A Deceptive Appearance

An old family coach with the
driver on the box was waiting at
the railway station. Beside the car
rage stood gentleman who had
come down to welcome his brother
home.
The expected guest was a portly
old Virginian who tipped the scales
at $50 pounds.
When the old negro coachman
espied the incoming train rounding
curve he exclaimed:
Il know Marse Williams on dere.
Marse Frank, cause see how dat
kyar kreens Ply outh's Compan-
ion.

Clever Thieves Of Santiago.

The thieves of Santiago are per-
sons of extraordinary powers. They
have curious way Of dragging val
liable objects out of open windows
with long fish lines ending in a clus-
ter of enormous hooks. ssThey are
as clever with them," says Mrs.
Hugh Fraser in "Reminiscences of
a Diplonatist's Wife," cas- a good
fisherman with fly, and they can
empty room in an incredibly short
time, as woman who had incau-
tiously left her baby asleep with the
window open in the twilight found
out She was not away for more
than a quarter of an hour, but when
she returned she found the baby
bowling with the cold, its very
blankets taken and the room ais bare

At GRIPS WITH A LION.
Exciting Battle at Close Quarters WIZ"
Thrilling Finish.

..;.;,o Battle at Close Quarters with
Thrilling Finish.
IL Won come suddenly face to face
With q lion at ten PAGES or pass IN
the toll grass within few yards OF
hidden lioness and her cubs the
chances are that you must elther
xiii or be killed, declares MIR. r. B;
Rronson. the author of 'ln Closed
One morning Godfrey Charles
Ruyton left camp at dawn with his
Somali shikari. When not more
than half an hour out from camp
he saw big black name about
hundred yards away, leisurely retlr-
;ng before him. Buxton raced IN
nnrsuit until he came within fifty
Yards of the lion, and then, some
what winded. halted for shot. At
the same moment the lion stopped
and turned. His tail began to
lash angrily from side to side, his
head was raised and his eyes blazed
angrlly.
With steady aim Buxton sent
heavy ball crashing into his quarry
and dropped him quivering IN the
grass. If Buxton had left him the
lion would have been dead in fifteen
minutes. but although he knew he
had given a mortal wound Buxton
fred again. He could see little OF
the recumbent body and missed.
The shot, however. reused the dying
lion to action. He rose and charged.
In another instant the huntsman
and his quarry were at death grips.
Buxton was sure that the hon
was carrying his death "wound and
that he needed only to save him
self for few moments. Above all,
he must keep his feet and hold the
lion off. So, as the lion came on,
Buxton rammed his empty rifle bar
rel into the open jaws until three
fourths of its length had passed
down the animals throat.
There followed a struggle unpar-
alleled, believe, in the history of
lion hunting. They swayed and
struggled, while the beasts claws
tore the flesh Of the mans arms and
legs to ribbons. Just as Buxton was
near going down in sheer exhaus-
ton help came from the Somali
shikari.
The shikari had been trying all
this time to shoot the lion with the
spare Mauser, but could not dis
charge it. The gun had been set
at "safe,'' and in his excitement the
Somali failed to discover what the
trouble was.
At length. in the very nick of
time, the Somali dropped the gun
and literally sprang upon the lions
back. Then he began to pound the
beast SO vigorously with his fists
that it whirled about to reach him,
and man and beast went to earth to-
gether, the Somali beneath the lion
and the Mauser rifle beneath the
Somali.
Thus released, Buxton painfully
rose, gingerly pulled the Mauser
free and with it blew the lions
brains out.
Dr. Hall, the resident physician
of Juja farm, got to Buxton just
in time to save his life. With
iron nerve Buxton had cauterized
his thirteen deep wounds with pure
crystals of permanganate of potash
and so prevented septicaemia from
adding to the peril that he suffered
from his loss Of blood.
