For this reason I object to Mr. Jack llivcrcrton courting my daughter." That evening, in the qniot twilight interval between tea and eronnet, Eva took occasion to Convey to Mr. Riverton a warning hint of what her father expected of them in the futnre.

"No. Jack, "she soid, with n gentle Armncw), in reply to his excited remarks, "you must not speak to papa at present. It would only make matters worse while he is in this mood. Wo ran do nothing but wait and see if in timo ho won't yield to more reasonable impressions." "In time!" repeated Jack, impatiently. "Why, Evio, ho don't cliango hi" views on any subject within live years' time." "Well," she said, with a sigh, "7 suppose we shall have io wait, even il it is as long as that." Ono day the squire, returning from bis morning ride, found his daughter and liis sister seated in the pleasant little sitting-room opening upon the garden. Eva's white lingers were deftly fashioning some rose-colored ribbons into dainty knots and loops. "What are those for?' her father inquired, as he seated himself in his own hig arm-chair and unfolded his paper while glancing admiringly at the silken i tnIT. "To wear at the lawn party this evening, pupa. And you will go with us, of course?" "A lawn party? Ah, I had forgotten ! Well, whero is it to bo?at the Lyons'?" "At tlio Rivertons'," Miss Maddox said. Ho scowled as ho roughly shook out his paper. "I don't wish to interfere with your pleasures or enjoyments, Eva," he said, "but I woulcl rather that you should not go thin party at the Riverains'." 8ho know that when her father expressed a wish, it was intended an a command, and her hands dropped listlessly into hor lap, crushing the criap ribboiia. Teara forced them aolvca between tho long laahea, and alio presently roso and quietly left tht room. Then Miaa Maddock looked up fron her own work, and there was some thing linuaual in hor expression. "Archibald," she said, gravely, "i liavo something to say to you. 1 would warn you not to carry thif matter too far, nor to be too ban upon Eva and Jack Riverton, lest you drivo her into open disobedience and even an elopemeut." "An elopement!" His sister took from the little work box which Eva had left on tho tablo f folded letter. "I found this hero, just whero yoi aee that she keepa it.

It is seven and a half feet long and weighs 158 pounds. At the thickest part it is about six inches through. The mate to 1 it, which is a little lighter, is in the museum at ('ape Town. There is an elephant tusk larger than this, be* longing to the King of Hinin, but it is not so heavy. 1 The elephant who carried these monstrous tusks -- more than 800 i pounds of ivory, or twice the weight of an average man?was killed in the Zambesi country, South Africa, some ^rears ago. Ho was about fourteen feci high and waa a genuine king of the forest who would have dwarfed Jumbo himself.

Of tUeHO grOUl ftniinuiH HUM nroi digious si not: the Arabs and other i traders have huIiI lirrnch-loiulifiK rifles | to the tribe# throughout Africa, that i many fear their speedy extcrmiiiatioii. | However, Robert Lee, who is ouo of i the men in charge of the Capo Colony I exhibit, and who haw traveled much in | the elephant country, thiukH that the ' great beast will hold on for many gen- i cratioiiH yet. Africa iH ho vast, many regions are ho ditlicult of acccHK, and < the elephant 1h ho tenaciou.s of life, he says, that man cannot kill all his tribe aH he Iiiih slaughtered the buffalo in America. "Elephant hunting in extremely dangerous," naiil Mr. Lee. "I know of no other sport in which the hunter in ho liable, to become the hunted. I am not a HportHinnn myHelf, and 1 have never tried to kill an elephant, but 1 wuh once with ot horn who thought they would lu'complinh Hiich a feat. "In 18H7 I accompanied Colonel Cnrrington's expedition into the country north of the Tranavaal. While riding along through 1111 open* country wo Haw 11 herd of elephants. t think there were about twenty of them. We came clone enough for a allot. The Colonel called for bin elephant gun | and blazed away at theelephantH. I11, staidly the whole herd darted toward . uh. trumpeting fiercely and really I prcHenting a moot terrifyiug appearl anee. N0110 of us paused for another shot, but turned our horses mid gal, loped away as fast as we could, the elephantH in lull chase. So far as we knew, the Colonel's bullet had missed [ entirely. "My hor?o was not an especially good one, and f brought up the rear of that living column. An elephant, de ' spite his awkward appearance, eau run I very f?Ht, un?l I began to think ?>f my sins. My horse stepped into a hoi*-, stumbled, foil and threw me over liin head. 1 wasn't much hurt, and I jumped to my feet instantly and seized 1 the horse's reins. The animal wasn't much hurt, either, and 1 got him to J his feet ami was on his back and off aguin in about fifteen seconds, I think. ' I don't know how close the olephuuts were to mo when I fell, for I never looked back, T overtook the rest of the 1 party, and when wo stopped tho elephants were to bo seen no longer, l'eoplo who are fond of a chase with ' plenty of danger in it should hunt the elephant. I don't euro for it myself." Mr. fioo says ho has seen many herds of elephants along the Zambesi River, and they are still inoro plentiful further ; north. Though Capo Colony has boon settled about as long as the United States, there are still some elephants Is in a portion of its mountainous region, known as the Knvsai country. They j are supposed to be about live hundred in number, and protected by tho Gov eminent. Klophants are said to grow larger >fl Houth of the Zambesi than north of it.
