GREEN-EYE'S SECOND SIGHT
BY LEO CRANE
(Copyright.)

In the days of her babyhood she baf
bestowed on him the name of Green
eve. In those days both his eve,
would reflect a yellowish green al
times-not the vitriolic CLEAN of rage
but a doubling annoyance, and this
had been the nature of the animal
since the firm training of her father
Krantz Circus men referred tc
Krantz, of the Consolidated outfit
as the one man they had known
to possess perfect assurance in the
den of a full-grown tiger, and they
could not understand why he did not
take this wondrous power to a bigger
show. There would have been money
in it for him, they said.
But Krantz was getting old. He re-
ferred to this and said he lacked am
bition. Green-eye he owned, and be.
tween them they made a good living
for the daughter.
One day the circus men were sur
prised to find that Milly Krantz had
put on long skirts.
David, the young fellow who topped
the highest hurdles on FREELY, and
Milly had grown up together, show
children, boy and girl. He walked
around her admiringly.
"Humph!" he muttered in a teasing
mood. You're dressing finer than

my house Real silk" and he picked
up the skirt to examine its rufled
edge.
David threw up his hands in comic
pathos.

Geel it's tough proposition" was his
comment.
Then Krantz flung to the gossips a
sensation. One morning he took Milly
into Green-eye's presence, into the
circular cage. He told her to walk
about. Then he put Green-eye through
the drill. When the beast growled
Krantz spoke to him and shook the
silken ruffles of the skirt until they
tweaked like the cats whiskers, and
he taught Milly to give the commands.
Then Krantz announced one morn
ing that on the next day Milly would
go into the cage alone.
David hurried off to find Milly and
strenuously opposed the plan.
Don't be a silly boy" she said,
laughing.
But the danger, Milly, the danger"
There is no terrible danger, dear
boy. He never rushes, never springs,
David" said Milly quietly. Green
eye isn't really green eye at all,
David, boy. Green-eye is blind"
David sprang to his feet.
Blind"
David stared at her, his lips parted
In an incredulous smile,
"Milly :" he said, "you-do

CAMDEN POINTS
PATRIOTIC WAY.

The city of Camden shows its patri-
otism in a practical way and suggests
something that Bridgston might we'll
follow.
An ordinance has been passed by
the Camden Oity Council which au-
thorizes the Mayor Of the city to an.
nually appoint a committee of twenty
fivs citizens OF the city to work In
conjunction with the Grand Army Of
the Republic to arrange a program OF
ceremonies for the observance ~of
Memorial Day.
The ordinance sets forth that the
ranks of the Grand Army are being
rapidly depleted through death and
old age, making 1t mors difficult each
year for the veterans to properly ar.
Eange for fitting celebration. For
this reason the Mayor Is authorized IA
appoint this committee of citizens to
join with the soldiers. and represent.
ing. with authority. the city, lay ou,
