Bennie Crandal continued to spell out the
lengthy advertisement, now and then stop
ping to make some remark to Tom Evans
concerning his admiration and approval of the
program, until the schoolbell rang.
Great guns There's the bell. You'd
better come along, Ben, or you'll be late,
sure's you're living"
Bennie reluctantly departed, and when the
two boys reached the schoolhouse they found
the doors locked.
Don't let's ring!" exclaimed Tom. We're
late anyhow and we might as well stay out.
Well get scolded whatever we do"
That's so" assented Bonnie, whose mind
reverted lovingly to the yellow posters.
"'Taint playing hockey neither, cause we

Say, Tom,' meditated Bennie, kicking
along a small pebble for the sake of employ

'You bet!" replied Tom, inelegantly.
"Well-oh, say! Look ahere, let's do it,"
DO what?" asked Tom, mildly, aston
ished at Bennie's excited manner of pro-
pounding the question.
''Why, let's join-let's be circus men, and

The Crandal and Evans families were not
very much surprised at this new amusement
OF the boys, for they were given to novelties
in the way of recreation; but Grace Crandall,
Ben's eldest sister, overheard an arrangement
Tom and her mischievous brother had plan
ned for the furtherance of their desires.
She at once told her mother, who in turn,
said nothing to the boys about the matter,
but consulted with Toms father.
Mr.. Evans agreed to allow Mr. Crandall to
settle the matter in his own way, and thus
It was that the boys plans were not inter
fered with.
Ben would have been much surprised had he
seen his father in close conversation with the
proprietor that morning, chuckling and nod
ding, as if he were relating a good joke.
When, at parting, he shook hands with Mr..
Rideout, the proprietor of the show, the lat
ter said, cordially:
III do it, sir. They will soon be sick
enough of the business. Glad to oblige you,
sir-very glad, indeed"
Ben, would you and Tom like to go to the
circus this ,afternoon?'' asked Mr. Crandall
kindly, as Tom called for Ben, after dinner.
to consult with him as to the easiest means Of
raising the money needed to admit them
within the charmed tent
The boys looked at each other, and then
Ben, in rather a shame-faced manner, said
Every we'll Take this BILL and you can
keep the small change until | see you again.
Thank you, sir!" said Ben, pocketing the
money.
Once outside, he said to Tom:
81 tell you, it makes me feel little mean
after he's come down so handsomely with the
cash"
"Well, we're in for it now. No use in
backing out!"
The boys walked along thoughtfully until
they arrived at the circus grounds, where the
excitement and hustle put to flight all their
conscientious scruples.
They could hardly wait until the end of
the performance. But at last the horses and
riders had disappeared behind the mysterious
and the tent was fast becoming
deserted. Ben and Tom quietly slipped away
from the crowd, and went behind the curtain
also
"Wel boys, what are you doing bereg
This isn't the way out" sharply exclaimed
the very man who, during the performance
had walked around the ring swapping his whip
at the horses
please, sir, we-Tom and me-want to ioip
your circus" said Bennie, humbly.
"0h you do, do you? Want to Join nv

the attic, with the clothes-line, and then go
to work. Come around to the house, and I'll
put it up now"
Bennie's mother was out shopping, his Sis
tiers at school, so no one saw the two culprts
creep into the house and go up stairs
For the next eight days the young aspi-
rants for equestrian and gymnastic honors
went through, in secret, as they supposed, all
sorts of frightfu and hair Drained exploits,
Bennie's being the more dangerous of the
two, as Toms horse was a very sober-minded
animal, and never allowed himself to be urged
into fiery pace

