fastened the toy pistol in the
framework Of the wooden Scotty
and tied a string to it. Then I
put a cap into the toy pistol.
"Now," I said, wen set this
trap for Mr.. Lion"
So I carried the wooden dog
into the yard and placed him a
little distance from the shed and
brought the string leading from
the trigger Of the pistol into the
house through the window. Then
we waited for nightfall.
It was exciting, sitting there "a
the dusk and waiting for the first
howl Of our nightly visitor. In a
little while, far off in the dis.
lance, we heard his roar, and I
chuckled to myself as I thought
Of what was waiting for him.
Nearer and nearer came the
lion, and louder and louder grew
his roars. We looked through the
windows and saw him stealthily
sneaking nearer. You could hear
him snorting and grunting. tell
you, I was glad that 1 was on
the inside Of the house.
When in the moonlight Mr..
Lion saw what he thought wac
Scotty, he gave a terrific leap
and bounced on 1t.
Just then I pulled the trigger.
Bang" went the cap! Mr.. Lion
gave a terrified howl, jumped
into the air and then ran off as
fast as his legs would carry him.
How we laughed and how Scotty
barked!
That lion never bothered us
again.

w ES, a lion Is supposed to be
Y the king Of beasts. but in
- reality lions are towards.
All hunters will tell you that. I
wouldn't want to meet a lion fsce
to face to prove that to myself.
But it is said that they're
really cringing, skulking, cow
ardly animals. Even their gait
is cowardly-they don't walk up
bravely as some other animals
do, but stink along the ground
like a frightened dog.
I scared a lion once and he
was so. frightened that he never
bothered US again. I'll tell you
about 1t.
While we were living in Africa,
every night we used to hear
awful bowls around our cabin.
You couldn't mistake it because
1t was the roar Of a lion and
that's not a very pleasant sound
to hear.
1 didn't want to kill the lion
because I was taking pictures Of
wild animals out there, and I
was afraid that IL 1 shot him all
the other animals might hear Of
it and then they'd be afraid Of
me. So I tried to think UP some
way Of soaring him SO ha
wouldn't come roaring around at
night to startle us out Of a sound
slumber.
So hit on this plan:
Once Scotty, my beautiful collie,
had a narrow escape from being
chewed up by our friend, Mr..
Lion, so 1 decided that the lion
would be as much interested in
getting after what he thought
was Scotty as he would the real
dog. So 1 set to work.
I got my tools and some boards
and made a wooden frame about
the size Of Scotty and over this
I fastened the skin Of fox.
What fun we had making: 1t!
When we had it all set up, even
Scotty himself barked at It. 1

Brilliant Romance Dealing With
Stage Life, Illustrated by Charles
Dana Gibson.

NHEY met at a certain flower
store on Fifth avenue be-
cause it was just halfway
between Henley's club and the
telephone which Silver had used.
They dismissed one taxi and told
the driver of the other to go up
the avenue and round the park.
''You frightened me-" said Hen
ley. What has happened?"
It was not altogether truthful
20 say that nothing had hap
pened, but it was truthful enough.
II 'spect I'm silly and nervous
about tonight said Silver. "And
I just wanted to be with you
from now till then. Couldn't you
take me out to the Country Club
for lunch, and afterward we could
watch them shoot clay pigeons?"
His hand dropped lightly on
hers, and there remained for the
next forty-two minutes. And it
annoyed him very much to realize
that taxicabs have windows
through which inquisitive people
may see those who are riding in
them, and comment upon their
behavior.
When I'm with you," she
said, I'm not nervous or fright
ened about anything. And if I'm
going to make good tonight
ought to have q peaceful and
happy day"
Fair Prediction.
''You are going to have ire
mendous success" said Henley.
'And If you were anybody but
you I'd be terribly worried. Most
girls would get their heads
turned. and possibly sacrifice
their best young men upon the
altar Of arr"
II can't help longing to have
the biggest success that ever was.
But I'd much rather be driving
around in a taxi holding hands
with you. See. I'm not a bit
nervous any more"
She suddenly thrust her free
arm through the open window,
and waved to Mabel Reeves and
Sam Waring. They were strolling
slowly down the Avenue, Sam
talking a blue streak.
Looks as If Mabel had gone to
school for nervousness, too" said

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaelis-
A Bit Of Cheer.

