a Human Hiss Cowed the Lion.
At Cape Town a lion tanner was go

with full grown lion lately caught.
Suddenly it was seen that the brute
was putting the trainer through his
PAGES rather than being put through

ing, the big cat edged itself between
the thoroughly unnerved man and the
door Of the den, fixing its victim with
two rolling yellow orbs of flaming
ferocity and saving the empty air with
its tufted tail as it crouched prepare
tory to springing. Many men among
the audience, used to the ways Of wild
beasts, saw and comprehended, but
only one man possessed the knowledge
and the presence of mind to avert the
apparently inevitable. pursuing up his
lips as though he were going to whis-
tie, he emitted hoarse, low. rasp-
ing hiss. The beast heard and under
stood, for the sound was an exact i'm
itation Of the noise made by the giant
constructor when it's huge body is
coiled for the throw that never misses,
that never relaxes and that no beast
Of the field is strong enough to with
stand. Again and yet again the rau-
cous sound rasped the stiffness, and
the angry brute drew back its head, it's
great eyes grew small and dull, the
hackles rose and stiffened on it's back,
and it covered, whining, on the floor

Murder Will Out.

In county seat in one Of the mid
die western states dwelt a lawyer
who. after practice Of thirty years,
had accumulated a competence and
retired. Being man Of much more
than ordinary ability, an excellent
speaker, entertaining decided political
views and enjoying the confidence of
the community. he was urged by his
friends to run for congress. he re-
fused. In vain they pointed out the
fact that nomination would be equiv
alent to an election and pledged them
selves to secure his nomination. he
would not listen to them. A man
high in the political councils of the
state came to see him and added his
persuasion.
"You ought to take that Office" he
said. 1T might lead to something
higher. You would make a national
reputation"

She moved away. followed by the
two men. who were muttering angrily.
But Hills heard nothing more of the
fence save word from his attorney,
who informed him the Grays had
taken the matter to court and through
his own alertness they had lost their
case. Hills grinned and was relieved
that the matter was settled.
Some weeks later he strolled down
to the mooted grove. He was sitting
on stump when he heard strange
sound to the left-the sound as Of
some one sobbing He arose and
moved softly in that direction. There.
seated on fallen pine, her face COW
cred with her hands, was Miss Gray.
"Ohv' she said, looking up in EN-.

said Hills, stepping quickly to her
side.
Something In his voice made her
halt her footsteps, even against her
will.
She faced him defantly. You'll
pardon my trespassing, trust" she
said slowly. "But this grove is very
much to and-and since we lost
it, =. .-,g< = =
II didn't understand about it." Hills
said contritely, but the girl was gone.
Next evening, after busy day at the
county seat, Hills drove over to the
Grays'. 1888.
He had tactful little speech all pre-
pared, but somehow, face to face with
the girl, the speech took sudden wings.
II have brought you the deed to that
grove" he broke out awkwardly, "and
now you must take it and put your
fence where it was originally" he hur-
ried on.
Indeed not" said she. u couldn't
possibly do that. The grove Is yours.
We are quite wrong in the matter"
Long did Hills argue, but the girl
was obdurate. He walked homeward
feeling decidedly like a cad.
However, Hills was a persistent
mortal, and thereafter he went daily to
the Grays'. ostensibly to argue with
the girl about accepting the grove, but
in reality he knew it was something
utterly different that took him on his
daily errand.
"Now, why" said the girl one even
ing after some two weeks of this
''why should you be so anxious to give !.
up that grove when you were SO anx-
ious to keep it in the first placer"
"Well," said Hills, with an uneasy
laugh, there's Scriptural injunction,
you know, about loving your neighbor.
I believe we are instructed to love our
neighbor as ourself. Now, have gone
that injunction one better. II love
my neighbor. certain one of my
neighbors, very much better than do
myself or anything else in the world

about saying things, but perhaps you

Her hand rested lightly on his arm
and she was smiling up at him radi-'
antly.
"1'l take the grove now" she laugh
