Eagerly and Impatiently they await

lie kept them waiting a few min
utes. It was his custom the device
by which he Insured himself a sec
ond outbreak of the applause, which
he enjoyed. Then he stepped out on
the tiny stage, close to the roof, from
which the tight rope started, and
flung off his pelturosque cloak and
showed himself arrayed In all the
splendor of his flesh-colored tights
and gay green trunks.
A handsome man beyond a doubt;
a man whose symmetrical and well
knit frame; a man whose muscular
arms and chest and shoulders be
spoke his perfect training. Ills eye
has that clear, limpid look which tells
of perfect physical health; the Item
outlines of bis mouth and chlu spoke
of determination and fearless resolu
tion. The men gnxed at him with
envy, the women wits admlratluu
akin to that which the bullfighter ex
cites In more hot-blooded lands.
"Bravo! bravo! bravo!" they shout
ed And some of the women whispered
to one another, as women will on such
occasions:
"Oh, how dreadful if be should
fall."
Salad 1 1 looked down from his giddy
height through bazy space upon the
mass of upturned faces and drank
the delicious Incenso of their applause.
Then, as the band began to play the
prelude of a popular waltz, be osten
tatiously blew a kiss toward a box
where a Uttle woman with a scared
look in her eyes sat watching him.
She had forebodings vague forebod
ings born of ominous dreama-that
something terrible would befall that
night So she had told blm, and now
he blew her a kiss before that great
multitude to reassure ber.
And yet she was not reassured. Not
that she doubted, for an Instant her
lover's sureness of foot, or steadiness
of head. Only she hud seen a face in
the stalls and a pair of eyes that had
met hers and frightened her. She
clutched suddenly at the sleeve of ber
companion.
"Look," she cried, hysterically.
"Yes, dear; what Is itr
"My husband. lie Is sitting below
there."
"Your husband V
"Yes. I left him to run away with
Baladln. Didn't you know? He'll do
something dreadful, I know be will.
I must run and tell Salndln. Let mu
go, Kitty."
The other tried to calm her.
"You can't dear," she said. "It's
too late. The turn's Just beginning."
"But I can't bear to look at it,
Kitty."
"Then come outside, dear. There's
no danger, really; but If you stay
here you may scream and frighten
him."
And so saying she took her by the
arm and led ber out gently Into the
ladles' cloakroom, and made ber drink
a tittle brandy.
Meanwhile the strains of the Myo
sotls waltz were already floating
through the building, and Baladln, all
ignorant of the little woman's fears
for him, li t'' vrrn-'p-d Hi" bi'nnetnir
pole and, vu.kfi o -. . i-p-m ihe
rope.
It stretched from end to end of the
ball, some eighty feet or so above the
floor, and Baladln walked along it,
ambled along It, find tripped along
U, as easily and safely as a man who
crosses a plank bridge over a tiny
brook. He stood on It on one foot;
he knelt on It; he sat astride of It.
He even crossed it blindfold, with a
sack drawn over his head. The mul
titude gazed at him, open-iyod und
open-mouthed, and every time he got
back to bis little platform In midair,
roared tumultuois applause.
Then came the feature of the eve
ning for which everyone bad been
waiting with anxious curiosity. The
manager of the ball stepped out on
the stage and made a speech.
"Ladles and gentlemen," he shouted,
''we have now arrived at the final
Item In Saladln's entertainment Sa
ladln asks me to say that if any mem
ber of the audience will intrust him
self to his care he is willing to carry
him across the tight rope on his back."
There was a great silence, broken
presently by a voice of those who
press toe offer on their neighbors.
The manager repeated his proposal.
"I can assure, ladles and gentle
men," he said, "that there is not the
slightest danger If any gentleman
will cross the tightrope on Suladln's
back, Baladln will absolutely guaran
tee his safe return."
, Again there was a silence, growing
gradually to a murmur; und then a
long tempest of vociferous cheers as
a man In evening dress was seen to
rise In bis place In the stalls and
climb the flight of stqps which gave'
hooc to the stage,
"Who Is he?"
The question passed rapidly from
mouth to utouth nud at tlrst none
could answer If. But presently a
uuot lu the front seats whispered to
his neighbors;
"By Jovt! that's the mutt whose wtfe
ntit away with Snhidln."
To which the uclghlsir repl'ed:
"I'gly little brute. I'm not surprised."
And then after a pause: "Hut whit's
hi gtuu I wonder? lie menus mis
chief of mm sort, I'll wairiint What
do you thluk f t Mightn't we to toll
the manager to stop U?"
"Wlml's the use? It's not our bus
tosa. Kul ml In can stop It himself If
he want to,"
"True; so he tan."
So they whlsiK-rod to ench other,
while the wonmu's husband was
hoisted, amid rliiiitng rounds of
cheers, to the platform where stood
the man who hnd robbed him of his
wife
There was nothing heroic, nothing
Inspiring about his presence. Looking
at him, one hardly knew whether to
say that he whs tsi ugly to Im Inslg
idtloant or too lnslgnltlcaut to be ugly,
K was, lu short, a miserable scare

