Poor little Minetta, helpless and

that he was deeply infatuated with
her girlish beauty. So they were mar

And then-Giuseppe came back.
Blanco had taken advantage of the
raw youths ignorance to have him
shanghaied aboard q Chesapeake oys-

would kill him; instead of which he
had grown strong. He came back to

wife. Minetta.
Every trainer knows that the old
story of Daniel and the lions Ii true.
The lion fears . good man moro than
anything In the world. But let the
trainer drink or give way to any base
impulse and his power IL gone.
Az for Majolica and Betty, they
were mere kittens Of creatures, hard
ly larger than well-grown Newfound-
lands. And Parsifal, the tiger, was
old and toothless. Nero carried on
the honors In Blanco's menagerie. and
Nero was 90 magnificent Q Nubian
specimen that he would have made
any show respectable.
Minetta had noticed it. So had Gu,

and the apprentice had warned Blanco.
Blanco had laughed and sneered and
cut Nero across the face with his
heavy training whip. Nero retreated
growing and licking his paws; he
longed to sink their needle-like points
into Blanco's white flesh.
The truth was that Blanco had been
beating his wife. Minetta was only
nineteen and they had been married
two years. Blanco was forty-five. He
had found Minetta starving on her ar.

who came from her village, and to
whom she had been pledged ever since
they were children.
Minetta had missed Giuseppe. for
BlancO, having seen her photo

send Giuseppe astray. He trailed her
for three days until her money was
exhausted. Then he made himself

turned into the street.

her. II am Signor Blanco. No. dc

Giuseppe saw the bruise.
you have hurt yourself, Minetta!
he exclaimed What have you done!
Did you fall?"
Yes, l fell downstairs" sobbed
Minetta, shamefacedly. II she had
been a little older she might not have
been SO frightened. But Blanco was
all in the world to her; bad as the
man was. she loved him because she
had given herself to him.
Blanco watched her all the time.
Giuseppe began to notice it. First he
was indignant and thought Of taxing
Blanco with it. Then he waited, as
is the Italian nature. No good, he
knew, ever came out Of evil.
Blanco drank constantly. Nero
knew 1t. Nero was watching him az
quietly az he watched Giuseppe. The
climax was very near when Giuseppe
saw Blanco strike Minetta through
the open door of their tent.
He had been counting the receipts,
but now he dropped these and. draw

Blanco had gone into the lion house

Giuseppe fought the hardest battle
of his life that moment. At last he
conquered; raising Minetta's hand to

the collection box. He would leave
that afternoon; he would never see
Minetta again.
Minetta went into the lion house
presently. Blanco, who seemed par
ticularly amiable, called her into the
cage. She was not loath to go; she
was a better trainer than he.
Blanco caught his wife by the arm
