panting. but madcmoiselle herself had

door. doubtless the principal entrance
to tho chateau. Mademoiselle had
probably gone that way.
Come, Frojacl' said |, and started
for this door.
But at that instant we heard rough
EXPLANATIONS and hasty steps behind us
We turned and drew sword. From the

TO do but 10 kill time who find out that
their husbands don't understand them,
and that they have missed their soul

Every mans dream is of being able

millions Of heroic and misguided men

hate could do a woman no deadlieI

her a chance TO be anything else but n
dressed up toy. When a man has a
selfish wife who ruins him by her ex-
travaganee il is likewise his fault be-
cause he has never taught her to think
of anything but herself.
Half the women in the world who ruin
their husbands by their wasteful spend
ing do il through sheer ignorance. They
have no idea of what their husbands
make and so they throw away money
that they would not dream of wasting if
they knew just how matters stood. They
have an idea that all men Crouch over
bills, and they do not know that their
husbands protest over an eXhorhltant
millinery hill is the cry of man whose
very life is being ground out between
the upper and neither millstones of
senseless spending.
And the other half Of women who ruin
their husbands spend as sort of revenge
because their husbands are more alb
sorbcd in business than they are in them.

Owing to the greatly increased
size of the circus, due to the impor-
tation of a shipload of feature acts
from Europe including troupes of
marvelously-tr trained lions. tigers,
polar bears, leopards and twenty
four performing stations. the man
agement found 1t necessary to elm
mate the street parade feature. II
thus saved six cars formerly devot-
ed to the parade and tableau wag-
ons anG traI tings. 1t is on these
cars, together with eight additional,
that the circus now carries the new
European features, including the
three mammoth steel-girted arenas
in which the trained wild animals
are exhibited. All this is in addi-
'tion to the regular circus program.

Gus is far and away the finest that
