Presently Strome joined the pair as
they stood talking. and IN instant later
the four borses used in the double
riding act dashed into the tent. followed
by Paul and Lefty Murphy. who boast
ed very different names on the bin!
The band struck up their music ana
the two men ran into the ring 1t was
the work Of a moment TO climb TO their
perches. The apparatus consisted OF
two trapeze swiags, one long one
used by Petite for the leaps and the
shorter one from which Strome hung
when he made the catches. On Pettie.s
end there was platform from which
he leaped to gain momentum. and this
was but a few feet from the center
pole which held up the tent
: The first two swings were made
without trouble. and then Strome did
some single work TO give Petite an
opportunity to rest. Jim leaned against
the ropes to steady himself and glanced
below at the. well filed tent. \ sea
of faces. white in the flare. of the
lamps, gazed intently upward as
Strome hung by his toes from the
short swing.
An odd roar caught Pettie's atten-
ton, ard he glanced Mt the lamps A
cluster of gasoline flares hung from thu
center pole and supplied light for the
tent
Two huge reservoirs We're fastened
together to form a ring about the pole.
and from these radiated the burners.
Clute was old fashioned in many of
his IDEAS, and his fondness for the old
fashioned light amounted to a hobby
Jim could see that one of the tanks
had sprung :, leak. and in some way
the escaping gas had caught fire from
the flames below. The heat was va

rapidly than usual. and 1t was only Il
matter of minutes before the heat
would cause an explosion that would
send the blazing fluid flying over the
crowd below and the tinderlike tent.
There had been no rain for several
days, and. on the other hand. the blazl
ing sun had been pouring its rays on
the tent since early morning. The
flames would run to the guy ropes. and
when these gave way the crowd below
would he cnveloped in 4 mass of flame.
There was no time to signal below

swing.

Strome gaspcd as he saw the move

swing, and Strome could not under
stand the. move. As the long swing
teached the limit of it's fight Strome
caught .Jim's voice.
He heard only the words Elmer

and as cooiIy as though it was part
of the act be dropped to the net below
as being the quickest way down.
The big swing reached the platform
and went beyond, then with increased
momentum swung toward the opposite
side again. \ second time it swung
toward the platform, and as it reached
the farthest point Jim let go ard kept
on toward the pole.
Straight through the air he few until
his arms ciasped the blue pole. and for
moment he hung there. the breath
forced from his body by the shock of
the impact. Then he began to climb
upward
The lights daZzled his eyes, and the
heat was terrific. but he did not realize
1t. He knew only that seconds were
precious, and right into the very heart
of the blaze he climbed to reach the
valve wheels that regulated the supply
for the burners.

Unmindful of the hot burners Jim

they scared his skin through his thin
silk shirt, and a moment late he clap

it upon the heated metal until the blaze
