The other day he spoke to her after this manner: “Yon are nnreasonable, my dear, not to drink wine.” Her reply came sharp and pointed: “Perhaps; bnt I've notioed that yon are unreasonable when yon drink it.” A great many of onr people are jnst now beginning to wake up to the foot that Albany is going to have a big show in her Hay Day Carnival and Street Fair.

The daring trainer advanood towards him with uplifted whip. A tawny body shot through the air as a ory of horror arose from the audienoe. A mighty paw struck down the holploss trainer, and ere a single ory escaped bis Ups tho infuriated lion was tearing at his throat and the cage floor was streaming with blood. Au army of attendants ran to tho oage with pistols, iron bars and whips, and finally drove off the savage brats, but it was too late. A mangled, muti lated corpse was taken from the oage as Wallaoo Uoked his blood stained Ups and growled in grim satisfaction at hav ing added another viotim to his UBt.
