PLAYED WITH A LION
1 sOutA African ChlIa Whs RaR te Hsst the
Big .'Bogsls."

EEaE#E%@
The infant son of one of the Dutch
settlers in South Africa had strayed
away. After some time a search party
discovered little footprints leading
in the direction of the bush. Follow
ing up these, the search party came
upon a large open space, at the far
Their side of which they discovered
the object of their search sitting hug
ging a little wooden doll and MUNICH
ing a piece of bread and butter. Be-
fire they could make their way
through the thick, tangled UNDER
growth, a large lion sprang into the
clearing. The little boy, far from
being frightened, ran to meet the
lion. holding up his bread and butter,
and said, Take a bite, doggie."
The father stood powerless to
move or speak through Tear, expect
ing each instant to see the child
crushed under the lions paw, but in
stead Of doing as he dreaded, the lion
turned himself over and lay on his
back at the child's feet, looking up
in his face as a cat would do at play.
Watching his opportunity, the father
raised his gun and fred, hitting the
lion in the leg. The animal sprang
up, and, leaving the child, rushed on
the party, injuring two Of the num-
Der before it was finally killed. From
this circumstance, the child was inn
mediately cbristened by the settlers

STRANGE TRAGEDY RE-

AGED SPINSTERS
one BODY Hanging, and Both
Perforated by Hatpin Wounds
Was There a Fight?

Newark, N. j., Dec. 1.-Two aged
n aen sisters, Frances and Isabel
RI bic. were found dead today in
th homes here.
anees, the elder, was lying on
the floor, while the body Of the sister
dangled from a piece Of clothes line
made fast above the door. The first
Indications were that Frances had
died from natural causes, and that
Ias lad hanged herself in a par
OK % IF grief. This theory was dis
pei q ..wher a small box was found
ia he dining-room, on the cover Of
VIII h had been written the words:
ances hung herself at 2H Sat.
Ne too
Ibis led to the belief that the two
Ola women had carried out b suicide
pad, Frances hanging herself first
andsbe body being cut down by the
sister. But further investigation
bropelt to light more gruesome de-
tails. Underneath her clothing. and
sticking III the breast Of Frances was
a bat Pin, buried in the flesh up 10
its iblaek head. The pin had been
driven close to the heart to a depth
of about four inches. Similar wounds,
but of not SO sarious a nature, were
foutd on the other body, which leads
to fhe belief that the sisters may
quatreled and fought.
Whether Frances deliberately
hanged her sister, then killed herself
with The hatpin, or whether the sis
ter found hanging stabbed the other
and then ended her life, will perhaps
never be known. The hands of the
body on the floor were carefully
crossed. and the head rested on a
sofa cushion.
There il a possibility that both
we're murdered, but the house shows
rs trace Of having been entered by
strangers. The women had lived

the Kaid Of Eararhe was vas convin-

and affection of bis sovereign, and
boasted to his companions that he
had never been asked to give an ac-
count Of the revenues Of his office.
AT last the day came when the
Kaid Of Larache decided to return
to his home. The caravan was ac-
cordingly prepared, and the Kaid
went to the palace to take leave Of

His majesty condoled with the
Kaid for having to return to an
