For many years a remarkable col lection ot cross-bred wild anlmnls has roamed the pristine wilderness that covers the mountain slopes and valleys adjacent to Cerralvo. state of Tamaull pas, Mexico. Occasionally specimens of these beasts hove been killed by hunters and their carcasses brought to Cerralvo and exhibited. It ts not uncommon for mountain lloo with mane to be brought In, and several bears that are unmistakably a cross between the black and cinnamon species have fallen victims to the dar ing sportsmen who hav& penetrated their remote habitat. It Is explained that 35 years ago animals from me nagerie which was being transported by rail from the United Stntes to Mon terey escaped when the train was wrecked.

None of the original stock was ever recaptured and they are said to have adapted themselves to their new home and In many Instances to have crossed with native wild animals, In this part of Mexico are great num bers of Mexican lions or cougars. They are long, lithe animals which bear lit tle resemblance to the African lion. The cross-breed of these two species are almost equal In size to the African Hon and are said to be very ferocious when attacked. The cougar has often been known to attack and carry off Mextcan children, but none of the new breed has been knorrn to do this, It Is In the higher reaches of the moun tains that the mixed cinnamon bears are found.

Washington will receive for the same purpose $640,761 The Treasure Hunters By MARTHA WILLIAMS ( by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) TMcklsh mist made the hickory flat world of faery, as a little earlier, frost had made it a world of gold. Nowhere does nature paint a gold bo richly Joyously golden as on the big rough leaves that sail down In lazy circles to lie crisping and exhaling the most delicious of all autumn scents. Especially when the leaf-carpet Is deli cately sodden, and the half -bare boughs above, writhing like ebony snakes, dis till big bright drops that splash like clods on dead summer's grave. Leland had escaped to it with the primal Joy of a wild creature loosed suddenly In its native haunts. City bred, her soul was yet truly sylvan; she loved even the stolid stately oak woods, and the soughing pines, but here In the flat was her true heart's home. She knew every dip and angle of It the squirrel trails to the most fruitful scaly barks, the deceitful pig nut trees that yielded only bitter fruit, but were the happy hunting ground of all the hogs running out even the hoop-pole thickets, tall, straight, lim ber sprouts from the roots of big trees cut for wagon timbers years and years back. There was hardly a nut to the sapltpg In the thickets ; to make up for that, they were laced richly with wild grapevines heavily fruited. Thus pos sums made feast in them, coons like wise, and such constant birds as stayed the winter through. Vagrant humans despoiled their verge, but so plenteous was the spoil they rarely ventured fur ther In. Leland's mind was set on ex actly that adventure she must bring It tn r.ns today, because tomorrow she would be 1,0 lunger Lie. Aunt Helen would come then, pano plied with a wedding gown, a ring, a bridegroom, all of ber own choosing, and all, of course, for her niece. A little later she would whistle in cater ers, lawyers, a bishop and such neigh bors as were worthy of social recog nition, get the wedding over and done with, then make haste back across the sea to her beloved borne In England. Thorough expatriate that she was, she had somehow understood the futility of underaklng to match Leland with anything English, or even New Eng lish with the Harvard brand. Leland, willful as any gypsy, threw back to her Carolina mother, whose vivid strain had quite swamped Saltonstall blood. A bit strange, considering that the mother had died at her birth, the father lived on and on until the child was fifteen. He had seen little of her hating her at first as the source of his bitter bereavement, then coming to regard her with a sort of Impatience, as a responsibility unwelcome because thrust upon him. Dying, he had left his daughter and her Inheritance abso lutely under his sister's control. But Mrs. Manners, born Saltonstall, found out experimentally that there Is a dif ference betwixt control legal and con trol actual Leland craved Just two things life and love. Mrs. Manners had played her cards so skillfully, she made her niece understand that the way to both was through marriage. Then she had brought the girl briefly In contact with young Norton, who was handsome, well born, withal fairly well-off and not of fensively masculine. Result, a be trothal decorously rapid. Ever since Leland bad been hating herself for It, But she was shrewd-wltted enough to understand she would gain nothing by drawing back. Also worldly-wise enough to feel that should the bonds prove too galling there were ways of escaping them and once married, she would have a lot ef money, securely her own. Callous, yon say, for barely sweet- and-twenty? In mitigation remember her lack of lore, ber craving for It. She had hoped wildly she might come to love Norton; Instead, she simply tolerated him, as a wty of escape. Thought of htm should not taint these last hours of freedom. She raised her clasped hands as though In Invocation to the ebony serpent high overhead, then at full run plunged Into the breast of the thicket; It gave to her Impact, but was so resilient It threw her back clear of Itself. Laugh ing, she plunged again, stabbing the matted mass with ber keen scout knife. By help of It she made her way twenty yards in, then stopped short at sight of a