upon him, her head against his shoulder;
but she would hold herself.
And more. From one nerveless hand,
as it came round into Bill s range of vision,
there dangled the trainers whip.
Bill took the cue. Leaving Annie to
cling as best she might, he grasped the
prong in his left hand, the whip in his
right, and gave it a mighty crack.
"Hup!" he ordered-as nearly in An
nie's style as he could. "Hup! Hup!" then
imperiously tapped it on pedestal.
Rajah paused and looked at him in
surprise. "Well, What do you know about
that?" he seemed to be saying. He made
short rush at the pretender, snarling
horribly.
Somehow, Bill didn't mind his snarls
nearly so much as his furtive crawling.
He threw every atom of command he was
capable of into his voice and the stinging
crack of his whip.
II aOiH make him mind!" was singing in
his brain. II will! l will! 1 will!"
Over and over again he flattered him
self that Rajah was beaten. Then back
he came, splitting and snarling and making
ugly passes at the whip, trying to run in
under Bills guard and get at his legs.
His mechanical instinct told Bill that if
once he could force Rajah to mount his
pedestal with all four powerful legs
punched under him, he could risk a dash
for the door of the cage; for the tiger
would be in no position for an effective
spring.
Over and over again, man and beast
footed it round the cage, the man never
quite losing the upper hand, the beast
never thoroughly cowed. Big drops of
perspiration began to trickle down Bills
face. His throat ached with growing out
orders, his arm with the incessant snap
ping of the whip. He began to feel that
while this might be fun for the tiger, there
were limits.
Rajah, too, appeared to think it ap-
propriate to bring things to climax. He
gathered himself for savage rush.
Whether or not Bills hold was weak
ening, the tiger got in a blow on the
shaft of the stick that nearly paralyzed
Bills arm. His hideous snarling came al

limp figure from the floor, and swung it
swiftly behind him, holding it with tense
left arm.

= = tiger was coming back. Stealthily
now, like the big sneak he was, he came
crawling, belly to the boards. His eye
followed the iron point. Plainly, he was
in two minds about finging himself on
that again.
Shifting the stick, and watching the
beast maneuvering for a chance to get
past it, Bill felt a sickening doubt as to
how long he could keep up one-armed
fence with the brute, burdened with the
weight of an insensible girl.
He reckoned without the Signorina.
His heart turned fairly over in his breast

most in Bills face. A dreadful confusion
blurred his brain.
Annie! Would the brute get Annie,
after all?
At that instant a streak of fire flashed
out from under Bills right elbow, along
with an ear-splitting report. Annie had
answered.
When Bill fairly came to from the
shock, Rajah was disgustedly trying to
wipe away the smoke and powder of
blank cartridge fred full in his face. He
was stunned and chastened tiger.
And now it was Annies voice, low,
throaty, weak, but incisive, that ordered
@Hup" and Annie's hands on his shoul-
ders that drew Bill gradually backward
toward the door of the cage.
But it was all she could do. Bills foot
had to give the signaling stamp, his arm
the urgent crack of the whip.
Rajah swore little, chewed on the
sulphurous taste in his mouth and eyed
the pedestal askance. Once more, "Hup!"
cried Annie desperately. 1t was the last
order left in her.
Jaw, well, what's the use?" snarled
Rajah. And slowly, sullenly, he got up
on his perch. ~.
1t was Rajah's own keeper who slid
open the cage door and caught Annie as
she fell. He was as white as his collar,
and painting. He eyed Bill as he might
ghost.
Thought she was gone, sure!" he
gasped. Door into the passage was
locked, and it took me week to break it
in. The door guard ran away. How the
devil did you get in here?"
RUT Bill had no words to waste. Jeal-
ously taking Annie's limp figure into
his own arms, his eyes on the torn shoul-
der of her trainers coat, he began to stride
excitedly along the passage.
Bring us to a doctor!' he demanded
wildly.
And then, as the girls eyelids began
to futter, he stopped his mouth to her
ear.
"Me brave Annie-me brave Annie!" he
whispered. And the girl closed her eyes
again with a satisfied sigh.

Il Is all very well for your wife to feel
proud of her ability to prepare dinner
for eight in that kitchenette of hers
but consider the dining-car. Its kitchen
isn't nearly so large-in fact, it is nothing
but culinary cubby-hole; and yet, it
is so systematic in its workings, so efficient
in its broiling and baking and serving,
that it can turn out each hour more than
fifty elaborate meals. And the up-to-
date American dining-cars, remember,
for all that their kitchens are only four
by four feet, with square yard or so of
pantry thrown in, must be prepared to
deliver to the particular travelling pub
lie very wide range of variety in delecta-
BILE dishes. Anything from Apolinaris to
champagne, from sardine to roast
fowl, is likely to be wanted en- route; so
the latest type of diners must be prepared
to let you run the gamut of succulency.
The Last Word in Kitchen Efficiency
HOW the railroads of the United States
serve their sixty thousand meals per
day from these compact, snug little
kitchens on the diners is an interesting
tale. The reign of efficiency begins
when the car is stocked for the days run.
The meats, for instance-it would never
do to be obliged to carve portions of beef
and chicken while in the rush of the meal
hour. So, before the car leaves, its re-
frigerators are stocked with an estimated
number of portions, cut according to a
specified size and neatly wrapped in
waxed paper. This eliminates practi-
cally all carving in the diner. Even in
cutting cakes and pies efficiency holds
sway. Precise instructions cover the dis
section of every pan of pastry taken
aboard.
In the tiny kitchen and its adjoining
pantry, where the three or four chefs are

mind been single for Rajah, as Rajah's
evil mind was clear of all thought save of
her. In that psychological fraction of
second when she should have pushed her
advantage with eye and tongue and sheer
compelling force of will, one swift thought
of her old lover looking on flashed through
her mind. And in that fraction of a sec
ond Rajah leaped.
But not for his PEDESTAL Clearing the
fallen framework with one magnificent
bound, he launched himself straight for
the scarlet shoulders of the trainer.
She was quick, but the tiger was
quicker. Swift as light she darted aside,
and her whip flew out to catch the first
force of the impact-else there would be
no story to tell. The whip cramped the
style of Rajah's leap. But one of his great
paws caught in the cloth of the trainers

the steward sees that his delicious brook

or blue ink, the following magic legend:

The point is, of course, that the dining
car steward is enough Of a psychologist
to know that this will direct attention to
the dish and will promptly reduce his
supply. 1t is an extremely effective way
of conducting a catering service efficiently,
for it prevents the waste of perishable
foods which twenty-four hours later, per-
haps, the railroads would not allow to be
served from their travelling restaurants.
For the dinng-cars, as well as the big
hotels of the country, have particularly
strict sanitary code.
The pantry One-Step"
THERE are other efficiency schemes
that influence the contentment of the
traveller who dimes en- route. Did you
roads as they hurry back and forth from
the pantry to your table? They don't
merely walk, nor just run-they have
sort of efficiency dance-step.
1t is a fact that on one road-a road
that serves some eight thousand meals
day in its hundred-odd cars-the
walters are deliberately coached in what
the road officials sometimes call the
pantry one-step.H 1t had been found
that, in the rush and swirl of serving
many dinners on a car travelling sixty
miles an hour. the walters could make
better time and maintain a firmer bal

shuttle in getting around the car. 1t

it was adopted.
