acquire certain very rare 'animals for
my private collection. I refer to that
great cat known as the blue puma. I
suppose this creature is .the rarest of
all the beasts of prey. Even in Peru,
its natural home, it is but rarely seen.
The ordinary puma, or Felis canceler,
is fairly common.. The blue variety,
the aristocrat of all the feline tribe,
is hardly ever met with. My friends,
you shall see what you shall see."
He bowed, smiling. There was a
roar of applause and a clapping of
jeweled hands.
As they all rose from the tables,
and the music began again, Sammy
Richardson saw Audrey Bayne's face
ho profile. She was looking up at the
Marquis with an almost insane adora-
tion upon her face. -
They were all sitting in a circular
gallery looking down upon an arena
covered with sand.

and: stiffened. Homes required for Babies to be
The „Marquis de Senterre caught
hold -af little Sammy Richardson by
the Shoulderand flung him behind
him.
The long whip flickered and hissed
over the huge growling beasts that
seemed sinking lower and lower -al-
most flat with the sand of the arena.
The brutes were crouching, in a
moment they would spring.
A wild shriek carne from the -gal-
lery just as the biggest of the punas
was in the very act of springing.
The Marquis shouted loudly rt was
enough.
The Indian standing next •• to. Ca-
niillela Rose, raised his rifle and fired
three quick shots—the puma fell dead
in its spring uponSammy Richardson.
There was a fusilede above the
heads of the others, the Marquis ad-
vanced -upon them cursing,and they
slunk away growling and turning
sulky heads'.through,the archway by
which they had come:
Audrey Pyne leaned' over the bal-
cony dead white,
al-conydead-white, and incapable of mo-
tion. Sam;ny lay in a swoon a few
inches from the creature who had
sprung at him.
Then Miss Susie B. Yates and every
ane else there had the sensation of
their lives. Madame la Rose caught
Audrey up by the shoulder, tearing
her frock as she did so, and struck her
two swinging blows upon the face
with her open palet.
The diva's eyes blazed black fire;
her red lips were open like a Grecian
mask of tragedy.
A raging, terrible, wonderful fury!
They stood trembling', these cele-
brated people, as the voice lashed the
cowering girl below.
Almost word by bitter burning
word they were enabled to under-
stand. The secret was a secret no
longer.
And what Camille la Rose poured
out upon the head of Audrey Bayne
explained it all. Within a minute they
understood that in Paris not long ago,.
desiring toshow her power over a
celebrated man she loved, Camille had
dared him to fight a duel with one of
the most famous duelists and bullies
in France. She had done it lightly
and in the spirit of romance.
It was exactly like being in a small,
circus. The roof above their heads
was of glass, now, of course, quite
Meek and dull, but the gallery was
brilliantly illuminated. Sammy, cone
gatulaun"himself, had got Audrey,
quite close to him. Both of them were'
leaning over the cushioned edge of the
gallery, like the dress circle of al
theatre, and looking down into the'

