FIGHT WITH SAVAGE LION.
Adventurous Hunter Paid for Sport
With His Life.

From the Sudan comes the report OF
fierce fight between wounded lion
and government engineer, which
ended in the death of the latter, an
Englishman named C. H. Salmon.
Salmon, while on board the steamer
Nehemiah, between Fashoda and
Melut, on the White Nile, discovered
lion among the bushes on the shore.
Taking gun, he went ashore asking
those on board not to follow him. He
shot twice at the lion, one bullet TAX
ing eject in the lions shoulder and
the other in the abdomen. After a
struggle of a few minutes, which
seemed to be his death agony, the lion
lay motionless. Salmon approached
and the lion pounced upon him, and
threw him to the ground and began
to maui him. The engineer held the
lions neck and endeavored to draw
his knife, but before he succeeded the
lion had bitten his thigh and crushed
his toes. He gave the beast a stab In
the eyes. This infuriated the animal,
which snapped at the mans hand. bad

pain of the knife thrust, however, was
too much for the animal and lie start

the unfortunate hunter to the boat
which then sailed with all possible
spe to Fashoda, where he was taken
to the hospital and received medical
attention. only to expire of his injuries
when removed to Khartum.

Crepe as a trimming is not likely to
be taken from its place of honor,
while there is no denying that as a

soft fabrics, which are SO high in
favor nowadays, the new make of
crepe being as amenable as the thin
fabrics themselves.

Pot Apple Pie.

Peel and quarter eight nice tart
apples (greenings are the best), and
slice in strips about half pound of
fat salt pork, and mix nice light bis
cult dough. Then take an iron ket-
tie and lay strips of the pork across
the bottom about half an inch apart;
then lay on that loosely some of the
quartered apples, then sugar and Gin
namon, then slice your biscuit dough
in strips about the same as the pork
and lay crosswise, leaving about an
inch between each strip. Repeat this
operation until you have used up your
material, having the biscuit dough on
top. Then pour down the side of the
kettle carefully cup of boiling water,
cover and cook slowly for one hour
and half. adding boiling water when
necessary. This Is delicious when
served with whipped cream.

WHEN FURNITURE is CRACKED.
Mixture That VIII Cover Up All
the Defects.

Ugly marks caused by Sits or
cracked places on furniture are easi-
ly filled in with beeswax and the
mark is never detected. In fact, this
is how furniture dealers cover such
blemishes. First slightly soften the
beeswax until 1t is like putty, then
press firmly into the cracks, and
smooth evenly with thin steel knife.
OF course, putty knife is best for
the purpose, but a dull case knife will
do. Sandpaper over the surrounding
wood and work the dust into the bees
wax. This gives a wood finish, or col
or, and when the furniture is var
nished you will look in vain for the
blemishes. Often this defect occurs
in the panels of furniture, headboards
of beds and tables. so try this meth
cd OF mending and you will be de-
lighted with the result. 1t is better
than putty. since putty soon dries,
crumbles and falls out, while bees
wax remains forever just where it is
placed.

TO HOLD LINGERIE RIBBONS.
Lawn or Fine Linen Best Material to
Use for Bag.

If you like to make fancy bags, but
are tired of the useless CONNECTIONS of
lace and silk on which so many girls
waste their time, make one of those
dear little bags for holding lingerie rib
bons.
AS narrow ribbons are SO generally
used for lingerie, a bag which will
hold the different lengths of ribbons
is necessary to keep them from being
soiled and creased.
1t is made of lawn or fine linen, with
a design of buttercups embroidered
on it.
When the embroidery is finished a
narrow hem is made at each end of
the material, feather stitched with
yellow silk used for the buttercups,
after which two circles of cardboard
are covered with lawn and overland

Gather an edge of the straight en-
broidered piece and fasten 1t to the
cardboard circle.

yellow silk in close buttonhole stitch
and the other edge of the embroidered
strip Is gathered and attached to this.
Through the opening in the side
place the ribbon, which can be drawn
out when needed through the silk cov-
cred ring.

Gigantic Potatoes.

