The day of the trial arrived. From far and near the people gathered in the arena and outside its
walls. The king and his advisers were in their places, opposite the two doors. All was ready. The
sign was given. The door under the king opened and the lover of the princess entered the arena.
Tall, beautiful and fair, his appearance was met with a sound of approval and tension. Half the
people had not known so perfect a young man lived among them. No wonder the princess loved
him! What a terrible thing for him to be there!
As the young man entered the public arena, he turned to bend to the king. But he did not at all
think of the gr
eat ruler. The young man’s eyes instead were fixed on the princess, who sat to the
right of her father.
From the day it was decided that the sentence of her lover should be decided in the arena, she had
thought of nothing but this event.
The princess had more power, influence and force of character than anyone who had ever before
been interested in such a case. She had done what no other person had done. She had possessed
herself of the secret of the doors. She knew behind which door stood the tiger, and behind which
waited the lady. Gold, and the power of a woman’s will, had brought the secret to the princess.
She also knew who the lady was. The lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom. Now and then
the princess had seen her looking at and talking to the young man.
The princess hated the woman behind that silent door. She hated her with all the intensity of the
blood passed to her through long lines of cruel ancestors.
Her lover turned to look at the princess. His eye met hers as she sat there, paler and whiter than
anyone in the large ocean of tense faces around her. He saw that she knew behind which door
waited the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. He had expected her to know it.
The only hope for the young man was based on the success of the princess in discovering this
mystery. When he looked at her, he saw that she had been successful, as he knew she would
succeed.
Then his quick and tense look asked the question: “Which?” It was as clear to her as if he
shouted it from where he stood. There was not time to be lost.
The princess raised her hand, and made a short, quick movement toward the right. No one but her
lover saw it. Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena.
He turned, and with a firm and quick step he walked across the empty space. Every heart stopped
beating. Every breath was held. Every eye was fixed upon that man. He went to the door on the
right and opened it.
