Quivering shafts of red light ahot alantlngly down through the autumnal leaver .potting the nature-carpeted Jungle with fantastic designs. Slowly . jinKIng »un burned Itself Into an ohen heap of somber twilight. Over- wad a aephyr whispered In the tree . , left It* message and was gone, ill wa* quiet save the lnughter of a distant brook. Night had fallen. The forest waited in suspense, the .low motion of tha rising moon adding to the nervous tension ns the tall trees stood expectant with breath abated. The contlnuoua laughter of the distant brook emphasised the death-llke sl- lfl Far out Into the night the low moan, „ of a soul crying In torment, set In motion the otherwise motionless nlr. from the opposite side of the glade a growl was half muffled, and iialn silence fell, enwrapping the Jun- U. In a shroud of loneliness. •Borne on the cooling night air the crackling of an underbrush camo fron “distance. Two balls of red Are burn. Id toward tho noise. The monster limb of a corpulent oak drooped near- I ir the ground, bowed down by Its bur den as the croqchlng form of a ran ker edged tta way an atom closer to the breaking point. Tho watching ani mal drew ltfl hind quarters closer to it* body. It* muscles hardened. The time wa* drawing near when for always It would bo settled—w{io was the king of the Jungle. Again the crackling sounds could be heard, In slow thythmetic cadence ap proaching noise. Across the glade two other point* of blazing Are appeared. The huge Jawa of a Lion opened—the forest rocked with the echo. Out into the pale moonlight of the opening strode, with, stately steps, the claimant of the title—King of the Jun gle With one huge paw thrown out defiantly before the others, he voiced the challenge, "Com* one, come all, whomsoever doubts my supremacy, whomsoever questlois my right to reign supreme—I chalenge to a death struggle here In the 1st of the land I or he forever shall rtltel" The bold challenge went unanswer ed. Thrice wa* It wpeated and still was not accepted. Forward moved the great animal—half-vay across tho opening he strode wHlo with Jealously blaring points of flri the Panther re mained motionless oh the opposite side awaiting his chance to conquer by stealth. The Lion moved closer, all unconscious of the Intended usurper's presence. The muscles of the crouching beast became harder, nerves became tenner; his head drew bark the fraction of an Inch. The time had come. The tree gave up a great groan as Its member swung high toward the glistening stars. Through the night air shot a dark body, claws extended, mouth half open, toward Its victim. The night’s quiet was rent by the Impact of two bodies. A savage yelp of Jealous rage, a mighty roar of sur prised anger, went up to high heaven. Claws and teeth of the Panther sank simultaneously into the flesh of ita an tagonist. For a moment both animals remain ed motionless. The Lion gathered together his strength, as the claws and teeth of his opponent sank deeper Into his flesh: then he sprang forward, stopped and the forest shook with the wrench as every muscle vibrated In mighty uni son. The claws of the Panther were loosened, his body swung toward the earth, the tenaclou£ Jaws still holding the flesh of his challenger. The Lion raised his paw, let it fail. The. Panther was knocked to the ground, where It lay stunned with a piece of quivering flesh between its Jaws. The stately Lion drew back con temptuously Ignoring the advantage, he had gained. The Panther recovered, arose to his feet and again, crouched ready for an other spring. The Lion waited on guard. They met! For miles around the beasts of the Jungle gathered while the long-drawn out battle for supremacy lasted. Around the list, formed by Nature’s hand, they watched, breathlessly, to see \vho would be their future ruler. Bleeding from a thousand scars the two beasts fought on. Never resting, never allowing eye to leave that of op ponent . The end drew near. The Pan ther secured a death hold—his teeth sunk through the throat of the Lion. The larger beast raised high his head, giving no utterance at the pain it was almost unconscious of In the all-en grossing determination. The head dropped. Half the Panther’s weight rested on the dark earth. A huge paw planted on the vitals of the stealthy beast. The Lion took between Its Jaws and crunched the very back bone of his opponent, then tore the body asunder. The Panther's hold on the Lion’s throat was released In death. The Lion, with forepaw still resting on the conquered, raised again its magnificent head. The moon shone down making black the sparkling pools of blood. The heavy silence was bro ken by the roar of victory. "Thus al ways with tyrants!" And the huge body of the victor sunk into the open arms of Death. From the darkness, with slow stately strides, a beast passed into the arena. In form and size it was the counter part of the dead victor. Bathed In the moonlight, It stormed in the center of the tlrcle formed by the lesser animals and there stood motionless ns from a thousand throats the Jungle awakened to the cry: ’The King Is dead; long live the King!"

SUITE U10H LEW DECLHILLEGIL New York Judge Says It Invades Constitutional Rights. By Private Leased Wire. New York. Aug. 4.—Judge Olm- stead. in a decision handed down yes terday in the court of special sessions, brands os “an unwarranted Invasion of constitutional rights" the New York state law which restricts the labor of women and children to ten hours a day and 60 hours a week In a factory. He says the law Is class legislation, and Justices Deuel and McKean concur with him. “It may be stated os a well estab lished legal proposition that tho right to labor and contract for that labor,” says Judge Olmstead, “Is both a liber ty and a property right; when, there fore, the legislature enacts a statute such os that under consideration. It must be admitted that It has Infringed In the enactment the rights which are very clearly accorded by the constitu tion to the individual citizen. “The attorney general finds and urges no other reason for the law than that the general welfare of the state demands that the progeny of women of the factories shall have mothers with healthy bodies, to the end that the state may have sturdy citizens. Does the state look merely to the children of the factory women for Its future good citizens? Why should not the housewife, the woman who tolls at home. In mercantile houses, in offices, or she who toils not at all—the society woman—be exempt by legislative In terference, Injunctive or mandatory, for the same reason? Borne of them may be mothers of future citizens,’and It should be of great Interest to the state that their progeny should have birth and breeding to conserve Its welfare.” Hail Laid in Wait .and Shot Man and His Wife To Get Revenge.
