LION AGAINST TIGER.
Greater Bravery Shown By the
Smaller Animal.

The owner of one-ring circus trav-
cling through the West this summer
found himself in sore straits through
the death Of a much advertised lion
which was the star attraction Of the
show. With a fertility born Of ne
cessity he advertised in the nearby
papers for a brave man." A good,
strapping Irisnman applied for the po-
sition.
'My pet lion has just died." said the
Snowman, land l will give you S.

skin and go through his tricks. All

cash money" The Irishman readily
assented to the proposition and being
of bright wit and intelligence soon
learned all that was required Of him
The first afternoon of the show he
went through the PAGES well, enclosed
| in large iron cage and occasionally
emitting a roar to startle the guileless
| countrymen. In the evening the man
ager thought he would cap the climax
by announcing to the audience that he
would place the lion in the tigers
cage. On hearing this the son of Err
was terrified beyond comprehension
However, with trembling steps he went
into the tigers cage, but at once crept
up into corner, praying to himself
Faith, God help me in this terrible
trouble" he moaned. "Kape away

broken down at the last moment. He
would make the trip to Worthing after
all.
"Put your hands higher up, verna

The swimmer rose on the crest of @
long green swell, travelling shoreward
A terrible explosion had occurred In
the engine room Of the Spray. She
had sunk in less than fifteen minutes
with her return journey but half &C
complished. There had been no panic
but her two boats were filed to the
very gunwales with their human
freight. Six men were venturing tc
swim to meet the boats, putting of
from the shore. Godfrey Mannering
was one of them. He had assured
Verna Of his ability to save her if she
would trust herself to him rather than
to the overladen boats.
Verna kept perfectly still. Her feet
trailing in the water gave her terri
flying sensation as of floating upon in
finite depth.
The strong frame of the swimmer
supporting her moved forward with
its steady strokes. How calm he seem
ed; how confident! At that moment she
loved him most: yet at that moment
she knew that she might never be

On the return journey to Brighton
Godfrey had told her all: had made
his confession. He had said: 81 love
you; loved you from the day that we
met. "That is all my defence"
There had been a long and dreadful
pause, while she wrestled with hel
pain, with her temptation. Then she
had answered: eve must say goodbye
We must never meet again. When We
land, we must shake hands for the las
time. You could not help loving me
any more than l could help loving you
Yes, I love you: but this is a barrier
which we cannot overcome"

WIEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
Ii You Have an Axe, You May Not
Have a Bad Time.

To get lost in the woods Is not an
uncommon occurrence, and what to do
under the circumstances is so we'll told
by Horace Kephart in "Field and
Stream" that readers fond of camping
and woodcraft will be interested:
THE first thing that one should do
when he realizes that he has lost his
bearings in wild country is to stop
and sit down. Don't take one more
step until you have recovered your wits
so that you can trace on the ground
with stick your probable course
since leaving the camp, and mark on it
the estimated location of such water
courses and other landmarks as you
have passed. Then make up your mind
that If you must stay out all night,
alone in the woods, it is no killing
matter, but likely an interesting ad-
venture. Having recovered your men,
tai balance, take note of the lay of the
land around you, the direction of its
drainage, the character of its vegeta-
ton, and the Inequalities that it offers
to a night-bound traveller, in the way
or drinking-water, sound down wood,
natural shelter and browse. Then
blaze a tree on four sides-make big
blazes that can be seen from any di-
rection. Do this even though there be
several hours Of daylight ahead, and al
though you have no present intention
of staying here; for you do know that
this spot is only so many hours from
camp by back trail, and that you may
have good reason to return to it.
Now try to get an outlook over the
surrounding country. In fat woods
this will be difficult. If you can risk
climbing a tall tree do SO. Select one
that you can climb, and having gained
your outlook, note the compass direc-
ton of watercourses and other land.
marks, mapping them on bit of
paper, for lost mans memory is
treacherous. The courses of small
streams show where the main valley
lies. Decide where to go, take the com.
pass direction, note how the sun strikes
it, and descend.
snow, as you travel, make bush
marks by making blazes on trees OF
breaking shrub here and there along
the trail, so you will easily follow your
way back should you have to pass thu
night in the woods"

She was sitting. astern, In pretty
frock of blue and white. and big
hat shading her eyes from the sun.
She was reading book while waiting
for the boat to start. The Spray, a
small pleasure steamer, tugged at her
mooring ropes off Brighton pier.
The Honorable Godfrey Mannering
watched, from the deck Of the West
Pier, this fragile figure Of girl. There
was something more than admiration
in his gaze.

