tion from the Society of Colonial Wars

From the lists which have been com

1,250 local firms nble to subscribe to
the fund, out of which 500 have been
seen, leaving 750 to be reached. These
firms will first be given the considera

THE PROFESSOR AND THE TIGER
By J. SACKVILLE MARTIN.
Bravery. Doctor (said my friend, the
third officer). Isn't such a simple thing
as you think IL One man Is brave In
one way, and another In a different one.
Often enough, that which la called
bravery Is nothing more than custom.
You wouldn't go up on the fore-royal
yard In half a gale to reef sail, would
you7 Not you! You'd be afraid. Well,
you might think me a brave man be'
cause I would. But then I'd be afraid
to cut a chap's leg off, and you
wouldn't.
That was what old Captain Hoskins
whom I used to sail with, could never
understand. 'If a man waa a bit nerv
ous about the sea, be Used to- look
down on him aa all sorts of a coward.
But thero came a day when he learned
better. . .
It happened when I was with him In
n three-masted sailing ship colled the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, alongside
the Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading with
a general cargo for Ltveemol. The
principal object In that cargo—or, at
least, the one we took most notice of—
wna a tlgor that we were shipping tor
London. It lay In a strong csge of wood
and imn, with a door In the front,
through which It could be fed. It was
a fine big brute, and every time It
stretched Itself you could see the mus
cles slipping over Its sides, and the
big. wicked-looking claws peeping out
of the pnds of its feet In a way that
made you very thankful for the bars.
We had a passenger or two. One of
them was a young girl who went by the
name of Hilda Samlford. She had been
a governess In the family of one of
our agents out there, but the climate
hadn't suited her, nnd she had to go
home. She was coming with us Instead
of by steamer, because she got her pas
sage for nothing nnd she .wasn't too
well off. Directly the old man set eyes
on ner trim figure and the wealth of
golden brown hair about her head, he
was struck all of a heap, ao to apeak,
and 1 could see that he was promising
htmaslf a mighty pleasant voyage.
The other passenger was a strange
little, dried-up man, who wore gold
plnee-nea and kept peering about the
ship In a most uncomfortable way. Ho
gave his name ms Mr. Hay—Profes
sor Hay. he called himself, though we
hadn't found out what he professed
until later. Of course, the tiger had
Its attendant, but he berthed forward.
An hour or two before we started
this Mr. Hay came up to tha old man
and began asking him a lot of ques-
"'•"’aptaln," he said nervously, ‘T.hope
we shall have a quiet passage."
••I don't see why we shouldn t. said
Hoskins genially. . .
Mr. Hay looked up at the sky.
"There seems to be a good deal of
' "Pretty 11 fair* £8 Hoaklns. -That's
what's going to take ushome Not be-
Ing a steamer, we can t do without It.
"You're sure Its safer asked Hay.
"Safa!” says tha old man. getting on
his high horse. >'8afe! I'm sailing this
'The little man smllod apologetically.
"You will excuse me. Captain, he
said "I did not mean any offense. The
fact Is, I am constitutionally nsrvous
on ship; board. It to a froth* 1
have never been able to ?»•«<»»»••
The old man looked at him with a
sort of good-natured contempt. „
“You've no call to be stormed,
said; “well take you to England eafe
'"mi?*Hay smiled again and walked off
Into the waist, where we bed fixed up
the tiger's csge. It seemed to have
a sort of attraction for him, for he
stood before It Jor at least a quarter
of an hour. Hoeklna looked after him.
and then turned to Mtos Bandford, who
n aortof'chap to have on a ship,"
f ga lj. "A man like that ought to
ft -'\Vea you know, I have » fellow-feel-
' n *m M"!f thtlSimylelf."
•• a h ** he said, “but you'r* • woman,
you £e. Ablt of fear Is all right In a
woman. It's natural to them. But with
a man It's different. A man ought to bo
a, ™Aro 0 you 0 ifrafd".f nothing. CapUlnr
* h "Not < L” said Hoskins. "Tou can
have the biggest storm
by the China seas. snd ™
for tt. it brings out all the good In a
U must be nice to be brave," aha ex-
Cl "Oh ed it's all right wbenyou'ro used
to IL" said Hoskins, modestly. A
brave man and a pnBtr woman are
two of the finest sights In creation.
They ought always to be together-
There was wxptthlBI In hi* tunt that
made her blueh An.I th -Jgli she agreed
with him she took the first opportu-
nlty of clearing off to another part of
the deck.
Shortly afterwards we put to sea.
For the next few days we had the best
of weather and everything went
smoothly. I had my time pretty well
taken up with my work; but for all
that I could see one or two things that
set me thinking. The first was that
the old man was making himself un
commonly attentive to Miss Sandford.
The second was that this Mr. Hay, In
a quiet and timid way, was thinking
a good dec’, of her, too. Hoskins saw
quickly enough that he had a rival, but
as he had started off with a healthy
contempt for him he didn't disturb him
self over and above much. For my
part, I thought the girl fancied Hay
rather than Hoaklas, and though she
couldn't avoid the old man, and could
not help listening to his sea yarns,
could soe her eyes turning forward to
ward the walsL where Hay was pu
ting In his time looking at the tiger.
One afternoon the skipper was sit
ting beside Miss Sandford on the poop
MtjbM rosy came up the compa'n
Ion nnd made his wey toward them.
"There's something I want to tell
you. Captain,” he said. "It’s getting
my mind and making me quits un
comfortable. That man wboae bust
ness It to to look after the tiger Isn't
doing his work, the animal Isn’t get
ting enough food. It to developing a
savage nature. And yesterday, when I
went to see the man about It, I found
that he was Intoxicated. 1 really think
you should Interfere."
Of course, the old man should have
Interfered. But he didn’t like being told
his duty by the little Professor, espe
cially when the girl was about , So he
Just sneerod.
“I suppose you're afraid of tha beast
escaping?" he said.
"I should certainty regard tt as un
fortunate,” the little man replied. "You
see, a drunken man might be careless
about the fastenings. I must really
Insist upon your speaking to him.”
"He'# not one of my crew," said Hos
kins. "I have enough to do to look
after them. If any of them get drunk,
they’ll hear of it But this chap Is
a passenger, even If he to only a steer-
one. He can do aa he Tikes with
■_ spare time. If you're so darned
frightened about the beast, you'd bet
ter look to the fastenings yourself”,
"Excuse me,” said the professor stiff
ly, "that to not my business. The an
imal does not belong to me. I . have
done what I believe to be my (luty.
can say no more.”
He turned away without even
glance at the gtrl. - ■
"That man,” said Hoskins, looking
after him, “Is frightened of his own
shadow. Let me give you a bit of
fatherly advice, Mtos Sanford. When
you are looking for a man to marry
never select a coward. A - girl like
you wants some one who will protect
her In time of danger; some oi)e she
can rely on and look up to."
“L'm not thinking of getting mar
ried,” eald she, shyly. "But when I do
I'll bear your advice In mind, captain.”

