TOT the Ringtailed Circus.
But what has all this to do with
MISS Kitty Dorland and Mr.. Gerald
waitersY Simply that Mr. Walters
didn't know that Miss Kitty was with.
In hundred miles OF him, and vice
versa.
Simply that MIR. Walters was at the
circus and Miss Kitty wasn't. Simply
that Mr.. Walters came very near be-
Ing nough-housed instead Of Aunt Han
nah Simply that when "zam" left the
tent Mr. Walters was at his heels, and
Miss Kitty was walking In her grand.
father's daisy covered meadow a mile
away.
Mr.. Walters was a good sprinter,
and he put forth every effort to over.
haul the dangerous menace striving TO
escape from bondage and become a
terror to a peaceful community. He
couldn't gain a foot, but he was game
to hang to the trail as long as he
could.
The wild man took the middle Of the
highway and held 1t until he came op-
posite the meadow. Miss Kitty was
sitting under tree. weaving wreath
for somebody's brow. ''Zam" wanted
to get to the woods 10 shake on pur-
suit, and he must pass her within a
few feet. She saw him-she shrieked
she sprang up-she saw Mr.. Walters
lumbering along, and then she tainted
and keeled over Something told her
that II was Wild man from Africa,
and that he intended to make cats
meat Of her. and It was quite sensible
of her to faint. She tainted SO quick
ly that she didn't hear him call to
her.
Don't be scared, Missy I'm only a
man in disguised"
And she was dead to the world as he
checked his pace long enough to add:
I don't blame her darned bit!
Hope It will cost old Ringtail ten
bones extrap
"Zam" got into the woods and pur-
suit was of Mr.. Walters, pufing and
blowing, came up to find a good look
Ing girl huddled among the daisies,
and he ran to brook and got water
In his hat and sopped her face, max
ing the usual mess of it. BY and by
Miss Kitty found herself sitting VI
md saying:
"Oh, that horrid thing!-
But it's gone"
"And you were 80 brave! Please
AXE me home"
At slow walk, and leaning heavily
IN his arm, grandpa's was reached. Il
vas reached again that evening, and
he next day and the next. In fact Mr..
Walters felt 1t his duty to pay call
It least once a day until sure that the
Wild man had returned to his mother
n Michigan And all this resulted in
Deacon Chambers speaking from the
,ostofics steps for the third time and
aging:
Darn my hat, but what do you fet
ers think now?"
what is itf"
That chipmunk killer and the gal
hat tainted away are sittin' up nights
ogether and II that don't mean love
nd marriage I'll saw the horns Oh
