Dmples had sprung from her corner
straight to the shoulder of La Belle
and hung there with "the iron" fixed
in his breast.
There was no one who could say
they heard even a moan from La
Belle. The, animal men rushed up
with heavy irons to prod the ravenous
beasts. through the opening between,
the cage bars.
Then, more quickly than it takes
to tell. although in a space Of time
that seemed eternity to the suffering
La Belle, the rescuers prodded and
dubbed the snarling and fighting
beasts away from the PROSTATE form
of the girl
And while strong men with prod,
irons guarded the opened door, Flip:

little La Belle, bleeding from the deep;

Pandemonium reigned. The crowd

the insensible La Belle once more to-
the Hospital of the Good Samaritans,;
and they carried her into the same
room where she had lain in agony two
years before.
And the nurse who was there to at;
tend her was the same Mrs. Ridley
who had cared for her before. The
emergency service of the doctor in;
charge and the members of the hos,
pital staff soon had the still insensf-;
BILE La Belle as completely ministered,
to as skill and science could accom-;

Then Flip was admitted and close
by her bedside the sorely grievingt
clown sat for days and watched for
signs Of returning animation. :
One morning when Flip came softly,
into the room, Mrs. Ridley held up a:
warning finger for extra caution, and,

light-she seemed to be changing In;
her nature. Flip could almost imaginei
that he saw in her manner reminder
of the wild instinct of the tigers which
had twice almost killed her.

of almost, mad determination in her
face as. with revival Of strength:

Flip and Mrs. Ridley listened to ev-l
cry word she uttered, in low but firm
and resolute tones.
II must ask you, Mrs. Ridley, a.
pledge of secrecy. Twice you have
nursed me. Once you saved my life.!
But this time, fear your tender min;

MRS. Ridley, within a week after,

see that La Bellies face bore a smile
Of half.conscious recognition.
That day she gradually gained In
strength, until early in the evening
she was able to whisper to Flip:
Get Doctor Lund; tell him he must
come" and the weak pressure her
hand impaired as he held it in his
own, was enough to inspire the clown
to any task. .
The doctor was not at his Office
when Flip called, but he left word
with the attendant, asking Lund to go
at once to the hospital and see the
circus girl who had been SO nearly
killed by, her tigers.
Thinking best to tell an untruth and
save worry for La Belle. the real mes
sage he gave her was in effect that the
doctor was out of town, but, might be
expected to call on her the next day.
And the sleep and rest she had that
night gave her strength for the ordeal
that she must soon face-alOne.
When Flip arrived at La Bellies
bedside in the hospital next morning
he was greeted by Mrs. Ridley with
the remark:
Here is a letter I've just written
for La Belle, and I'm going to take 1t
myself to old Lund, and see If can

Flip in q kindly tone. must know
everything that goes on around here.
You must tell me all that happened"
And Mrs. Ridley handed the note to

you said you loved me, fate has de-

Mrs. Ridley left the room with the
note, while Flip sat by La Bellies bed
side as she slept. The hours passed.
and Doctor Lund did not appear. Mrs.
Ridley had returned with the informa-
ton that she had placed the note in
the hands Of the doctor himself.
La Belle finally asked that Mrs. Rid
ley bring, her writing material-for
she had a message to leave that must
be penned by her own hand. The let
ter finished, La Belle wrote upon the
envelope inclosing 1t these words:

eighteen. This letter and my child

Then she asked for Doctor Lund.
