ever. All he could do was to die as
gamely as possible. He tried to nerve
himself to set an example to the ruler;
he knew that on his behavior might
depend the lives Of hundreds of wom-
en- and children, shut up in lonely hill
stations within the Rajah's realm.
The tiger suddenly leaped. Lofts
lodged, ducked and fled away until
he came up against the glass partition.
He heard the laughter of the audi
ence; he heard the handclapping. 1t
was rare sport for them.
The tiger leaped again, and again
Lofts lodged it. 1t was curious, but
when he regained his poise the mon
ster seemed no nearer than before. It
circled round and round, as if it would
never weary of stalking him, the
saliva dripping from it's fangs, its huge
tusks projecting like an elephants.
Suddenly Lofts remembered that he
had his pocket knife in his trousers
With that-well, there was practically
no chance, but at least he could make
a better showing. He drew it out and
held it in his hand. 1t was large
pocket knife, but tiny weapon in
deed. If he could strike forcibly
enough to penetrate the monsters
hide and cut the blood vessels of the
throat! That was his only desperate
hope.
He, in turn, began to stalk the mon
ster, which seemed curiously evasive
in the dim light at that end of the
hall. Either some of the bulbs had
been turned out or he was growing
dizzy. He tried to steady himself.
He was drawing nearer to the creature
at every step, though they circled
about each other continuously.
He looked into the striped face, the
cleaning eyes, he read the murder i'm
pulse there, and suddenly it's mate
leaped up in his heart His fears left
him. With ringing shout he sprang
forward and dashed at the monsters
throat.
1t was gone. He fell with thud
against the glass of the wall. Stunned,
he dropped unconscious; yet even in
that instant he noted an extraordinary
fact that he had not previously dis
cerned
The monster had six legs, the extra
pair snugly tucked away under its
chin.
"Yes-O indeed, yes, we thank you
for a most entertaining exhibition"
said the Rajah to Lofts.
Lofts opened his eyes. He was
back in his apartment, and the Ra1ah
was bending over him with pleased
smile.
"You see," the ruler explained, my
people are very bitter against the
English just now. 1t was necessary
to give a spectacle-a show, you I'M
derstand, before they would consent
to my sparing your life and remaining
neutral in this war. That is nice
tiger, eh, Mr.. Loftis?"
He chuckled and doubled over.
mo tiger" he said. "Just orthop-
teris, you understand. Indian cricket,
shaped and striped like a tiger, but
only half an inch long. Looks very
much like a tiger, Ell, with a half inch

inc the Rajah's anger six months pre-
viously. He had, in fact, rescued an
unfortunate slave who was about to
he thrown to the Rajah's pet tiger.
The ruler had hated him cordially
ever since, and Lofts suspected what
fate was awaiting him.
He faced the king with steady eyes.
The Rajah smiled. Lofts did not
smile.
This means rebellion?" he asked.
The Rajah nodded. 20 yes, yes,
certainly" he answered. 'Will you
please come to my palace? 1t is nee.
essary to take care of you in the pres.
ent disturbed state of affairs, you
know. You will be very-er-com.
Portable there
Lofts, guarded by two soldiers of
the native army, followed in the wake
of the palanquin.
Arrived at the palace, he was es-
corted to luxuriantly-furnished suite
of rooms and left under close guard.
He spent the remainder of the day
there. He wondered what particular
form of cruelty the Rajah was de-
vising for him. From his impression
of the Rajah's character he assumed
that the pleasanter the preliminaries,
the more distasteful the sequence
would be.
On the following morning at day.
break he was aroused by two of the
Rajah's men and escorted toward the
throne room. Before reaching the en-
trance, however, his guard turned
aside and led him down a flight of
stone stairs that led into dungeon.
AS Lofts gazed about him in the
profound darkness, he became aware
that he was moving upward. The dun
geon was, in fact, a large edition of an
elevator. 1t stopped, and suddenly it
was flooded with light.
He looked up, to find himself in the
throne room. Before him, seated up
on a dais, was the Rajah, wearing a
benevolent smile, round the ruler were
gathered his chiefs and statesmen, all
intently watching the prisoner.
Lofts discovered that he was in
huge transparent cage, built presuma-
bly, of glass, but thick enough to have
the resisting power of steel. The cage
was circular, and beyond it the faces
of the spectators were perfectly visi-
BILE.
The glass was as conductive of
sound as all glass is. Lofts could
hear the applause, he wondered what
deviltry the Rajah was contriving.
Swiftly he knew, for he heard
snarl behind MIN, and, turning, per-
ceived the man-eating tiger within the
cage. At the same time he heard a
click, and an attendant scurried away.
The cage had evidently door, fit
ting so closely that it escaped detec-
ton. Through this the monster mad

fangs, confronting him.

him. Lofts turned too. Beyond the
tigers face he could see the interest.
