But the drive was no; long. and once
out Of the buggy, the boys gave their
whole attention Ia the sigh, seeing. and
the admonitions they had received had
the fate Of the seeds which once fell by
the way.side. The Deacon had his
hands full when the panoramic pa
geant" appeared. The three older boys
forgot all their promises. and wornied
their way through the crowd that made
the street almost impossible, 10 the
curbstone. where they stood .'rapt in
as,onishment," ~ the old anthem has it.
Ted could not follow, his hand being
firmly held by the Deacon, who vsinly
tried to attract the attention Of the boys,
Of whom he now and then caught n
glimpse.

said the Deacon, yengefully.
But there seemed To he a possibility
that he would not get them home, for
when the last chariot passed, the boys
started with the crowd, and the staid
Deacon had to trot along too, whether

heavy, and the Deacon had not taken
off his flannels, and he felt like ignoring
his position, dropping his ora:Ory. and

Suddenly he came upon his party
talking with an acquaintance. But he
was too breathless to say any thing, and
between the crowd aud the determined
boys, he found himself hurrying toward
the great white tents At the other end If
the town. II was useless TO resist, so
he gave up the contest and soon became
almost as eager to go On as the boys
themselves. There were the usual
scenes on the circus-ground-the shout
ing agents, the flaming sh~o~-bills, the
time-worn accidental escape" Of the
"wild man." and the mysterious sounds
from the tents, which the boys were

II the Deacon had walked all the way
into town, the boys made up lost time
on the way home, and more than tha;
they all talked a. once, and he could
hardly hear his own voice when he
spoke to the horse. So they were left

they were bemoaning their lack Of
funds, he said impressively "Save your

No one noticed this remark eIcep. Ted.
and it was so simply worded tina. he
understood it, and accordingly, when
they were passing the village store, he
insisted on going in. Presently he came
