It was he who twined the ten- drils about the wires, and it wus be who at all seasons furnished the gilded poroe- lair vases that held the flowers. : These flowers were a great luxury to Zette. This state of things did not Img con- tinne, however. The young girl was now 20 and Jacques 26. One evening he persented his friends with tickets to the circus. It was the last day of a long con- tinned fair, and Zette and her mother had nothing todo. So they decked them- | selves in their best and went early. - Mme. Floury was moch amused with the horses, the rope dancers, the clowns, the trained dogs. Zette thought only of Jacques, whose name en the programme occupied a line to itself, and whose ap- . paratus was hanging up at the top of the high tent. The latter consisted of bars, ‘with copper balls that shone, a maze of ' trapeses, ropes and pulleys, and the young girl, a little frightened, inquired if it all was secure. At last the first part of the perform- ance was over, and keeping time to a slow waltz Jacques appeared. He was. as beautiful as a god in his silk tights, _ that displayed to advantage his superbly molded form, and. for the rest, his cos- tume consisted of a black satin calecon, spangled with gold. After having responded by a bow to the applause of the crowd snd by a smile to Zette's smile, he darted up a rope to his trapeze. : The preliminaries were gone through with amid prolonged bravos, for the handsome. gymnast was a favorite, and it was truly a pleasure to see him act— the supple body so pliant, yet so marvel- ously exact in its movements. Then there came silence—even the « or- chestra was still It was to be the bit of the evening and a new feat that was to give an add- : ed glory to the circus. He was to leap from one trapeze to another, with his ‘ face and bead covered, then snddenly drop from this giddy beight upon a net stretched below him. The two trapeze . were swinging with a regular movement. Jacques, standing om a little board, hi: head enveloped in a black velvet bag, The crowd A piercing cry rent the air. Missing the second trapeze, which had been badly regulated, Jacques fell to the net, but it proved too frail to support his weight, and striking upon the seats he ! rolled to the ground, where ho lay mo- | tionless With a ory of borror, Zette sprang $0 | her feet, rigid and pale, her eyes fixed | arm, “Come, "’ ‘she said in a hollow! | volos. ~ upon the spot where the men were now away the apparently lifeless | body of her friend.

He was just coming | out of the refreshment room when she called him. ““The net broke the force of the fall,” | said the man, whose face looked. trou- ' bled, even under the paint. ‘‘The doctor | says he will be lame for life, and that | this ends for bim his profession as a | gymnast.
