How They Capture Hyena*.
The following mode of tying hyena* in
their den*, as practiced in Afghanistan,
is given by Arthur Connolly in his Over
land Journal, in the words of an Afghan
chief, the Shirkaree Syud Daoud :
“ When you have tracked the beast to
his den, you take a rope with two slip
knots upon it in your right hand, and,
with your left holding a felt cloak before
you, you go boldly but quietly in. The
animal does not know the nature of the
danger, and therefore retires to the back
of liis den, but you may always tell
where his head is by the glare of his
eyes. You keep on moving gradually
toward him on your knees, and when
you are within distance throw the cloak
over liis head, close with him, and take
care lie does not free himself. The beast
is so frightened that he cowers back,
and, though he may bite the felt, lie can
not turn his neck round to hurt you; so
you quietly feel for his forelegs, slip the
knots over them, and then, with one
strong pull, draw them tight up to the
back of liis neck and tie them there.
The beast is now your own, and yon can
do wliat you like with him. We gener
ally take those we catch home to the
kraal, and hunt them on the plain with
bridles in their mouths, that our dogs
may be taught not to fear the brutes
when they meet them wild.”
Hyenas are also taken alive by the
Arabs by a very similar method, except
that a wooden gag is used instead of a
felt cloak. The similarity in the mode
of capture in two such distant countries
as are Algeria and Afghanistan, and by
two races so different, is remarkable.
From the fact that the Afghans consider
that the feat requires great presence of
mind, and no instance being given of a
man having died of a bite received in a
clumsy attempt, we may infer that the
Afghan hyena is more powerful or mere
ferocious than his African congener.
Waked Up In Time
To the fact that a want of tone in the sys
tem is the herald of approaching disease,
hosts of invalids have adopted that certain
means of self rescue from impending dan
ger, Hostetter’s Stoma h Bitters. This ben
ignant tonic promotes, in nr ordinary de
gree, digestion and assimilation, through
which the blood is fertilized and made
strength-yielding. Besides this, inactivity of
the liver, bowels and kidneys, which impede
a gain of vigor, is overcome. Appetite, as
well as the ability to gratify it without dis
comfort, is stimulated by this thorough
medicinal cordial, which also has a iran
quilizing effect upon nerves weak and un
quiet. Food, it should he remembered, only
half invigorates the dyspeptic. By the use
of the Bitters its nourishing properties are
made available. For malaria, rheumatism
and the infirmities of age, use the Bitters.
Not Quite.
Up in one of Michigan's thriving
counties lives a man tvho is about as re
gardful of a dollar or two as a man can
well be and be decent. He is a farmer
in comfortable circumstances, and be
ing thrifty, honest, industrious and a
bachelor he was considered quite the
catch of the neighborhood, notwith
standing his painful exactness in
money matters. He finally married a
widow worth in her own right $10,COO,
and shortly afterward a friend met
him. "Allow me,” he said, “to con
gratulate you. That marriage was
worth a clean $10,000 to you.” “No,”
he replied, "notquite that much.” “In
deed? I thought there was every cent
of $10,000 in it.” “Oh, no,” and he
sighed a little. “I had to pay $1 for
the marriage license.”—Detroit Free
Press.
Walter Baker & Co. of Dorchester. Mass.,

carried off the highest hdnors at the Mid

rules governing the Judges at the Fair,
states that “One hundred points entitles
the exhibit to a special award, or Diploma
of Honor.” The scale, however, is placed
60 high, they say “that it will be attained
only in most exceptional cases." All of
Wa.ter Baker & Co.'s goods received one

THE MERCHANT’S CRIME.
BY HORATIO ALGER, JR
CHAPTER XV—Continued.
“I love her, Mr. Manton. Let her
marry me,” exploded Cromwell, ner
vously.
“Really, you surprise me,” said
Mr. Manton. “You wish to marry
Clara?”
“I should consider myself the most
fortunate of men if I could win her
as my wife,” said Cromwell, who
talked more freely than usual under
the influence of the tender passion.
