She made no reply, but took his arm,
and together they sauntered through
the rooms until they found the duchess,
when Jennie took her leave Of the host

nothing to be desired. All went well
until they reached the head Of the stair,
when the duke, an ominous frown on
his brow, hurried after them and said
"My lord, excuse me.
Lord Donal turned with an i'll con-

was helpless, for he feared his host

a scene even in his own hall. Had it

EASY TO BE A LION tanner.
Wonderful Control Over the
Beasts Easily Explained.

Not long ago lion tanner who was
exhibiting in a German circus in Hol-
land attracted immense crowds at
every performance by doing what
seemed to be the most daring of acts
in the lions cage. He would climb
into the cage with great pieces of meat
and throw it to the roaring beasts.
The moment they had leaped upon it
he would spring among then and put
his foot on it. The animals would
growl furiously and then, just as the
spectators were all waiting breathless-
ly, expecting that the beasts would
tear him to pieces, they would shrink
back cowed. After he had repeated
this exciting act for many days, an
for big sum Of money that he would
not dare to do it after the lions had
been starved for three days. The train
er considered for a moment and then
accepted the wager, making only the
condition that he be allowed to have
three weeks of preparation, relates the
Washington Post.
At the end Of three weeks the trainer
announced that he was ready, and the
process of starving the lions began.
The Englishman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night to make
certain that not morsel of food
should be given to the animals. AT
the expiration of the three days all
Amsterdam rushed to the circus. The
lions were maddened with hunger, as
any one could see and hear, for they
roared continually and their attempts
to break through the bars showed how
angry they had become. In the height
of the uproar the trainer entered the
cage with an immense piece of beef
in his arms. He tossed it on the floor
of the cage raised his whip and 10!
mot one lion dared to approach it. The
mighty brutes lay crouched, roaring
and growing so hard that their great
frames shook, and each kept his ter
rife yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the
= meat. But not one of them stirred.
The trainer stopped, lifted the beef
and tossed it to them again, and in a
moment the lions were in great
tawny ball, rending and snarling and
tearing, with blood from the mangled
beef, squirting all over the cage The
Englishman paid his bet and then tried
to find out how the lion-tamer had ac-
quired such wonderful control over
his beasts. At first the man would not
tell, but at least he consented to eX-
plain it. During the three weeks
period of preparation he had always
starved the lions from the very begin
ming Then, on the fourth day, he
would enter the cage with piece of
beef which had been soaked in kero-
sene oil. The lions would no sooner
pounce upon it than they would
shrink away, sickened by the stencil.
Then he would throw them fresh
and good piece of beef which they
would devour in a moment. The lions
soon became so accustomed to eX-
pecting that the first piece of beef
that was thrown to them was not good
that at the end of the three days they
would not even move from their cor
ners when the trainer threw it on the
floor of the cage. They would not try
to eat anything except the second
piece. So the daring trick had very
simple explanation.
