I.ucy Amelia and her mother. Mrs Harry T. MiiiKin .
visited the circus in the , v. nlnir end as they went around the
liienaijerie tent the child stood as if cntruneo.l h, fore the catre

weeks old. and the prides of the Mn menatrerle. The Mlncriiea

Wanted to See Big Kilties Again.
The evening performance of the circus closed about 10:15
o'clock, and Iucy Amelia, tired out from watching the beau
tiful ladles In their pink and white skirts whirling around the
ritiKfl on the pretty white horses, and the ladles In red union
suits swinging airily on the swings far up In the top of the
tent, pleaded with her mother to take her to Bee the "big
i:!:ties " again, not knowing that the menagerie tent waa
closed to the public. Mrs. Miliums, anxious to reach home
before the slorm which was gathering broke, hurried her child
away to the street car.
The adventure began Just then, for In the rush and crush
to reach the afreet car. Mrs. Mingues released the hand of
her baby girl for a minute, nnd when she climbed on to the
car, the child was nowhere to be found. The excited mother
was c arried six blocks before she finally succeeded In attract
ing the attention of the conductor and stopping tho car.

He reached the circus grounds nnd found everything dark,
nnd tho utornl beating furiously upon the huge canvas city.
The grounds ore flooded, the pay flags were dripping their
dolor over the hlg, soaked te nts, nnd tired canvas hands were
wading ankle 'deep In mud over the grounds. No one had
pcen a baby girl.
The father, aided by friends and volunteers, hurried front
house to house through the neighborhood, malting Inquiries In
valm All night the excitement grew, and the number of
searchers Increased.
Just at dnybr al the word pnsscd that the child had been
found. There was a rush towards the circus ground, nnd
before the father could reach the tent an animal trainer,
nrmcd with an Iron spike and a heavy revolver, had entered
the cage, picked up the child, and escaped.
"T'aby kltth scratched mo," said Lucy Amelia after she
me. and then 1 fell asleep."
"And 1 want to go back and play with the bu little pus
sies." she walled as her father hugged her clmc in his arms
How She Cot Into the Cage.
From l.ucy Amelia's own story of her adventure it seems
that the child, separated from her mother, bad d. 1. rmin. d
to go buck to the menagerie tent and g. t another glimpse at
the "big kittles." She made her way through the io.--t.i,-throng,
and Just ns the rain commenced to pour and the wird

the cubs were thus left free to (l.iwl fi , ,. to the. o 1 lea"
