THE LIONESS KNEW
BY JOHN BREWSTER.

Rita, the big lioness, had been act
ing in an ugly manner. They say that
lions can detect the character of their
trainers; that a drunken trainer is
In imminent danger of destruction
should he enter the cage. They say
too, that a good woman can tame the
widest beast. Perhaps that is a
legend, though.
Mademoiselle Charmeuse had been
born Lily Leigh. Her parents were
honest farmer folks way back in
Shawnee county. But there had been
a maternal grandfather who ran away
to sea. 1t is not boys only that in
herit the rowing disposition. When
she was seventeen Lily had shaken
the dust off her shoes at the (back)
entrance to the farm and departed in
the wake of travelling show, to grad
uate as Mademoiselle Charmeuse. the
world-famous equestrienne. After
ward, when business prospered and
the show increased in size and aspira-
tons she became Mademoiselle Char
meuse, the renowned Iion-tamer.
Some folks think circus people are
almost as bad as gypsies. That is not
the case. There are no more moral
and respectable people alive. Nobody
had ever breathed word against
Mademoiselle Charmeuse's reputation.
Goldini, the proprietor, and the moth
erly Madame Goldini, treated her like
a daughter, even if they had picked
her up in an illegal manner, struck
by her pretty face and daring. But
when Madame Goldini grew too stout
to continue to tame the lions, and re-
signed herself to looking after the
welfare of the circus troupe, in COM
Portable middle life, Mademoiselle
Charmeuse was thrown much more
in touch with Goldini
1t was her task, together with Nero,
the big Dalmatian, to put the lions
through their PAGES at every country
place where they exhibited. Goldini
himself seldom entered the lions cage
nowadays. He was growing fat, like
his wife; besides, the lions had begun

CATCHING the Citrate,

The bachelor community Of a GER
tain suburb was greatly scared by the
advent Of fearsome type Of the des-
perate misunderstanding spinster
After throwing each Of the local
bachelors into ecstasies Of terror lest
he should be the recipient Of her at
tentions, the lady finally managed to
capture the curate. Local bachelor
dom was so immensely relieved at its
escape that 1t united in presenting the

to appear restless under his lash. Col
DIM knew what was the trouble. He
knew it in his own soul. He loved
Mademoiselle Charmeuse.
The girl, always responsive to the
kindness of the couple, was staggered
at the unmistakable display Of the
fact that Goldinis interest in her was
no longer paternal. Love had never
come into her life. How could it?
What had she in common with the
crowds of gaping farmers boys who
stared at her in her short skirts and
spangles, or followed her with moon
calf protestations of devotion? She
was as much alone as though she
dwelt on desert island.
Goldini loved her, and, in her pres
ence, the mans own crushed nature
fourished He had been destined for
better things. He was a university
man; he had been in the Italian army,
though none knew this intimate Sc
cret of his past. He had been lieu
tenant and had fought in the Ill
starred Abyssinian expedition, where
he was cashiered for cowardice. The
sight of the yelling tribesmen had
been too much for his nerves; he had
ridden away, leaving his men to face
humiliation. That was dark and
bitter secret.
Yet he had never feared wild beasts.
In Abyssinia he had learned to handle
lions; he had shot them at 20 PAGES
without a tremor of fear. 1t is easy
to be a lion-tamer On his arrival in
America he had promptly stepped into
a position with no other applicants,
and graduated to show Of his own
by marrying the proprietress. A good
man, Goldini, a worthy citizen-but
he had never lived, since his arrival
in America, or loved, till now.
The girls innocence her beauty, ap-
pealed to him strongly. A little, half
starved thing when he met her, wild
mountain girl with aspirations above
her station, he had taken her in part
In pity, part on account of a business
sense Of her value. Now that he and
she were thrown 80 much together, he
knew that he loved her.
And the girl loved him. She seized
this first love to her heart and lived
in it. No matter If Goldini was near
ing forty, and she but twenty-three.
The consciousness of each others love
was in every word and gesture.
Only they and the lions knew. and

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

What is known in the Christian Year
as Holy week will commence on Sun
day 1t presents unusual opportunity
to the Church for magnifying the Cross
of Christ and it is finding wider obser-
vance in our Church each year The
Church has lost much in the past by
neg!ecting the observance of this sea-
son. We need to keep fixed times
and appointed times of observance, as
truly as to be in holy impulse; to keep
prescribed periods in duty as truly as
TO have a spirit of duty; to be in the
drill OF observance as well as in the
liberty of faith"
During His last week" we will hold
services every evening, commencing at
s O'Clock We will not attempt to con-
slider the events of the Holy week in
order. but will gather around the Cross
and keep our watch there with Him for
one little hour every evening. Sunday
is known as Palm Sunday 1t is the
day of Jesus's Kingship and commem-
crates our Lords Triumphal entry in

purposely planned Royal procession
and it was the hour of His brief

1t would seem to us that for the
small amount Of additional tax which
each one would be required to pay
even if the maximum amount of mon
ey was raised that no one should vote
against the question If they thought
that as result of same the growth
and welfare of Julesburg was to be
retarded. There are probably peo-
pie in Julesburg who have all the
private reading that they desire but
these same people should stop and
think when they go to their library
and take down book of reference
or late fiction and spend many pleas
ant and profitable hours that there
are many others who are not so fav-
orably situated and to them Public
Library would mean much.
1t does not mean that voting for
this proposition means that a large
amount of money is to be raised and
spent in the coming year but it does
mean that if the proposition carries
that stayt will be made in the right
direction 1t means that if the Trus-
tees do not think it advisable to vote
next year for the full amount of mon
ey necessary to start library they
can at least levy small amount and
this money can be put aside so that
in few years at least creditable
library can be opened up with COM

he would be a candidate for reappoint-

II. Thompson. who has efiiciently fill
ed that Office for two terms today made
the following statement to the Grit
Advocate.
"In the year 1911 at the request OF
Mr. Z. F.. Clayton and DR.. c. W. Rook
I allowed my name to come before the
Board Of Trustees of the Town of
Julesburg. as a candidate for the posi-
ticn of Town Clerk to take the place of
Mr.. c. NJ Robson, who had efficiently
served the Town in that capacity for
two terms. feel now, as did Mr.. Rolf
son at that time, that have done my
share of the work in that office.
am glad to have had the oppcrtun-
ity of serving the Town of Julesburg
as its Clerk for the past two and one
half years and have been greatly
interested in the work and the prob
lens which have from time to time
confronted the Board. / believe they
! have given the People of Julesburg q
conscientious. economical administra-
tion. l believe that the candidates on
the Taxpayers ticket will give Jules
burg continuance of the good service
we have had in the past; they stand
for the advancement of the Town along
sane, legitimate and economical lines.
1t is impossible for one to fill a pub
lie Office for any length of time with
out causing a certain amount of criti-
| cfsm from certain class of people.
To avoid criticism one must say moth
ing, be nothing, do nothing.
A very few of the men who for reas-
ons of their own, are endeavoring to
further the cause of those opposed to
the Taxpayers Ticket. l understand,
| are trying to gain few votes by Gre
ating the impression that / have been
promised the Office Of Town Clerk by
the candidates on the Taxpayers Tick
ct. In order that they may not waste
time on such proposition, and devote
themselves to more profitable enter
| prisos, wish to state that no candi-
date ever promised me the Office of
Town Clerk at this, or any other cleo
tion and that am not candidate for
| the Office nor will accept it under
any circumstances.
l have enjoyed my work while in the
office, have given it my best efforts
and know that my successor will find
in the work plenty to keep him busy
