he gaped down at her and tried to
shout. But for some time he could
only make faces.
"Look look |" he yelled at last
"come up the riggingI" The lion is
loose I"
She sprang to her feet and looked
about her. Not four yards away from
her the lion was playing with a coil
of rope, the terrible claws alternately
exposius and sheathing themselves,
The creature was paying no sort of at
tention to the girl at the moment, but
of course it might take it into its head
to spring at her at any instant. As
she stood, she was eornered between
the stern of the ship and the cabin
door. There was nothing to be done
but to climb up the rigging. She
tried, but the first step was too high,
and she could not manage it; when
she realized that, l thought shs was
going to faint.
Hoskins was just going down to
give her his hand, but at that moment
the lion looked up and saw him, and
lashing its tail gave mufied roar.
The "old ma" stuck where he was
then, and sort of shivered all over like
Jelly. AS for the girl, she moaned
despairingly, and gave herself up for
lost. Just tben-out of the cabin
came Professor Hay.
He took one look around and saw
the lion. Then he picked up broom
that someone who had been washing
decks had left leaning against the
deck house, aud pushed at the lion
with it, looking it straight between the
eyes. he kept walking forward, push
ing the beast gently before him right
into the waist and back into it's cage,
in spite Of several ugly snarls. When
he had it safely fastened up. he came
astern again, looking not the least bit
excited or worried, and put the broom
carefully back in its place. The girl
was looking hard at him, and her eyes
were shining but he didn't seem to
be aware of it. Captain Hosklns had
come down the rigging and was look
ing a trife ashamed of himself. He
hadn't known it was so easy to push
lions into their cage, with broom
After bit he spoke up.
"Th4t was fine bit of work, sir, !"
he said. "If l hadn't seen it, |
couldn't have believed it.
"Oh, it's nothing said the Pro-
fessor. at was my business. have
tanned wild animals"
After that he seemed to dismiss the
whole subject from his mind, and went
down into the cabin. But saw him
later in the evening, talking to that
girl, and he must have had something
important to say to her, for when the
old man" met her next morning and,
began making excuses for himself, she
cut him short.
captain Hoskins," she said, "do
you remember advising me to marry
a brave man ?"
II do" said Hoskins, bit puzzled.
"Well," she said softly, "he asked
me yesterday; and I'm going to take
your advice.
All of which shows you, Doctor,
that bravery is very much a matter of
custom, AS for poor old Hoskins, we
had mill-pond weather the whole way
home, and he hadn't even chance to
show himself.

The InclOSure.


We gathered in that dull. close room,
With ignominious thoughts and small.
And something held US there in thrall
Like to the bondage OF tomb:
And we forgot the wide.
The pleasant land outside.
We uttered words OF biting scorn
For mortals when we chose to hate,
For things and deeds and human fate.
And nursed the wrongs that we had borne.
We failed to see the sky
Against the windows lie.
And all the while that We were there,
Beholden to our narrow place,
The sun rode on in open space
And songs of gladness filled the air.
And God, with his goodwill,
Around us waited still.

Whence the Name "Tiaer."

1t is reported that when the prin. @
of Wales shot a tiger in India awh:'s
ago, the beast charged him at full
speed. In so doing the tiger a do
ing its best to live up to the name of
its kind. Tigers are SO called because
of the swiftness of their movement.
especially in springing upon prey,
'tighri' being the old Persian word
for an arrow. Hence it comes about
that the beast and h River Tigris
have the same name. There is no
direct connection between them, but
in both cases their swiftness was the
characteristic that impressed the early
name givers. The tigers name is
thus, perhaps, nearly as superior in
nobility to the hyena's. as the one
beast is to the other, since "hyena"
is merely Greek for SOW"

Ingenious Plea Made by Rascal

Nobody is worried nowadays by

the ancient Romans soon got used to
the anomaly when the new yea was
shifted back from March to January,
though the old names of the months
were retained. But there was one Of
them who made ingenious s of it
Licinius, a rascally procurator at
Lyons under Augustus. He insisted IN

it was the tenth month of the year,
and there ought to be twelve, there
must be two more to be accounted

the notorious "Albina gang" last
night short-circuited the current,
burned out ''pothead" at the North

in the power station at Oregon City,
throwing Portland and all its suburbs
and oregon City into utter darkness,
tying up all street-car traffic and put
ting everything out of commission
that was dependent upon electric
current for motive power, says the

ness reigned. Churches. theaters and
private dwellings were without light
save where candles or gas could be
used. The streets were in darkness,
and thousands of persons who poured
out of the public buildings looking
vainly for cars to take them home,
were drenched with rain.
