CONTINUED FROM PRECEDING PAGE

"The next instant we saw a dark body fly
ing through space, straight out from behind
the rock. 1t was the tiger, maddened with
pain, and furious and desperate at being driven
into corner, leaping with one tremendous
bound upon the guide!
"There was a gleam of steel as the sharp
knife came through the air against the body
OF the animal, and then Yampa and the tiger
seemed to be casped in close embrace, and
they swung to and fro violently.
1.-The combined weight of the two was too
much for the native, and the lazo slipped from
his grasp, and man and beast went rolling
down the steep descent, whirling over and
over with a rapdity that fairly made our
heads swim to look upon, and with splash
that tossed the water high upon the rocks
went plunging into the middle of the stream
"There was no time to be lost, and the
next instant Marsh, the professor and myself
were waist-deep in the current, slashing away
with our knives at the tiger, which, dazed and
exhausted, made few frantic efforts to clutch
us with his cliws, and then suceumbed liter

The easiest way to teach a young beginner
is to let him measure and rule lines for a large

time he can find the two-inch mark himself,
and, with assistance, rule the lines; and you
must not go on to anything more difficult till
he can do this entirely himself.
Having mastered this, he can make box

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY

In a runaway Thursday morning
shortly before noon. an Italian. whose
name could not be learned, employed
as a driver by the Canton Natural
Gas supply company, was injured.
The accident occurred on West Sec
ond street near Market. The man
was driving along Second street. when
the horse got beyond his control and
dashing east 1t struck q horse which
was standing In front of the market
house. The force of the collision
threw the man from the wagon, and
when he was picked up. he was un-
conscious aud covered with blood
from a deep wound In his scalp.
DR.. G. e. Schilling was called after
the man had been taken into the
residence of Joseph Piero nearby.
and upon examination the only wound
that was found was deep cut In the
back of his head. The man remained
unconscious for about half an hour.
and when he recovered sufficiently
was taken to his home on Madison
street In a carriage. II Is not thought
that he was seriously injured.

EAST AND WEST
ARE EVEN UP IN PLAY FOR GOLF
CHAMPIONSHIP
Great Crowd Followed Pairs About
Course Through Hard Rain.

Cleveland, o., July u.-Four east
ern and four western players survived
the first day OF match play AT the
National championship today over the
Euclid links. The eastern contingent
sthl In the hunt are Travis, irayers
and Graham, OF New York, aud West
OF Philadelphia For the west. Cns-
cago claims Sawyer and WOOD. and
the allegiance or Byers and w. q.

Rain In the afternoon did NOT
keep the gallery on the course. The
club house was as dry us a bone. tho
rain spouted In torrents \ from its
gabled roof. but the onlookers 40.
serted the shelter. The women stay
ed In the open tents and overlooked
what they could OF the play. Out on
the course men who had Umbrellas
or mackintoches walked brayely
along in the wake OF the pairs, while
those not 30 protected skinned Ia the
let ups OF tne storm from tree TO tree.
The morning was one OF catastrophe
for the west, although Sawyer and
Woods and Weber glowed as brIgnt-
iy as rainbows after tue stress OF
the storm. Think OF the two Bgans
being beaten In the first round. An
odd thing about Chandler's defeat was
that II was at the hands OF Ned Saw

MUSIC So SOFT
AS TO CREATE A THRlLL-THE
CROWD ExPEcTANr,
But Soon There Came chlll--For
Bluecoats, Who Possess a clneh,
Appeared With Threats to
Make a Pinch.

The light within the tent was dim
and shaded to faint rose color.
Music, the low toned, seductive
strains of some Oriental master of
harmony came from a group who
sat at one side of the little stage.
Before them we're gathered, closely
crowded, hundred or more men. All
we're silent and waited with tense
look of expectancy on their faces.
Suddenly the music grew In volume,
the time was faster. the musicians
seemed inspired by something as yet
invisible to the eagerly gazing crowd.
Then swept in on the stage the form
of woman.
Beautiful she was, and graceful
with all the grace and abandon OF the
East From face, dark. low browed
and piquant great black eyes looked
out questioningly on her audience.
Masses of dark hair we're gathered to
her head with a turquoise studded
fillet. Her attire was such as might
have been worn by Salome as she
danced before Herod. M
The music changed and slowly at
first the glrl began. With graceful
motions OF her arms half concealed
by her draperies she followed the
mazes of the dance. Changing her
postures as the music rose or fell she
danced the dance OF the seven wells.
Outside the tent number Of forms.

Of the night, stealthily approached
the place. Two made their way ST.
lently to the rear wall where a
loosened flap showed place OF exit.
The others led by one who seemed
in command grouped themselves
about the entrance.
''Now's the time" said the leader.
as the music swelled louder and be-
came faster and the low murmur OF
approval from the spectators reached
his ears. With rush the little band
of officers made their way into the
startled crowd. The music stopped
The dancer gave one long. keen look
at the men who had interrupted her
artistic performance and fed to the
arms of the two blueooats VINO barred
the rear exit.
No arrests were made but tonight
there will be no performance at Third
