"You have been a good wife to me,
Nellie dear," snid the squire, as he rose,
and pressed his lips to Mrs. Denison’s
fair cheek. "Y ou don't see this in the
right light, but you will when you think
it over. Meanwhile, you will do what I
want— eh?"
" I will tell Maude when you deem it
necessary," returned the soft voice of his

though you know best.”
“ Y’ ou have not thought it over as I
have. Do so, and you will change your

Denison had been brought up from her
cradle a thorough believer in the dogma of
caste, and even her gentle nature rebelled
at the idea that a daughter of hers should
wed the son of a low-born attorney. We
know her passionate idolatry of Maude,
surpassing even a mother's love. It is
easy to picture the bitter tears she shed
after that morning's interview. She was
a woman naturally given to weeping.

To secure a bag of elghty-one ele
phants in these prosaic days will seem
like a dreuni to most sportsmen, but
the feat has Just been accomplished by
J. W. Vlljoen nnd eight other Dutch
farmers lu the Lomagundi district. The
government has just thrown the district
open for the destruction of elephants,
and this enormous bag was made with
in sixty miles of the capital of Rho
desia, and near the railway.
Vlljoen and Ills party pitched their
camp at Maquadzlo, the center of the
elephant district, nnd divided up Into
pairs, a fact which nearly led to a fa
tality, for going through the bush Vll
joen encountered Ills first elephant,
which he shot. As tills fell another
one crushed through the trees at the
hack of the hunter, and pursued him,
once striking the horse with Ills trunk,
until Vlljoen succeeded In reaching
clearer ground, where he found himself
thirty yards ahead of his pursuer. Slip
ping off his horse, he fired at the ele
phant and killed it.
One Incident marred the sport, and
that was the accidental shooting of a
member of tlie party named Eloflf. Eloff
nnd three companions pnlred off and
walked a distance of about fifty yards
apart, when Eloff nnd his friend sud
denly saw two elephants. They fired,
hut only succeeded in shooting off a
tusk of one of the animals, who prompt
ly charged them. Eloff made In the
direction of the men in front of him,
and they, seeing the beast crashing
through the brush behind them and
ignorant of Eloff's whereabouts, fired
at the elephant, and while one bullet
dispatched the elephant, the other
found a billet in Eloff's neck, killing
him Instantly.
The party came back to the Trans
vaal the richer for 2.000 pounds of
Ivory and seven young elephants. The
first one was captured when half grown.
It was feeding with four grown ele
phants, all of which were shot, and
then the little one. Instead of running
away, made for the hunters, two of
whom seized its tail, while the two oth
ers hung on to each ear. and there was
a tussle for half an hour, after which
the elephant was rolled on Its back
nnd its feet tied with the horses’ rein«.
It was then fastened to a tree, and the
next flay driven Into camp. After a
day or two it became so docile that fta
attentions were rather a nuisance, for
it tried to tread on the hunters' toes,
helped Itself to all the available food,
and would put Its trunk Into the cook
ing pots and take out anything It fan
cied. while It would follow the natives
down to the stream for a drink.
On the record day twenty elephants
were shot and two little ones captured:
Vlljoen’s unaided efforts accounted for
eighteen of the twenty slain. These two
elephants speedily became docile, and
cow that all the captives ars In a
proper kraal they have become quits

and are both playful and frlendly.-