“It is an important matter,” said
Mr. Manton, slowly, “giving away
the hand of an only daughter in mar
riage.”
‘T will do my utmost to make her
happy,” said the enamored lover.
••1 have no doubt of it. To be sure
I have not known you long: but 1
have formed quite a favorable opin
ion of you from our brief acquaint
ance. ”
This was hardly true, for Mr. Man
ton hud designated James Cromwell
as an awkward booby in familiar
conversation with his daughter, and
she had assented to the justice of
the epithetr.
“Thank you, sir,” said Cromwell;
may 1 then hope for your consent to
my suit?”
“Why, you see, Mr. Cromwell,”
said Mr. Manton, throwing one leg
over the other, “there are several
things to be taken into considera
tion besides the personal character
of the nusband. For iustance—1
hope you won’t think me mercenary
—but I want to make sure that you
are able to support her in comfort,
so that she need not be compelled to
endure any of the privations of pov
erty.”
“I have a good business,” said
Cromwell, "which is sure to bring
me in a good income.”
“Do you own your shop and stock
up clear of incumbrance? Is it ail
paid for?
“Yes, sir.”
“That is well—for a beginning.
Now what property have you be
sides?”
“Why,” said Cromwell, “I make
about $500 clear from my ward,
Robert Raymond.
“indeed! That is handsome. Still,
he is likely to be taken from you.”
“I don’t think he wilL”
“Still, it is not a certainty. It is
not equal to property producing this
amount of annual income.”
••No, sir, but—”
••Hear me out. there is notning
so substantial as property invested
well. A good income is a good
thing, but if it comes from anything
else it is not sure. Now 1 will tell
you what my intentions have been
when anyone applied to me for my
daughter’s hand, though I did not
expect the occasion would come so
soon. I meant to say, that is, pro
vided the party was otherwise suit
able, ‘Are you ready to settle $5,030
on my daughter on her wedding day,
and will you still have an ehual sum
left?’ That is the question I meant
to ask. and I will ask it now of you.’’
He leaned back in his rocking
chair as he spoke, and fixed a glance
of inquiry on James Cromwell. He
hoped that the young man would be
able to answer in the affirmative, for
if Clara could be well married, he
would have his income entirely to
i himself and he had made up his
; mind in that case to go to Europe on
! a pleasure trip. This he could
do without breaking in upon his
principal if he went alone: but as
long as Clara remained unmarried,
! he knew that he should be expe ted
j to take her with him. and this would
I involve more expense than he was
willing to incur.
James Cromwell was taken aback
by this unexpected difficulty.
••I am afraid my means are not
sufficient to admit of my doing this,
just yet,’" said Cromwell, reluctantly;
but just as soon as Z am able I will
agree to make the settlement you
propose. ”
Mr. Manton shook his head.
‘•I am sorry,” he said, and here he
only told the truth, “that you are
not in a position to comply with ray
conditions, for they are indispensa
ble. You must not think me mer
cenary, but I don't believe in love in
a cottage! As for Clara, she is a
dear, unselfish girl, and she would
think me mercenary. She never
thinks of money, (I wish she didn't,
he mentally added.) and would as
soon marry a poor man ag a rich
man. But I want to guard he:
against the chances of fortune. So
I desire that five thousand dollars
should be settled upon herself, so
that if her husband should fail in
business, and you know such things
happen very often, she will have a
fund to fall back upon. I am sure
you will think I am reasonable in
this.”
••My business is a very safe one,
and the percentage of profit is large, ”
pleaded Cromwell, rather downcast:
“and I think there would be no dan
ger of that”
“Yes, of course, 3*011 think so.
Nobody thinks he is going to fail.
Hut disasters come to the best busi
ness men.”
“Then you insist upon your condi
tion, Mr. Manton,” said James Crom
well, in a tone of disappointment.
“I must,” said Mr. Manton with
suavity. “Of course, 1 am sorry to
disippolnt you. but then the happi
ness of my daughter is the lirst con
sideration with me.”
“Then,” said Cromwell, “1 may
toll you that, though I am not now
worth the sum to secure your con
sent, I have a relative who has me
down in his will for a legacy of ten
thousand dollars. I don’t think he
will live long. Within a few months
I may be wurth the required sum.”
