called to the lion which, on hearing his
masters voice, sprang forward to the
length OF the chain and over some electric
wires. A shower of sparks quickly followed
at the contact of the chain with the wires
The lion received a shock and again jumped
towards Fitzsimmons, who sprang back
against the wall OF adjoining building.
The lion sprang past him, drawing the

his agony the lion leaped over the edge OF
the roof and hung by his neck. Fftzsim-
