The ser- | veant explained to him. He was the person whose home had been robbed. He was greatly pleased to recover the ring, valuing it greatly as an old family heirloom. The sergeant se- cured a perfect description of the swindler from Alvin, Mr. Seward, the man who had been robbed, insisted on taking Alvin home with him. The next day the swindler was arrested, and the re- mainder of the plunder was recovered at pawn shops. When Alvin left the city, he carried a present of one hundred dollars from Mr. Seward. The latter was much intercsted in his story. He told Alvin that whenever a good business | chance came up he would finance him Alvin never needed that co-opera- tlon.

A man came limping up to him, sat down, and moved about so helplessly and in such apparent pain, that Alvin noticed him sympathizingly. “Are you ill?" finally inquired Alvin, feeling pity for anyone in trouble. “Worse than that,” said the man with a groan. “I'm going to a hos- pital this afternoon.

Yet this is what' the people of Korodofan in the Sou- ! dan do with the tree which the bonn- ists call “Adansonia Digitata.” The tree, which is known to the na- tives by the name of “Home,” groups ' being called “Tebeldi,” attains a consid- | erable height. The trunk, which measures from 20 to 30 feet in circum- terence, is, like so many of the bam- boo family, hollow, and the natives have discovered that it makes an ex- cellent cistern for storing water, for the arid season. Should the cavity not be large enough the natives scoop it out still further. The Soudanese have also a method of cutting the opening for the reception of the wa- ter just at the top of the trunk where the branches begin, so that during the rainfall the great off-shoots of the tree act as gutters and guide the water into the trunk. At the same time pools are dug at the foot of the tree to col- lect the rain and from these are wa- ter is transferred to the trunk by buckets. Sometimes, though rarely, the tree cracks under the weight of the water, after which the trunk is of little use. However, the natives have found that cracks can be successfully stopped with cement, and recently a CARPENTERS Fi number of broken-down trees have T ST been thus repaired.
