They were, what is known in the
world OF artistes, an artificial family.
1he old acrobat who had long been
nfaable to compete with his younger
brethren and who, in spite OF the big
salaries he had earned and had never
saved a penny. had formed the family
which consisted OF himself as the
lAther and two boy apprentices, whom
be had received from their parents by
promising to give them their board
Ind clothes, when the little fellows
had declared they would like nothing
better than to 60 with the strang-
man, who had given them candy and
promised to treat them well. Happy
Ind full Of expectations. the boys left
home.
II was not all pleasure, however;
the old artist had grown more and
more ill-tempered and while he spoke
raressingly to them because OF the
audience. he would let the whip dance
bpon their thin silk tights. And still

left behind by another troupe.
With an eye open for what would
look well on the stage, the old aero
bat saw Immediately that here was a
rood chance with two white boys and
Dne black, and the little Jack was
iaken into the family.

IWIben the Worm Turned

While he might occasionally be kind
to the two boys, who still correspond
ed with their parents al home, he was
always brutal to the colored boy
whom he had grown TO hate without
any reason whatever, who could never
do anything to suit him and who had
to act as kind OF lightning-rod when
anything went wrong with the others
or the old man was in his cups.
Even in circus. where everyone Is
used to brutality. and where one artist
never interferes with the methods ol
the other, the men often gyowled and
muttered when the old man beat Jael:
with his whip until his arms grew
tired.
One day one OF the ballet girls had
said TO him, when she passed by:
Don't you think that is about
enough" But he continued his exc
cution.
"A slave Ike him Is used TO being
thrashed, and. besides. | would advise
you 10 mind your own business or you
might get taste OF the whip your.
