( Its sound had hardly ceased, when a boy entered, a yellow 'envelope in his hand, calling laconically: "Ryerson, Ryerson, telegram for Ryerson 1" At the summons, a strango figure rose from a corner of the Inclosure. Its face was painted Into a perpetual grin, Its head was bald and shining, sa\e for the regular occurrence of bright yellow spots, its costume was white and baggy, and Its feet were long and flapping, like, some impos sible animal. "I'm Ryerson," said the clown. ' Give us the wtre," M The boy handed it over, together with a stub of pencil for receipt slg ' nature, and made oft. ltyerson opened the envelope and read Its contents. His first start was of amazement, and then, as he re-read the message, his face, und*r Its paint ed grin, became set In hard lines. The literal, unemotional telegraph had brought him: q We get turned out of the house to day at five. Can't you do noting? "FATHER." Ltterly at a loss, be walked vacant ly around tho Inclosure, his great feet flapping on the ground. The second bell rang, and the living contents of the Inclosure seemed to throw Itself through a flap In the can vas, to be greeted with a clatter of ap plause from the tiers of human faces around the ring. -/* cv He did not know they had gone. His one realization was of an old man and an old woman, fifty miles away In the village of Lynburg, who that very afternoon were to lose the only shelter they had. ( "Can't you do nothing?" The words seemed to burn his poo^ brain. A ? harsh voice broke In on him. "You Ryerson, beat It Into the ring! G/t on the Job, quick !" It was Malnwarlng, the proprietor, Jeweled, and hard as nails. w*lio "had bustled through the inclosure, and was gone as quickly as he had come. v Ryerson, distracted "with anxiety, walked not into the tent, but out be hind It. Before him was the proprie tor's wagon. He hesitated a moment, and, as the <Y,lsion of his father's seamed old face came to him, glanced quickly round him, rtin clumsily ? up the movable steps, arid Into the wagon. Malnwarlng's small desk stood be fore him. He ran to It. It was locked. It was only a chance, at best, but In desperation he struck its front a blow with his clendied fist, and the flimsy affair came apart under his hand. He threw up the flap, rummaged rapidly through the papers, opened drawer after drawer, until he hap-' pened upon a familiar leather-bound purse. He opened It, his eyes glisten ing amid the cracking paint, counted the contents rapidly, and crowded It Into an Inner pocket. In a moment more he was on the ground outside the wagon, unobserved. A church steeple rase over the trees at the end of the field. It was three o'clock. He had acted on Impulse, and as he realized with a sinking of the heart, in vain. He could never reach Lynburg In two hours. He looked round him like a hunted animal. As he did so, a thought struck his driven brain like an Inspiration. The balloon! Ll'6 knew balloons, hnvlng iViade an occasional ascension to help out a regular balloonist during u former "engagement" that had featured In his checkered career. He walked rapidly to the rope lad der which hung over i^>e side of the basket, and, climbing it, almost fell Into the light wicker framework. Slg nor Melllnl was already there, at work arranging his ballast. He started to hl? feet as the strange apparition wriggled over the side. "Oh, It's you, Ryeraon," he said. "Wby ain't you In the teftt?" "I want the balloon, Melllnl," said the clow*, **Qst ont of tt." "Ah, Tdlt yot!^^*lddln,,,, said the dl? Unguished slgnor. "It's too bloomla' "Uet out," said Ityeraon oiuinouaiy. "Xle! out, or I'll throw you out."