hoked more contemptible than ever.

would have seemed no wonder that

both to bis bitterness and to his bale.
The eye of the two men met It
was the tlrst time since the little wo
man had let ber home that Kaladln
had seen the mail whom he had
wronged; and they lskd st each
other long nud steadfastly. There
were two attendants with them ou the
platform, and. in their presence,
neither cared to speak the thoughts
that were nppcruiut In ' his mind.
But Suladln's eyes fell at length be
fore the other's gase, and fear wits
visible In his face, and he la-gnu to
stammer out a refusal to go further
with this last Item of his entertain
ment "If you are afraid." the other wills
red temeatb his breath, "If you are
afraid, it ihs uot matter."
Still Salndln hesitated.
"Very well." tho man said. "Now
I see that you are a coward."
The words stung Salndlu to the
quick, lie was not used to have his
courage questioned; is-rbiips there
were few meu whose courage wus lew
questionable. He grlp'd bold of one
of the ropes by which the platform
was suspended for a .inouteul, while
a crowd of thoughts shot through his
brain. And foremost among his
thought was the thought that he
owed this man some repartition for
the wrong that he had dime blm.
After all, tho man might have shut
or stabbed him unawares, if this
was the satisfaction he preferred,
what right had he to refuse It to him?
So he tumml to him and wild simply:
"I am no coward, t'otiie."
And the attendant he!s-d the man
onto his back and handed him the
balancing polo, and they passed out
together iiikiu the tight Msj.
Mahtdln had uo delusions, no false
hope. I.'f knew, though the other
hud whispered no word of his Inten
tions, that he was walking the tight
mi for the Inst time In hi I'fe. It
surprised him a little that no brutal
recrimlmitlot were tilsscd Into his
ear; he did not understand this silent
vengt in ce. It surprised him n little,
too, that he was nlbwed to trun-rso
the hall oree In safety: but eioit that
did uot buoy blm with uiy expecta
tion of a safe return. -
He regretted nothltg. If he could
have bad his life again he would have
done the same with It. What he hnd
done still seemed worth while, even
though this wa what tho doing of it
brought him to. And yet It whs an
awful end! Already the man uism
his back had knotted his lingers firm
ly around bis throat, lu readiness to
Jerk him from his precarious find
hold.
A thought struck him. Since the
end was inevitable, why wait for It?
Since both must die. better to be the
murderer than the murdered! It wus
the one triumph left for him.
The Idea tickled blm and be chuck
led to himself.
Then, of a sudden, ho dropped the
ballanelug polo and threw himself
Into the air Just as tho band was play

New York Press: Curiously exam

Ho In great profusion on the dressing
table, you come ncross a tiny brush,
dellcato and white, with a tluely
chased sliver buck. You wonder at

"What Is this for?" you auk, holding
It up. The owner looks at It for a

"Oh, yes, that's my new eyebrow

Tho disciples of physical culture

Jeed, Buff on, the naturalist places

cause, ho says, of the marked contrast
cf this feature to the others of the
face. The brows are a shadow In

Its color and drawing Into strong re
lief. Eyelashes also contribute their
effect; when long rud thick they over
ihadow the eye, mid make It appear
softer and more beautiful.

which one sees on tho face of Venus.
The Turkish and Circassian women

uot that a few weak minds might

Tint Htateincnt respi-ctlng tho "New

that tho laws should deal with men

umrrtugo should be a civil contract,
and that each partner should havo
equal right, privileges and responsi

wife shall be no longer regarded ns
a "chattel" or ninirlinonlul slave, but
a freo partner, ruling In her depart

not Imitate blm in excewse or lu

or gissl skeiise; thut Urn Maine purity
of conduct which men demand from

point In our program, nml the oh
J. 11 Ion to them are: that husbands
proiis-t Ibelr wive from all anxieties
in ihe battle of life, and ninety nine

