Come MP cloaer. Now, let mo tell 20 u
something. | have been thinking for n
long timo that ! should like to force my
spirit ont of this cage into tho body Of
soms poor abused mali other words. to
drive this abbit out Of him and take its

Gracious alivol". said the editor; "its
tho very thing ~: been PRAYING for. But
II think so. / viii lie down here and you
must get around at the end Of tho cage and
gnze into my eyes, and no matter how you

Bradsley stepped around to the end Of the
cage, and began to gaze into tho lion'ss yes.
Suddenly he felt n sense of extreme fri ght,
and he would have run way had he no / re-
membered what the lion had told him. Sud
denly a huttering excitement arose In his
bosom and then- Bradsley could sea rcely
believe it-he knew that he was y lion, and
he wondered how it was TINT no could ever
have been afraid Of ANYTHING. He tur ned
away from the cage Of the dead lion, full of
reven &c; and seeing ono OF the Taylors in
the crowd, he walked up, tapped him on the
shoulder, and said:
II want to sec you a moment"
The Taylor looked round, and seeing
Iiradsley. began to tremble. Bradley took
him by the ear, conducted him to the door
of the tent and kicked him ont. He re-
turned to the crowd and saw two Of tho
Graysons. He walked up to them and
said:
II have business with both Of you. Come
with me-"
ON of tho Graysons answered.: go
away or l will shoot YOU"
The editor laughed. 1t was the first time

"He didn't saw. sir.o

he GlCnt say, slf.
Nov I've got this to look forward to-"
said the editor as he went the sanctum.
II am getting almost afraid to go to the
rostotics. l am thoroughly convinced
that | am ! rabbit. Look at my ears, and
look at the fact that l could never eat rab-
bit. See how | am frightened when / hear
n dog bark. Now If / could only be a dog
anything but a rabbit. I think, though,
the lion would suit me better. When that
SHOW comes I'm going to see if I can't do
something. I'm going to study tina lion
anyway. That last slapping | got made me
az drowsy as n frost bitten chicken. I'll sit
down here awhile and wait until that fellow
Bradshaw comes back. am afraid to 90
out. Pvs got to work all night and l can't
sleep to- for | want to SEQ the show,
] reckon l might az we'll get as much work
done az possible before Bradshaw does come.
John he called, entering the composing
room, we've got to pull out if We expect to
see that show. We'd better put the forms
on the press right now"
The shadows on the PUBLIC square grow
long, the court house bell tolled the hour OF
six, and yet Bradshaw did not come. On
they worked, the long-abussd editor and
the eager boy. They lighted tho lamps and
continued to make the old hand press groan.
Daylight came and the work was completed.
Tho editor scarcely knew how he passed the
early morning, but suddenly he found him
self looking Mt the circus parade. what
III immense hon., ne thought, looking into
cage. II shall cultivate you, old fellow"
He WAS eager for the doors 70 BIO opened,
and when he was finally able to shove his
way in he went at once to the lions cage
and stood there. No other animal had any
attraction for him. Suddenly the lion gave
him a peculiar wink, and instantly Brndsley
felt a strange thrill. He was almost alone,
the crowd having PASSED on to the cage OF
monkeys.
II should like to know what no meant by
that wink" said the editor.
Come up closer and l will tell you" the
lion answered..
Bradsley sprang back in alarm, but soon
recovering himself, no approached tho

that any one had ever threatened to shoot
him.
"Touch your pistol" said Bradsley,
me, ! tell YOU"
They trsmblingly followed him, and
conducting them to the outside of the tent
he kicked them into the street.

The news OF my bravery and revenge must
ba spreading. What's that crowd OF people
doing yonder?" he asked of a hurrying
man.
"a fellow has Just shot a man, and swears
that no person shall arrest him."
we'll see about that" said the editor,
Fastening onward. The murderer a power
full fellow, stood in the corner Of a lot with
a shotgun in his hand. Without uttsring
a word. the editor leaped over the fence and
advanced upon the wretch. The murderer
raised his gun and fred.
Bardsley sprang to bis feet. The Office
boy was pounding on the door. He had
dropped off to sleep just after entering the
"sanctum" n had been dreaming.
What's the matter?" Bradsley ex-
claimed.
"Mr. Bradshaw is coming up the front

Ea"As Pm only a rabbit" said the editor,

He is still running his little paper, and l
noticed the other day that in his latest issue
he had been indiscreetlv drawn into saying
