ger for your sake.”
About a week later, the girl was
sitting on the poop-deck, reading a
book. The “old man" was marching
up aud down with a quarter-deck trot,
easting glauces at her and thinking
how pretty she was, when suddenly he
uttered a howl that would have fright­
ened au elephant and sprang into the
port mizzen rigging. 1 was near at
the time, and 1 looked at him, wonder­
ing whether he had gone mad. Then
1 saw what he bad seen, and 1 went up
to the starboard mizzen shrouds as
quickly as he bad gone up the port
ones. The girl raised her head and
looked up at the Captain aud he gaped
down at her and tried to shout. But
for some time he could only make
faces.
“Look! look!” be yelled at last,
“come up the rigging!” The lion is
loose!”
She sprang to her feet and.looked
al>out hQr. Not four yards away from
her tbe lion was playing with a coil
of rope, the terrible claws alternately
exposing and sheathing themselves.
The creature was paying no sort of
attention to the girl at the moment,
but of course it might take it Into its
head to spring on her at any instant.
As she stood, she was cornered be­
tween the stern of the ship and the
cabin door. There was nothing to be
done but to climb up the rigging.
She tried, but the first step was too
high, and she could not manage it;
when she realized that, I thought she
was going to faint

roar. The “ old man” stuck where he
was then, and sort of shivered all over
like a Jelly. As for the girl, she moaned
despairingly, and gave herself up for

Professor Hay.
He took one look around and saw
the lion. Then he picked up a broom
that someone who had been washing
deck3 had left leaning against the
deck-house, and pushed at the lion
with it looking it straight between the
eyes. He kept walking forward, push­
ing the beast gently before him right
into the waist and back into its eage,
in spite of several ugly snarls. When
he had it safely fastened in, he came
astern again, looking not tbe least bit
excited or worried, and put the broom
carefully back in its place. The girl
was looking hard at him. and her eyes
were shining; but he didn’t seem to
be aware of It. Captain Hoskins had
come down the rigging and was look­
ing a trifle ashamed of himself. He
hadn’t known it was so easy to push
lions into their cage with a broom,
After a bit he spoke up.
“That was a fine bit of work. Sir.”
he said. “If I hadn’t seen it, I couldn’t
have believed It.”
“Oh, it's nothing,” said the Pro­
fessor. “It was my business. I have
tarrM wild animals.”
After that he seemed to dismiss the
whyle subject from bis mind, and went
down into the cabin. But I saw him,
later In the evening, talking to that
girl, and he must have had something
important to say to her, for when the
“old man” met her next morning ami
l>egan making excuses for himself,
she cut him short.
“Captain Haskins,” she said, “do
you remember advising me to marry
a brave man?”
“I do,” said Hoskins, a bit puzzled.
"Well,” she said softly, "he asked
me yesterday; and I’m going to take
your advice.”
All of which shows you, Doctor, that
bravery is very much a matter of cus­
tom. As for poor old Hoskins, we had
mill-pond weather the whole way
home, and he hadn't even a chance to
show himself.—Sketch.

We have arranged for the publi­
cation in 15 issues, of the thrilling
story of love and adventure, "The
White Company.” by Sir A. Conan
Doyle, author of Micah Clarke. The
Study in Scarlet; Sign of the Four, ami
the Shorter Sherlock Holmes Detective
Stories.
•The White Company”, to write
which Mr. Doyle read 123 contem-
porary books, is a tale of the battles
of Englapd's Knight Errant», her re­
doubtable men-at-arms and her won­
drous tong-lrowmen, during the -¡>eriod
when all France was harried by the
famous Black Prince. In those times,
when gunpowder was Just coining to
be used in a crude form, the English
long-bowman could send his gray
goose shaft, with deadly effect, a dl»-
tanc of 420 yards, or practically a
quarter of a mile. The bow» were
made of yew, tough and springy, and
the arrow» were of ash, long, and
feathered and straight.
"So we toast all together
To the gray goose feather
And the land where the gray goose
flew.”
The White Company is the sequel to
Mr. Doyle’» great story, Sir Nigel, for
which he received Twenty-flve Thou­
sand Dollars.
In presenting the revised "White
Company” we are offering our many
readers one of the most stirring and
powerful stories written by any mod­
ern author.