Imvo none whatever; that women
vow- oIhsII.-iu'o lu murrliige; tlmt "one

tlmt "If I lie nnwt glfiisl women of

I cnii fearlessly npin-til to your
render a to their porsouul know
lodge of the numerous anxieties
which besot every married woman as
stion a the honeymoon ts over, nnd
freqiHutly iH-roi-e. The anxieties nf
child bearing, musing, and household
management belong to rich mid poor,
mid are by no menus slight lu the
enso of the ptsir, who form the ma
jority, there Is lidded the ressmsl
hlllty of assisting the husbmid lu his

"Tho vow of obedience" which oc
curs lu the KnglWi church service Is
simply part of un old ecclesiastical
formula which bus outlived It mean
ing. The man any "With all my worldlv
good I thee endow," but neither of
them, unless they nre very simple,
mean or do anything of tho sort As
to the alleged necessity that one of
tho two should rule, this does uot ex
ist wboro two ure of one mind nml
strive to plouso each other by every

such, nnd to a condltlou of semi

Women, of course, do not under
stand those Bi.bjcct which they have
not studied ns do the men who have.
They have been iniefully exch.dod
from ninny uvocntlons which men re
gard ns belonging to themselves, nnd
therefor, 011 topics relating to these,
women are Ignorant and many seem
foolish. But It. Is equally tho same
with men vhen they discuss women's
aff.ilrs. Siuuii cunlipie.
Give, however, boys and girl, maid
ens ami youths, women and men, the
samo opportunities, and the result
will not "be pltluhlo so fur as the
weaker sex Is concerned." Tho noble
Individuals win nsslst In boycotting
woman nud dwarfing her faculties by
forbidding them to be exercised are
the first to 11111 ke Invidious compari
sons between tho sexes. These cow
ards lush us for the faults of their
own system, tuul for which they
alone are responsible. But those of
us who have thrown off our shackles
and nsserted our Independence have
already proved tlmt women can com
pote successfully with men In every
thing when the conditions nro equal.
The men know this, nnd shudder to

Tho writer say that after leaving

found employment with the late Har
ry Melggs, the great South American
millionaire railroad miiguate, who
himself tied from Sun Francisco 0110
dark ulght, under a heavy cloud, some
forty year ago. He rcmaliicd in
Melggs' service until bl death,
amiisMlng in Uiose years a "small

American troubles in 1SU1 Pcttlgrew
got ltary government contracts from

cool quarter of a million lu cash. In

"Tho knowledge of my possessing
so much gold lost no time in getting
to the public ear, If not to Its eye.
and I began to feel tho utienslness of

A COKNER IN ELK TEETH.
John D."L.iackanip of Billings.
Mont, practically holds the elk-tooth
stock of the entire country, and to
his already enormous supply be is
constanUy adding, the Indians and
hunter bringing teeth to blm from
all over the country. Not everyone
know that the elk tooth, or rather
the tusk, of which two only are
found lu the mouth of tho adult elk,
havo a practical vnlue. The teeth
nre used us Jewelry, mostly as pend
ant on watch guards or as Insignia
of tho secret society known as the
l-.'lks. The value of a tooth ranges
from ,Vi cent to $2.50, -according to
Its si ao, color, and marking. Mr.
lioseknine has now over 8tt,000 elk
teeth deposited In safety vaults.
Many of the old Indian dres-ses were
highly ornamented with elk teeth,
somo of them being fairly covered
with the teetit Mr. Ixsekamp has
lived on the frontier all his mature
life, and understands lnd inn trading
perfectly, yet he has sometimes paid
over $100 for a single garment thus
ornamented, caring, ot course, for
nothing but the teeth. The Indians
drill the teeth to fasten them on their
dresses, and this does hot injure the
value of the tooth, but tbey have a
much worse habit of sometimes stain
ing the teeth a bright red. This dy
ennnot bo extracted, and depreciates
tho value of the elk tooth for a white
customer. .. Tuo Indians do not dye
the teeth so much now since, they
have learned they can sell them for
more In their natural state. Forest
and Stream.
