Paul came down the rope so fast that
he knocked the cats off and the audience
was treated to the sight of African tigers
dropping ten yards. They landed on their
feet as cats and tigers do. and then sat
down to lick their paws which had been
bruised.
Paul never stopped to explain thing
but in his circus clothes he ran to the
railroad station which was on the next

was going to do next the three changed in

1t contained the Instructions of the King

was for the young Princes hands to be
washed with soap. They were to use bran
and q slice of lemon. The lemon was to
remove ink stains, and in summer to keep
off gnats and mosquitoes. Napoleon,

out as they had come in, but it isn't at
all likely that bees would do such thing
while fairies would go about it in just
that way, as we all know.

sisted in his ability TO make people think
anything he wanted them to. He could
convince them that black was white with

no better than most children, and was

never suspected il; but he had such pleas

that they who knew better were perfectly
willing to believe that such things were

next day.
Paurs influence did not last if ne was
out of town, but as he almost always
stayed at Sudbury Corners or Sudbury
Center that didn't make much difference
But once when he left a picnic suddenly
to go on a long drive with his uncle the
consequences to the picnickers was disas-
trous. They had been supposing that
they were having a splendid lunch and
they found it very ordinary indeed after
he had gone. Not only that, but Eddie

and the lemonade soured-it was very hot

One day '"PelFs enormous and magnifi-

There was not a person there who did rot
think that he saw big African tigers and
an italian wolf. Jack Bredalbane, who
knew they were simply cats and a dog,
forgot it while he watched their tricks.
When the tigers leaped over Paul's head
the audience cheered, and when he rode
three times around the ring on the back
of the gaunt and wicked looking wolf with
the red eyes and the loliing tongue close
ly pursued by the raging tigers their de-
light was unbounded.
But Eddie Manson was at the circus
and he had a Crude against Paul because
the latter was such favorite with eyerv-
one. lie did not know what the beasts
were, for he too was under the infu-
ence of Paul, but he did not believe that
they were wild animals. and he knew that
if Paul left town that his influence woukl
go too. He thought that when the audi
ence learned that they had been fooled
they would be incensed against Paul ana
the manager would discharge him
The next night the crowd was double
the size Of the first audience. There were
people from New Haven and even as far
as Bridgeport, for the papers had been
full of the wonderful exploits of this To-
years-od boy.

The tent was black with people and
when Paul came out riding on the "wolrs"
back and fercely pursued by the ramp-

probation.
Paul put them through several tricks
and then a knotted rope was lowered from
the TOP Of the tent and he climbed Il. fol-

audience was spellbound.

draughts, for if you leave the door of

The next morning the manager woke up
early, but Paul was already awake and
willing people to see what he wished them
to- and not what they really did see.
When the manager came up to the cage
Paul started the cats to jumping and call
ed to the dog TO leap on his chest and lick
his face Mr.. Pell was overjoyed Boy
that's the most wonderful think I ever
saw. Those lions look hungry and fierce

Baul said: Il hope your audience will

the strict truth. Paul did hope so, and he
hoped TO such good purpose that at the
afternoon performance the entire audi
ence tried to crowd around his cage to
