But what's that you've got in your hand,
Waltz" asked Ed.
"Oh, it's only ticket for the Equine Para
dox-trained horses, you know"
For next Saturday afternoon?" exclaimed
Hal, eagerly.
"Yes. Why, are you going too?"
mo, we've been; but l was wondering if
that ticket wouldn't be about the best pos
sible thing for you to put on the racquet.
Would you just as leave give it, Waltz
"Of course But then it only cost fifty
cents, and So"
Here, then" broke in Ed, as he threw
some small change down on the table; "if
you want to make the thing more equal, let 8
get Hall and Rob to take back part Of what
they put in. I'll give seventy cents myself

let me see-sixty-fve from each of them; that

lars, which, with your ticket, Walt, will make
up the two and a half we want to provide for

So the four hurried off to the hall where
the exhibition was given, succeeded in secur-
ing very desirable seats, and then set out for
No. 312.

uncle had promised me, and which was to go

it in the yard outside the menagerie because
feared, boy-like, that Evans would forget
it, even if he were back in time.
81 had no thought of fear as / entered,
and well remember how boldly l advanced
between the rows of cages, cutting the dark
ness right and left with my lanterns bright
rays. But suddenly, having neared the far
end of the menagerie most remote from the
street, l was appalled, to behold huge cage
wide open in front of me, and upon its floor,
crouching unclaimed and glaring> directly at
me. royal Bengal tiger.
Overcome with terror, / fell, lantern in
hand, upon my knees, and in that position
stared at the fierce animal in an agony of un-
speakable fear. Great drops of perspiration
stood cold on my forehead, and the rapid
humping of my heart sounded in my ears
like muffied drum-beats.
"Ten minutes-which seemed to me as many
hours-of this dreadful suspense passed.; and
then, as the tiger did not move toward me,
the thought crossed my mind Should not
move from him? But were / to stir, might
not my movement excite a rival activity on
his part? And what kind of chance should
have, poor little mouse, under the eye of
that great feline?
"Before / could reach the side-door and
open it, ] should be within the grasp Of the
pursuing tiger. / had seen a cats strategy

attitude of the tiger, for he seemed only wait
ing for me to move to spring upon me, when
/ heard the voice of Ben Evans outside in
the street. He was in conversation with
some one Then his companion went away,
and | heard the keepers key in the door.
Life was sweet at that supreme moment,
and ! selfshly resolved to remain motionless
and let Ben, as he approached, take the
tigers first spring.
II heard the door shut and locked The
tiger remained quiet. ] heard Ben walking
towards me- Still the tiger did not stir.
Hullop exclaimed Ben, standing over me
in astonishment and touching me with his
foot. What are you doing here, boy-at
this time of night, too?'
81 looked up furtively, motioned him to
hush and pointed to the tiger.
"'What! are you afraid of that-.a stuffed

ingly at being disturbed at such an unseemly
hour.
Stuffed? l repeated, in most disguised
tone of voice, as / scrambled to my feet.
That stuffed tiger?
"But SO it was; for, as Ben explained, this
royal Bengal tiger had been dead three
months; but having been so large and beauti-
full, my uncle had had him stuffed by
Frenchman, and sent home on the preceding
evening.
"This, then, accounted for my miraculous
escape, and no thanks to my prudence in keep
ing quiet so long. l have only to add that

early morning stage"

ing a while pretending sleep, till its victim s
hopes revived, and again pouncing upon it the
instant the little captive tried to escape.
"Was this to be my fate? The thought of
the cruel death menacing me filed my soul
with indescribable horror, and | was on the
point of making desperate dash for the near
est cage, and clambering to the top, which 1
might easily have done had not the tiger been
there~a serious obstacle between me and this
single place of safety.
But dare not stir, and so remained where
/ had fallen, hoping by keeping quiet to de-
lude the tiger into the belief that was not
an object to tempt his appetite and as
gaZed up at his rapacious face, reflected how
naturally he might be hungry in the night
time when other beasts of his kind are ac-
customed to prowl and prey | wondered,
too, why he was SO tardy with such an unex-
pected luncheon trembling before him.
"No doubt he had had his supper; but /
very much feared that a, tigers voracity was
a menagerie. And if his hunger were ap-
peased, who could set bounds to his innate
fondness for killing and rending, for the mere
sport of the thing?
''The fixed remorselessness of that massive
visage; the intensified craftiness of those big.
sulphurous eyes; the bulging wickedness of the
hairy cheeks; the slumbering malice about the
placid, but deceitful jaws; the bunchy sinu-
osity of the extended legs, and the enormous
strength lurking in that vast pair of velvet
paws-were objects of most Objectionable
criticism on my part.

Then, without affording the utterly bewil-
dered Bill an opportunity to do more than
look as if he had just been informed of his
elevation to the throne of Turkey, Hal turn

again added Rob.
They did not that week, but on the fol-
lowing Monday morning the Arnolds' butler
handed Ed a note at the breakfast table, He
said he found it under the outside door of the
vestibule
1t was written on sheet of foolscap, and
folded large, so as to be sure to attract at.
tention. There was no envelope. The ad.
dress on the outside ran as follows:
"To the boy who lives in this house."
And the note itself read:
"We are much obliged for the tickets. The
show was a good one. We all call you boys
regular bricks, and we are, yours truly,

whom our friends had applied for further di-
rections "Shure, ye'l find them on the third
flight back"
'And is Bill up there, tooT inquired Hal.
'He is that" was the emphatic response.
AN as cross as hungry bear, wild the
toothache."
This was not particularly cheering intelli-
gence; but it made it possible, at any rate,
to deliver the tickets into the hands of the
leader of the gang" himself. So the boys
pressed bravely on up the dark stairway, and
Hal knocked boldly at the Manly door.
Come inl" yelled a rough, irritable voice,
and they entered.
The room was stiflingly warm, but there
sat Bill, close beside the stove, with his face
bound up in red handkerchief, and one hand
propping up his cheek. His stare of aston
ishment, on beholding our four friends, was
something not soon to be forgotten.
But Hal did not give him time to express
any words Of welcome or the reverse, as the
case might be. Stepping forward, and drop
ping the package of tickets in his lap, he said,
hurriedly:

about pirate chiefs or bowling red men, with

"Oh, one of US will probably think Of a
scheme in day or two" returned Hal. ANY
time before next Saturday'll do"
Then the members of the club separated,
with an appointment to meet Monday, af-
ter school, at the Carletons'.
"Have either of you fellows thought of any
thing splendid?" inquired Rob, eagerly,
when Walter and Ed presented themselves at
the door of Shis brothers room on that occa-
sion.
NO." was the reply from both. "Have
you?"
we can fix on something sooner if we know
how much we, can afford to spend on it.