pretty well,' answered Bennie with becom-
ing pride.
is that so?" said the man, thoughtfully.
wen, we don't usually take in any members
OF our troupe, on the road. but as we happen
to need two boys to help us work, and you
LOOK DIX, IKE strong, hearty ones, we'll try you .
n Then we'll come tonight, sir" replied
ON, neither of the boys being in the least
surprised at Mr.. Rideout's ready acceptance
OF their services.
Guess you'd better stay right here; you
might run off. you know"
The boys blushed, and Ben muttered some
thing about not having all his clothes.
Clothes! Oh, we give you those, and
regular uniform besides. Now, L have two
suits SUI that belonged to two fellows who ran ran
on some three weeks ago, and we never took
the trouble to hunt them up. We can always
lind plenty of boys. Come this way"
Tom and Ben followed Mr.. Rideout into an,
other tent, not knowing whether to be glad
or sorry that they belonged to the circus,
The uniforms proved to be somewhat soiied;
and not at all perfect fits but the boys dressed
in them as quickly as possible, and handed
their own suits over to Mr. Rideout to be
taken care Of
Now, you can just rub down these horses
and then water and feed them. One OF the
hostlers will get the oats for you; Make
yourselves generally useful to the men,
They'll give you some supper, and you can
hang about here until the evening perform
ance is over After that we shall pull up
stakes and travel"
For awhile the boys thought it grand sport
to rub down the horses" but they tired OF
their task long before it was finished.
The men sent them for bucket after bucket
of water, and on other innumerable errands,
until their arms and legs ached dreadfully.
During the evening performance they sat
on empty boxes, In OUT the-way corner
where they had been hustled by some of the
performers.
They did not find it so fascinating behind
the curtain as in front of it, and they learned,
to their sorrow, that the witty clown looked
like any other man when the paint and pow
der was washed off his face; and he swore
fearfully when not before the audience.
The evening seemed never-ending, but at
last the tent was empty, and glad enough
stretch their tired limbs in bed but they
were destined to be disappointed, for the
tent had to be taken down, all the benches
and chair removed and packed, and the ami
mails shut up in their travelling cages They
found their hands full.
When at last they were ready to start Tom
and Ben were ordered to climb up into the
hign, uncomfortable seat of the tiger car"
AS the driver was tired, he gave Tom the
reins and bade him "look sharp where he
was driving" while he curled up on top of
the wagon and went to sleep.
Tom dare not go to sleep, and Bennie kept
awake out of pure good-fellowship, declaring
he got Tom into the scrape and was going to
stand by him like a man and brother.
Toward morning the driver proper conde-
scended to awake, and he allowed the boys
to sleep until they reached town, which was
in about an hour.

As they rode to the camping grounds they
were followed by crowd Of men and boys
who were on hand to "see the circus come
in"
Strange. to say. the boys were not SO proud
of belonging to the circus now as they Thought
they should be. ,,.., -:
When the tents were up and the ANIMALS
had been fed, Mr.. Rideout instructed jim
Caynor, who figured in the bills as Slgnor
Castelani, to take the two boys and put
them through a course of sprouts.
>, The course of sprouts consisted in making
Iom ride a stubborn mule which threw MN
several times; and in forcing Ben to turn
somersaults in the air after leaplng from
spring board
The struggles and vain attempts of Tom to
SIT the mule amused the bystanders, who
broke into uproarious applause, thus causing
the mule to perform in manner quite terrf
Tying to his rider.
After awhile the mule was exhanged for
mettlesome black horse, which Tom was or
dered to mount. No sooner had he done SO
than the fiery animal started and almost
flew around the ring.
Iom held on with might and main,
II can't!" painted Tom.
You do as tell you, or I'll cowhide you,
roared the trainer.
Tom tried to obey, but toppled over. jim
sprang and caught him as he was falling.
Let me go!" begged Tom, piteonsly.
And jim, otherwise Signor Castellani, toss
ed him lightly to the ground, and asked, with
moclSing laugh:
How do you like the exercise, my brave
YOUTH"
Creeping out of sight as quickly as he could,
1om threw himself down to mediate. Cir
Gus life did not look so alluring from its
present standpoint, and he felt that exist
ence which must be passed in such manner
as the last hour had been was of all things
the least desirable
Ben also had been having quite as wretched
an experience as his friend, and under the
forcible stimulus of the rawhide was made
TO walk the tlght-rope, turn somersaults sew
eral times over empty barrels and perform
other equally difficult and unpleasant feats.
by the time he was set at liberty by his
hard taskmaster, Ben decided he would rather
be, peddler, storekeeper. even doctor, than
belong to the circus. His father was quite
night about the matter Clearly it was not a
proper place for boys.
1t is said, "The, way of the transgressor is
their cases. They grew very sick of their
bargain before three days had passed Ben,
too, began to think it strange his father had
not made search for him, for he certainly
must have been missed before this time He
wished most heartily that his father would
lind him, exert his parental authority, and
tear him from the clutches of the dreaded
Jim Caynor.
As as the boys had leisure moment
they put their heads together to plan means
of escape, for they decided that life was un-
much speculation and planning they at last
decided to run away the next afternoon,
