While, as we have seen, .the .saiety of
industrial bondsvaries very, considerably
from the highly speoulai,tive—in the ease
of mining companies—to the, relatively,
very conservative, where the value of
land ,equals or exceeds the amount of
the bond issue, the rate of income does
not, as a rule, vary greatly. Of course.

has "seen did not contemplate ,such a' Boge
return' on bonds). Outside of this, we
may well hope, unique instance, the return
varies about al that on inunieipals with
the very. -important , difference, that the
basis of comparison is. abouta point

This constitutes one ."of the chief ad-

second point in favor of ''Tnduatri•

is their marketrbility:' Not allin-
dustrial bonds ;possess this advantage,
and to,' some degree at least it depends
on the policy of the issuing house. As'a
rule, however, . an issue which could be.
reoomnsended to a caroful investor
would possess , the very distinct advant-
age of, `being'. readily marketable., On
the Other •hand, nnany very well ;secur•
ed and ' otherwise desirable industrial
bends .are. difhcnit to' market:' It is im-
portant, therefore, to decide beforehand
whether marketability, is a feature to be
pntfticularly desired before deciding , on
an investment.

My, 'trackers got the trail in the

in the evening, when he would be
feeding. We found him at four
o'elook. The first intimation
that I had of his presence was a
short rush through a patch of thick
scrub. Both trackers took .to
trees, and I saw nothing more of
them till the elephant was killed.
I had gone into the patch a dis-
tance' of. Perhaps two hundred.
yards when, with a fiendish scream,
the elephant 'charged at my order-

was all but on me. He slid for a

The next instant he wheeled and

had just time to slip in another
cartridge and give it to him in the
ear as he vanished. • After wait-
ing a few moments to compose my
nerves, I explained matters to Al
rah Din, my orderly, who was new,
;to the game, but full of pluck..
' I knew . tke rogue .would not go
far, but would wait for us, in the
nastiest bit of jungle that he could
find. If I led, tracking, there was
every chance of. the elephant tak-
ing us unawares and getting, "a

over." Allah Din was game to do
the: tracking—too game, • in fact;

After going :some three hundred
yards, he stopped and held up his
hand. Listening intently, I could
hear the rogue ahead of us, kick.' l

that he was badly wounded, and
bent on mischief. At tnat 'mom-' n

him constant pain, and turns him
from ,an inoffensive beast into a
