Beside a shabby trunk in the wo-
mems dressing tent sat young, wist-
full faced girl. chin in hand, unhceding
the chatter of the women about her
or tho picturesque disarray of the sur
rounding objects. Her eyes had been
SO long accustomed to the glitter and
tinsel of circus fineries that she saw
nothing unusual in picture that
might have held a painter spellbound,
Circling the inside of the tent aud
forming double line down the center
were partially unpacked trunks belch-
ing forth impudent masses of satins,
laces. artificial hair, paper flowers and
paste Jewels. The scent of moist
earth mingled oddly with the perfumed
odors of the garments heaped on the
grass. Here and tecre high circles Of
lights threw strong. steady glare
upon the half clad figure of robust
acrobat or the thin, dropping shoulders
OF less stalwart sister. Temporary
ropes stretched from one pole to an
other were laden with bright colored
stockings, gaudv, spangled gowns or
dusty street clothes discarded by the
performers before Slipping into their
circus attire There were no nails or
hooks, so hats and wells We're pinned
to the canvas walls.
The furniture was limited TO one
camp chair in front Of each trunk, the
till Of which served as a tray for the
paints, powders and other essentials
Of makeup.
A pail of water stood by the side of
each chair. SO that the performers

filled trunks. trapeze tackle, paper

ties necessary to the show.
Torches famed at the tent entrances
while oil lamps and lanterns gave
light for the loading of the wagons.
There was constant stream Of life
shooting in and out from the dressing
tent to the big top as gayly decked
men, women and animals came or
went.
Drowsy dogs were stretched under
the wagons, waiting their turn to be
dressed as lions or bears. The wise

his head from side to side, watching

erty men had just slipped, their legs
still incased in stripes.
Ambitious canvasmen and grooms
were exercising, feet In air, in the
hope of some day getting into the per
formers ring. Property men stole
minutes sleep in the soft warm grass
while they waited for more tackle to
load In the wagons. Children OF the

the Shetland ponies. awaiting their en-
trance to the ring The shrieks Of the
hyenns in the distant animal tent, the
ronring Of the lions and the trumpet
ing Of the elephants mingled with the
incessant clamor Of the band And
back Of all this, pointing upward In
mute protest, rose solemn church
spirc, white and majestic against
vast panorama Of blue, moonlit hills
that encircled the whole lurid picture
Jim's eyes turned absently toward the
church as he sat fumbling with the
lock Of the little brown satchel
He had gone from store to store in
the various towns whAc they had
played looking for something to in
spire wonder in the heart OF miss
newly arrived at her sixteenth year.
Only the desperation Of a last moment
had forced him to decide upon the imi-
tation alligator bag, which he now
! held In his hand.
1t looked small and mean to him as
the moment Of presentation approach
ed, and he was glad that the saleswo-
man In the little country store had
suggested the addition Of ribbons and
laces, which he now drew from the
pocket Of his corduroys. He placed
his red and blue treasures very care
! fully in the bottom OF the satchel and
remembered with regret the strand OF
coral beads which he had so nearly
bought to 60 with them.

" Shetland pony. Jim and Toby had
been "neglectin' her eddfcatiOn," they
declared, and from that time on the
blood Of Polly's ancestors was given
full encouragement.
Barker was quick to grasp the ad-
vantage of adding the kid to the daily
parade. She made her first appear
ance in the streets upon something
very like Newfoundland dog. guard
ed from the rear by Jim and from the
fore by white faced clown who was
thought to be all the funniet because
he twisted his neck 80 much.
From the street parade to P0lly's
first appearance in the big top had
seemed short while to Jim and Toby.
They were proud to see her circling
the ring in bright colors and to bear
the cheers Of the people, but sense
Of loss was upon them.
II always said she'd do it!' cried
Barker, who now took upon himself
the credit Of Polly's triumph.
And what triumph 1t was!
Polly danced MS serenely ON Bine0's
back as she might have done on the
concert boards. She swayed grace
fully with the music. Her tiny san
da,s twinklcd as she stood first upon
one foot and then upon the other.
Uncle Toby forgot to use many Of
his tricks that night, and Jim left the
loading of the wagons to take care Of
itself while he hovered near the en-
trance, anxious and breathless. The
performers crowded around the girl
with outstretched hands and congrat-
ulations ms she came out Of the ring
to cheers and applause.
But Big Jim" stood apart. He was
thinking of the buttons that his clum-
sy fingers used to force into the stifE,
starchy holes too small for them and
of the pigtails SO stubborn at the ends,
and Toby was remembering the little
shoes that had once needed to be
laced in the cold, dark mornings and
the strings that were always swapping
Something had gone.
They were not philosophers to rea-
son. like Emerson, that for everything
we lose we gain something. They were
simple souls, these two; they could
only feel.