“I hope you will. Mr. Cromwell,”
said Mr. Manton; “when that time
comej, come to me again with your
suit, and I will grant it, that is,
unless Clara has formed another at
tachment during that time.”
Cromwell winced at this sugges
tion, but he saw that he could ac
complish nothing more with the
father, and in rather an unsettled
frame of mind he took his leave.
CHAPTER XVI.
Love and Lucre.
When James Cromwell alluded to
the possibility of his receiving a leg
acy of ten thousand dollars at no dis
tant date, it will be understood at
once that he alluded to the sum
promised him by Paul Morton in the
event of the death of his ward. He
had endeavored to compass Robert's
death at Niagara Falls, but since his
failure there, he had let the matter
drop, partly from a timid fear of con
sequences. partly from the thought
that even without this sum he was
sure of a good income. Rut the un
expected condition proposed by Mr.
Manton again turned his thoughts
to the question of Robert’s death,
and its pecuniary advantage to him
self, and again our young hero was
menaced by a peril by no means in
significant.
Rut Cromwell’s timid nature
shrank from the audacity of the
crime which suggested itself to his
mind. Resides, though he was fas
cinated by Clara Manton, he was not
clear about settling so large a sum
as five thousand dollars upon her.
He would have done it if in his pow
er, rather than lose her, but if he
could obtain her on any easier terms
he thought that it would be better.
He decided, therefore, to see Clara
herself, to communicate to her her
father’s answer, and prevail upon
her, if possible, to marry him with
out her father's sanction.
Chance, as he thought, favored
him, for only a short distance from
the house he met Clara, herself. She
had left the house considerately, in
order to allow him an opportunity to
call upon her father, and was now
returning.
‘•Mr. Cromwell?” she said, with
affected surprise. “I supposed you
were in your shop. I fear you are
becoming inattentive to business.”
“I can’t attend to my business un
til one matter is decided” said Crom
well.
“What is that?”
“How can you ask? Clara, I have
just called upon your father. I ask
ed his permission to marry you.”
“What did he say?” inquired the
young lady.
“He toid me he would consent, on
certain conditions.”
“Certain conditions!” repeated
Clara, innocently. “What eonld
they be?”
“He said that I must prove to him
that I was worth ten thousand dol
lars, and must consent to settle half
that amount upon you.”
“I hope you don't blame papa. He
carries prudence to excess.”
“No, I don t blame him. It is
natural that he should wish to make
sure of his daughter's comfort.”
“And what did you say in reply?”
asked Clara, considerably interested.
“I told him that at present my cir
cumstances would not permit me to
comply with his conditions.”
“i nat s a pity.
“But that I was expecting a leg
acy from a near relative that may
possibly fall to me very soon, which
would remove every difficulty.”
“What did he say then?”
“That when I received the legacy
he would give me your hand, pro
vided you were still willing.”
The young lady cast her eyes upon
the ground, J- he did not th nk
much of waiting for deal men's
shoes, and doubted whether her
lover had any such relative as he
referred to In her own mind she
looked upon the matter as at an end:
and began to consider for who a she
had better angle next.
“What do yon say to that, Clara?”
asked Cromwell.
••I suppose it is fair,” she said.
“No: it is not fair,” he said, “to
make me wait so long. I have a
good income; I am careful, and not
extravagant, and I know 1 can sup
port you comfortably. Do not make
me wait. Tell me you will marry
me at once?”
“1 cannot disobey my father.”
said the young lady, who had ail at
once "become very dutiful.
“But do you think he has a right
to interfere with your happiness?”
“Perhaps not; but I have always
been taught to obey my father. 1
suppose he knows better than I what
I ought to do.”
“Surely, you are not afraid that I
should be unable t » support you
comfortably?” said Cromwell, re
proachfully.
