Four full feet high at the shoulder, Clayton instinctively calcu- lated. It couldn't he—there were no wolves in Florida—yet the beast was a wolf, more gigantic than any he had over seen except in Siberia. Without moving his body, Clayton extended his hand for the rifle, which on the chance of an alligator, had been placed on brackets against the cabin wall. As he touched the weapon, the strange beast whirled abent and dis- appeared. Clayton rubbed his eyes. It was twenty feet from where the beast had stood to cover dense enough to hide it; he had not taken his eyes from it; he could have sworn that it had not covered the intervening spaee, yet it was gone. - "Pin seeing things," Clayton de- clared aloud and laughed a little, but 5 - OW Country Papers Dave us sena yours weekly or fort- nightly.

We love little children, be lose it is so easy for us to build our homes in them. The only trouble is that most of them die before we are able to rear a family of creditable size.

To produce a diamond in the rough coats approximately $7 a karat, accord- ing to estimates of various students of the diamond industry. If this diamond, properly cut, were sold at $30, it would net a good profit. In the South African mines, it is said, the diamonds are dis- tributed so evenly that 100 tons of the bluish clay yields about 100 karats of diamonds, The production cost of a five -karat diamond is $85. If it is flaw- less and of good water it will easily net $3,500. The supply of diamonds is unlimited. Almost all of the would's supply comes from South Africa, and complete control of it is in the hands of one British concern. --e Mlnard's Liniment For Burns, Etc It .is difficult forP arenta to under- stand oder stand where their Children got their bad traits.

Co into Hatton Garden any time be- tween 10 and 4, except Saturdays and Sundays, and you will meet men carrying in the aggregate anything from half a ]pillion to, a million pounds' worth of diamonds, says a London writer, These men are dealers in diamonds and their market is provided by the doorways and pavements of Hatton Garden and another thoroughfare, Charles street, which runs 'tt right angles to it and parallel with Holborn, London. Looking at many of the men, you would not think they were worth a dime. Nearly all are Russians. Many have long, shaggy beards and longer and shabby overcoats. Yet in honesty they must contribute to the ineome tax. They buy and sell parcels of dia- monds, loose diamonds wrapped in white tissue paper and of a wondrous lustre.