gnomelike figure kneeling In a shallow pit. Upon a blanket at the pit edge lay surveyor's Intruments and a heavy revolver. Through the soft, dead stillness of the thicket he caught her startled breath, looked up to what appeared a boy In scout raiment and called to It rather gruffly: "Son It strikes me you have pressing business somewhere else." "I doubt It, Little Brother," Leland sent back, moving a step nearer. Thus he saw his mistake. With a low whis tle he went on : "Morning mists are full of surprises ; suppose I ask you polite ly to run along and forget what you are leelngr "My memory ts something awful,' Leland said plaintively. She had no mind to loose the skirts of adventure now that Fate flung them on her hands. "Only way I can forget things ts to know all about them. You see, they don't bother me after that" "Stranger here T" he asked. She nodded, adding: "But alt this belongs to me through my mother. That's why I insisted on coming here to be msrrted; but whatever your guilty secret. I won't tell it to a soul because there's no soul I know wen enough "You never heard of the bank rob bery five years back?" The girl shook her head the gnome ran on: "Fine neat Job more gold than a strong man ought to carry vanished from the vault betwixt midnight and morning. How, nobody has ever found out, neither who It was that helped on the vanishing. Made a lot of talk, does still, In fact. I'm neither a detective nor a clairvoy ant, merely a bum surveyor, at your service. A fortnight back I had the Job of running your party line, there west of us, and somehow I kept coming into this thicket, when I hadn't the least need of It This spot stuck In my mind ; three nights since then between sleep and waking I have seen myself, as you see me, digging hard as dark turns to daylight. Why, Is a mystery, but the thing got so on my nerves, I came after twe o'clock in the morning to see the thing through." "I am so glad ; let me help," Leland cried eagerly, kneeling and plunging her knife deep In the rich black earth. The man looked at her with a touch of awe. "You've got grit," he said, very low. "But, you know you are safe. I'd die rather than let harm come to you." Again she nodded, smiling at him across the cascading earth and pebbles. They kept at it for an hour, harrtlv speaking, then the gnome scrambled upright, saying, "My foot's sound asleep I" stamping hard as he spoke. "Again I It rings hollow," Leland all but whispered. The gnome obeyed, then sank down tearing at the heavy earth with bare hands. Leland stopped him, saying tensely, "Pick and spade," and when he had plied them vigorously a minute or so, "There's a big root; cut It" It was a big root, spreading wide and flattlsh over something It could not devour nor dislodge. It was Iron black and so hard it almost turned the knife edge, but presently the gnome wrenched It a little way upward with n hellnw nf triumph. The growthy root bad forced slightly apart the lid and rim of an Iron pot. Pried wholly apart, a matter of leverage and calculation. the lid came off, revealing moldering sacks with gold eagles popping through. "We did really find a treasure," Le land cried gayly. The gnome smiled at her enchantlngly, despite his grimy face. "I have found two," he said, sig nificantly. "My name is Joe Herbert ; my uncle the bishop will vouch for me when he comes " "But but how do you account for It your dreaming and all that?" Leland Interrupted. "It may account for Itself any way It likes," said Herbert. "My Scotch great- grandmamma had second sight, maybe a little of It came down to me," By grace of his flivver Joe got the treasure safe to the bank around twelve o'clock. As he swung Into the president's room with the bulging blanket, clay-marked and damp, on his shoulder, that excellent gentleman fell In a dead faint, from which happily he never recovered. The gold went back Into the vaults with no flourish of trumpets, but In strict privacy; young Mr. Herbert was paid the standing re ward of five thousand dollars. But since great bodies function slowly, that was a bit after he came home from his honeymoon. Of course he married Leland, Aunt Helen and young Norton to the contrary notwithstand ing. And nobody has ever said they did not live happy ever after. GOT EVEN WITH "OLD MAN" Irreverent Solon ot Distinguished Southern Family Avenged Himself for Period of Humiliation. Family tradition, honor and that sort of thing still retain a prominent posi tion in ethical codes of the South. Thus there was much ado when the prodigal son of a certain Southern aristocracy one night distinguished him self far beyond the bounds of propriety and was subsequently committed to the town Jail. The father, hastily sum moned from out of town, sent word to detain his offspring until his arrival, which would be by the first train. Early morning found a resentful, but not a repentant, son. He was outraged this being held until the pater ar rived. Disgusting! huge bore I Imme diately following the father's arrival a consultation was witnessed by the fam lly portraits.

Shortly thereafter, while the vessel was yet In harbor, a scandal was aired It swept the country from shore to shore and caused sensational newspa per headings to flare across front pages, for the colonel, father ot the shanghted miscreant, was of no mere average prominence. Relatives again assembled to take steps toward bolstering the clan honor. There was talk of this and that. In the midst of discussions a telegram from the erstwhile member arrived, ad dressed to an older brother and unique ly terse. It read : "Set sail today. Hold the old man until I arrive."