Big potatoes which weigh as much
as man are not often seen. A small
consignment of them, however, has
just been sent off from the West In
dies. There were Just six potatoes,
and each was large enough to feed a
big family. Yam is the popular name
applied to this variety of giant sweet
potato. The tubers usually attain a
length of three feet and an average
weight of 80 pounds. Vans Weighing
from 100 to $50 pounds. however, are
by no means uncommon In the West
Indies and other parts of the tropics
where they thrive. In appearance the
yams look much like the ordinary po-
tatoes on greatly enlarged scale.
They are black or brown externally
and pale within, and are rich In starch.
When boiled they have q very pleas
ant flavor.

This sea-dog suggestion is SO dis

AS the young Corsican lady rises
from the table the English girl gets up

her contiguity to a betrothed whose
reproachful glances at her cold and
rather naughty face have grown en-
barrassing.
Would that l dared to take Marina
over the surges of the Atlantic to Eng
land" mutters the young husband
moodily, as Enid and his spouse disap-
pear into their staterooms.
About this time the mate, Mr.. Ora
ham, puts his head down the compan-
ionway and announces that Frenchy,
the cook, is jabbering for something
that none of them can make out
some folderol or other for his work.
This gives Barnes the opportunity
that he wishes of examining the only
foreigner ON board. He steps up the
companion ladder and strolls forward.
Monsieur Leboeuf, a dapper little
Frenchman in immaculate white apron
and cooks cap, his moustache bris-
tling ferociously and his black eyes
blazing, is savagely smoking cigar
outside his galley. Barnes offers him
a cigarette and thanks him for the two

daughter of the Paolls, from the mur-
defous vendetta understanding that his
reward is to be the hand of the girl he
loves, Enid Anstruther. sister of the Eng
lish lieutenant. The four fly from AJac-
clio to Marsellles on board the French
steamer Constantine. The vendetta pur-
sues and as the quartet are about to
board the train for London at Marseilles,
Marina is handed mysterious note
which causes her to collapse and necessi-
tates postponement of the journey.
Barnes gets part OF the mysterious note
and receives letters which inform him
that he is marked by the vendetta. He
employs an American detective and plans
to beat the vendetta at their own game.
For the purpose of securing the safety
of the women Barnes arranges to have
Lady Chartrls lease a secluded villa at
Nice to which the party is to be taken
in a yacht Suspicion is created that
Marina is in league with the Corsicans.
A man. believed to be Corregio Danella,
is seen passing the house and Marina is
thought to have given him sign. Ma
rina refuses to explain to Barnes which
fact adds to his latent suspicious. Barnes
plans for the safety of the party are
learned by the Corsicans. The carriage
carrying their party to the local landing
is followed by two men. One OF the
horseman is supposed to be Corregio.
They try to murder the American. The
cook on the yacht-a Frenchman-is sus-
pected of completely in the plot.

How to Peel Squash.

Now is the season of the Hubbard
squash, which is SO hard to peel. This
suggestion will save time and blistered
and discolored hands. Cut up the
squash with a hatchet in large pieces,
put in colander over kettle of hot
water, and cover with either a pan
or towel and steam until tender; it
can then be scraped from rind easily,
and when seasoned is much superior
in flavor to that cooked in water, and
with half the time and trouble and
with great saving.

Leboeuf shouts louder than anyone on
deck and fairly screams with Gallo

placing card on edge and splitting it

Later on Monsieur Leboeuf sets Mr..
Barnes to thinking again. He makes

To this rather astonishing announce
ment the young English naval officer
says: by Jove, the beggar did give
us good dinner"
TOO good!" remarks Barnes, gloom
lily.
You wouldn't say that" replies Ed
win, 'if you had been knocking round
the orient on wardroom commons for
the last year. What do you mean by
too good?' No cook is too good"
And yet I'd feel easier" is Burton's
comment, ''if the fellow had given us
lob-scouse, plum-duff. roast beef and
dishes plain Johnny Bull cook would
have been apt to concoct. l don't pro-
pose to blindly trust anyone with for

to investigate this fellow"
IF you find anything suspicious
about him." replies Anstruther, grimly,
'I'l put him ashore If he can make

Acting on this, by few deft ques-
tions to the members of the watch on
deck, Barnes discovers that the nauti-
cal chefs name is Felix Leboeuf.
That's as l twang it," remarks Gillie,
who is standing at the wheel giving
him the information. "Coswhite, Mr..