That's It,” said Iloekins. "Think It
over carefully. And as for getting
married, I’d be glad If you’d think
over that, too.'
She started like a frightened horse.
"Oh, captain!" sho said, "I don’t un
derstond. What do you mean?"
You do understand," he said,
derly, drawing bis chair a bit nearer
to her. "Miss Sandford—Hilda! Have
not you a word for a poor old seaman
who worships ths very ground you
tread on? Think over It, None but
the brave deserve the fair, you know.'
"You mustn’t speak like this," she
exclaimed, rising ns though sho were
tllstreseed. “You are older than I am.
And I don't know that you are u bravo
nan. I have only your word for It.
Please don’t speak to mo about thto
again."
Tha old man saw that he hod gone a
little bit too far.
“Walt!" ho sold, "don’t be frightened,
promtae not to say a word until we
reach England. Before we get there,
If we have a bit of rough weather, I'll
show you the sort of man I am. 1
should love a bit of danger for your
sake."
For the next few days he went about
Whistling for a wind, aa though he
wanted to semi us all to Davy Jones'
locker. 1 believe he would have been
glad of a typhoon Just to show his
seamanship and his contempt for dan
ger. As for hto seamanship, no one
ever questioned It; and as for hto con
tempt for dinger, he was to get hto
chance all tight, though not quite In
tho way he expected.
It waa about a week after hie con
versation with the girl that It came.
Hilda waa sitting on the poop deck,
reading a book. The old man waa
marching up and down with a quarter-
deck trot, casting glances at her and
thinking how pretty sha waa, when
suddenly he let off a howl that would
have frightened on elephant and sprang
Into the port mlssen rigging. I wasn't
far from him at the time, and I looked
at him, wondering whelhar ha had
gone mad. Then 1 saw what he had
seen, and I went up the starboard mto-
sen shfouda as quickly as ha had gone
up the port ones. The gtrl raised her
head and looked up at Hoaklns. and
ha gaped down at her and tried to
shout. But for some lime ha could only
make faces.
"Look! look!" ha yelled at last.
"Come, up the rigging! Tha tiger to
loose!"
Sha sprang to her feet and looked
about her. Not four yarda away from
her the tiger waa playing with a coll
of rope. It waa paying no sort of at
tention to her at the moment, but she
felt that It might take It Into Ita head
to spring at her at any minute. Aa she
stood she was cornered between the
stern of the ship and the cabin door.
Thera waa nothing to ba done but to
climb up the rigging. She triad, but
the first step was too high, and she
could not manage It. And when she
rani toad that, I thought aba waa going
fain'.-
Hoaklns waa Juat going down to give
or n hand, but at that moment the
Igor looked up and saw him, and gave
_ kind of roar. The old man stuck
where ha was then and sort of shiv
ered all over like a J*"y In a gala. As
tor the gtrl, she want white all over
and gave .herself up for loot And
then—out of the cabin came rrofeeeor
lie just took one look round and saw
the tiger. Then ha picked up a broom
that some one who had been washing
the decks had left leaning against the
deck house, and pushed at the tiger
fore hint right In to the waist and
back Into Its cage. When he Imd It
safely fastened In, he came astern
again, looking not the least bit excited
or worried, and put the broom care
fully beck Into Its place. Tho girl was
looking bard at him, and her eyes were
shining, bul he didn’t seem to bo aware
of It. Hoskins loo! CONIC lloHM th,- I Ik -
glng and wns looking n trifle ashamed
of himself. He didn’t know It wns so
easy to push tigers Into their enges
with a broom, or he might have had A
try at It. After a bit he spoke up.
"That was a fine bit of work, sir,"
he said. "If I hadn’t seen It I couldn't
have believed IL”
"Oh, It's nothing," said the professor,
"It's my business, 1 tame wild uni
After that he seemed to dismiss the
whole subject from hto mind anil went
Into the cabin. But I saw him later In
the evening talking to that girl, and
ha must have had something Impor
tant to say to her, for, when the old
man met her next morning and began
making excuses for himself, she cut
him short
"Captain," she said, "do you remem
ber advising me to marry a brave
man?"
I do," aald Hoaklns, a bit pussled.
Well," she said softly, "he asked
me yesterday and I'm going to take
your advice."
Which shows you, doctor, that bra
very to very much a matter of custom.
As for poor old Hoskins, we had mill
pond weather the whole way home, and
he hadn't even a chance to show hi!
self.