“Oh, no.” answered Ciara. “I
never think of money. My fathe •
often tells me that I ought to think
more of it. As far as I am concerned,
I should never think of asking
whether you were worth $1,000 or
$ lo.ooa
“I am sure.” he pleaded, "that if
we were once married your father
would not object. The legacy 1 spoke
of is sure to come to me in a year or
two, for my relative is very old and
in very poor health, and there is no
fear of his changing his will.”
•T have no doubt what you say is
true,” said < lara though in her own
heart she had very serious doubts;
"but then it would not be very long
to wait a year or two. as the monev
will come to you then. ”
“A year or two!" repeated Crom
well. “It seems to mo like waiting
forever. ”
••I am afraid you have not the gift
of patience, Mr. Cromwell,” said
Clara, smiling archly.
“No; 1 have not in this case, for I
do not think there is any occasion
for waiting.”
“But my father thinks so. unfor
tunately. If you can succeed in per
suading him to the contra y you will
find me ready to do as you desire. ”
••Then you are determined to abide
by your father’s decision,” said
Cromwell, in accents of disappoint
ment.
“I must,” said Clara, mildly,
“however much my own heart suf
fers in consequence.'’ and she put on
the air of a victim of parental tyran
ny; “unless.'’she added, -I am able to
make my father regard it in a differ
ent light.”
“Promise me that you will try,”
said her lover, grasping her hand.
“J will do what I can.” she said.
“But really, I must go now. My
father will not know what has be
come of me.”
With a sweet smile, she left him.
and returned to the house. He
turned, and went back slowly to hi?
shop.
CHAPTER XVII.
A Dark Deed.
“There is no other way!” thought
James Cromwell, as fresh from his
interview with Clara, ho returned to
his shop. “The boy stands in my
way. His death will bring me money
and then that man will give me the
hand of the woman I love. There is
no other way. unless Clara prevails
upon her father to reeall his condi
tion.”
But another interview with the
young- lady in the evening.dissipated
any hope of tiiis nature which he may
have entertained. She reported that
her father was immovable on this
point, and that persuasion and en
treaty lial alike been in vain.
“I may soon bo able to comply
with your father's cond'tions,” said
Cromwell. “I have received a letter
to-day which informs me that the
party from whom I expect a legacy
is in very feeble health.”
“Perhaps there may be something
in his story,” thought Clara, and in
fluenced by the doubt, she smiled
graciously, and said: “Let us wait,
and hope that fortune may favor us.”
“Promise me one thing,” asked
Cromwell, “that you will wait for
me. and will not admit the atten
tions of anyone else?”
But this did not suit the plans of
the astute Clara. She by no means
wished to compromise her matrimon
ial chances by binding herself to an
uncertainty, and accordingly an
swered:
“I would willingly do so, Mr.
Cromwell, if papa wore willing, but
he has expressly forbidden me to
hind myself by any engagement, ot
make any promises. ”
James Cromwell’s countenance fell.
••After all,” she, added with a
| smile, “is anv promise necessary in
j our ease? Do we not understand one
i another?”
These words and the smile that ac
companied them, restored the cheer
fulness of her lover. He thought he
understood Clara Manton. but in this,
a; we know, he was egregiously mis
: taken.
The next morning ho received the
following note from Paul Morton. It
was the first he had received from
the merchant and was in reply to
one oF his own he had written from

Honesty Under Trying Circumstances.
During the war in Hesse in the year
1760, a Captain of dragoons was ordered
out with his troop to lorage for provis
ions. They reached a poor cabin and
knocked at the door. An old man with
a white beard appeared. “ Take me to
a fieid,” said the officer, “where I can
obtain forage for my troops.” “ Imme
diately, sir,” replied the old man. He
put himself at their head and ascended
the valley. After about half an. hour's
march a fine field of barley appeared.
“ This will do admirably,” said the offi
cer. “No,” said the old man ; “ wait a
little and all will be right.” They went
on again, until they reached another
field of barley. The troops dismounted,
mowed down the grain, and, trussing it
up in bundles, put them on their horses.
“ Friend,” said the officer, “how is it
that you have brought us so far ? The
first field of barley that we saw was
quite as good as this.” “ That is quite
true,” said the peasant, “ but it was not
mine! ” _
