! two doing what they said was a cornAc turn. Then the fat lady come on. 1 While everybody was adniring her size and looking at the number of l pounds on them big cheat scales Wat | ty weighed her on, the long necked one would be changing to her snake clothes. Which she only had one snake. and he had been in the business so long and was so kind of worn out and tired with being charmeds so much it always seemed like a pity to me the way she would take and twist him around. After Reginald had been charmed awhile it would be the glass eaters turn. Which he really did eat, and the doctor says that kind always dies before they is fifty. never know ed his right name, but what he went by was the Human Ostrich.
 Watty's wife was awful Jealous of Mrs. Ostrich, fur she got the idea she was carrying on with Watty. One night hearn an argument from the fenced of part of the tent Watty and his wife slept in. She was setting on Watty's chest and he was gasping fur mercy.
 You knew it ain't true" says Wat ty. kind of smottered III
 "sIt is.' says she. ''you own up it fs!'' AAd SuG gave L1L1
 ''No, darling" he gets out of him, Ayou know [ never could bear them thin, scrawny kind of women.'' And , he begins to call her pet names of all kinds and beg her please. if she won't get off complete, to set son1ewheres else minute fur his chest he can feel giving way and his ribs caving in. He called her his plump little woman three or four times. and she must have softened up some. fur she moved and his voice come stronger, but not less ! meek and lowly And inch by inch Watty coa xed her clean off of him.

But finally they rousted her out of that by one of these here sprinkling carts backing up agin her and turning. loose.
 But aside from them occasional mean streaks Dolly was real nice, and kind of got to liking her. She tells me that because she is so fat no one won't take her serious like a human being, and she wisht she was like other women and had a fambay. That woman want ed a baby, too. and bet she would of been good to it., fur she was awful good to animals.
 That poor. old fat fool had a doll yet, all hid away. and when she was alone she used to take 1t out and cud- dIe it. Well. Dolly never had many friends. and you couldn't blame her much if she did drink little too much now and then. or get mad at Watty fur his goings on and kneel down on him whilst he was asleep.@ Them was her only faults and I liked the old girl Yet could see SVatty had his troubles too
