The Lion Got Loose.

In the early part of this century Kaid
MamOn, a governor of Tangier, was
taking a journey thither, carrying
large lion in cage borne by four mules
as a present from the Sultan to the
King of Portugal. One evening, after
the tents had been pitched and Kaid
Maimon was resting on divan In his
pavilion. he heard a neighing of hors-
rs, and then trampling and stampede
of the animals tethered outside. He
clapped his hands to summon the at
PENDANTS, but for few moments no
one came. Then appeared his prison
er, the lion, glazing fiercely as he APP
preached.
Kaid MaimOn was very courageous
man, and while the lion was advanc-
ing there was time to think Of many
things. 1t was of no use to draw his
sword; and moreover, if he should sue
coed in killing the lion. the Sultan
would probably cut off his own head
in return. SO he sat perfectly still. and
addressed the creature by the name
which had been given him.
you are a brave fellow. MaimOn,"
said he, "tO leave your cage and take
walk this fine evening. o judiciOus
and well-behaved lion. you do well to
enjoy YOURSELF" For the creature,
pleased with the Kaids voice, had be-

And now the lion had risen. rubbed
himself catike against his host, and
lain down with his head upon the
Kad's knee.
Brave though he was, the Kaid shud-
dered, and the perspratiOn of fear
broke out upon him. Not a sound was
to be heard in the camp, save the terri
fled neigh of a horse which had not
been able to escape with the others,
and which still scented the lion.
Maimon woke, stretched himself, and
put out his long. terrible claws. He
stalked toward the door, flashing his
tail. At its first movement the Kaids
turban was knocked off, and in replac-
ing 1t he muttered to himself:

in galloping away, and the lion broke
at once into pursuit. He overlook his
victim in two bounds, and laid him low
with lacerated sides and bleeding
throat. While he was thus engaged,
the Kaid escaped from the back of his
| tent and managed to summon his men,
who, half mile away, We're huddled
| together with the horses and mules.
''The first man who runs away
again." said he, II will bastinado till

And no one attempted to run. For

So they waited until the lion had gorg-
ed himself into sleepiness, and then
cautiously recaptured him.

THE TALE OF A KISS.

And Shall kiss you?" then he asked,
And "Oh, guess not" she REPLIED;
For rather than have said him yes,
This lGaiden would have died.
For modest was this maiden fair.
And sweet, and witching. too, was she.
He might have known she would not
grant
The boon he craved, oh, foolish he.
For, had he kissed her on the sly,
Shed not have more than killed him
there;
And, oh, twere heaven to die for her,
The maiden with the nut-brown hair.
And sweetest is the stolen kiss.
Methnks the maiden had not wept,
But would have made that young man
give
Her back that kiss before he slept.
And now I've told this little tale.
le fellows all. take heed of this
Don't ask n maiden if you may.
But if you want to-take kiss.

STILL HAS FAITH.
Captain WindrOw Says That Andree
Will Yet Return.


Chicago, Aug. 16.-Captain John
Windrow, of San Francisco, does not
believe the story that Professor An
dree's balloon was seen floating in the
ocean by Il ships captain. The captain
is visiting his brother, DR.. S. Windrow,
of 233 Lasalle avenue. He has re-
turned from Sweden, where he visited
his relatives among whom is the fam
lily of Professor Andree's brother. The
captain said:
81 was in Stockholm when the news
arrived that Andree had left Spitz-
bergen in his balloon. His family,
that is, his brother's-Andree is not
married-fully believe that he will be
heard from. Andree told them that if
no news was received from him in two
months, probably nothing would he
heard for a year, as he then would have
landed in such a locality that it would
require months for him and his party
to reach locality where they could
communicate with the outside world.
my own belief is that Andre has
struck southwest wind, as these are
the winds that most usually prevail at
this time of the year in the northern
ATTITUDES, and that he has been carried
into Siberia, and it may be months be-
fore he will be heard from.
GAS to the story of vessel having
passed a balloon floating in the sea,
that is a good yarn for landsmen.
There is not u captain SO inhuman, so
absolutely without senses that he
would not at once send boat to inves-
tigate the thing, and, anyhow, the bas-
ket and provisions that Andree carried
with him weighed six tons and would
sink the balloon when immersed in
water. Never fear, Andree will be
heard from, depend upon it,