Jumped for i>u* side. and slid rapidly to the ground, lie shouted as ho lahded, and peoplo began to nut out of the tent. No goober had he gone over the Hide, however, when Ryerson pulled the pat* ent release cord, and shot reeling Into the air. ? He rcmemherfed little of that p4?> Neuter ascension. as 1)0 looked buck *t It later. He remembered how slowly he seemed to move, hut In the right direction. After an eternity, his' Minium;; eyes made out a familiar cluster of Iiounom helow him, qnd In hi* agitation, he pulled the valve-cortfr too fur. tind crashed down lirto the orchard of his father'* house, to land In the top of an apple tree. A? he climbed painfully down ftoaft It an old man ran from the hooaa Shout lug, to stop In amazement as ha recognlted In the strauge, bedraggled figure, Ills son. "Well cried the old man, us they wet. "la that how you Circus folks travel? You got my telegram, son?" answered ltyersoh. "I got It. father, and here's your answer." He reached iuto pocket, and baud*, ed the wallet to the old nvnu, whose eyes shone. "Ye got tlve money, tjont" tie almost shouted. "Me'n mother won't hove to get out?" lit* threw his arms round the young mail's neck, almost crying for Joy'. At that moment his lftother ran /mm the house, Htid strange painted figure that he was', Jhvuw her anus round him, and kissed him. tenderly. / When the qld bum explained what the boy hud brought, mothorllke. she thought less of the saved home, and more of the son who hod saved it. v "1 knew my boy would take cure of us,*' she sold fondly, h^r eyes glisten ing, and then, returning to tho manner Of the old (lays, "you go upstairs. Wil lie, and wash that stuff off your face, and get Into a suit of your old clothes. You always, was turnln' up unex pected !" Ryorson said little at supper, after he and his father had packed the bal loon into Its basket. It was enough to have his mother hover over him, arid Idle his plate -with food, a tid .hear -his I father recount, oVer and over again : "flow set back that old skinflint were when he coin? to put us out, and got his money for his trouble." ICarly the next morning, after a sleepless night, Ryorson bade his fa ther and mother good-hy. They were too old to go and see him "act," and he explained that the circus was going jfln a long trip now, and that they might I jl?* s.t>e him for a year or more. Tltoy kissed him fondly, and he set off over the dewy fields, looking back from the crest of the bill, to wave a farewell to the two old figures In 'the doorway of the gray, little farmhouse. At the edge of the town, he found the fatnlH&t wagons, and the hurry ing men, the pole.** going up as by magic, and the canvas spreading as If endowed with life. He pushed through the confusion, seeking the proprietor's wagon. He met a man he did not know, and Inquired. "The boss? Back of the fat lady's wagon there. Better keep away from him, stronger. He's hot today. Crazy man stole his cash, and went off In the balloon yesterday, and they ain't heard nbthin' of him since." The man went about his business with a friend ly nod, but Ityerson walked In the di rection indicated to the proprietor's wagon. ; ? ?, I '''' He mounted the step?, a faint sick ness In his heart, and knocked 011 the door. Mainwarlng's harsh voice bade him enter. I He did so, and as the bulf-necked man seated at the little desk caught sight of him, he seemed to lose the power of speech. Ills face beenms purple, A and then paled!. Then he | seemed to explode. "Well, ril be hanged I It's Ityerson !" Ryerson walked up to- htm and said I doggedly: "I came back as quick as I cauld, ? Mr. Main waring. I guess you wont me. But I ain't crazy. I had to have that money, and I took it, that's nil. Malnwaring stared at him a mo ment, in utter amazement. Then : "You came back? You ain't crazy? Guess I must be, then. What'd you* come back for? You swipe my balloon and a wad, and then you come back. I don't get it. What's the game?" Ityerson told him the whole srtory. He finished with: "Lock me up, if you warit to. The balloon ain't hurt, and I'll pay the cash back when I get out But make it somewhere farther down the road, so the folks won't get on. It'd kill them, sure." ,, He finished, and lool^cd down at his dusty fefet, waiting for the blow to fall. There waq no sound in the wagon until he heaiM the scratching "bf a pen. He looked up fearfully, to see warlng laboriously writing, his tongue in hlB cheek. When he had finished, he folded the paper carefully, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Ryerson. He then got up from the desk, and strode out of the wagon, and Ryerson heard his roaring blasphemy at the tent raisers. ij$ Dazed, Ryerson opened the envelope, and Id Malnwarlog's. labored hand, read th^ following t y "Ton ityerson, I guess you're ? fool. You get out of* this circus* qtitck. You go to Chapman, where my brother runs a lumber mill, and yon see whst he ses to yon.
