THE LIONESS
By Elsie Norris.

GATHER has explained it all with
complete satisfaction to himself.
4 He has told me many times
that my sub-consciOUsness came to the
top, and I lived in a world that had
no real eXistence-that 1 was, as it
were, in a dream, although still awake.
/, viii state Just what happened and
| you can judge for yourselves.
went that afternoon with my father
and another professor to a large mena-
gerie that was making a stay in the
town.
I played for a while with quaint
little monkey. fed the elephant, then
drew up at cage where big lioness
was pacing round and round restlessly
with a tiny cub in her mouth
Ever and again as the big head
came close to the bars, the little
dangling body was brushed against
them, and 1 feared the little creature
would be hurt expressed that opinion
to an attendant who was thrusting
straw into the next cage.
NO, she won't hurt it" he said.
she can't see Yet. The cub is only
four days old, and the old liOness is
always blind II days after her cubs
are born"
I shivered-there was something ter
rible in the great head with those fixed,
useless eyes, and something pathetic,
too.
Suddenly she looked up, gave a
rumbling grOwl, and rolled to her feet
her whole body tense.
You here now, OldGTOman, are yOu2'
a voice behind me said with a laugh
and a man pressed up to the barrier.
The nOneSs grOWled again, her tail
lashing to and fro
Know me, too, don't you2' the man
asked teasingly. He was short thick
set individual, with a low forehead,
square jaw, and hard eyes.
The big cat suddenly gave a roar
and sprang at the bars, tearing at them
with a fury that was terrifying, her
great laws open. The other lions all
over the tent Joined her, and for a time
the uproar was deafening.
The man with the hard eyes only
laughed.
your he said "Au right, man. I'm
not teasing the animals"-tO an attCn-
dant who hurried up prOtestingly.
'Old Betty only remembers me, that's
all I'm the man who captured her and
brought her over
But she can't see you, can she?'
asked invOluntarily.
No but she can smell me right
enough She'd have me in little pieces
in less than no time if only she could
get at me"
But why does she hate you 500"
His hard face hardened yet more.
she was a bad-tempered brute right
from the first. Managed to maui me
twice, and I had to give her something
just to teach her to mind me And
she'll never forget that You can take
it from me that practically all so
called tame animals hate their tanners
like poison"
The great animal appeared to be in
a state of frenzy, dashing her body and
head against the bars.
why don't you go away and leave
the poor brute alOne@' 1 said indig-
nantly.
He only laughed at my words, but a
minute after one of the trainers asked
him to leave. and with last jeer at
the frenzied liOness, he went.
Gradually the animal Gained down,
and when I left her she was lying ap-
parently in a state Of exhaustion, her
blind eyes still wide open.
On the way home my father and his

/ servatiOns that had been made, but I
/ remember none of it. They have since
told me that they addressed me many
times, but could get no answer
have no clear recollection of any
thing, except that before me all the
time was the head Of the HOness and
her tragic eyes.
What I saw later I actually saw
with my physical visiOn-yOu must I'M
! derstand that.
1t was about 10 o'clock when had
a dreary evening of chess with my
father, that 1 slipped out to say good
night to my dogs and birds. and call
ing Beauty, my big bulldog, I set on
for a walk along the river.
I must have been walking for some
minutes, when Beauty suddenly gave
little whine and crOuched back. My
hand was on his collar at once. fearing
he was about to fly at a strange dog
as yet invisible to me. But he seemed
in frightened rather than a fighting
mood, and crOUched there whining and
shivering.
He whimpered again.
And then in a CLEAN of moonlight,
I saw what was the matter.
There, standing by my side, the
moonlight falling on her glazed eyes,
was the Ioness.
I felt no sensation Of fear, but over
me again flashed that feeling OF anger
against the man who had trapped her
into captivity, condemned her to
life that was misery, and added to his
sins by tOurturing her.
She moved on again I walked on
with her. my hand on her great head,
and as we walked I knew where we
were going
the hard eyes-tO track him down at
last.
Which way we went I do not know.
We must have kept along by the river
for some distance, because L have
sense Of being near the water.
Tt was not until we came upon the
man that I seemed to come back to the
human. He was just coming out OF
hand, evidently for water.
He turned and looked at Us and I
saw black terror flash into his eyes,
paralyze his limbs, render him stin and
helpless.
When the great animal leaped at him
he went down like a log.
Next morning when the news Of the
finding Of the dead man spread through
the town, I told my father all knew.
He was seriously perturbed, and went
at once to the menagerie, to return
later, much relieved with the news
that the liOness had not escaped, but
was still in her cage with the cubs in a
state of half stupOr.

