WENATCHEE BONDS
IN BOSTON
A BLOCK OF $4,000 OFFERED ON
BOSTON MARKET MEETING
DEMANDA-WAS OF RE
CENT ISSUE.

Boston, Mass, Oct. "A 100000
block of Wenatchee, Washington
city bonds, offered on the Boston
market, is meeting a good demand,
mainly from small purchasers, trust
funds and estates. These bonds are
per cent maturing 1924 and sell at
1861 to net 4.40 per cent. income
after accrued interest.
The bonds offered on the Boston
market are of the issue recently pur-
chased by the Harris Loan & Trust
company of Chicago and from which
the city realized $4,000. The fact
that old conservative Boston Is buy
ing western bonds shows that senti-
ment is changing in the effete east
and that western securities are be-
ginning to be appreciated for their
true worth.

felt half pleased at being disturbed.
There was nothing for it but to mount
guard again, and another broken
nights rest was the consequence. Still
the animals did not seem to approach
any nearer By the sound they were
evidently close by the water. AS soon
as the morning snack was over l set
the boys to work to get everything in
readiness for inspanning, and started
off once again, this time keeping close
along the bank of the river as the most
likely way of coming across the spoor

case, and her rich, tawny skin was
sufficient temptation for me; so l
aimed at her throat, which presents a
much easier and safer mark than that
of the hon, with its matted and tan
gled name, sufficient at times to offer
considerable impeachment to bullet.
She must have raised her head as |
fired, for my ball passed harmlessly
by; fortunately, too. for me, missing

been the result. All the same, | was
in no enviable position, with my car

of keeping my eye intently fixed on
that of the lioness; whether that had
anything to do with her refraining
from charging | will not pretend to
say. but she did remain still whilst
mechanically reloaded and as me-
chemically brought up my weapon.
Taking more careful aim this time, |
potted her right in her white cravat,
sending her in a somersault over the
young ones to their no little astonish-
ment, and, what with the roaring of
the lioness and the row made by the
cubs, there was quite Bedlam. Then,
appearing to realize their danger, they
suddenly vanished into cover again,
rather to my relief. My lioness strug-
gled SO violently that 1t was difficult
to finish her off. but at last she gave
me chance to put her out of her
misery by bullet through her brain.
AS soon as she lay still | seated my.
self upon her and waited for the reap
pearance of the cubs, but, although /
stayed until the sun had got very low,
| never saw anything more of either
of them. therefore whipped off her
hide, and rolling 1t up returned to the
lion, and served him likewise, getting
through with the job before dusk. The
hyenas could now worry at the car
casses, though l hoped | might find
the skulls in the morning. Making
my two skins into a bundle, though
an unwieldy one. | carried IL all right

On the Track of a Lioness.

The brush was SO thick that ii was
next to impossible to get through 1t,
and therefore. as II was clear around,
and there was no fear of making a con-
flagration, set fire to 1t as the best
apparent means of ousting our game.
Telling Bob, my Kafir driver, to keep
close behind me, went little fur
Their round the cover and was just in
time to see a lioness break away, but
so far off that l did not fire, preferring
to let her go, in hopes of getting a
more favorable chance for a shot. BY
this time the blaze had got so powerful
that we, too. were glad to get away
from it.
The lioness made straight for an
other bit of brush, whittier we went
after her, and, though the thorns were
quite thick enough, decided to follow
her in. My boy did not relish accom-.
panying me, nor could exactly blame
him; for, though fair hunter and a
brave enough lad in ordinary, he did
not like lions, his father having been
killed and his brother badly mauled by
one. 1t was rather difficult keeping
her spoor. but after some trouble and
considerable wear and tear, | espied
her lying on bare spot, watching me
intently. Her head was resting be.

sible, | fired between her eyes, and
could have sworn | planted the bullet
there. for she was not above thirty
PAGES from me, Turning to take my
spare carbine from Bob, found that
he had vanished. But the lioness never
stirred, and l was hurriedly reloading
when she suddenly jumped up and
dashed further into the thicket.
