"Out in the berry pasture. The tiger may have caught them by this time."
"What tiger?"
"The one that's broken loose from the show."
"I just came from the tent, and they don't know anything there of any tigers breaking loose. Who told you about it?"
"Mr. Tarbox. The tiger chased him all the way home from the woods."
"That is strange. Did you see him, Mr. Tarbox?"
"I heard him roar," answered Tarbox, "and he was close behind me all the way."
"Are you sure it was a tiger?"
"No; it may have been a lion. Anyhow, it was some wild critter."
