Chapter Six THE BARGAIN ""H." said the animal traloei, "we ran out ot food and the money to buy tood. to 1 kissed them good bye and let them so." "That's where you made a mis take," said Bowers. "You need a trainer youraelt, young woman, or a guardian, or a aurte, or something ot that kind. Oru't you know that lur nrlce of tigers Is way up In G at the moment Coi msiinre. I would have bought them myself." "Ob, no, you wouldn't," said she. "Why wouldn't I " "Because you don't sell the things you love. You starve first." It was her first phrase In which there was any expression ot senti ment; and It begar to dawn on blm that she had a personality 01 many tides; a callous, hard-bolleJ person illty to show to the world, and "But McLeod said jtliera in which sentiment, fancy , and high motives played a pari. "When you opened the va.es and let tbem out," he asked, "weren't you frightened?" "Me!" sbe exclaimed. "Me fright ened? Ot tlgora? Why, tlgors are Just like children It you understand them." "As for Instance?" suggosted Bow ers. "Why," she said, "when they are hungry, you teed them." Then sud denly she sullied for the first time. It was Just a ricker of a smile, but there was in it a bint ot gayety and mischief. "Wben their heads ache," sbe said, "you give tbem aspirin; and when they are naughty, you slap them." Bowers fell Into ber mood with a chuckle, and she continued; "The worst times, of course." she said, "are when tbey get homesick for the Jungle." "Thtvt must be awful," said Bow ers. "What do yon do for them then?" "Just what you would do for a man wbo was down on his luck. You flatter them." "I suppose 1 am dumb," ssld Bow ers, "but even It made up my mind to flatter a tiger, 1 wouldn't know bow to go abi ut It." "Oh." sbe ma, "Just prats . them. Tell them bow handsome they are. make tbem feel Important ana self, satisfied. At such times, 1 often re cite Blake's poem to them." And she quoted: "Tiger, Tiger, lumlng brlgh1 In the rorest ol tbe night, What Immortal band or Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" "That's tbe stuff that makes tiger feel good all over."

Lewis Arnold of Seattle last night at the Free Methodist church revival now in progress. Continuing, he ssld, "Protettants got their name from pro triit:tvr against the popular sins worldly conlormlty and wickedness of their day, but now the cry come to be liberal, broad minded, and tol erant until most anything Is tolerated in the way of religion. "The church ha catered to the world to win it to Christ but instead of winning the world the world has Cjcuvvui&UA Mcvul. Leod, I'd give you the job like t shot." "McLeod?" she said. "Anjus? the collector? What's he got to do with It?" "It's his menagerie," said Bowers. "He is la the hospital, and Just about now they are separating blm from bis appendix." "Still," said she, "I don't see what he's got to do with It. I am compe tent, and I need the Job. Why can't 1 have It?" "Only." said Bowers, "that the rords ot badly worried man, wbo Is about to bare bis appendli out, have a kind of sanctity. He told me to get a man to help me." "Isn't that a quibble?" she asked. "If he bad known that the ouly avail able man was a woman, wouldn't be have been willing to take a chance?" "Very possibly," said Bowers; but still be hesitated. It was hard tor blm to realize. It always bad been, that even out of her normal and natural sphere, a woman may sometimes function as effectively as a man, AT this moment Helen, the mon key, drew attention to herself by a sound which erhaps Is a little described by the word chltterlng. Unpercelvcd, she bad opened the little tin trunk, extracted a little felt hat with a feather in It, clapped It Wv' to hire a man." raklsbly on her head. uujubi-ed the chin strap, and was asking to be no ticed. Tbe young woman who quoted Blake to tlgora, laughed. "Helen!" she exclaimed. "Tell the kind, handsome, generous, high born gentleman bow badly we need money!" Helen mshed to Bowers, doffed ber hat, and pranced about and chit tered In the way ot organ-grinder monkeys the world over. Bowers ex tended a finger and swung the .non key to his shoulder. "I suppose," said Helen's nlstross, "that if McLeoJ knew that h woman was to be In charge. It would Just about kill him. But couldn't you do for blm what everybody does for the sick? Tbe friend tor tlu sick friend, the doctor tor the sick patient; the patient tor the sick child ; the animal tratnor for the sick monkey?" "I am not bright," said Bowers. "I don't understand." "Why ot course )cu do," said aha. "Couldn't you II to blm?" Tbe Boldero was a slow ship, and the ocean-road to Singapore was long, and It cannot be denied that the thought of having tbla particular young womat. for a companion dur ing tbe voyage, played an unfair part In bis decision to engnge ber. It li not to bis credit to think, nay, to be humanly certain that It sbe bad been plain and unattractive, be would bavo made his excuses and sought elsewhere. A kind ot liquid light came Into his eyes, and ho said : "Of course I could lie to him, ) shall. I will." Her eyes grew meltlngly soft This was occasioned largely by a sudden economic relief, and a little by gratitude. But Dowers mistook the cause of the melting look. Stupid' ly and conceitedly h attributed it to some undeserved and fortuitous quality In himself which made blm extraordinarily attractive to wo men. He said the wrong thins, and It turned ber cold as a stone. "Even It you weren't an animal trainer," he said, "I'd Ilk to havt you taka this trip." (Cefirtt, W. h Gnrrrmnr lorrii) Tomorrow, Bowirs and ths tralntr dlfftr wldtly on an impor tant point. won the church. The drift has been so far that many even deny the exist ence of sin and punishment of the wicked, but the Bible tells tta of the great apoetacy of the last days and that 'evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worne, deceiving and be:ng deceived.' "If the protrMlng church dowt not repent and fomake tta worldllneiw and get back to the Bible standard ol living, she wilt be cast out with the vile.

Aug. 30 Slashes In federal liquor taxa and Import dutlea to eliminate the bootlegger will be proposed In the next congress by a group of representatives who led the repeal fight.