~ ROTHERS who are wise and
hoary tell 30 many dismal
tales that at some blood
curdling story tits not strange my
courage fails. It's not queer their
confabs leave me with a fear Of
things to come; that their prophe-
cies all grieve me and their mem
cries strike me dumb. Taking
many a time-worn theory, such
as used to be o. K, they'll ex-
claim in accents dreary: "Ah,
but that has passed away" Folks
were strong for transmigration,
when the world was not so old;
others banked on transmutation,
making iron into gold. Theories
folks once thought were clever now
are wholly out of style. Men put
skids on them forever by a ques-
ton or a smile. After just little
scanning, there's no end to flaws
chaps see; Einstein smashed a lot
Of planning with his relatively.
Hence 1t keeps me feeling leery,
and I dare not say, That's so!'
for it seems that every theory to
the scrap heaps bound to go.
Other theories men may alter, time
may prove the whole works wrong;
but on this I'll never falter-earth

Who Occupies q Unique Position
In the Writing World As An
Authority On the Problems
of Girls.
By Beatrice Fairfax,

~ EARS ago / heard the story
of a great author who al.
most destroyed himself
through drink. Time after time
he "swore off'-recognizing that
the enemy he had entertained so
carelessly was destroying him.
But he never got beyond the sat
isfaction Of vowing to quit drink
land breaking his vows.
One morning when his valet
brought him the daily "pick-me-
up" the man said:
take it away. I've stopped
drinking"
When. sir?" gasped the badly
trained and sadly experienced
valet.
Now" replied the drinker
firmly. To-day. Just this min
ute"
In explaining the reform that
followed, the man who had hith.
orto been so weak, said:
when heard myself say, I
have stopped and it sounded like
an already accomplished fact, it
wasn't so hard. Making up my
mind I would stop didn't get me
anywhere, but saying had al
ready quit put the thing down so
definitely as signed and sealed
and delivered that I hadn't any

can't get it back and it has no
power to haunt you unless you of
your own choice give it that
power. Tomorrow never comes,

HOW TO LOSE
WEIGHT
BY Brice BeIden, M. D.

IF you are 10 per cent or more
in excess Of the average
weight for your height and
age, you should take steps to re-
duce, provided that any impair
ment of the kidneys, heart or
lungs has been taken into &C
count by your physician. There
are also certain diseases which
produce obesity and these have to
be properly treated in order to
make a safe and effective impress
sion upon the excess weight.
1t is not essential that selective
dietary restrictions be entered
upon. The simplest method Is to
cut the quantities Of everything
you eat in half, but keen on con-
Stunning a varied diet as always.
If you find that this does not pro-
duce a reduction. cut the quaint
ties further until a weekly loss
of weight is noted. This loss
ought not to exceed a pound and
a half a week.
If the reduction is too rapid
you will suffer from lassitude,
physical and mental weakness,
and pains in the joints and mus
Giles. Such symptoms are in part
due to systematic acidosis, BY
which is meant II lessened aka
Unity of the blood.
The idea that drinking water
has a tendency to increase the
weight is a fallacy. During a re-
duction cure the blood is unduly
charged with waste poisons which
require dilution and a speeding
up of elimination. Water effects
these things and is not a fattener.
Two quarts q day should be
taken.
Any sensation of emptiness
after meals can be obviated by
adding to the menu bulky articles
possessing but little nutritive
properties, such as cabbage, spin
ach, lettuce, celery and bran.
II the results Of such a reduc-
ton treatment are good, there
should be a marked improvement
in digestive power and in the
sense Of muscular strength and
agility. The process will be facili-
tated by exercise judiciously in
dulged in.
