EAGLE sKILLFuL IN STRATEGY.
Cunning Devices Used by the Mon
arch of the Air.

O~rnithologists are inclined TO dls-
courage the idea that eagles are In
the habit of attacking large animals
but a contest witnessed by an observ'
or dispels such theory. The battle
was between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from a herd
one particular buck, which II
ed in driving from the rest. 1t struck
the animal with its powerful wings
knocked It down and finally killed 1t.
A still more remarkable spectacle is
we'll authenticated. An eagle attack
ed a fawn in the highlands of Scot
land. The cries Of the little n were
answered by Its dam, which sprang
upon the eagle and struck 1t repeated.
~ with its forefeet. Fawn, deer and
eagle rolled down a d%eclivity, the bird
was dislodged from its hold an the
fawn rescued.
Many traditions are eXtant as to
the carrying off of children by eagles.
The most recent case bearing close
scrutiny Is one which happened In
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stock had been harried by eagles lay
in ambush for the robbers and saw
one of them descend and carry off the
5-year-old child of one of his Kaffir
servants. He shot the bird, which.
with the child still clutched in its
grip, fell into a thorn bush. The bird
was dead, but the child was little
hurt.
Two eagles will stalk a covert In
concert. While one ~conceals itself
the other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quar-
ry for the hidden eagle to swoop
down upon. An ever more insidious
method has been observed. An eagle
seeing a sheep on the edge OF a prec>
ipice flew at it. screaming shrilly and
with forceful beat of wing hurled 1t
into the valley below, where 1t could
devour it as leisure. In the light OF
such records there is good reason for
believing the legend of the eagle drop
pins a tortoise on the bald head of
~Aeschylus, the Greek poet, and SO
causing his death.

little hole in the toe of her stocking

James Eliot was quick to notice.
She had sat up late the night be-
fore 10 mend them carefully, but hav-
ing grown so thin, they could not
bear the strain of darning. 1t had
taken many weeks to save up enough
money for the new shoes and she had
needed them so much.
On entering the store she felt that
every clerk was looking at her shabby
shoes.
She remembered afterward that the
tall, dark man, the )prietor. who
waited on her, did not seem te
notice their s~habbiness and treated
her with the courtesy to which she
had been accustomed in happier days.
She smiled half bitterly as she re.
membered her extravaganza In those
days. Her mania for pretty shoes had
been a family joke.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a
pleasant voice saying. These seem to
fit you nicely. Do you care to ear

All that day something in the girls
face haunted James Eliot. He could
not understand 1t. Had he ever seen
her before? He had forgotten to ask

carefully he locked them in his desk.

she would return, but as she did not,
