All, the hckleneas Of men and lions:
us males are al lalike. List to the tale
OF Prince:
You should have known Prince in his
prime before sorrow entered his life.
There were those who would go into
the Ringing Brothers menagerie in
the old days and stand for hours before
his cage worshipping. He came from
Nubia, where he used to lord It over
the African desert and brighten nth
helmeted tourists out of their skins
with his roaring When the circus
trappers caught him in a pit and he
landed at the big shows winter quar-
tiers in Baraboo. Wis, the cage cowed
him for q while. Then his natural
royalty surged UP and he used to shake
the building and send his fellow crea-
lures Into Ats with his mighty voice.
He had jaws that could almost have
bitten a steel rail in two and a side
swipe that would have knocked a
champions block Off. And as for leon
Inc names! II he had been stuffed
you'd have said. There Amt no such
animal"
Then grief came knocking at his
cage door. Nellie was his mate and
for years they had loved and roared
together in their suite of barred apart
ments. But last winter Nellie died and
Prince ives inconsolable. He entered

swiftly toward the coast, some twenty
miles away.
Major Ramos came down the aisle,
laughing, and spoke to his American
proteges.
SWELL, what do you think Of that, Ell?
Imagins the feelings of those good
deputy marshals when they wake up.
! bet they'll rub their eyes,"
Miss Evans bounded excitedly in her
seat; she clapped hers hands.
"You must have friends in high
Places O'Reilly grinned, and the Gu
ban agreed.
"Yes, purposely drew attention to
us in Charleston, while our ship was
loading. She's ready and waiting for
us now: and by daylight we ought to
be safely out to sea. Meanwhile the
Dauntless has weighed anchor and is
steaming north, followed, I hope, by
all the revenue cutters herdabouts."
1t was the darkest time Of the night
when the special train came to a stop
at bridge spanning one Of the deep
Southern rivers. In the stream below,
| dimly outlined in the gloom, lay the
Fair Play, small trump steamer; her
crew were up and awake. The new ar
rivals were hurried aboard, and within
a half-hour she was feeling her way
seward.
With daylight, caution gave way to
haste, and the rusty little tramp be-
gan to drive forward for all she was
korth. She cleared the three-mile
limit safely and then turned south. Not
a craft was In sight; not a smudge Of
smoke discolored the skyline.
It had been trying night for the
f1librlsters, and when the low coastline
was dropped astern they began to
think Of sleep. Breakfast of sort
was served on deck, after which those
favored ones who had berths sought
them, while their less fortunate COM
panions stretched out wherever they
could find a place.
Johnnie O'Reilly was elated. AL
ready he could see the hills of Cuba
doing behind their purple wells; in
fancy he felt the fierce white heat from
close-walled streets, and scented the
odors Of "mangly" swamps. He heard
the ceaseless signing Of the royal
palms. How he had hungered for it
all; how he had ragged at his delays !
1t had seemed so small matter to
return; 1t had seemed so easy to seek
out Rosa ard to save her! Yet the
days had grown into weeks; the weeks
had aged into months. Well, he had
done his best; he had never rested
from the moment of Rosa's first ap-
peal. Her enemies had foiled him
once, but there would be no turning
back this time-rather firing squad
or dungeon in Cabanas than that.

upon q hunger strike against fate. Age
was creeping upon him-he was seven
teen-and there was no more hope.
Week after week he starved and moan
ed till he could hardly stand from
weakness and his ribs showed pitifully
thru his shrunken hide. The Ringing
Brothers boss animal man, William
Chambers, thought he would die. Lions
are like that" he said. 'Grief kills
them" Two weeks ago a student Of
natural history who had become inter
ested In Prince went out to the mena-
gerie tent to study he case. To his as
constituent he found the big fellow
standing erect and roaring like a young
volcano. His eye was bright again. his
ribs disappearing.
Whats happened to Prince?" asked
the student. Il thought was coming
to attend funeral, but it looks more
like wedding"
'Right-O" answered Boss Chambers,
See that coy young lioness in the sec
ond cage over yonder? She came a few
days ago and Prince has taken to his
ten pounds of beef-steak regular ever
since. See him look at her!"
And that's how it was. And that's
how it undoubtedly will be when Prince
