Politeness and consideration are rare articles in a circus crowd, but Senobia, “the queen of tightrope walk ers,” as she was billed, had no reason | to complain in this respect. Every- }body treated her with the greatest politeness and respect, though she was the youngest and poorest paid of us all. Strange it was, however, the one who showed her least respect was the smartest of the whole company. It was not because he thought him- self so far above her, but because he loved her more than any of us did, passionately, and therefore sel- fiishly. The rest of us ocould feel happy a whole day when Senobia had spoken a few kind words to us, but he, Stavarta, “champion juggler of the world,” would not even have heen | satisfled had she given him her whole soul, We were in Pittsburgh. The circus '| was crowded with people, and every- body was anxiously watching for the appearance of Senobia. When we arrived in town, the direc. ! tor of the circus, greatly to his an- noyance, had discovered that it was impossible to fix Senobia’s rope proper- ly with the safety curtain underneath. Then came the fatal night. As usual, I was standing underneath watching her every movement. She was just ready to walk across the rope the third time, carrying a Jap- I anese parasol, when I suddenly discov- ered that the rope was sagging and that Senobla walked backwards to the place from where she had started. At this moment the audience shud- dered. I looked up, the rope had be I:un to swing violently. It was not i Senobia who did this—she had all she could do to keep her balance. It was caused by something at the other end i of the rope, and true enough, there on | the other platform sat “Goble,” the | big gorilla, crouching and shaking the rope with its big powertul fists, As fast as my legs could carry me {I ran to the nearest door leading to' { the gallery. To get to this I had to | pass by the monkey cage, and here I | stopped, belleving for a moment that I must have gone mad, for in the cage, I which was strongly bolted, sat the big | gorilla. And still I had seen it only l a few seconds before at the other end of the building, I rushed towards the stairs leading to the gallery and suddenly I heard somebody coming down in mad haste. A suspicion entered my mind. I hid myself quickly and watched. A mo- ment later a figure in red tights ran past my hiding place towards the gorilla’s cage. It was Stavarta. “You miserable beast!” he roared at the ape. “I wish I could kill you!” He ran away from the cage, looked about cautiously and disappeared. A moment later a number of people came running towards the cage, pale and excited. 2 “What a hero Stavarta is,” cried the ringmaster. “But for his courage and presencé of mind the mad beast might have attacked the audience.” “Stavarta!” I blurted out. “What did he do?” “He says he was standing in the gallery waiting for his turn when he heard the cries from the audience, At the same moments he saw Senobia falling and caught 8 glimpse of the gorilla. Without thjuking of his own peril he made a rush for the beast, but it was too quick for him. It ran back into its cage and he bolted the door behind it.” “Stavarta is a llar,” I said. At the same moment he struck me a violent blow in the face with his fist. “How dare you call me a liar, you cowardly cur!” he cried. “You have always been jealous because she loved me and did not care for you.” “I, jealous of you! You know very well that Senobia was not in love with any of us, and least of all with you. And you know yourself that you are lying, for at the moment I saw Senobia I ran to the gallery stairs. I had only one thought—to kill the gorilla, but as I passed the cage I saw it sitting in there.” “What is the good of calling one an- other liars,” said the ringmaster. “It means that Stavarta must ex- plain what he was doing in the gallery and how it happened that we saw & gorilla while Goble was in his cage.” “1 will kill you for this?” screamed Stavarta. “Easy, easy, Stavarta,” said the ring- master, and turned to me, . “Then you saw a gorilla, too? How do you explain that?” “I believe 1 can explain. Follow me.” 1 walked up the stairs. The others and Stavarta followed. He turned paler with every step. At the top there were six little rooms. They were all open but one. “Where is the key?” I asked. Nobody knew, but one of the men burst open the door with a kick. Inside we found a long brown fur coat and a mask representing a goril- la. The fur was torn and the mask in tatters. Both had been torn off | in a hurry. Close by were a pair of long-haired gloves and in one of the fingers of these we found a ring be- longing to Stavarta. Senobia did not die. She even re- covered so as to be able to walk. She {8 my wife now. | i Stavarta committed suicide in pris- on. reasonable, but remember that qual- PRETTY SET OF DOILY CASES White Linen Instead of Cretonne Made Up Satisfactorily in Gift for Bride. A very pretty set of doily cases was covered with white linen, instead of | crelonne. The set, which was intend- | ed Yor a bride, was made very indi- | vidnal by a three-initial monogram, em- | broidered in raised satin stitch. The mounogram was placed one and one-half inches from th . the letters being | placed 80 as to e 'm to the cir—; cular edg+. A wlilz cord was topl‘ sewed around the edze of the cireles, | making a very neat una unusual finish. | The ribbon used to tie the two cir- cles together «a 350 white. The Tetterli 4 had, of course, been ilone before ti-e cases were made. Cir- *les of cardbcucd two inches more in diameter thar the doilies they were | intended to p:otect were covered with whitw linen. The linen covering was cut one-half ir.ch more all around than the cardboard so it could be stretched over the cardhoard and held in place by long stitchus taken from side to side. Two covered circles were then | whipped togetber and the completed circles were then held together with ribhon, Heaven. The question, “Have astronomers ever named or suggested the heavenly body that is the seat of heaven?” must be answered in the negative. The lo- cation of heaven has occupied the thoughts of men for thousands of years, but nothing definite regarding the matter has as yet been reached. It is a puzzle that the great andl mighty thinkers have never been able to solve. It used to be “up” some- where, but since Galileo proved the revolution of the earth, “up” has come to be somewhat ambiguous. Perhaps heaven is right where the good man is, no matter where be may be found. ECLECTIC. LINIMENT i8 quickly absorbed,§ and readily reaches the seat of the pain.
