In the Grip of Environment fig HENRY WINTHROP Cenirtght. 1904. kg T. C. McCror Jim Blakely, the clown, came dash Ing out of the ring luto the dressing tent aud stopped short Nellie Cos grove was sitting on top of the leaping pad, her usually merry eyes streaming wlth tears. IUelde her stood a man looking exceedingly awkward and uu comfortable. Circus folk are always resentful of the Intrusion of the outside world Into their domain, and the fact that this stranger wore a frock coat and an ex ceedlngly shiny silk hat was all that was needed to convince Jim that h was the cause of Nellie's tearful eyes. He strode up wratbfully, bis painted face In ludicrous contrast to th In tense tones of his vole. "See here," he said fiercely, "this Isn't any place for aa outsider, least of all for a bloomln' dude what com In and tnaulta one ot our girls. If you don't get out ot here quick you'll b sorry for It and I won't hart to call any 'Hey, Ruber to do if Spangles, th Great Dane, that did a pad riding act as well as leading "soar, jm P sn said njJirrrrBZT. troupe of trained dogs, pricked np ber ears knowingly and rose to her feet "Hey, Ruber the circus wsr cry from time Immemorial, was no new sound to ber, snd she looked affectionately at the left leg of the stranger's carefully creased trousers, deciding that a spot about four Inches below th knee would be the strategic point for a grip. Nellie raised a band. -Don't. Jlmf she said plaintively. "He hasn't said anything to me. It's Just that they want to take me away." Take you away!" be cried incredu lously. "Why, you've bean with th old show ever since you were a little kiddle, ever since your ma died of yel low fever In Bio, and we picked you up the next season. That was way back In 1862, and you were a little shrimp of twelve. Take you away! I'd like to see the man who'd try It!" "It's the money," she explained de spairingly. "I'm an heiress, and this gentleman Is the lawyer. He wants me to go back to New York with him tonight" For a single moment Blakely's frame grew rigid. The lawyer, a keen ob server of men, followed clearly the mental strain the circus man was un dergoing, lie could see what the girl bad never seen, that this man with the uncouth mask of sine and carmine lov ed the little rider, and in the brief struggle be read the fight of an honest man with his own desires. In that short space Blakely made his fight When be spoke his vole was cold snd commonplace. "We always said," b commented, "that your mother's people must be of the right sort I'm glad of It Work with the tents Isn't for such as you." Then be turned, but more than the makeup came off on the towel as he hurriedly changed bis face for the dog act As one In a dase be put bis pets through their paces, snd after the show was over and the concert audience was slowly filing Into the show lot be still went about his work as though in a dream. . , He bad loved and watched over Nel lie ever since tlutt time In Rio Ja neiro when, "way back In 1893," they bad picked up the little slip of a girl, the sole survivor of a circus troupe which bad played through Bouth America the season before. II bad known Frank Ooagrore well, a fine, gentlemanly fellow, who bad run off with an English girl when ber parents had objected to ber marrying the "riding master" of an English caravan. They bad come to America to es cape memories, and she bad taken up. with circus life as willingly as though she had not been reared In luxury. It was Blakely who bad persuaded Del more to take the girl into the troupe, and It was he who bad completed her education as a rider. Before a broken leg compelled him to tak to clown ing be had been a wonderful bare back somersaulter himself. He bad hoped some day to make her bis wife when the neat egg In a dry savings bank bad grown large enough to warrant the purchase of a country place and assure a competence when they should have retired. Until then be bad spoken no word of lore, but rather had encouraged ber to look upon him a ber foster father. Now be was to lose ber and all that be had planned and worked and saved for. But It was best for ber that was enough for him, H tog no put Jft tttf rlzuE bank ) dint after supper. He had no heart to lt there about the bnuk anil hear i the comment that would be made about i 1 the good fortune, and he went out back of the drvKHlug tout, nn.t. lighting th ; short stub of a ple ho carried, blew ; great clouds ot smoke Into the soft evening air, as he tried to think what the circus would bo on the morrow, with no little Nell to make every out merry. There In the soft light that cams through the tent she found him. Out front all waa life and movement Ileit they were practically alone. 8li slip ped down beside him on the overturn fit manger and slipped her hand Into hi. Ilia horny palm clied over her tiny fiiigtrs, and he put away the pipe, but gave no other sign. It was she who opened the conversation. "I feel like a dream girl tonight" she began confidingly. "Don't you re member bow we used to plan that U we ever got money w would start s show of our own, and only have to the company people we really liked and mak them do only on act apiece r H laughed shortly. "It's funny what rot w think. Now you've got the money, you're got to go and Mve up to it It would never do for an betress to rid In th ring." "I don't wsnt to go a bit" b pro tested. "This Is th life I know and love. I want to stay her and be my self, not another girl all dressed up, with servants snd all that sort of thing." lie turned on ber sbsrpty. "tiee here, Nell," be commanded. "Don't talk like that Ifs bard work doing two acts twice a dsy. Iff not tor you. my girl. Make up your mind to that" She turned up the turf with th to of a dainty shoe. "I don't wsnt to make up my mind to It" the protested. "I don't care for the old money. I want to be here with you snd all the rest. You hurt tne!" she broke off suddenly, releasing ber hand from his grasp and rubbing It "I didn't mean to hurt you, child,1 he said sadly. "I was thinking." He con Id not tell ber bow that one sen tence had torn at bis heartstrings, al ready sore. He rose. "Wall, I've got to go in and get Spangles ready. I'll say goodby after th ahowV' II turn ed on bis heel, and presently sh could hear him calling to th dog. Then other sounds of preps ration began, snd presently she, too, went inside. The "round top" was already packed In the wagon aud on Its way to the cars when Nellie emerged from the women's side of the dressing tent v.iiero the lawyer waited Impatiently for bis charge. She went up to the bos property man. "Put my trunk la the wagon, Sam," abs said. "I'm going on with th show." The lawyer blustered and stormed, but sh was adamant and finally be appealed to Blakely. "You can't go with us, Nell." said the clown, bis face as white as though be had not removed bis ring mskeup. "There Is no reason why you should stay .on." She made him a ssucy courtesy. 'There Is every reason, good sir," sh smiled. "In th first place, this Is my life, the only one I know or want and besides" she went very close and whispered In his ear "besides, I found out back of the tent there that I- loved you." . And after that what could Blakely say? Tke Dia.re.ee. Uncle Jsred snd Uncle Benjamin made a sorry pslr. True there was blood on Uncle Benjamin's forehead, and he looked white and faint But Uncle Jared, who tried to support him. walked with a very pronounced limp, displayed only one coat tall where two should have been and was rampled and bedraggled generally In a way to sug gest partldpatlon la a riot 'What's happened to you two?" ask ed a townsman. "That pesky colt of Benjamin's run away and th rowed him Just as I came along," Uncle Jared answered. "I'm giving him a lift along toward borne."

"Don't see much difference betwixt ye, Judgln' by the display o wreckage," the neighbor persisted. "There's consider!)! difference, I tak it" Uncle Jared answered, with conclusive dignity.
