Trn acrobats seized tne girl in A.;r .trnne muscular arms nnd flini Itr upon the upper berth. Some one fcminded a speech and Madeline, between gisnlcs of embarrassment ud the brovos of the crowd, prn tUimed her prent happiness and mtitode to tnem mi. Wkfn it was time for Uon to mike a speech it was discovered Iht he had disappeared. During tie merrr-mnkins and confusion be kid flipped from the car to me one joining, thrown himself on a couch h the smoking room and fallen iileep. His absence was a signal for the trowd to disperse, though none of them realiied as Madeline did (since i one else knew that t on did not Ion her) that the celebration of Hi wedding was like pouring vinegar Into, an open wound. "Damn!! Madeline muttered. "Why fcdfhey hare to make all tlt fuss? Jut when he see-mer to cure some feint for me they had to come in tod spoil everything! But I don't are: I wont care: i nt nil wite. And, ao help me, nothing be does will lend me away from him! Bat .because she loved him and teausft more than her pride was hit by his indifference she burst bt? bitter sobs that shook her from lead to foot. Dirliiht crept under the blinds streaking a pattern of yellow on Jfhe (trip of carpet beside her bed. It side gray and bleak the white- tubed walls of the stateroom and ihowed the girl's swollen eyelids, tie tense lines about her mouth, lad the bluish pallor of hpr face. Madeline rose, swaying dizzily, and wred at her reflection In the' mir- m, "My wedding night," she Jaugh d grimly. "My wedding night! Well, th joke's on me! What a hog I bek:" tie bathed her face in cold wa- , ter, opened her makeup box and j proceeded to rouge her cheeks and tpi. "hen her appearance was improved Bhe opened the stateroom w and peered into the aisle. It m Mill in darkness. A draft of ld air made her shiver. She lifted ihawl from the untouched berth, pulled it about her bare shoulders wd. then crept cautiously, noise lessly down the corridor. On right and left doors were closed, but from the slated transom issued snores and audible breathing. She stepped out on the platform and stood ii the chill morning air, letting the wind tangle her curls until her befogged senses cleared a trifle. Thei afce we it into tbe next car. The smkinfi reoia doer wbi ajar. Q(m, im h-w w44ws suit, sprawled en the eohf one rn flung over ki bead, the ehe kaftg ing limqs at his sie. Her lips twisted as sbe ttoe4 looking at kin. Taea, wkh ft barf defiant toss ef her head, afee em tered the room, closed tbe dee be hind her and crossed to his eirie. She bent over him and plaeed her hand on his forehead. He moved, opened his eyes, blink ed in bewilderment and then sat up right. "Has the gang gone yet?" he asked. "Gone? It's morning. I didnt want any one to find you here. It might cause talks.' "Morning!" He looked towards the window. "Good Lord! Hare I slept here all night? "You have." "Oh, I'm sorry. Why did you let me The trip was an unusually long one and the circus train did not arrive at its destination until after 10 o clock. Long before that hour, however, in spite of the festivities that had kept them awake so late, most of the performers were moving about, busy st chores. Lines of stockings and handkerchiefs hung across the car aisle. Letters were written and clothing mended. Band instruments were tuned and polished. The devout ones, in preparation for church or mass, were dressed and ready to leave the car when it pull ed into the siding near the lot where the circus performance was to be held. Con, who always attended mass when it was possible, asked Made line if she wanted to accompany him. She agreed eagerly, but when she added that they might have a priest remarry them with a church ceremony, he frowned and eaid it could be done later when they play ed a longer engagement somewhere. By one o'clock, when they re turned from services, the tents had been raised and Con strolled off to inspect his cage of cats. While the men who cared for and fed the animals were to be trusted, Con never failed to visit them. An ach ing tooth, an ingrown nail or an irritating insect might cause bis own death. Tho new Bengal tiger, in a cage alone, sna rled viciously and Made line, beside her husband, shrank back with a little cry of terror. , Con- laughed at--her '-fears. "The poor thing is nasty because she isn't used to confinement. But Isn't she a beauty? Don't believe I ever saw a handsomer animal. Wait nntil your spirit is broken, old lady," he added, leaning near the bnrs. "Don't do that!" Madeline rasped. "That's no wny to begin, be said, turning to- her. "The first thing you have to do Is to conquer your own fear. I think we'll have your first rehearsal tins afternoon. Xot today. Con! Wait until I'm not so nervous. "If I do there'll never be a re hearsal. The only way to overcome nervousness Is to take the bit be tween your teeth now, Tes, after lunch we'll see how you can behave in a cage of lions.
