Sympathizers outside attacked
the offers aud secured the kew

throwo bodily back into the room
and the door locked, the crowd
marching away in triumph. The
policemen chased the women for
several blocks to get the key aud
went back to release their BROTH

the escaped prisoners addressed
the crowd of 1000 who had fol-
lowed them. During the tustle
With the police the women fought

To Grow Elephants in Texas,

The establishment of an ele-
ohant ranch near Valentine, Tex
a., marks a third line Of serious
.ndeavor to transplant to the
United States as manent ha b.
ltauts wild-life creations of Asia
and Africa.
In the first experiment. under
taken ia the gold-fever days of
he 1865, the govern nent was
active. Camels we're imported and
the effort was made to breed and
use them for military and gener-
Al transportation purposes On
the great western deserts. Sew.
eral causes combined to bring
the venture to nothing-the
prejudice of the army mule and
MS drivers, the raids of sports
men and, most of all, the break
ing out of the civil war.
The second experiment began
il 1892. with ostriches as its sub
iect. Southern California saw
the opening venture, aud in that
region and in Arizona the breed
ing of the great birds is now a
settle industry. There are ostrich
farms also in Texas and Florida.
For the encouragement of the
would-be elephant breeders OF
Texas there is the fact that the
ancestors of the gianu pachy'
dcrms have been traced by til eli
fossils all the length of the Ameri
cas-that is, as far south as Ar
gentina-and that they seemed
to have favored a temperate eli
mate. Profit is to be sought, it is
understood, rather in tusks AND
hides than in training elephants
to bear burdens, to haul vaps, or
as in the Barnum circus instauc,
at Bridgeport, to speed th'
| plough.

The morning would be well advanced

"Have you noticed any laundry

He fished out of the bubbles a little
vest, on which were worked the letters

"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her identity. especially II
the laundry mark is there also"
I'm feared there's nothing else"
said Jones. 'I've not looked very care

The gulls and cormorants, filling the

rapid fight in the wake of the boat,
darling ever and anon at the water or
making daring peeks at the floating

Soon Brand glanced over his Shout

ease Of practiced oarsman, he turned
his craft to bring her stern on to the
landing place.
Lower a hasketw he cried to Jones,
