Passing of African Game.

For two centuries there has been lit
tie let or hindrance to the slaughter
of animal life in southern Africa. But
now game laws exist and with their
enforcement it is expected that the sup
ply of game can be kept up and that
some of the old hunting grounds may
be restocked.
Lions are still plentiful over large
areas and even in the mining districts
Of Rhodesia. Elephants are becoming
scarce, being practically extinct south
of the Zambesi, except on the east coast
and In few parts of Rnodesia. They
are now strictly protected to save them
from extinction.
The rhinOceros is rare except In the
Portuguese country south Of the Zam-
best. The hippopotamus is TO be found
only in Orange River, the streams of
Zululand and M the Portuguese rivers.
One of the remarkable natives is

WHY ARTISTS LOVE BRITTANY

Country Has Long Been . Grese
Source of Inspiration.
Brittany has been SO great source
OF inspiration to painters during the
last forty years that men Of all nation
alities have been attracted to this land
Of mysterious charm, says the Crafts
man. Art colonies have spr1mg up
here and there, the most familiar be-
ing the cosmopolitan colonies at Point
Aven and Concarneau in southern Brit
tany. 4fF
The painter finds in Brittany an iu-
exhaustible wealth of subjects. The
landscape Is varied in character and
appeals to men Of varied temperaments
and varying moods. In some parts
there are richly wooded valleys, fertfl-
lied by running streams; in other parta
the country is bleak and mountainous.
or made up of tracts of wild moor
land and forests. All round the coast
from st. Malo to St Nazairo the seem
cry is marvelously picturesque and
dotted with poor fishing hamlets and
prosperous seaside resorts. The fisher
people are a hardy race, essentially
pictorial in their picturesque surround
ings, and varied in type, the somber
Dowarenez folk being quite unlike the
more pleasure-loving expansive people
Of Camaret. Inland one finds the re-
| ligious and toil-worn peasants, who
live meager and nonotonous life in
their peaceful villages, content to think
| and act and dress as their forefathers
/ have done for centuries.
| There is scarcely town or village
| In Brittany but has some interesting
| feature, hence one finds artists at work
here and there throughout the country.
Treguier, Perros Guirec, st. Jean du
Doigt and other lovely hooks along
the coast 6. are all artists haunts,
| though the peasants are less interest
| ing at these places than ut many 9TH
ers where the costume is more pictur-
| esaue and more generally worn. The
inland villages and towns of Brittany
are not less delightful than those by
the sea. Dinant is eternally charming
in spite of its being overrun by visit
ors; and Huelgoat, Chateaulln, LIE
Faouet-to name a few cut Of the
many places of the beaten track--at-
tract both figure and landscape paint
ers who need solitude for their work.
Huelgoat is mountain village in a
healthfui district. and is absolutely de-
lightful with its wild moorland and
forests.

So he determined to 60 ahead and
trust to his usual good luck either to
outrun or outwit them. Without slack
ening speed lie rode on toward them.
He was armed, Of course. A repeat
Ing rifle was slnng across his back and
a revolver and a knife were stuck in
his belt.
When they were within 200 yards of
each other, the Indians stopped, their
guns In their hands. Sam stopped also
and unslung his rifle. Perhaps at this
distance he might prove to be the bet
ter shot and pick Off one or two of
them II their bullets missed him. Any
way. he much preferred to fight with
200 yards between them and he re-
solved to move no farther. but wait for
developments.
Meanwhile the Indians conferred
| with each other for few minutes and
one of them signed for him to ceme
on. He promptly signed that he
wouldn't do 1t.
/ At this the redskins started toward
him, holding up their hands in token
of friendship. But Sam was too shrewd
to be caught in such trap-he knew
them too well. His reply was shot
from his rife, and one Of the Indians
tumbled Off his horse.
The other two Immediately fired at
him, their balls whistling harmlessly
i by him. but, nevertheless. Sam fell
from his pony to the ground and lay
still In the long grass. The pony stood
like rock, for Sam had thrown the
reins over his head.
All this time his enemies were gal
looping rapidly toward him. Another
shot from them would ne doubt hav,

beasts and desperate highwaymen
were frequent. q
One of the pluckiest riders was lit,
tie Sam Dudley. He was only eighteen
years old, and his build was almost as
slight as a woman's, but the strongest
man couldn't stand fatigue any better
than Sam. He seemed to be made up
of steel and steam.
Sam had route that was, particu.
larly dangerous, as 1t lay In region
where bands of Shoshone Indians were
always providing about. War-path or
no war-path, they robbed and butcher

them at disadvantage. and when pur-
sued by parties sent out to avenge the
outrage they hid themselves among the
rocks and lay quiet until 1t was safe
to come out again.
Tits was down In Nevada, near the
Toquim mountains. Sam rode from
Austin to San Juan, distance Of fifty
miles, his course running most of the
way along the Reese river.
Sam was due in San Juan one after
noon about 8 o'clock. but that hour
had passed, and then A o'clock, and he
had not arrived. The mail agent seem
ed to be trifie uneasy as he talked
about the delay.
He said Sam Dudley, the rider. was
