trained elephants, trick monkeys.

the boys would stop before these huge

When the day for the circus arrived,
the boys were up and stirring before

he would ride on the circus train mo

Junction, and from there to enter the

other bows were UP, Scotty was hali

the distance.
When the reached the junction the
circus train was switching, and all

men and the circus roustabouts. Scot

he thought no one was watching him,
climbed on the rear end of one OF the
box cars one which held some OF the
circus props There, securely and
comfortably seated, he waited for the
train to pull out. He had not long 70

began to turn in accompaniment to the

into town, he shut his eyes against
