MY DEAR WIFE, -The strike at Ard- ley Moor shows no sign of ending; in- deed it seems likely to go on forever. I don't know which are to blame, the masters or the men. I wish one or the other would give in. A11 the regiment except my company is away riot quell- ing in other parts of the country, so we are always under arms night and day. Charlie is quite well, but I have not seen him since lunch. Mary, the new housemaid, came up this afternoon asking for him. She says he went out out about 2 30, and had not returned at 4.30. I suppose the young rascal is off on 'one of his rambles. ,H•ope you are enjoying yourself, dearie. Charlie and I both send our best love. Your affectionate fond old hubby, CHARLES VANE. P.S.-•You knowBarrington Thwaite, the fellow who tried to cut me out with you? He has just been appointed a local J. P. I don't envy him his duties these times, though he did threaten me with horrid punishment when I tarried you off. Good night, darling 1 The above letter finished. Capt.Vane of the third regiment sealed it and ad- dressed it to Mrs Charles Vane, Hotel Metropole, Sandport. "There," he said, "that's done. Can't bear writing, but that will give the lit- tle woman and her mother something to talk about for a week. "Well Reilly," as the sergeant of that name entered the room, "what now i" "Av ye plaze, sor," replied Reilly, saluting, ''the man from the polis offus is outside, an' he wants to see yourse'f the colliers has : hwore to fire the pit to -night, and there'll be the plague and all if the sojers don't be there." "Very well, send the man in," "Yis, sor," and with another salute Sergeant Reilly retired, sending a pri- vate to show "the polisman to the cap t'in's room." Like his superior officer, Sergeant Reilly had alively hatred for police and all thatconcerned it. As he would often say at mess, "Shoutin' furriners an' them burrds of docent sport; but foirin on yer own flesh and blood was a horse of another color en- tirely 1" And his sentiments were in - ,variably received with acclamation. The upshot of Inspector Arkwright's interview with Captain Vane was a command to the men to turn out, fully armed. The order was instantly obey- ed, and in a few minutes the captain and his men were marching (through the gathered gloom across ArdleyMoor to the .seat of the trouble. As they neared the pit and passed through the rows of Iniiters' cottages, the few wo- Inen acid children left at home Caine to their doors and reviled them for the part they were about to play in the struggle betweenaster and men.But the soldiers took `r) nntiee of the abuse nor of the missiles thrown i that if he was to sage any of the 4)4 buildings he and his. company would arrive Dore too soon. A red glare glowed.aainstthe cloudy sky andlit their pati,, Nearer .and nearer they advanced, and they saw long fiery tongues of flame leaping higlifrom the bank of coal roundthe pit's mouth.

"Will you leave those grounds and re- turn to your homes ?" shouted Thwaite thus urged. But there was no sinceri- ty :in his tone, indeed he longed to force the_ soldiers to extreme measures, since he saw how distasteful such a urse would be to his old rival, Capt. ane.

The lad flew to his friends, and as he was caught in his father's arms a great cheer that ended in a stifled sob went up from every man. taA LION TAMING. .'here.- are' tamers awl trainers, e tamer is simply, a roan of unlimited nerve. A trainer has nerve and judg. b� inert, ]Sly friend tells me that a train- r er can teach a Ann aboutas many tricks - as: eon be taught a dog, Sometimes. the lion himself will 'unconsciously suggest a• new trick, "I had to train four lions to jump a gate, One of them was so stubborn that I determined to leave himm for the last. When, I game to hint he was lying in a corner. I began striking, him, ` Re sprang u andcame toward me. He had a wick ed look, so I hit him a sharp blew from below on the end of the nose with my cane, the only weapon T take into the den, The blow stung him so it turned hirir around, and, as if to escape an- other, he jumped up to the bars and remained standing with his fore feet u on' one of them. •He gave inc a look which said plainly, 'I'J! stop here if you won't do it again.' He looked superb standing there drawn up to his full height. So I sat down on the gate,. lit a ciggarette, and kept him in that position till I had finished. I trained the other „lions in the act, and a fine appearance the four made standing against the bars. "Another friend of mine was in the audience when a lioness killeda trainer at the Paris Hippodrome.. She had been trained to approach him from behind. rise on her hind legs, and place her Front -paws upon -his shoulders: She did so this time. Then quietly thrusting her head over his shoulder, she seized himy the throat and liter- ally tossed hirh over her back. The other lions in the den fell upon him, and though he was rescued from the den; he died within an hour." • I asked the trainer why he never armed himself with more than a cane: Tamers rarely did, he said. There was no use. A lion's attack was like a thunderbolt. One bite, one blow with the claw was deadly. The men sta- tioned outside with carbines andred- hot. irons are there only to drive the lion off the body of his victim, so that he can be got out of the den alive, and the spectators saved the horror of gee- ing them devoured. .
