old ring back. l amt got any one
else to give it to. So long"
He climbed into the tiny road cart,
cracked the whip, and the four ponies
tl'otted off.
1t was only four miles to Carston-
vile, where the Blakeley hippodrome,
menagerie and circus lay in winter
quarters, but every revolution Of the
little wheels seemed to put Sally-and
happiness-miles behind.
Ted Stevens was q circus clown
not very good one, but good enough
for the one ring wagon show he trav-
eled with. Last spring he had come
down a few weeks before the opening
to rehearse some bits Of comedy, and
he had met Sally Myerly.
She had never seen much of show
folk, and she was attracted by his
fun as well as by the wholesomeness
of his manner. In the three weeks
they saw each other Ted had won her
heart. Then the show had gone south
to open. 1t was midsummer before
the slow moving outfit had come back
to Carstonville to show, and that after
noon Ted had done his best because
Sally was watching from the reserved
seats. He had been rather disappoint-
cd at her lukewarm appreciation, but
he did not realize what the matter
was until he had come back with the
show to go into winter quarters.
He had taken the meager salary Of
fered to help care for the stock instead
of playing at the vaudeville theaters
through the winter, and 1t was with
a happy heart that he took the pony
four-in-hand out for exercise and had
driven over to the Myerly farm.
He had received ain enthusiastic well
come from ten-year-old Dick, but Sally
had been cold, and at last she con-
fessed that the sight of him in the
ring had killed her love. Her ideas
of romance were cleaned from cheap
fiction, wherein English lords In dis
guise were more apt to be heroes than
circus clowns. The sight of Ted in
his motley had killed her ideals, and
she wanted her freedom.
For the next couple of weeks he
held to lis work, trying in occupation
to find fcrgetfulness. He had been
rather clever with dogs once, and he
got permission to try his hand at two
of the ponies, just TO occupy his mind
but in the long nights, when the ST.
lence was broken only by an occasion
al cry from the stock barn, he had
plenty of time to think, for sleep came
late to his tired eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving Thorn
rs Myerly drew up Mt the sheds and
climbed down from bis seat. Ted saw
him and went out to meet him.
"Sally wants to know IL you won't
bring them ponies over" he said,

Nine Days, Thanksgiving.

In the time of Greclan prosperity
and power that nation celebrated a
feast very much resembling that of
the Jews and supposedly borrowed
from the latter. 1t was called the
feast of Demeter or the Eleuslnian
mysteries, Demeter being the goddess
of the cornfields, by whose especial
favor only good harvests might be
expected. The celebration continued
during nine days, and offerings to the
goddess were made, consisting OF obla-
tons of wine, honey and milk.

The melancholy days have come,
The flowers fade away.
The crickets upward turn their toes,
And early dies the day.
The mourning turkeys now are led
To death, and, worse perhaps,
The cartridges. with mufficd drums,
Are sadly sounding taps.

ready for occupancy"
The Commissioners mold. however.
that while the station is ready for oc-

been removed.
