age and crept in little rivulets along the
ground.
The remainder of the night was pass

At last morning dawned, cold, wet
and cherries, and Platoff, with few
words of encouragement, led his COM
panions off in single file.
Realizing the increased dangers that
now surrounded them, he observed ev-
cry possible precaution, seeking out the
deepest part Of the forest and keeping
in the shelter of trees and stones. 1t
rained steadily all the morning, and
with wet clothes and empty stomachs
the fugitives felt miserable indeed. AT
noon, as they were ascending steep,
wooded ridge, the sky frightened visi-
bly,, and Platoff, who had reached the
summit at that moment in advance of
the rest, shouted with JOY and waved
his hands in the air. His companions,
with fast beating hearts, hurried TO the
spot.
Maurice was ahead, and as he gained

saw spread before his eyes the scene

The tiger was still paving away
with undiminished energy, and even
now the cavity thus made seemed to
Maurice's eyes fully large enough to
admit the brute's head and shoulders.
Still, although in the very jaws of
DEATH as it were, he hesitated to fire.
Then he remembered that, with one
single spring, the tiger could reach
him, and in sudden terror he pointed
the revolver full at the savage eyes.
His finger was already pressing the
trigger when an inspiration flashed
into his mind that changed the whole
course Of events.
"The pepper!" he exclaimed aloud.
"Ill try it, D" And, lowering the weapon,
he thrust his hand into his coat pocket.
1t SO happened that among the pro-
visions provided by the starosta had
been small bottle of red pepper.
Platoff, with the Russian fondness
for fiery dishes, made frequent use of
this on nearly everything he ate, and
that very morning, having forgotten it
when they left their camping place,
Maurice had picked it up and put it in
bis own pocket. Now he suddenly re-
membered it. He gave a sigh of relief
when his fingers closed on the bottle,
and, drawing it out, he pulled the cork
with his teeth.
The tiger suddenly suspended opera
tons and blew the dirt off his whiskers.
Now was the critical moment. Reach
ing out his arm, Maurice dashed half
the contents of the bottle into the
brute'S very eyes.
The effect exceeded his highest an.
tcipations. Sneezing and snarling in
one breath, the tiger sprang away from
the crevice and rolled in agony on the
ground, completely overcome by the
pungent dust.
Maurice held the bottle in readiness

the miniature specimens of humanity

dwarfs have been dealt with, including
two or three examples of the fair and

A Curious Wooden Watch.

The most curious timekeeper, per.
maps, that has ever been made in this
country was the work of one Victor
Doriot, who lived at Bristol, Tenn,
about twenty years ago. This oddity
was nothing or less than a
wooden watch. The case was made of
briar root and the inside works, ex-
cept three of the main wheels and the
springs (Which were of metal) were
made from a piece Of an old lockwood
rule. The face which was polished until
it looked like a slab of finest ivory, was
made from the shoulder blade of an old
cow that had been killed by the cars.
"Doriot's queer watch" as it was
called, was an open-faced affair, with a
glass crystal and was pronounced a fine
piece of work by all the watchmakers
in East Tennessee.

There is more than one way Of
applying for an Office. as the private
secretary of n Of the cabinet officers
has found out. He has also discov-
cred that some people place a high
value on their applications. One day
an express messenger appeared with
a package addressed to him person
ally, and marked to the effect that
the value of the enclosure was $780,
600. For one fond moment he
dreamed that he had won the com
mendation of some wealthy benefAc-
tor who had testified his regard by
sending this valuable gift. He cut
the strings and tore open the wrap

A LIoNEss LOOSE.
Lights Went Out and a Panic Was Pro.

Lights Went Out and a Panic Was Pro-
duced.
An exciting incident occurred at
Bingley hall, Birmingham, on Monday
night, after the close of a public per-
Torrance which was being given there,
says the London Times. The enter
tainment is called the Worlds Fair
and consists Of a collection of shows,
including a circus and a menagerie.
At the conclusion of the entertainment
on Monday, shortly after II p. m., the
lion tanner, Orlando Mocomo, thought
1t necessary to remove a lioness lately
added to the menageries from the small
den in which she was placed on arrival
INTO n where she would have the
companionship of other animals Of her
own breed already trained. While the
change was being effected the electric
light was suddenly cut off, and the men
who were holding up the cage to the
leVel OF the van containing the trained
ilons became panic stricken and
dropped it. Unfortunately, the door
had just been opened to allow the lion
ess to pass through, and as the den
fell to the ground she escaped and
made her way into the center Of the
building. A scene of wild confusion
ensued, the attendants fearing every
moment that the lioness would spring
upon them. Happily she made across
the nall to the side on which the cir
Gus horses and mules were tethered.
There she turned her attention ap-
parently to a rough coated horse,
which had that morning been through
the first stages of training for the cir
Gus. NO n saw the lioness attack
her prey, but it was afterward found
that She had sprung upon the horses
neck, digging her claws into his shout
der. The animal shrieked with pain
and terror was so general among the
others tethered near that two mules
broke o and vent careering round
the nall. When the lights were again
turned on the escaped lioness was seen
clinging to the neck of the horse,
whose flesh was partly eaten away.
lhe lion tanner at once went forward
with a loaded gun, which, after three
futile attempts, he discharged full in
the face of the savage beast, killing her
upon the spot, the lioness and the horse
railing dead upon the ground together.
In the darkness and confusion one Of
the attendants had his hand mangled
by a lion, having incautiously grasped
the bar of the den. One Of the ele-
plants in his fright broke down his
house and rushed trumpeting into the
middle of the arena, but was secured
before any mischief had been done.
The extinguishing Of the electric light
appears to have been due to a misun-
derstanding of the managers order,
which was intended to apply only to
the public portion of the hall.
