in the woods near here by the quick
ness and uucrring aim Of William
Rycr, proprietor Of set Of sporting
camps at Hound Brook lake. The two

Perched on a branch directly above
the game warden was another cat as
large again as either Of those that had
been killed The animal was creeping
slowly forward, his lips drawn back
over his glittering teeth and the look of
demon on his savage face Just as
Ryer'S eye caught the cat the animal
gave a start and leapcd full for War
den IIOdgEins, still unconscious of his
danger. Rycr, shouting a hasty cry Of
warning, whipped his So caliber re
yolvcr from his holster and fired while
the cat was in the air. The bullet
struck the animal between the eyes,
and he dropped dead.

SURGEONS MAKE AN EYELlD.
Patient Had Been Burned About the

BaItmore.-A rare operation in Opt
cal surgery was performed ut a hospi-
tai here when three large pieces of
skin were taken from the arm of Miss
Sarah Frcgo to make a new lid for her
left eye. 1t is thought the sight of the
eye. which was rapidly failing on ac-
count of exposure, will be saved by
the operation. Already the grated
skin has started to take root, and the
patient can partly open and close the
eyelid.
After the skin was taken from Miss
Trego's arm the Scared tissue sur
rounding the eye and the membrane of
the lid were removed. In the denudcd
area the skin of the patients arm was
grated.
