Tho business done last Sunday at Frank C.
Bostock's wild animal show, Coney Island, was
the largest in his experience as a Snowman, and
on his own statement exceeded that of Mckinley

day Of Bonavita's return to face Baltimore in
the Paris Hippodrome after his hand had been
removed. Mr.. Bostock is seriously considering
making Bonavita's daring act a feature by IT.
self The demand has been so great that he
may decide to put the act on at stated times
every day and charge a special price. probably
an increased one. The thrilling spectacle of the
one-armed lion trainer has proved the biggest
kind Of a drawing card. Another attractive
feature has been the two hybrid jaguar-leopard
cubs which were born recently, and Of which
the lamented jealous Jaguar, Prince, was the
father. He died the day before the cubs were
born. Their eyes are now open. The burlesque
lion training act Of the FrenchInan, Ray, fills, is
interesting and novel His cOmical makeup,
with enlarged muscles. his daring foOIery with
the lions pulling one Of them around the floor
by the tail, all make the act remarkable. Twenty
other acts are included in the performance, and
Bostock's is the most popular Of the many Coney
Island anusements.

IN HE expression Of tender senti-
ment with which Private Jansen
regarded the tintype picture of
a young girl sat with striking in
congruity on his angular, sharp
cut face. The tall forra. clad in travel
stained kahki and covered with the ac-
cumulated dust Of a long and weary
march under the scorching Philippine
sun, had little in its appearance to sug-
gest the lover. The set, stern, rather
harsh face OF Private Jansen was that
of a man who takes life as hard real
fly and has little opportunity to de-
velop those lighter and more subtle
faculties which have TO do with Cupid
and his wiles.
Unimaginative as he seemed, how
ever; practical and matter-of-fact as
we're his ways, there were times when
his "bunkie" would surprise a great
tenderness in Jansen's clear blue eyes
which redeemed his face from utter
plainness-the eyes which CLEANED in
battle and directed tie bullets from his
rifle TO the heart OF many a dusky foe
man; which sparkled in excitement in
many a desperate rush and looked with
poundless pity on the death Of many

face remained strangely immobile
Tonight. as he had often done be-
fore, Jansen carefully removed the soil
ed paper covering from a little metallic
square which had long reposcd, cher
fshed treasure, in the pocket of his
army shirt, and brought TO light the
fading mcmento OF the only passion
which had ever broken in upon his I'M
cventful life.
Keep il, Wilfred-and bring il back
TO me-" she had said as she bade him
good by with a sob at the little white
washed gate of her fathers house in
Illinois.
What ? picture she had made that
day, IS she stood in her blue gingham
dress. the dark hair curling about her
temples and two big tears glistening
in her bright brown eyes. For a mo-
ment Wilfred's courage deserted him
and he wished that he might stay. But
only fer moment He saw the proud
light in her eyes as she gazed upon
his uniform. When he kissed her she
had murmured My hero. Only don't
be too brave. Don't let them kill you,
but come back to me-"

rushed away.
And that was over a year ago. The
war with a civilized foe was farcicaIly
short. For a time peace reigned and

ing grounds of the red man. But mean
time the soldiers were perishing from
disease and fatigue and were being
shot down by invisible foes; they were
homesick and weary and not in a prop
er frame of mind to phslosophize upon
the manifold blessings that would ac-
crue in the future to those who stayed
at home.
Something of all this passed through
Jansen's mind and he vaguely wonder
ed If the game was worth the candle,
when a shot and cry, followed by a
sharp command, brought every man to
his feet with the promptness born OF
constant expectation of attack.
The shot had been fired by the sem
try at black figure, with upraised
"bolo"-just in time to save the for
mer's head from being cleft in twain.
The Tagal was now writhing on the
ground, bullet in his breast. He had
stolen up, noiselessly, in the shadows
to dispose of the sentry, so that his
comrades might comfortably massacre
this little squad while they slept-and
he would have accomplished his pur-
pose, as many had done before him,
had he not chanced to step upon the
tin cover of a beef can which emitted
warning "clack" and apprised the
sentry of his danger.
Lieutenant Forrest, whose expert
erce in the Apache country had taught
him that every camping place in hos
tile territory must be a redoubt, had
chosen, in the present instance, a sort
of natural stockade, formed by a
hedge of stunted trees and a huge
boulder or ledge of rock. The trees,
seven or eight in number-their
gnarled and twisted branches inter-
laced in a wonderful fretwork-were
not over twelve feet in height
and almost destitute Of foliage. Their
lower branches were, however, so
closely interviewer that they served eff
fectually to cut off all attack from that
quarter and afforded considerable pro-
lection from the enemy's fire. The
ledge of stone formed an almost per-

feet breastwork, rising to an average
height of four and half feet and was
pierced here and there with narrow
apertures which seemed to have been
especially designed by Nature for use
as PORTFOLIOS. These two ramparts
extended at right angles for q distance
of about forty feet, while behind lay
comparatively open country. In front,
about two hundred yards beyond the
point of the IL" shaped fortification
was the entrance to tropical forest,
In which the foe lay concealed.
AT this moment the moon, which un-