all round the circle. Behind the spec
raters was a fiat carpeted promenade,'
and at a grand piano, in the dusk, l
Camille la Rose was playing quietly. i
All the guests stared down below,
waiting for what they should see, and
in n11 their minds was the sorrowful
thought—as they heard the plaintive,
music that the diva was making—that
never again would that supremely,
wonderful voice ravish the hearts of
mankind.
A door opened and closed with a
snap.`
A man in picturesque costume Came
down to the edge of the circle. His
'face was coffee -brown and he had a
nose like a hawk. lie wore a wide
felt I and crimson scar£ round his
sinwy throat. They saw at onee thst
he was a South American Indian.
Under one arm he carried a small re-.
peating rifle.. He leaned against the
pillar, a little distance away from
Sammy and Audrey, and waited, his
opal eyes ranging curiously over the
brilliant company.
There was a general hush in talk as.
Camille la Rose stopped playing.
Simultaneously as the lights of the
gallery were all lowered those in the
arena below leaped up in great illum-
ination.
Then, with a delightful thrill, they
all' saw the Marquis standing in the
centre of the circus. In his hand was
a heavy leather whip with a loaded
handle, and lie looked up and smiled
at them all,
Audrey caught held of Sammy's
hand. Her own little hand was burn-
ing hot. He saw that she eves in an
ecstsy of hero worship and false senti-
ment:
"Listen!" she whispered. "Here in-
deed is the .ideal night of a girl's
dreams. Now you understand."'
Down below in the arena a curtain
ruffled strangely. It moved again.
With a rattle, it was pulled aside by
an invisible hand.
Then, up in the gallery, there was a
deep, multiple gasp
"Ah—h—h—!"
Six great black -blue creatures
noiselessly glided into the arena. They
appeared as if by magic: They were
huge cats, long, sinuous and beautiful
with a diabolic beauty.
From a dim crowd—a blur—they
sorted themselves out into six padding
demons their oblique eyes shining like
emeralds Iit from within—incompar-
ably dangerous, incomparably splen-
did.
Audrey, stared fascinated as the
Marquis smiled and cracked his whip.
Camille la Rose had left the piano and.
was standing beside her. The Mar
quis saw Camille and kissed his hand.
Then he quietly lit a cigarette.
There was a dead silence up in the
gallery. Suddenly it was cut into by
a high hysteric voice, heard clearly by
every: one.
Audrey Bayne had lost grip of her-
self entirely.
"Sammy, if you really care" -They
saw her arm flash out and a little lace
handkerchief floated down below.
I"Sammy, if you really care, you will
fetch me my handkerchief. If the
Marquis can stay down there, you can
go_„
From the arena carne a sudden
sheet. From the gallery a cheery
"Right -o,"
With a chuckle, Sammy Richardson
swung himself over the balcony and
dropped lightly ` on to the sand. He
picked up the handkerchief, kissed it,
and •looked up at the red-haired girl
with the wild violet eyes and chalk -
white face who stared clown upon him.
There was a noise like that ofa
great dynamo down below—a multiple

gallery was flung open and the: Mar.-

Sammy Richardson.
The eyee of the Marquis were blaz-
ing with anger. He was about to
speak when` suddenly Camille with-
drew herseelf' from Audrey and turned
to meet him, •
Her face, which had grown dead
white and strained with agony, flushed
faintly. She clutched at her heart
and gave a little cry.
"Camille!" --it was Senterre's voice,
urgent, and alarmed.
It was a dramatic moment, All the
guests saw them there with clear dis-
tinctness. -
Suddenly Camille turned to them. A.
smile dawned upon her lovely lips.
They had never seen anything so
� beautiful in their lives before, She
stepped up to the Marquis, took hold
of his arra and led hint to the grand
piano. He stood there, wondering—

"Oh, Mother, we just had the most
fun, and I am so glad that I really
am a Happy Hustier now," sang Mary
as she returned at four o'clock in the
afternoon from attending her second
meeting of the Happy Hustlers' Club.
She had been invited to attend the
meeting of the previous week by her
little friend, Doris, that she might
learn something of their summer pro-
ject of canning. Her interest and en-

gree that she had accepted an invita-
tion to becomean active club member.

Tlio French press has been making
a good deal of protest against the pro•
posal of the Polish Government to 're.
move the remains of Chopin from the
Pere-Lach-aise Cemetery in Paris to
Warsaw. Although Poland influenced
Chopin's music, yet it was in Parrs,
where he lived and worked, that he
drew his • greatest inspirations. His
associations in France were made in

A -typewriter for writing down music
has been invented by; an Italian musi-

monstration of his invention recently

Not only can a composition be written
down as with pen and ink, but the use
of a transfer paper allows 'of many
copies being made at the same time:
The machine is worked with a mina•.

is moved from note to note, and the
action secures a correct position on
the stave. Transpositions is easy, and
the types include the three clefs re-
quired. It can also be used as an or-
dinary typewriter, thus making it pos-
sible to write in the words at the same
time as the music and also to insert.
any directions required. The cost, it
is: stated, will be rather less than that
