THE LITTLE LIOH TAMER. “W*pk in, ladies and gentlemen; you're just in. time; we’re going to begin 1” and the man with the pal lid face and green eyes cried out his programme in a husky voice, as he walked up and down the platform of one of the finest men agerie tents at tho Limoges Fair. The canvas at the right of the en trance represented a tribe of monkeys in more or less grotesque attitudes; at the left, panthers with yellow eyes and enormous manes. In the center the artist had painted a colossal woman, dressed in dancing costume.

Clery.‘Will come?” *he asked, timing towavd a group of friend*^£xfcSfoflq' -ed her. After a- momei „ -visitation they all entered W tent, which was already well filled. A large man, who seemed to be the owner of the menagerie, was seated at the door and took the money. '‘Hurry up!” he shouted; “the performance has begun.” The animals were apparently leas numerous than the signs out side indicated; the principal cage contained two female lions and an enormous male lion reclining idly on the floor and looking disdain fully at the crowd through half dosed eyes. . Suddenly a door in the rear of the cage slid back and a young girl entered. Her beauty aston ished the men, while the women bkdled at sight of her. She was a blonde, with blp© eyes and fresh aomplasgon, and wore an elegant blue and white costume. TANARUS% lieto had heard the cage door ghut, and he got up, stretching himself lika a hug© dog. and gave a long look at the little lion tamer. She approached him, holding a cir ede in one hand and a whip in the other. The lion jumped through th® circle and the crowd applauded. Henri Maurel, the young man who had followed Mme. Clery into the menagerie, clapped his hands even more loudly than the others. The performance continued; the tamer made the animals go through the ordinary exercises. Once, one of the female lions refused to obey; then the young girl knit her pretty brows, darted a glance from her sapphire eyes and struck the beast with her whip. Fresh applause followed and the young man, standing close by the stage, cried out: “Bravo for the pretty girl!” Th© lion tamer raised her blue •yes upon Henri, who devoured her with his glance. She became confused and blushed. In another minute, recovering her self-posses sion, she cast her eyes upon the animals. It was time, for the fe male lion had straightened herself up and was looking at the young girl ferociously. The lion tamer drew a revolver from her belt, fired four shots rapidly, and, before the smoke had died away, disappeared from the cag-e. The crowa filed out noiselessly, meeting another lot of spectators who were entering to see the next performance. “That little girl isn’t IB years old,” said the Colonel, “and she’s stunningly pretty.” “Her beauty is a little insipid,” said Mine. Clery, in a scornful tone. “She looked at you for a mo ment, lucky dog,” said the Colonel, turning to Henn; “that’s what it is to be young.” The following dav Henri Maurel returned from nis horseback ride. After a few seconds’ hesitation he suddenly decided to leave his here# at his quarters and go to the ready op.on, but the tents wore closed. \\ hen he oc.me near the menag erie Henri saw the crier seated on the plalform mending his red cos tume. “ Well,” ho asked the man, “is business brisk?” “For the boss,” replied the crier. “Joan!’ called a gentle feminine voice from the interior of the tent. “I’m coming, Mam’zalle Paula,” replied the man, rising. “One moment,” said Henri, this time placing a silver piece in Jean's rough hand. “Who is Mam’zelle Paula?” “She is the niece of Old William, our boss. In short, she’s the lion tamer. ” The curtain that concealed the entrance to the tent was drawn aside and Mile. Paula appeared. It was no longer the bold lion tamer in the theatrical dress; she looked like a simple country girl She was as fresh as the morning and blushed at sight of the officer. But Henri soon found means to reassure her, and she had already replied to some of his questions when a coarse voice in the tent cried out: “Are we not going to have dinner to-day?”. The crier rushed into the tent, and Paula, after a parting glance, also disappeared. After that morning, whenever Henri was not detained by his military duties, he came every day at the same hour to exchange a few words with tho pretty girl, who, for her part, began to tliink often of him, and welcomed his arrival with radiant smile and throbbing heart. One day the young girl burst in to tears as she told the officer of the near departure of the menag erie for a neighboring village. They would see each other, perhaps less frequently. Then Henri ob tained a promise that Paula would meet him after the performance. It was midnight, the crowd had departed, the lights were extin guished and silence reigned. Henri, in citizens dress, walked impatient ly to and fro behind the tent. Suddenly he preceivcd the girl coming towards him, and he hur ried to meet her. “Dear little Paula,” ho cried, taking her hand in his. The colloquy of the two friends was not to be of long duration; a heavy step was heard, and old William appeared. At his ap proach Paula uttered a cry of Iright and slipped away. Old William came forward and placed his hand upon the officer. “Monsieur,” said he gravely, “let me have two words with you. I must tell you that I have seen your game from the beginning. “You must cease to see that girl. Paula is a good girl. You know that because of the difference in your stations no good can come of your courtship.” The tone in which the words were said affected Henri and he fromised to think no more about 'aula. And he kept his word, though not without difficulty. One eve ning, on returning to his quarters, he found a letter written on colored paper and surrounded with lace, such as children send their sweet hearts on St. Valentine’s day. These words were written in a trembling hand: I am very sad at not seeing you any more. I thought that you would come, all the same. It is finished, I know. Adieu. I tvill never forget you. A tear had fallen upon the word “never.” The poor girl liad told the truth; Henri had produced an ineffacea- ble impression upon her. But it was otherwise with Henri. At the end of six months he had com pletely forgotten the little lion tamer. Ho had married Mme. Clery and had gone to Paris to five with his wife. One summer evening, after a jolly dinner, Henri and his wife went with some friends to the Neuilly Fair. “Let us go in,” he said. “Paula, the little lion tamer, is inside.” Henri was suddenly curious to see if the little lion tamer would recognize him. It was in the middle of the per formance. Caesar, the big lion, refused to jump through the circle that Paula held out. Some seats were vacant in the front row. Henri, his friends, and his wife took them. Paula raised her eye upon the new comers, and instantly recognized Henri. Her knees trembled, a haze obscured her sight, and she let fall the whip with which she had just struck Caesar. The animal uttered a ter rible roar and sprung upon the little lion tamer. There was a frightful tumult in the tent; the men rushed at the cage, the women screamed and fainted away. The strong voice of old William was heard above the noise: “Bring the red-hot iron bar!” Henri, carried it up to the cage, saw the little blue and white cos tume all covered with blood and the enraged beast's fangs tearing the breast of poor Paula. When the red-hot bar was brought it was toe late. The poor little lion-tamer died ef her wounds during the night. From the Freggfe SLf M&unoe foyaold, BABJMNS! A. G. HITCHENS, Jackson, - Georgia.
