A live hy?na of the desert?an anl* lal expert In bunting for all dead lings?has been employed to Had tLe rlest's body. The dlsapp aranoe of She Abbe Dalrue was e rtalnly a < astonishing afilr.

He left hardly a trao* of anyling that ooald point to the oause of Is disappearance The Abbe was an extremely popular ian In his parish. He et j )yed a good loome. He was in exedient health :.d spirits. He had Just been planng a visit to his mother in Paris, here was no dlsooverable reason wl y i should have committed suicide or )luntarlly run away. He had, however, 725 frsncs in oney on his person when he disap wired, and the most obvious course is i suppose that he was murdered for le sake of this money. Whatever be the truth, It Is at esent wrapped In mystery. The Abbe Delarue left the town of iampes at about 8 o'clock In the enlng, riding his bioycle He was turning to his parish. At five minxes past nine he was seen rapidly ilng along the road by a locksmith ring at the farm of Longuptoise. a *>? ftiwm hv . nfl or two oihar oar as just before this time, but ne\er :ain. Af&er his disappearance the polios E jampes, a sleepy couatry town, owed great negligence in investigatg the oase. Tbts fact, togeiher with any other rematktble circumstances cused the attention of the ParlsiaD iwspapera and they began to invest: ,te with extraordinary enthusiasm id ingenuity. Trie Matin was the first newspaper begin operations. Two member itB staff went to the spot and spent oney lavishly la emplo. log looa' archers. ftnnntrs whnrn thA A hhfl w&h at is marked by Borne remarkable lysioal formations. It contains mary ponds of great extent and also eat beds of loose sand known u lab! teres." Both tbe ponds and the sand beds ould offer a very favorable hiding ace for a dead body.

Tne Matlo offereJ a reward of 1,000 wo-; for Its discovery and also en iged a foroe of sixty beaters at da) ages to searoh the country for the >dy. The first discovery they made as the broad brimmed hat of the rlest, which was found in a field off le roadside, torn and soaked wltb ud Then the Pa trie of Paris entered ito the oontest with a Hindu fakii imed Eavah.

On the seoond da; Is Intuition led him Into a wood tff hollow unfrequented road leading tt tie Chateau de Vatooy. Here he made the first Important lsoovery of the searoh?the p.lest't lcycle. It Is generally assumed tha tie murderer bad hidden It there af sr killing him. At abouG tnia time many newspap rs appeared on the soene with ocouii iperts, among them being the MagUb lIvIs, Madame Flaubert), who, although of Freoeh birth, hai spent i&nj years absoiblng the mysteries of the Orient, and Professor Devas. Then the Matin thought of an abso lu ely novel, if rather grewsome, method of bunting down the oorpse. k It decidad to employ a hyena In the . ' setr>h, and arranged with the famous ' lion tamer P z)n to obtain the use of lis largest and ugliest hyena, named Carlos. This animal tt the most repulsive and disgusting in existence. . He lives excluslvelj upon carrion ar d the dead body of a man has for him a greater attraotlon than any other , kind of food. The hyena Uvea in holes ^ and caves during the day time ard only hunts his food by night. He then utters bloodourdling shrieks and fiendish laughter, whloh when heard In the desert amid scenes of the wilde't description call up In the lmtglrs tlon of the traveler the forms of spec tr&l ghouls, searohlng for their unnat oral feasts. , The hyena Is of hideous appearance 1 He has a coat of dirty yellow, marked a with spots and usually covered wltb i sores due to rubbing against rooks and >] spattered with remnants of his dis gustlng food. He stands very hlorb at the sbouiders and his head hangs " aown nil Dis nose vouooes iue grbuaa n He always slinks along sideways with a til% head near the ground and never b comes straight toward any man or animal. All these peculiarities give r him ao Indescribably moan, sneakiug 1; and cowardly appearance. b Tue hyena Is famished with non* e retractile claws of suoh tremendous o scratching power that he can dig down a into the deepest grave and rob It of s Its oocupant. In oountrles where hy- li enas abouod only the heaviest rooks will protect the bodies of the dead b from their dutches. It was for this s< reason that ancient Egyptian and oth- H er Oriental kings were burled In rock b tombs. b The hyena also has teeth and jaws I of fimh strength that he can bite ti through the bones of the largest anl <* mals. His physical powers would ti make him a dangerous foe, if he pos p -.esssd the least cou-age, but he has ii not the spirit to attack any living animal. He only wars with the dead o: Carlos, the great hyena was brought ti to the place where the Abbe's bloyole tt ?as found. The grewsomt work be- h gan at midnight. Carlos will only 1 work at night.

He was brought to the soene ei in a condition of sem'-Btarvailon in p order to ma e him keen for the hunt, g From the first It was evident that g the search would be a long and tedi- h oas one.

From time to time he ai dug up he body of a field m mse or tt some other small animal, suon as one 01 may find In civilized Eorope.

He ut- si faered many loud peals of unusually tt fiendish laughter and ran straight to so a spot where he began to dig Into the oc earth with tremendous fury. His fx trainer felt sure that be had at last round the body and this Impression in was ooLfirmed when, after digging of :own some three feet, a quantity of ct oones was unearthed.
