Jim and Douglas had barely left the
Jot wheu Deacon Elversou's small,
round bi?ad slipped cautiously around
the corner of the dressing tent. The
little doacon glanced exultantly about
him. He was monarch of all he sur
veved. It was very thrilling to stand
here on this forbidden frround smelling
til" sawdust, gazing at the big red wag
ons, studying the unprotected circus
properties and listening to the l!;rhten
Jng tempo of the baud.
"Did you see him?" shouted Stronv;.
who bad followed closely upon Elver-
Bou's Lied?
The little deacon started. Strong was
certainlv a distcrbitv" factor at times.
"Yes. 1 I saw him."
."Well?"
He he-dldn't see her."
"What did he do?" Strong was be-
Dgjjitii.
Elverson was thrust from the tent
poon after, spitting sawdust and much
fliscomfiteu. hy tbe laughing perform
ers who followed him. His knees af
most gave way beneath him when Bar
kr came out cf the ring, snapping hi
long black whip. '
"Oct out 'f here, you bloke!" roared
Barker, and Elverson "got."
No one had remembered to tell the
.room that Polly was not to ride to
night, so Bingo wns brought out ns
visual when their "turn" approached.
"Take him back. Tom." Tolly culled
from the ; entrance when she learned
Bingo was waiting, "and bring Batbu
rian. "I'm not going on tonight. Elolse
!s going to riae in my place."
This was tbe second time today that
Bingo had been led away without go
ing Into the ring. Something in his
big, wondering eyes made Polly follow
him and apologize. He was very
proud, was Bingo, and very conscien
tious. He felt uneasy when be saw
the other horses oing to their work
without him.
"Never mind, Bingo," she said, pat
ting his great, arched neck; "we'll
show 'em tomorrow." He rubbed his
satiny nose against her cheek. "We'll
make them sit up again. Barker says
our act's no good that I've let down.
But It's not your fault. Bingo. I've
not been fair to you. I'll give you a
chance tomorrow. Y'ou wait. He'll
never suy it again. Bingo, never
again!"
