While we were re- hearsing my manuscript was sent back to me- They said that the woman in 1t was not real and asked if I could get real woman in 1t; if so, lt would be good play. All the time we were rehearsing I was studying you and writing, and before we left New York I had practically rewritten my play. So, you see, that is why want you to play the leading part"
 It was a few minutes before Dora was really able to join in the cOnver- satiOn. ..t
 "But you have never told me the story, and yet you say that you have altered the leading part to make 1t look like ue."
 He only wanted that invitation ts plunge into his recital, and what had been intended as a formal lunch drift ed into an all afternoon session. He talked to her about his play and his ambitions and she of her ambitions and the things she would like to do, and finally they separated, he to make ready his play and she to wait at Len- OK for the call to rehearsal.
 Thus began a partnership which was destined vitally to affect both their ambitious young lives.

Photoaraphina . Panther.

A panther Is not easily killed and will often revive with very unpleasant results, as on certain occasion in the Deccan. He appeared to be quite dead, and one of the spectators rushed up with camera on q stand to obtain a picture of the supreme moment. He got his photograph, and, strange to say, 1t survived what followed, but no sooner had he taken it than the pan ther revived, tore himself loose and went for the photographer. Somehow the man escaped, but the camera was sent flying, and, disconcerted by his encounter with it, the panther turned and made for the nearest tree, up which he went as quickly as a mon- key. Now, the tree was crowded with interested spectators, and for three or four strenuous seconds until the pam ther was shoh we enjoyed a spectacle of natives dropping to earth with loud thuds like ripe plums from jungle plum tree as the panther approached them.-Wide World Magazine. ..

BULL BATTING.
A Brutal Sport" That Was Popular In
 Former Days.


 Former Days.
 The principle of bull batting was ex- tremely simple. A collar was flsten- ed round the bulls neck, and b. this the bull was attached by rope to a stake. The rope varied from Ii ne to fifteen feet in length and therefore al- lowed the bull but little movement. The audience was accommodated in a circle or ring"
 The bulldogs duty was to gra D the bulls nose, and when he had succeed ed in obtaining a grip he was required to maintain his hold, despite tle ef- forts of the larger animal to dlslodge him. The bull awaited the attack with lowered horns, which the dog sought to evade by crouching toward the head of his opponent. Sometimes the bull managed to get his horns under or into the dog, which was then thrown high into the air.
 Writers state that dogs had been tossed up to height of thirty or forty feet. The dog, if he survived, would retire hurt" On the other hand, once the dog, which was trained to grip only the nose, obtained a hold his adver- sary would have little chance of shak- ing him off. The bull would whirl the dog in the air and struggle frantically to wrench his nose free from the ter rible grip. When, from sheer exhaus- ton, the dog dropped clear of the bull fresh dog was sent into the ring.

TENNIS MEN TO TRY FOR CUP
PreIiminarIes May he Played in Eng
land This Year.

NEW YORK, March BIT is more than
likely that F. G. Anderson, w. A. Larned
and F. B. Alexander will join DR.. James
Dwight, r, d. Wrenn and w. j. Clothier
on the committee to arrange for the
matches for the Davis lawn tennis chal-
lenge cup. So far as is known, England
and America will be the only challengers
Of Australasia for the cup, and 1t is the
contention Of the English that the pre-
liminaries should be played this year in
England, as they were held in America
last year. There Is. however, a belief that
both preliminaries and finals should be
played in Australasia.
1t has been decided to hold the matches
on the courts at Christ Church, New Zea-
land. The matches last year were at
Sydney, and the previous year at Mel
bourne. Another possible change may be in
the personnel of the defending team, as
both Anthony F.. Wilding and Norman E.
Brookes have signifed wish to turn over
the safeguarding of the cup to others,
wilding is almost sure to be out of it, as
he is now in Europe. The two to take their
places are A. w. Dunlop and r. w. Heath,
both Victorians, who have shown excellent
form in championship competitions.
Another feature of the American arrange
ments this year is the probable defraying
of the teams expenses by subscription
among the clubs. This was done in 1906,
the year Frederick G. Anderson was in
charge of the team. 1t is part Of the pro-
gram this season to have the team selected
as early as possible so that the challenging
players may obtain the greatest amount OF
practice together.

there is no secret made of the fact that the

battle in the history of base ball to win

string pitchers are not usually good cold
