Joined a small circus or became a tiny circus all by itself in summertime. One day Jean walked into our newsroom and told Charlie Barber, the news editor, a hard luck story. No work tor long, dull times and ponies to be fed had exhausted every penny that he had. He was at the end of his rope ana needed a friend. Though a stranger to us. he sure hit the right guy when he found Charlie. Jean's outfit was Intact. His little tent, gadgets and banners were packed in the single truck that transported the entire enterprise. His ponies trudged behind tor the short week-end jumps between hamlets. But there was no place to go and no money to move the show if there had been. Charlie said: "Why don't you set up and play here for a week, to get on your feet again?" "This is a pretty big town for my little show." said Jean. "I've no way to let folks know rm here. In cleaned clean." Forget it," said Charlie. "Find a lot on the outskirts and go to It." I cant buy any advertising." said the showman. Well, I still can write a press notice." said Charlie, "and this sheet rm working for is soft on show folks. Its publisher once walked the ties back home a busted trouper. Just like yoa So Jean found a lot and Charlie wrote some stories about the little exhibition. Folks went out to see the show, which was as wholesome and clever as it was tiny. Jean made a little suite for himself, thanked Charlie from the bottom of his heart and took to the road again. Belasco drove his own truck from village to village. He set up and ballybooed his show: fed. bedded and groomed his ponies: did it all with cheap local help as he moved along. He didn't deserve the heart aches and the fate which befell him. It was lore of the life and for his ponies which made him stick it out. He was Just making expenses as he moved southward. He kept his pony family together and watched for the telegram which every strug gling trouper awaits: "Join the fif teenth: twenty weeks guaranteed Such glad news was never to reach Jean. The truck that carried him on his weary way chugged onto a railroad crossing in Virginia and stalled. A train waa coming. Jean was killed. It needs be said again and often, that no kinder, bigger hearts beat than those ot the world ot make believe. A good Samaritan of stage or big top almost always happens along when a showman Is in trouble. No one thereabouts knew anything about Belasco except that he was an obscure performer and dead. The potters' field could have claimed htm. but the Samaritan ap peared. He was Tex Sherman, itin erant carnival and rodeo press agent. That was tine, except that Tex was in the same fix that got us acquainted with Jean. He was broke, too. Nevertheless Jean must have a funeral: so he told the skeptical undertaker. Tex consulted his Billboard, the showman's Bible. The local tele graph office got a dosen Identical telegrams, addressed to as many performers across the land. All went collect and they read: M.C.P.
