eye, with wealth of brown hair. The

How completely questions OF cour-

by q story which a returning .trav.

had with them some Cages Of wild
beasts, had Teen giving un exhibi.
tiOn, he heard sounds Of distress,
terror aud pain issuing from u tent
His trst thought was that some Quo
was being torn t. pieces by infurlated
animals, and thinking that no might
render assistance, he entered the
tent.
There he was astonished tn see q
man In u fantastic garb, his legs
clad In long hose. being beaten over
the shoulders by woman, who held
aim by ono arm. He was struggling Y
hard to get away.
At ono side of tho tent was Q cage
containing two large and ferOcious.
looking lions which were snarling
and threatening and lashing their
tails as they witnessed the fray be-.
tween the man and the woman.
'Take that, you wretch, and that,
and that" screamed the woman,
striking the man again and again
with q whip.
The man howled with pain and
terror, and then succeeded In break.
ing away from the woman. lie
rushed straight for the lions caae,
with her after him; he reached the
door first opened 1t, sprang in, and
curled up between the two lions.
At tho cage door tho woman
stopped. 1t was evident that she

man assumed an erect posture and
q defiant attitude.
