A Lion Story.

Some time ago, in Tunis, a Siciian
athlete Of Rinaldo's circus excited gen.
eral admiration by his manly beauty
and feats Of strength. He was in the
habit Of overcoming a Ion during the
performance, which. however, was
trained to succumb. The Bey of Tunis,
hearing Of this, sent him an offer Of
thousand ducats if he would kill lion
which he possessed. The proposal was
accepted, aud on the day appointed the
Bey and a large company gathered
around the pit where the lion was kept.
The beast had been there three days
without food, and was furious. The
iron door Of the pit opened but instead
OF the athlete, trembling dog was
thrown forward, which timidly took
refuge in a corner. The lion, who was
at distance, turned in surprise at the
humble intruder. His tail ceased to
lash his side, his roars ceased, and he
sat, with paws extended, contemplate
ing his victim. Propelling himself for
ward upon his belly, he finally made
spring. The dog, however. who had
watched him with a vigilant eye,
sprang in the opposite direction. The
lien seemed astonished at missing his
prey, but after rolling over few
times made another jump, which was
also avoided. Pity for the dog induc-
ed the Bey to order cord to be low.
cred for him, aud while the lion was
gyrating preparatory to renewed
spring, the dog intelligently seized the
cord with his teeth and was drawn up.
AS he ascended the lion sprang again,
but was too late. AT this moment the
Sirilian appeared, calm and fearless.
He was in rich circus costume, and
carried heavy mace. He took his
position in the same corner previous
ly occupied by the dog. At first the
lion did not perceive him; but, on
turning, his eye. expressed a vague in
quietude.
He slowly withdrew a few steps,
watching his enemy with furtive and
sidelong glance. The Sicilian, on the
| contrary, looked straight in his eye
and watched every movement. The lion
evidently had misgivings, but, impell-
ed by hunger, sprang upon the man
with a terrible roar. The Sicilian slip.
ped aside with agility, and, before the
paws Of the lion touched the ground a
violent blow from the mace upon the
head laid him insensible. The mace
was raised for the death blow, when
.the Bey interposeG. He offered the
man another thousand for the life of
the beast. 1t was accepted, and the
lion was allowed to recover.
