to the circus grounds, where was as
sembled the greatest crowd Tommy
had ever seen. Two o'clock found
the three through with all the side
shows and ready for the big tent.
AS they passed through the menag-
erie tent towards the circus tent
Tommy was deeply impressed with
the strange animals that were crowd
ed about in cages. ''oh, let's stop
an see them!" he cried, all enthus-
iasm. ia

out Wen go round the menagerle
tent"
1t was Tommy's first circus, and
he had never enjoyed anything so
much in all his life.
But even while the exciting circus
performance was going on Tommy's
eyes became heavy and he felt that
unless he should do something to
drive away sleep he would certainly
succumb. H had gotten up UNUSUAL
ly early that morning, and the ride
and the abundant dinner had com
bined to make him drowsy. He put
his head against Aunt Mary's should
er and closed his eyes, deciding to
steal a bit of nap.
But he hadn't mapped long when
of sudden the clown left the cir
Gus ring and came up to the row of
seats where Tommy sat. Come
with me, kid he whispered in Tom
my's ear. I'm going to give you
real party in the big kitchen tent.
Hully-gee. but well have gay
time! Say nothing of this to any
one, but creep softly down and fol-

thing else. Down beneath the high
seats Tommy jumped and made his
way under them to curtained exit
through which he had seen the clown
disappear. And there on the other
side Of the curtain stood the funny
fellow, waiting for Tommy.
Now, to the gayest party that
ever you saw" And the clown,
dancing and frisklng ahead, lead
Tommy to a great outside tent which
they entered hand IN hand.
And it was surely a great party.
There were assembled all the curious
animals that Tommy had seen in the
menagerie tent. But now they we're

and chatting just like human beings.

POLAR BEAR HUNTING

which have no other object but that OF the chase
OF one Of these expeditions Georges Zahropulo
gives account in 'LIllustration."
The party left Drontheim on the morning OF July
! on board the Lofoten heavy Norwegian steam
boat, about hfty-two metres long and pretty we'll
manned. There were ten hunters each OF whom
had his own cabin. The numerous company which
travelled with them contained even the curers OF
skins. so that all trophies might be safely pre-
served. A doctor went with the expedition.
On July they reached the pola- seas where they

Isle Of Bears.
A bear chase is not very dangerous II one has
coolness of mind and good gun Taking every
thing into account, it Is easier properly to wound

cause in spite of his ferocity the bear knows very
little about defending himself against man, armed
