The scene was changed. The Circus lights had been put out, and so had the vast audience. The mighty city was generally immersed in deep slumber. Chiarini's tigers and devoured their evening meal and were, at rest; the black bear

had lain, down together; the clephants were dreaming of far Ceylon, and even the chattering. monkeys had suspended scratching operations until the rising of the sun. From one cage a pair of green eyes could be observed glowering in the direction of the Stag Hotel bar; they were the eyes of the sole remaining black panther; he was lamenting in his own unobtrusive way the

cur, which Chiarini had vainly tried to transform into a denizen of the forest, had been taken away, and naturally enough the black panther was mourning his lonely state.

My Yest-i less gaze wanders from the mocassined fect of IKE to the double clumped hob-nailed short sixteens of Julius Caesar. Yes, there can be no mistaking those well-known hoofs,, nor the ancient landmarks to which they are attached.
