cases. some of them of the most intri-
cate and extraordinary character. In
which he played prominent part
Many startling successes and few un-
avoidablc failures were the outcome OF
this long period Of continuous work.
A have preserved very full notes OF
all these cases. and was myself person
ally engaged In many OF them, IL may
be Imagined that IL Is no easy task TO
know which should select To lay be-
fore the public. l shall. however, pre-
serve my former rule. and give the
preference To those ca-es which derive
their interest not so much from the
brutality OF the crime AZ from the In
genulty and dramatic quality OF the
solution. Fos this reason I will now
lay before the reader the facts con-
nccted with Miss Violet Smith. the
solitary cycllst of darlington. and the
curious sequel Of our investigation.

Eagles and Their Pray.

from 1outhH companion.
Ornithologists are inclined to disCour-
ngc the idea that eagles are In the hae't
OF attacking large animals. but "a con-
test witnessed by an observer and re-
corded I'm the Scotsman dispels such -
theory. The battle was between an
eagle and stag. The bird singled out
from n herd one particular buck. which
II succeeded In driving from the rest.
IL struck TIE animal with its powerful
wings, knocked Il down and finally
killed IL.
A stu more remarkable spectacle IN
well authenticated. An eagle attacked
a tawn in the highlands. The cries OF
the little one were answered by its
dam. which sprang upon the eagle and
struck u repeatedly with It's forefeet.
Fawn, deer and eagle rolled down n
declIVity. the bird was dislodged from
SITS hold and the fawns rescued.
Many traditions are extant rs 20 the
carrying of 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 ana saw one OF them de-
sccnd and carry of the five-year-old
child OF one OF his Knffir servants. He
shot the bird, which. with the child
still clutched I'm It's grip. fell into a.
thorn bush. The bird was dead. but the
child was little hurt.
Two eagles Will stalk covert In con-
cert. While one conceals itself the 9TH

screaming, driving out its quarry for

beat of It's wing hurled IL into the val
ley below. where II could devour 81 at
leisure. In the light OF such records

from the pasture to tho barn does much
moro injury than generally supposed and
assuredly makes the flow OF milk much
less. The supply OF milk depends very
largely upon the condition Of mind OF the

she consumes makes rich milk OF the best
quality: II she IN frightened her milk
