Two balls of red Are burn- id toward the noise. The monster limb of a corpulent oak drooped near' ‘' tht ground, bowed down by Its bur' den as the crouching form of a Pan' ther edged Its way an atom closer to he breaking point. The watching ani mal drew Its hind quarters closer to its body. Its muscles hardened. The time was drawing near when for alwsvs It would be settled—who was the king of the Jungle. Again the crackling sounds could be heard, In slow rhythmetlc cadence sp- uroachlng noise. Across tho glade two Other points of blazing Are appeared. The huge laws of a Lion opened—the forest rocked with the echo. Out Into tho pale moonlight of the owning 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, “Come one. come all, whomsoever doubts my supremacy, whomsoever questions my right to reign supreme—I challenge to a death struggle here in the list of the land I or he forever shall rule!" The bold challenge went unanswer ed, Thrice was It repeated and still was not accepted.

The Lion moved closer, all unconscious of the intended usurper’s presence. The muscles of the crouching beast became harder, nerves becams tenser; his head drew back 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 roan of sur prised anger, went up to high heaven. Claws and teeth of the Panther sank simultaneously into the flesh of its 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 hla fleshi 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 tenacious jaws still holding the flesh of his challenger. The Lion raised his paw, let it fall. The Panther was knocked to the ground, where it lay stunned with a piece "f quivering fle.sh between its JawH. The stately Lion drew buck 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 tor supremacy lasted. Around the list, formed by Nature's hand, they watched, breathlessly, to see who 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—hla teeth sunk through the throat of the Lion. The larger beast raised high his head, giving no utterance at the pain It woe 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 was 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 t^eath. The Lion, with torepaw 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, "Thys 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 stoymed in the center of th# circle formed by the lesser animals and there stood motionless as from a thousand throats the Jungle awakened to the cry: "The King is dead;. long live the Klngl" The new and elegant quarters of th& Alligator family have been completed and surpass anything of the kind here tofore built In the Dark country.

STATE LABOR LAW DECLARE ILLEGAL New York Judge Says It Invades Constitutional Rights. By Prints Leased Wire. New York. Aug. 4.—Judge Olm- stead. In a decision handed down yea terday in the court of special sessions, brands as "an unwarranted invasion of constitutional rights" ths New York state law which restricts the labor ot women and children to ten hours a day and 60 hours a week in a factory. Ho says tho law is class legislation, and Justices Deuel and McKean concur with him. "It may be stated ns a well estab lished legal proposition that the 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 as 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 tolls not at all—the society woman—be exempt by legislative in terference, injunctive or mandatory, for the same reason? Home 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."
