roast on the banks of Rock river las.
Saturday evening An even dozen
made up the crowd and the distance
between the college and the scene of

having built a good-sized fire with
brush-wood found on the rivers edge,
the young gentlemen set to work and
prepared the supper, which was raven

/ the big hit and the mill hands had
/ given her an ovation.
But WITH the coming OF evening the
out, OOk was not so bright. In spite
of the forid oratory the men had
money for the circus and the distri-
button of free tickets had merely
left them so much more money for
drinks.
Not long after the opening Of the
next show the mill men began to
drift back to the lot and gather out
side the tents The sheriff was a can
| didate for reelection in the fall. and
| his deputies had orders not TO make
| arrests except for serious cause. More
than that. he was angry that his ad-
! vice of the morning had not been
/ needed, ard ne was little disposed TO
! listen to Werner's plea that the men
| be driven off the lot.
The cook tent had come down
right after supper and had been sent
to the train. Now the sideshOw tent
was being taken down. amid such a
press that 1t was impossible to seek to
lower the poles until more room as
secured.
The dismantling OF the show was
done by a schedule. Any break in
this order meant delay and a belat
ed arrival at the next stand. Werner
pleaded with the mill men to no
avail, and at last gave the signal TO
begin the work.
One or two Of the onlookers had
close escapes from injury. and a man
who seemed to be leader OF the mob
staggered up TO Wiener.
Look hTre" he said thickly IF
you don't want us here, let US 90 in

noon: now It's your treat"
There is no room inside" 1aid
Werner quietly. THE tent is fuII."
That's all right was the ready
rejOinder. I'VE don't want reserved
seats. Wen sit on the race track
That won't hurt NJ one"
Your entrance would alarm the
audience and possibly cause a STAN
pede that might result in loss Of life -
returned Werner. Your suggestion
is impossible"
Not a bit Of IT," declared the
spokesman. IF you won't invite us.
well invite ourselves. Come on.

The men paused for a moment to
see what Werner would do. The
sheriff had moved up 10 where he
could enjoy the circus mans discom-
fture Werner turned 70 him
For the last time I ask you TO dis
perse this GisOrderly mob" he said.
Il warned you that you would have
20 police your own grounds" re-
minded the sheriff. = knew Just how
il would turn out and warned you"
Il know that" agreed Werner. Il
merely wished to give YOU last op-
portunity to refuse 70 do your duty.
Hey. Rube,"
He raised his voice but slightly.
and yet all over the .ot the call was
repeated. and his men came on the
run armed with tent stakes or any
other available club. The call was
the universal circus cry for assist
ance. and II was not long before his
determined little army faced the IN

Werner. Isn't he coming up?"

Mrs. kirsley. There is some trCu-

Werner nodded carelessly and fol-
lowed the two women into the animal

African elephant. was her especial
pride, and to him she fed an extra
allowance OF sugar and she chatted to
