heard of the great shaggy beast
Sander, and the danger of it had
not occurred to her. Now, with
her limbs like lead, her hands
clammy, her, head swimming, all
she could think of was Donna's
warning "the' cats always get
them sometime"
That Sander purred like a kit
ten and seemed to love the
touch of Cons hand meant moth
ing. He would be sure to hate
her! tie would sense her fear.
lOh God, she couldn't do it!
Con turned, beckened to her
and unlocked the cage door. -.
"Come on" he said. Quick"
The magic of her love for him
moved her weighted limbs. When
the door changed behind her and
she realized that she was enclos-
ed behind iron bars with three
huge, vicious beasts that could
Irend her into tatters with one
stroke of clawed paws, cveryth-
ing went black before her.
She caught Cons arm and
chung to him, not for protection
but to keep from falling. The
cage seemed to rock as though
it were being tossed about on
the pillows of a stormy sea. She
tried to do as Con whispered, to
look at the cats. But she couldn't.
She felt that the beasts knew
her terror and if she looked at
them they would spring upon
her.
Her wavering gaze focused up
on the bars. They danced Graz
| lily, came towards her, receded,
twisted and writhed.
STEADY" Can whispered.
"Steady. Eyerything's fine"
Then he called. "Carlo. Come,
Carlo"
The yellow beast cringed, SUNK
backward. Con called again. this
time with rasping command.
The cat snarled, lashed its tail.
Madeline's muscles tautendd.
Then the lion started to draw
nearer, his body flattened until
| his shaggy stomach rested upon
! the floor. Madeline could feel
| his fetid breath, smell the rank
odor of him and her reeling
senses seemed to CONCEAL.
Suddenly the animal retrcated,
crouched and emitted blood
cvudling roar. Con smothered an
oath, thrust Madeline from him,
! TANNED his chair full in the face
of the beast and with his free
hand unattached the door.
"Gct out" he muttered. Get
out. Back out! It's your smell!"
Somehow she contrived to do
as he commanded. On the steps
her legs caved in like jelly, the
fog of black nausea swept her
along with it, and she did not
know what occurred until long
afterward.
She revived with her clothing
soaked with the water that Con
had thrown in her face. She
burst into tears and sobbad her
contribution. ooh, Con. Pm so
sorry! | never tainted before
in my life. But l was so scared.
| never knew any one could be
so scaredw
"You were fine" he assured
her. "Carlo got nasty, but
everything is going to be all
right. Maybe l rushed you into
it too soon. Well go slower and
in a weeks time you'll be play
ing with the old boy. See if Won
aren't. Next time you won't be

Donna Gabriel and Madeline
Siddal who call themselves "The
Gabriel Sisters" are circus per-
formers. Years earlier Madeline
ran away from her grandfather's
home.
When Donna is injured in fall
from the trapeze Madeline ar
ranges for her to be taken to
Grandfather SiddaPs farm. To
please her partner Donna pretends
to be Madeline. She falls in love
with Bill Siddal, Madeline's cous-
in, and though she is ashamed of
deceiving Bill and Grandfather she
is afraid to tell them the truth.
Meanwhile Madeline marries
Con David, animal trainer with
the circus. He tells her he is going
to put her in his animal act.
NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
I CHAPTER XIV
Con produced a pair of leather
trousers, leather leggings and
a heavily padded leather packet
from one of his trunks. He gave
them to Madeline and told her
to put them on.
! "Tuck your hair under this
cap" he added. "There's never
been woman in the cage with
old Sander and Leo and don't
know what their reaction will
be, so we'll take no chances"
He did not wait to hear what
Madeline might say, but strobe
off to give some instructions.
The great, gilded cage that hous-
ed three African lions was pull
ed into the arena and small steps,
mounting to the door, were plac-
ed beside it.
While Madeline dressed, cold
perspiration poured from her
body. She felt so physically i'll
that she wondered if she could
walk from the dressing room to
the "big top" let alone enter
the lion cage. Nothing but the
fact that she knew half the crew
was standing by, with amused,
incredulous grins on their faces
and bets that she would never
do it. induced her to step out
of the little dressing room at
all.
Con met her halfway across
the arena and smiled approval
at her. "There's not a thing to
be afraid Of" he said. "a child
could pet those babies and not
be hurt"
She managed wan smile anC
tried to walk steadily beside him
but her courage did not increase
when she realized he was going
into the cage unarmed anc
that none of the men who casu
ally stood close at hand with {
revolver, in case a beast should
become refractory, was present
"Stand by" Con said, "anc
when l call, come in the door"
He picked up a chair, mount
ed the stairs, turned the key il
the lock, opened the door a triflt
and slid his body through, slam
ming the door tightly after him
Waves of nausea swept ovel