And what is more, the man was not
killed by any savage animal at all
There are marks on his throat Tor
which the doctors cannot account But
they are not the marks -of teeth or
claws. No liOneSS at ALL
I was silenced. But 1 want to know
many things. How was it that I knew

the cottage and empty pail all OF
which details were quite cOrrect2
Why was Beauty so frightened2
Why was he restless and nervous for
days-my brave dog, who has never
before been afraid of anything
1t may be that what he and I and
the man saw was but a wrath of the

it.

OROZCO, SENIOR, IS
NOW A FREE MAN
Freed Twice in Same Day on Extradi-
tiOn Case-MeXican Government
Fails to Produce Evidence.


Fails to Produce Evidence.
Holding that PaScual OroZco, ST., was
not held on any complaint, judge A NJ
Walthal, of the 41st district court,
Thursday afternoon ordered him re-
leased from the custody of sheriff Pey-
ton j. Edwards. following the filing Of
habeas corpus proceedings filed in that
court.
After failing to produce evidence in
the federal court in support of the
charges brought against him there, af-
ter holding OrOZcO in the county jail
for 40 days, the Mexican government
sought to have the defendant eXtradited
through the state courts in pursuance
to the treaty of the border states, but
judge Walthan declined to be party
to it.
The attempt to hold Orozco in the
custody of state officers, after he had
been released by the federal authorities
on the same charge, was on orders from
governor COlquitt. Governor Abram
Gonzales, of Chihuahua, had asked Col
quit to hold OrozcO for eXtraOitions
there being q special treaty by which
governors of border states may deliver
up prisoners However, no formal com
plant had been made against Orozco,
and Judge Walthall declined to hold
him. Previous jeopardy would have been
pleaded in the event that a formal
charge had been made, as OrOzcO had
already had a hearing in federal court
and had been released.

Spent an hour relating jokes
And then hustled out to lunch
Hustled hack at half-past two

There is apt to be a little truth and
great deal that isn't true in both
sides Of a story.
Many a mans bad luck is due to the
fact that he has neither inherited abil-
ity nor acquired industry.
The crOWning glory Of the modern
woman is possibly a few strands of her
own and a lot of bargain counter hair.
Marriage is never a failure when the
contracting parties have sense enough
to settle down and try to make the best
of it.
1t sometimes happens that women
worship a long haired man, but did
you ever hear Of a bunch Of men 60
ing daffy over a short haired woman =?
A crazy person thinks every one else
is insane, and love is blind because it
imagines everybody else is.

COFT-HEARTED- BY GEORGE Ell CT.
- NESS Author Of "At Good Old Siwas6'

- OFT-HEARTEDNESS Is a condition
~ of the human sympathies, ranging
from a lofty virtue to a devastating
vice.
Soft-hearted people are tender and are
subject to severe pain. A marble heart
cannot be damaged by love or dynamite
but soft heart can be wrung like a wet
towel, causing the owner thereof to yell
with agony and 90 to extreme measures
for relief Many a go pound man with
overhanging shoulders and seven pounds
of Jaw has a heart which can be tied
into a knot by sick baby or a suffer
ing dog.
Soft-heartedness is a great trial and
vast expense. 1t costs some men
thousands Of dollars a year to protect
this sensitive organ. When man has
granite heart reinforced with steel
bands he can 90 happily through life
getting richer every dav, but the man
with the toothaehy heart IS lucky if he
saves anything at all. Just about the
time ne gets an extra dollar run down
and cornered he discovers someone who
needs it more than he does and his heart
aches and throbs until the only way he
can get relief IS to give up the dollar.
Soft hearts are ruinous in business. A
man with a soft heart can't even fire
s. clerk with a family and hire a girl
clerk for 81 with any comfort.
Some people have hearts so soft that
they not only cannot endure suffering
among the innocent, but the pain of the
guilty makes them writhe and yell for
relief They bleed for the poor varmint
who clubs his wife to death and can get
no rest for thinking of the unfortunate
child heaters and loan sharks and holdup
men, who are confined in cruel prisons.