ed upon such triviality, but-but"--
he broke off as the siren of the Spray
shrieked mpatiently-"but I fell in
love with her upon the spot" he added,
"and that's the plain, sweet, madden.
ing truth"
A band commenced to play softly
under the bridge Of the boat. Verna
Moore glanced up at the sound, and
Godfrey turned away swiftly, moving
off with long strides.
81 must not go; I must not, really"
he told himself. Heaven forbid that
! should win her hearth"
Verna had seen Godfrey as he
turned away A glow of color swan
into her cheeks, followed by a look of
disappointment.
Verna Moore was a governess. She
had been sent to Brighton to recover
from the effects of an illness. She
had met Godfrey Mannering there for
the first time.
Eyes, I'm in love; but, having made
the confession to myself, must forget
1t, drop this affair like a hot coal,'
Godfrey told himself. ut is just mad
ness, and Claire coming down to
Brighton today"
Madness, 1t was. For the Hon. Geof.
frey Mannering was engaged to be
married to Claire Ashberry. a baro.
. nets daughter. and an heiress. 1t had
been an early attachment; it had grad
ually developed into an engagement
partly because everyone expected that
it would, and Society insisted upon it
Yet now, Godfrey remembered certain

experience of an Old Timer la
the Wilds of Idaho.

"Tn the winter of 'G1," said an old
miner, now in Uncle Sans service,
at Washington, was living In
cabin by myself In the mountains Of
Idaho, about seven miles from Idaho
City, my nearest and only neighbor
the postmaster, an IriShman and
bachelor, who kept the toll house be-
tween Idaho City and the adjoining
mountain towns.
"My cabin was about two miles
to the East, directly among the
mountains. The snow which had
been falling at intervals for several
months, lay about 10 feet on a level
around my cabin, and my only
method Of travel was by snow shoes.
II had made my tri-weekly run to
see if the stage had brought any let
tiers to the toll house for me; and
while adjusting my snow shoes, pre-
paratory to starting back, heard a
believing and paving. A Texas
steer, which had separated himself
from the herd which had lately
passed toward the town, was angrily
shaking his head at me about 100
feet distant. He had run past the
house from the road up the little
straight path which Pat had kept
open to his spring, and after drink
ing and turning around, had become
bewildered, the snow being at least
eight feet deep on either side Of the
path.
"This was my direct route home, and
although, if had kept on top Of the
snow, he could not have pursued me,
the spirit of my school-boy days re-
yived and l removed my snow shoes
and Immediately made two little icy
snow balls. At right angles with
the path to the spring another and a
similar path had been cleared to a
cabin about the. same distance from
the toll house. AS I fired the two

strength which despair will give. At
a furlong from the shore he was seen.
A boat turned his way. Then came
final struggle to keep afloat. He was
dragged on board with his burden
when at the point of utter exhaustion.
The journey shoreward gave him
time to recover strength. With his
own hands he lifted Verna into a cab.
They were driven to Mer lodgings in
Old Steyne. He took her in his arms
and gave her one long, passionate kiss.
Then, with repressed sob, he LEFT
her. He was never to meet Verna
again. She had pointed his way OF
| duty, and he must follow it.
Godfrey turned his steps toward his
hotel.

During the last two years over 1900
immigrants from Oklahoma and other
parts Of the Southwest have located
in the single State Of Tamaulipas,
Mexico. They have made settlement
known as the Blaylock Colony, Just
west of EscandOn on the Gulf Rail-

houses and stores, and enjoy the
fullest liberty Of action. So 1t seems
that Americans are crossing the

Again the Spray shrieked for more

A hand was laid upon his shoulder,

market and has been improved until
no more faults can be found with it.
It is largely owing to the excellence Of
this machine that the Model laundry
has gained the reputation which it holds
for doing family work. Shirt and collar
machines of the most improved design
were also installed in June and they
have since demonstrated their excel
lence. With the new machines the COM
pany has increased the number of it's
employees to thirty;
The city water is more often than
not dirty and black with fifth, and in
consequence utterly unfit for laundry
use. To remedy this a large filter was
put in which has been especially de-
signed for laundry use. From this the
city water runs out pure and clear. Even
with good water men experienced in
the laundry business know that good
results are impossible unless the soap
is pure. Accordingly this company
manufactured their own soap out
Of the pure new stock. In this way
and by this way alone they can be alb
solutely certain they are not using soap

so that the dirt Of coal dust flying thru
