sned. He felt that he was indeed alone.
His glance sank and fell upon the black
noness. He wiped the blOod of the
blade Of his glad:us and waited No
long did ho wait. for with Q mighty,
resoundjng roar she tore from the cage
into the center Of the arena. The door
had been suddenly flung open.
She paused, turning her head and
shifting the air. Tarpus walked straight
toward her. Suddenly she noticed him,
and she bounded, roaring, almost to his
side She crouched for final spring,
and Tarpus, sinking on one knee, and
with gladius ready, prepared to fight to
the death. The vast crowd was hushed,
awaiting breathlessly the instant when
the brute and the man would meet in
the death struggle.
But here occurred q thing inexplica-
BILE.
As the eyes of the lioness and the man
met both paused suddenly and remained
as If transfixed, the man kneeling the
lioness crouching.
What had happened? Why did size not
obey the prompting Of her instinct to
rend him asunder? Did some subtle,
sudden power stay her? What spell was
working? What was the bond that bound
this man and beast? Gould it be that
they were kindred souls, who were once
together, and who recognized each other?
Who could tell?
But whatever the spell or bond it had
a strange effect upon Tarpus, for he,
with look in his face indescribable,
stood upright, and laying his hand upon
the ioness walked over with her to the
place where Nero sat and insulted and
reviled him. Then he became frenzied,
and called loudly for the Romans to
come and kill him-the lioness roaring
the while.
All were amazed and terrified. Sure
ly weird, nameless happening! Their
hearts were cold with fear.
And archers were ordered out.
They killed the gladiator and the lion
ess with their arrows.
A party Of French soldiers, who were
stationed at post in the interior Of AL
geria, came across a man uninjured, but
lying senseless in the sand. An immense
rifle lay by his side. It was Karl-Bart
Kennedy in London Sun.

RESURRECTION.

Tho tenirils of the Ivy bl!ndly cling.
Stretching their brown threads toward the

OF rushing winds, they hang till sos. airs sing
We who love life fear most the mystic death,
Yet we in death the saifsame life shall live
This very life we kncw.-but glorified.

Shall simply take the glory seraphs give,
Renew its joys and soy, IL have not died."

Holmes as the Autocrat.

Colonel Higginson said recently in an
address in Cambridge on DR.. Holmes
that, although it was commonly sup
posed "The Autocrat" was a success
from the outset, yet in his opinion its
fate was evenly balanced for month or
two. Mr.. Underwood. who was then
assistant editor of The Atlantic and had
q large share in its conduct, Thought
that the work would be either great
success or great failure and consulted
Colonel Higginson with some anxiety.
He feared that DR.. Holmes outspoken
sayings might be looked upon as conceit-
cd. But the matter was not long left in
doubt. Springfield Mass Republican.

The Fats In the Fire.

"The fats in the fire, I" indicating
that an enterprise has suffered disaster,
Is found in very old English times. The
metaphor is, of course, drawn from the
,ight, familiar enough at hog killing
time, of lard beng melted from the fat
portions Of the carcass, the ups psetting of
the vessel causing the loss Of the melted
fat. BY o figure of speech, fat is sup
posed to indicate good luck or wealth,
and the "fat's in the fire" was synony-
nous with the failure Of q promising en-.
;erprise.

Pronunciation Of ..Bicycle."

The constantly growing bicycle fad
calls attention to the large number of
cases of mispronunciation of the word
"bicycle. y There is certain class of
people, particularly New York's fash
ionable set, which insists upon giving
the ~" a long sound, as in "cycle,"
forgetting that a prefix or suffix often
changes the sound of the vowel "y. I"
Still others 60 to the other extreme and
give the ~" the sound Of zee, but the
best usage makes the "y' short and
pronounces the word "bi-sik-l." But
even among those who give the ~" the
short sound there is a disposition to
place the accent ON the second syllable
instead of on the first, where it belongs.
When word comes into such common
use as bicycle" it is we'll to learn to
pronounce it correctly. Troy Times
