And now. at last, Fran looked at the
spectators. Stepping lightly to the

cried. with vibrating earnestness,

arrangement, the audience rose TO it's

Such waving of hats and handker-

had gone mad with joyful relief
Fran leaped upon the table, and
mounted Samson.
Now, I'm a rough rider!" she
shouted, burying her hands in the
name, and lying along the lions back
in true cowboy fashion. She plunged,
she shouted loudly. but Samson only
closed his eyes and seemed to sleep.
After that, making the lions return
to their cramped side cages was a
mere detail. The show was ended.
Fran, remaining in the empty cage.

through the bars to receive the greet

Clearly. she decided. the sight of
Frans fearful danger had unbalanced
his mind. But how could he care SO
much about that Fran? And how
could he leave her. knowing that Rob-

upward with eyes fastened upon her
face?
But it was not the sight of Fran's
danger that had for ever alienated
Gregory from Grace Noir. In an in