she had watched him do Thu
thing. Hundreds of times sh'
had seen him stroke the head AM

on with this? How can he take
it this way?"
Before dinner time every one
in the circus knew of the mel
dent. Con David had forced his
bride to enter the lion cage and
had tainted when Carol attack
ed her. The accounts OF what
actually had happened were gar
bled in a dozen different ver-
sions.
Most of the women were IN,
dignant. Madeline was an arelal
artist and what business had Con
trying to put her into an animal
act? Every one couldn't control
wild beasts.
Their opposition famed Made
lines pride. 81 don't suppose
any one was ever exactly joyous
when he first went into a lion
cage" she exclaimed. "But l
wasn't so awfully afraid either.
| hadn't slept all night, for one
thing, and | wasn't feeling ace
high. That's why l tainted. l
knew there wasn't any real dam
ger with Con beside me. If there
had been he wouldn't have let
me do it."
As usual Con resented inter-
ference from outsiders and said
brusquely when she told him of
the delegation that had approach
ed her with advice. "Tell them
to mind their own business. Every
one of them does an act that is
just as dangerous. | haven't ask
cd you to tickle Lucy under the
chin yet"
No one but Madeline knew how
she suffered during the two
weeks that followed. No one
ever knew of the nightmares that
made her sleeping hours a VERT
able hell. A thousand times be-
tween midnight and daybreak she
endured death in the jaws OF
Sander or Leo or Carlo.
Again and again she relieved
the moments that seemed like
centuries when she entered the
gilded cage and learned to stand
without flinching, before the
slathering Jaws and lashing tails
of the Jungle cats. The night
after she first faced Lucy, the
Bengal tiger, she ierked with
hiccoughs until daylight and VOW,
ed that never again, though il
lost her the man she loved
would she enter the cage witt
the tiger. But she did it. Agar
and again she walked through
the iron-barred door and moi
even Con realized what it cost
her.

to agree with him, but she knew
that, given the opportunity, the!
would rend her limb from limb.
Above everything in the worlt
Con cherished his reputation fo
fearlcssness and his ability II
control the beasts. He was Obsess

Adult Classes To
Begin Fall Term
Here October ]
Academic And Vocational Sub.
jects To Be Offered Under
Relief Plan

The County will continue the adult
classes beginning October 1st. A
number of Adult Glasses were car
ried in the County last year and
provided work for about % teachers
and enrolled upwards of 1900 differ
ent persons sometime during the
year.
The funds for the classes from the
Government Emergency Relief Pro-
gram. The regulations require that
at least 10 persons enroll for class
to continue. The academic school sub
jects, art, music, recreation, voca-
tional subjects, home making courses,
and the like indicate the range of
possibilities of course offerings.
The time, place and enrolment di-
rections will be issued later.
The Adult Classes represent very
important movment in extending the
field of Education and in the leisure
hour or recreational program sup
piled by the classes. Both of these
movements are in keeping with the
present tendencies. There is every
indication that the interest in the
Adult Glasses for this year will
greatly exceed last year.

Slot Machines Will
Have To Be Disposed
Of In This County

Warnings are being issued to coun-
ty merchants by Montgomery County
police that slot machines must go. The
police were instructed to get rid of
these machines following a statement
made last week by States Attorney
Stedman Prescott.
The States Attorney said that he
believed most of the merchants were
not aware that they were violating
the law and he felt it best to warn
them before attempting prosecutions.
Mr.. Prescott said:
II realize that merchants who have
cooperated so splendidly in the past
in keeping themselves within the law,
are not aware that these machines
violate the same and consequently, in
accordance with our strict policy to
keep this county absolutely free from
gambling and vice, l have requested
the chief Of police to have his officers
notify everyone who has slot
machine on his premises.
rWe will wait a short time after
this notice goes out and then anyone
operating one Of these machines will
be prosecuted. The violation of this
law carries severe penalty as well
as providing for confscation of the
machine"
