NEW PARADISE FOR HUNTER
East Africa Has Probably the lasa

A new hunting field of vast area,

first went to Africa shortly after Col
Theodore Roosevelt visited the coun-
try four years ago. He was so de-
lighted with his experiences that he
returned recently with new expedi-
ton to travel into more remote re.
gions. He obtained permission from
the German government to hunt In
the German territories. and here
found the country he describes.
After being out Of touch with civ
ilization for many weeks, Mr.. White
sent a messenger with letters to VIC
toria Nyanza. He writes that the new
field, where the sound Of . rife never
has been heard, is as big as the hunt

and that there are in It thousands
upon thousands Of head Of game Of all
sorts. Wildebeste, which are found
IN big herds, stand at Q hundred
yards distance to watch the party
pass, and other animals, many Of them
Of rare species, are 20 tame that the
hunter can walk up TO them In plain

low hills reaching down to the open

Men Of Heavy Brain.

In letter to the New York Times

he had Just five hundrsd-barely
enough to pay the doctors expenses.
Stevens was paralyzed with dismay.
His coup was useless, and he had
spent about twenty dollars moving
and on the dinner Of the preceding
evening. There was only one course
now-to 80 back and smuggle the
money into the drawer again, this
time not under the listless watching
Of Wrigley, but under the eagle
glances Of Waterbury.
A wave of disgust and utter self
contempt passed over Stevens. Fate
had dealt him the worst, because the
most unsuspected, blow. Well, he
would go back on the following morn
ing; he could somehow contrive to re-
place the money; at the worst suspi-
cion need not fall upon him. and when
the money was found the matter
would cease to be Of pressing inter

Remorse, disgust, self-loathing, and Q

cussing something.

The room seemed to swim round
Stevens. He heard the old mans
voice continuing. as IL far away.
YES, he was killed in the wreck on
the Southern & Eastern this morning.
He was then four hundred miles from
New York, and-his clothes were
stuffed with bills aggregating twelve
thousand dollars. We've searched the
safe and find he had filled 1t with Con-
federate bills, with a single good one
on top Of each package. They're
counting up the loss now"
Stevens staggered into his cage.
"Mr. Harrison wants to see you, y
announced q boy presently.
Stevens went into the presidents
office as II he.were drunk.
"Ah, Mr.. Stevens, this Is q very un.
fortunate occurrence" said the presi.
dent. "You have heard Of It, Of course.
Unfortunately there seems to be no
room for doubt as to Mr.. Waterbury's
purpose, and, more happily. don't
think we shall be the losers, as we
should have been but for that unfor.
tunate wreck. Well. Mr.. Stevens, we
are going to ask you to act In Mr.. Wa.
terbury's place for the present. and
later, possibly, we shall make the po-
sition permanent The salary, you may
know, Is two thousand five hundred
dollars. Good-mornins."
Stevens first act was to slip the
packages away where their presence
might be discovered later. His second
was to pray with all his heart to be
made worthy Of his fortune.

he would be safe from detection.
What's the matter, Stevens? Why

manded Waterbury irritably.

hurriedly drawn upon to satisfy the
cravings Of long famished appetites.
The next task was to make the cabin
habitable. and to this end it was first
decided to remove the grewsome relics
Of the tragedy which had taken place
there on some bygone day.
Professor Porter and Mr.. Philander
were deeply Interested in examining
the skeletons. The larger two they
stated to have belonged to q male and

The smallest skeleton was given but
