East African Highlands.

The young Englishman, be he officer
or settler in the east African high
lands, cuts hardy figure. His clothes
are few and far between. A sun hat,
brown flannel shirt with sleeves cut
above the elbow and open to the chest,
a pair Of thin khaki knickerbockers
cut short five inches at least above the
knee, boots and pair of putties COM
prise the whole attire. Nothing else Is
worn. The skin, exposed to sun,
thorns and insects, becomes almost as
dark as that of the natives, and so
hardened that it is nothing to ride all
day with bare knees on the saddle-a

Sons Come to Aid Her.
Turner, who was drinking Mast
night with Paul Paulson and anQther
man from the sawmill, suggested
that they go to the latter's house and
have a talk. He then suggested that
Paulson go for a rig to take the lat

the barn he returned to the house
ami attempted to assault Mrs. Paul
son, who has black and blue marks
on her arms to show for her struggle
with the brute. Her screams brought
her two young sons to her relief
and Turner fed.
Going to the Wearing home, he
called to Mrs. Wearing, saying: "Mr.
Yearing wants you to come to the

the screen from her bedroom window

offer he exclaimed: "Oh, this is Lulu;
