What in Anothe! snake?" he
demanded, twisting warily about to
glare at the ground behind him.
"There-over in the grass" she
whispered. 1T looked out at me with
terrible, savage eyes!"
Snake THAT far off,"
mo, no!-a monster-a huge, fierce
BEAST"
"Beast?" echoed Blake, grasping his
bow and arrows. where is he? May
be only one of these African buffaloes.
How'd he look?-horns?
II didn't see any. 1t was all
shaggy, and yellow like the grass,
and terrible eyes-Oh!"
The girls scream was met by fe-
rocious, snarling roar, so deep and
prolonged that the air quivered and
the very ground seemed to shake.
Coda lion." cried Blake, the
hair on his bare head bristling like
a startled animals.
He turned squarely about toward
the ridge, his bow half drawn. Had
the lion shown himself then Blake
would have shot on the instant. AS it
was, the beast remained behind the
screening border of grass, where he
could watch his intended quarry with
out being seen in turn. The delay
gave Blake time for reflection. He
spoke sharply, as it were biting off his
words: Hit out. I'll stop the buffer"
Il can't. Oh. I'm afraid"
Again the hidden beast gave voice
to his mighty rumbling challenge.
Still he did not appear, and Blake at
tempted derisive jeer: Hey, there,
louder! We've not run yet! It's all
right, little woman. The skulking
sneak is trying to bluff us. 'Fraid to
s)me out if We don't stampede. He'll
make off when he finds we don't scare.
Lions never tackle men in the day
Il ne. Just keep cool while.
HAll-"
"Look!-there to the right saw
him again! He's creeping around!
Sea the grass novel"
That's only the wind 1t eddies
doWn-God! he is stalking around
Trying to take us from behind-curse
him! He may get me, but I'll get
him, too-the dirty sneak!"
The blood had flowed back into
Blake's face, and showed on each
cheek in little red patch. His broad
chest rose and fell slowly to deep
respirations; his eyes glowed like
balls of white-hot steel. He drew his
bow little tauter and wheeled SLOW
ly to keep the arrow pointed at the
slight wave in the grass which marked
the stealthy movements of the lion.
Miss Leslie, more terrified with every
added moment of suspense, cringed
around, that she might keep him be-
tween her and the hidden beast.
Minute after minute dragged by.
Only a man of Blake's obstinate, sui
len temperament could have withstood
the strain and kept cool. Even he
found the impulse to leap up and run
all but irresistible. Miss Leslie
crouched behind him, no more ablel
to run than a mouse with which a cat
has been playing.
Once they caught glimpse of the
sinuous tawny form gliding among the
leafless stems of thorn clump. Blake
took quick aim; but the outlines of

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW.
Homcly Little Rules Of Great Value In
the Kitchen.

There are some homely little rules
not distinctly new and original, but oh,
80 useful! When the boiling vegeta-
bic has caught, don't try to pry it out
OF the saucepan and take all the burnt
taste with it, but, rather, plunge the
outside OF the saucepan into cold water
few moments; and when you loosen
the vegetables carefully with a spoon
the hardened burnt portion will re-
main in the pan.
When the small cakes in gem pans
have done just a moment too long and
seem inclined to stick to the pans, try
the same plan, only less strenuously.
Hold the under sides of these hot lit
tie pans against a wet tea towel, and
the cakes will loosen at once.
After greasing your cake tins with
lard and before pouring in the cake
batter dredge the bottom Of the tins
with -four, shaking out all that does
not stick evenly to the lard. Cake
batter poured in on this dry flour will
rarely stick to the pan after it is
baked. Wet the inside Of china or tin
molds, with white Of the egg before
pouring in gelatin cranberry or blanc
mango, and the hardened dessert will
not stick when you are ready to dis
lodge It,
So many things have q disappoint-
Ing way OF sticking. and the house
keeper without a long memory de-
spairs without these occasional re-
minders.

Barefoot DANCING.

We. read Of young women in various
parts of the country giving shoeless
and stockingless dances for the bene-
dt of charity and for other purposes
not announced, among which perhaps
could be numbered the qualification of
feminine vanity and the desire to at
tract attention. Apart from the pro-
priety of such spectacles and the alb.
sence Of modesty which the old-fash-
Toned love to think is still innate in all
womankind, there Is the matter of
the grievous afIliction which audiences
are going to be called upon to endure
if this mania continues. The feminine
pedal, no doubt, was originally a
thing Of beauty. but tight shoes and
French heels have not conserved ii,
and the suggestion that young women
should dance barefoot should appall
Them quite as iauch as ii does us, even
if they are not restrained by any
thought OF prOpriC5y.
