'That'n suit me first rate" said
Harry Lee.
Six weeks in the city, and at last
penniless, he had become desperate.
His landlady was threatening to turn
him out of the single room he occupied
unless he paid her the four dollars,
representing two weeks rental, by eve
ming. And Harry, who had been accus-
toned to good food, was singularly
empty.
What aggravated the situation was
that he had secured a position at twen-
ty-four dollars, to start in on Monday.
But this was only Friday, and he saw
no prospect of facing the ten days that
would elapse until he Grew his first

ty-siX one feels that way.
Harry was competent photographer.
He knew that within year he would
be making his thirty steadily. And the
firm that had interviewed him was of
the best in town. The problem was,
how to convince his landlady, or, in de-
fault, raise a few dollars for the neces-
saries of life. n....r.

advertisement offering twenty-five dol

not afraid Of animals, for one nights

He had been prepared to scrub the
kangaroo or feed the performing fleas,
but he was bit startled at being told
that it was to go into the lions den.

The scared and shrinking girl whom
Earry met looked about as much o
novice as himself. But it seemed the
policy of the fat man to keep them
apart until just before the circus
opened that night to admit the public
Then came the rehearsal.
Fearfully, the girl looked at the
three lions, seated upon their launches
and regarding them, in turn, with mel.

boldly in, and, as the lions took very
little notice Of him, the girl followed.

the girl entered the cage without a
