glaring al each other, motionless- Out
side the cage an unerring marksman
was noiSelessly sighting rifle at the
big brute's head-a desperate alterna-
tive and almost surely a fatal one to
Maxwell Even If the bullet went
true, the lion was nearly certain to
crush him down in its death leap, but
there appeared to be no other chance.
Then, Just as the sharpshooter was
about to press the trigger, while the
lion seemed to almost hang suspended
over Maxwell in his fatal spring, every
light in the great tent went suddenly
out. The electric current had failed.
The shock of this sudden plunge
into blackest darkness at such a dra-
matte instant cut the cord of human
control short OF and there was some
thing like a panic in the audience.
This wild confusion outside the cage,
following so closely upon the abrupt
change from the light of MONDAY to
absolute night, probably disconnected
the lion somewhat for an instant and
drew his attention, though once his
equilibrium was restored, which would
be very soon, the advantage of the
changed conditions lay unQuestionably
with him Maxwell, too. was startled
by the change, but was so accustomed
to dramatic situations that he was not
too much disturbed to make the most
OF the diversion Quietly, but quickly
as he could, he began to move eau
uously backward in what he thought
was the direction of the cage door.
Hope again returned to him.
He had nearly reached the door in
safety, and was already wondering
how he could notify the attendants Of
his presence without attracting the at
tention of his enemy when, with a roar
OF rage, the lion bounded forward. He
had discovered his escaping prey.
With safety almost in reach, but with
his situation now a hundred times
more desperate than before, Maxwell
crouched back against the bars of the
cage not two feet from the door and
gave himself up for lost. At that in
slant every light burst forth again as
suddenly as il had disappeared and
with . shock almost as disconcerting
Beppo stopped short. bewildered and
cowed by the sudden glare.
In fash, with the returned light,
the watchful attendants took in the
situation Quickly thrusting a tenn
porary partition through the bars, be-
tween the lion and his prey. they tore
open the door and dragged Maxwell
, outside, where he collapsed in a limp
neap. Then they slammed the door
shut again just as the furious beast, re-
covered from his confusion, came
crashing up, determined still, but bat-

wIcKEDNEss AND BLOND HAIR

II is now proved scientifically that

and gone is the cherished theory that
your typical villain must necessarily
be swarthy- On the contrary, the too
ingenious person who is always in
trouble is apt to have eyes of inno-

slowed on SO many of his alluring
women. Blanche Amory in "Penden-
MS" and poor Cousin Maria in The
Virginians" both incurred the censure
of their creator and both were vapid
blondes.
The only highty young persons whom
Thackeray clearly admires are Beatrix
Esmond and Ethel Newcome. and one
was chestnut colored and the other
black; if Ethel had been fair, the great
man would have made her marry
Lord Farintosh and elope with her
groom.
Miss Newcome, however, was drawn,
il is now known, from the beautiful
American, Miss Sally Baxter, to whom
Thackeray was attached In so platonic
and pathetic a manner. The story of
his devoted friendship to the typical
American beauty. told in the Letters
10 an American Family" is one of the
few genuine romances of the literary
life. Doubtless Miss Sally Baxter had
raven hair and those sweeping black
eyelashes for which the women of the
southern states are famous.

A BREAK IN
THE CIRCUIT
By KENO w. PUTNAM.


1t was the last performance of the
season, and Beppo's act was the last
number on the program Already
signs of weariness had begun to crop
out in the audience, but a buzz of ad-
miration swelled up as the great king
OF beasts came majesticaIly into the
big performing cage and faced his
trainer Beppo had nearly killed the
man only few weeks previously, and
his subsequent appearances before the
public had been rare and greatly ap-
plauded, though it was a question with
his keeper whether the applause was
quite agreeable to him. This night he
was very plainly out Of humor, and at
the very beginning of his act he
baked.
Maxwells shoulder was little sore
yet from the late encounter. and his
imagination quite vivid. Still, he un-
dertook to urge the dangerous brute
by sharply cracking his whip. The
hon only snarled al him, retreating a
little, sullen and determined. Again
and again the lash gave out its warn
ing snap. Beppo's warnings were fully
as vigorous and quite as easily under
stood.
Maxwell spoke a few hurried words
to the watchful attendants outside the
cage, and there was presently passed
into him a longer, heavier whip, a
chair and a revolver. The latter he
fired twice rapidly and then handed
out through the bars again. Beppo

not bulge an inch. Then the man ad-
vanced boldly into the center of the
arena, carrying the chair in front of
him. The lion shifted about uneasily.
circling at safe distance, but without
any show of repentance.
a hush fell upon the audience. II
was evident to all that this was not a
part of the acting. and it looked as if
a crisis might be rather close at hand.
The big brute was now between Max
well and the cage door.
Again Maxwell cracked his heavy
lash, this time very near the beasts
nose. 1t drew out Beppo's ire in the
shape of another snarl and a spring at
the whip. This added a good deal to
the dramatic effect of the situation.
but in every other respect the trainer
Plainly the man was getting somewhat
apprehensive. Still. he was game,
and perhaps a little angry withaL
Again his lash shot out, and this time
Maxwelfs arm went with il far enough
to carry it within landing distance
The point of the lash fell sharply upon
the big monarch's nose. Royalty had
been outraged, and with a roar the
huge brute charged upon his antagon-
ist Maxwell seized the chair by the
back and thrust it out in his oppon-
ent's face. The obstacle, slight as it
seemed. stopped him and sent him cir
cling about the cage, sullen and watch
full Again the lash just reached him,
and again he charged, until checked
by this simple barrier. Then Maxwell
blundered, either through anger or ex-
citement. With the brute so close to
his defense he struck again, and this
time good deal more than the tip of
the lash left its sting. Almost as it
fell, the huge paw shot out and, with
one sweep, struck the chair whirling
from the trainers hand. II crashed
upon the floor, a mass of fragments,
and exposed the man entirely to his
infuriated foe.
There was a great cry of horror
from the audience, quickly hushed by
warning signs from the attendants.
