its dntjes. or had acted as President

Daniel packed small valise, wrote
motto to LISA. slipped it under the
door Of her room and prepared to
make truant fight. He could not
Afford to take any risks of detention
Or speedy pursuit, SO he had prepared
to vacate his home in true runaway
boy fashion.

schemer. as he tied clothes line
! to the head Of his bed and cautiously
opened the window.
+! Then he let down tho valise. Next
his own thin but why form. He
grinned and laughed all the way to
the railroad depot. 1t was all so jolly,
romantic and inspiriting.
But a severe disappointment met
the old man when he visited the ad-
vertiser in the city next morning. He
was informed that the position had
been filled.
This made Daniel somewhat glum.
He wandered about the city planning
to apply for some other position, and
came across big circus tent. The
animation and novelty carried him
of a prudent balance and he bought
q ticket.
The glare and the tinsel made old
Daniel forget his troubles. When the
horses came on he was lifted to tho
seventh heaven Of delight. Then
came the wild horse. Mazeppa. and
the trained mustang. Armlda. Twice
the old man amused the crowd about
him by shouting directions to bung.
lrg trainers in the ring. When tho
untamablc broncho, Wildflre, was an.
nounced,. he fairly rose up in his seat.
The ringmaster offered fifty dollars to
the one who could mount Wildfre and
ride him around the ring.
A heap Of fun followed. The audi.
ence roared as candidate after candi-
date was chased over the ropes or
flung into the sawdust. The ringmas.
ter proudly and defiantly raised tho
price-"$l0O for the skilled horseman
who could subdue Wildtire."
"Ill take that" yelled the excited
Daniel. whipping of his coat and
making a nimble leap.
"Whoop!" Good for old Methuse-
lah!" Go 1t, grandpa" and shouts
and yells mingled In riotous chorus.
Old Daniel fixed his eye on Wildflre.
full of the pluck and vim Of the old
ranch days. He made a rush. Wild.
fire butted at him. He sprang aside.
Wildfire struck out with his hoofs.
Then with a lightning-like movement
Daniel shot out both hands, one to the
nose. one to the ear of the broncho. A
springing leap, and he was on the back
Of the whirling animal. Around the
ring once. twice. three times-and the
audience fairly hooted themselves
hoarse, while the ringmaster looked
blank.
Say. you're the best card ever
came into this show" said the latter.
as he placed ten crisp bank bills in
the hand Of the successful broncho
buster. I'LL give you forty dollars q
week and expenses to do just what
you did. as regular act"
I'LL take IT," answered Daniel
promptly. 1T means home and happi.

Of the old home, while Grandpa Bruce
