T.ie door of the cage was opened il,n ami. armed only with a whip. Madeline slid through the aperture, ipectators held their breath. The big tint tbnt had been hushed be fore iieemod utterly at ill and silent. There were men on guard outside umi with revolvers but few of the Htchers knew that.

It was at ilit instant while ber attention timed that the, tigress leaped.

"Whether she Uvea or dies you're through." Con'a lips were distorted In a grimace that waa Intended to be a amile. "Thanks," he aaid. "So you'd kick a man when he's down. But with my beat animal dead and my wife " "lour best animal!" snapped Ben froe. "I wish I'd shot the damned beaat myself!

Then, like one suddenly stricken blind, Con David stumbled out of tbe little room, out of tbe run-way and into the open air. ' Lurcbipir drunkenly, he made his way through the alley where the concession stands were grouped, pnst the sideshow of freaks, the peanut and lemonade vendors to tbe exit from the grounds. It was the irony of fate that he should be the one to inform Ned Trafford of Madellne'a death. But Con did not know who the man was who accosted him. The animal train er'a filmed, blood-shot eyes saw only the hulk ot a man in the shadows. He did not recognize Trafford's voice. "How la she?" the man In tbe shsdows asked. "Dead! Dead!" Con answered. He ataggered on toward the city. still wearing his costume of yellow and purple. Yellow had been the color that Madeline had feared. She bad said thst fl brought bad luck.
