human target
II was present ut the first trial, and I
never saw man look so happy as Juan
did when he stood before the target and
faced Pat, who had his hands full of the
Misunderstanding knives. When tho
first steel blade went whining through
the air Juan smiled slightly, but other
wise did not move muscle. The BLAZE
struck just over his head, md carried
some of his hair with it into tho board.
Then came two more knives, one strik-
ing on each side of his neck, so close
that light could not be seen between him
and the steel. knife after knife Pat
threw until Juan was literally fenced in
with them and could not movc until
they were withdrawn.
"Thon Pat Lnncy became Palanci,
the grent Roman fc-thrower, and
was billed to appear for the first time
in America Mt Peoria. He did appear,
proud and delighted, but no moro so
than Juan, who stood looking him In
the face as each shining blade glittered
In tho DIR, and entered the board within
hnir's-breadth Of the human mark.
Though the audience was perceptibly
affected as each knife was making its
journey, Juan never WINGED. This
would have been remarkable In any
one, but was particularly so In man
who appeared nervous OF oil other times.

employed by the first circus that 1 be-
longed to, and his business was to su-
perintend the erection and removal of
the soats. But Pat was ambitious to
become performer, and several timos
went into training but succeeded only
IN making his companions laugh ut his
repeated failures. He began too late
in lifo TO trim his muscles for the ac-
complishmcnt of difficult tents, and,
though he tried tumbling, riding, leap
ing, turning, and almost every thing
that he could think of, the result was
only lameness, which occasionally kept
him idle for few days. After many
disappointments Pat Ind n bright

The lSnife-throwing net was n novelty
then. and proved to be good card for
the show. Pat continued to improve in
skill, and Juan was always perfectly
willing that he should attempt any new
feat, no matter how dangerous 1t might
be. In fnct, the more dangerous the
better Juan appcnred to enjoy 1t. He
was always anxious for n performance,

Sad was when one had closed
After the knife-throwing net had
been going on for couple of weeks,
and we had crossed the river into Iowa,
Juan came to me and said: DO you
