At seven o'clock that morning the
men In the circus camp awoke, wor-
ried, fatigued. vaguely resentful, un-
usually profane.
By eight o'clock miraculous change
had taken place; the camp was alive
with scurrying people, galvanized into
hopeful activity by my possibly un.
warranted optimism and a few Judi
ciously yelled threats.
Clothed with temporary authority
by Byram, took the bit between my
teeth and ordered the instant erection
of the main tents, the construction of
the ring. barriers and benches, and the
immediate renovating of the portable
tank In which poor little Miss Claridge
had met her doom.

Let's come back to camp and talk
it over" said.
Together we traversed the square un-
der the stars, and entered the field of
clover. In the dim. smoky camp all

torch stuck in the ground between the
two tents.

we only had that poor little girl Miss
Claridge, we'd catch these Bretons.
That's what took the coast-folk all
over Europe, so Grigg says"
Miss Claridge had performed in a
large glass tank as the "Leaping Mer-
maid" 1t took like wildfre according
to our fellow-performers. We had
never seen her; she was killed by
diving into her tank when the circus
was at Antwerp in April.
Cant we get up something like
that?" suggested, hopelessly.
Who would do it? Miss Claridge's
flashlights are in the prop-box; who's
to wear them?"
He began to say something else, but
stopped suddenly, eyes fixed. Jacque-
line stood behind me in the smoky
light of the torch-Ja cqueline, bare of
arm and knee, with her sea-blue eyes
very wide and the witch-locks cluster

"Of course remember you, Jacque-

She seated herself on sack of saw

at the elephant. Speed asked her. jest

carrying an armful of driftwood.
Without word she went to work
30 swiftly that the pink light had
scarcely deepened to crimson when
the poacher. laying the gun teRderly
in the blankets Of Jacqueline's tumbled
bed, came striding back to the table
where a sea-trout smoked on cracked
platter, and bowl of bread and milk
stood before each place
We ate silently. Ange Pitou, the
yellow cat, came around with tail in

crafty any cat, and Ange Pitou made
short work of them,
The poacher rose, wiped his mouth
with the back of his hand. and made

you two" he said, with wave of
his arm, you settle it among your
selves. He touched his beret to me,
flung the fowling- piece over his shout
der, and walked away.
Jacqneline placed the few dishes in
pan of hot water, wiped her fingers,
daintily, and picked up Ange Pitou.
+ Show me the swimming suit" she
said, shyly.
I drew 1t out of the satchel and laid
it across my knees.
"Oh, 1t has a little tail behind-like
a fish," she cried, enchanted. II shall
look like the silver grilse of Quinn
perle!"
do you think you can swim in those
scales?' asked.
Swim? I-Jacqueline? Attended,
un peu-you shall seel"
She opened her arms; the cat sprang
to the doorstep and vanished.
Jacqueline looked at the swimming
suit, then at me. "Will you go down
to the beach, M'sieu Scarlett?"
But had not traversed half the
strip Of rock and hard sand before
something flew pasta slim, glittering
shape which suddenly doubled up,
Strengthened again. and fell headlong
into the laundering surf.
After a long, long while, far out on
the water she rose, floating.
Tossed back once more upon the
beach like an opalescent shell, JAG
queline, ankle-deep In foam, looked out
across the flaming waters, her
drenched hair dripping.
Look" she cried, finging her arms
above her head, and dropped into
space. falling like star, down, down
into the shallow sea. Far below l saw
a streak Of living light shoot through
the water-on, on, closer to the sur
face now, and at last she fairly sprang
into the air, quivering like gated sal
mon, then fall back to float and clear
her blue eyes from her tangled hair
Presently she climbed to the sun
warmed hillock Of sand and sat down
beside me to dry her hair.
Ange Pitou, coveting a warm sun
bath in the sand, came wandering
along pretending not to see us: but
Jacqueline dragged him into her arms
for hug, which lasted until Ange
Pitou broke loose, tail hoisted but ears
deaf to further fiattery.
So Jacqueline chased Ange Pitou
back across the sand and up the rocky
path.
Come to the net-shed, if you

CHAPTER XII.
In Camp.

We went into camp under the land
ward glacis of the cliffs, in a field of
clover which was to be plowed under
in few days. We all were there ex-
cept Kelly Eyre, who had gone to tele-
graph the governor of Lorient for per-
mission to enter the port with the cir
Gus. Another messenger also left camp
on private business for me.
Presently we were all sitting around
the long camp-table in the glare of two
smoky petroleum torches, eating our
bread and ham and potatoes and drink
ing Breton cider, a jug Of which MIR.
Koran had purchased for few cop
pers.
The hard cider cheered Byram' lit
tie; he drew cherished cigar from
his vest pocket, offered it to me, and
when ! considerably refused, he care
fully set it alight with splinter from
esfire. It's odor was INDISPENSABLE.
Byram appeared to have recovered
something Of his buoyancy and native
optimism
Gentlemen he said, lets kinder
saunter over to the inn and have a
night-cap with Kelly Eyre"
The lighted door of the inn hung
ajar, as we crossed the star-lit square; ;
Byram entered and stood a moment IN
the doorway, stroking his chin. Bong
joor the company" he said, lifting his
battered hat.
The few Bretons in the wineroom re.
turned his civility; he glanced about
and his eye fell on Kelly Eyre, Speeds
assistant balloonist, seated by the win
dow with Koran.
Well, gents, said Byram, hopefully,
an what aire the prospects Of smilin'
fortune when rosy-fngered dawn has
came again to kiss us back to life?"
Rotten" said Eyre, pushing tele-
gram across the oak table.
Byram's face fell; he picked up the
telegram and fumbled in his coat for
his spectacles with unsteady hand.
Let me read it, governor" said
Speed, and took the blue paper from
Byram's unresisting, stubby fingers.
"Oho!" he muttered, scanning the
message; "well-well, it's not so bad
as all that"
We'll, sir?" said Byram, in a low
voice.
We'll, governor? Oh er-the tele-
gram?" asked Speed. like man fight
ing for time.
Yes, the telegram" said Byram. pa
tiently.
Well. you see they have just heard
Of the terrible smash-up in the north,
governor Metz has surrendered with
Bazaine's entire army. And they're
naturally frightened at Lorient.
And well . they won't
let us pass the Notifications"
Won't let us INF" cried Byram,
hoarsely.
sI'm afraid not, governor"
Byram stared at us. We had count.

as the frontier.
Now don't take it so hard, gov.

Certainly" said Speed, cheerily.
Wen drum up the whole district from
Pontivy to Array and from Penmarch
Point to Plouharnel! Why should the
Breton peasantry not come? Don't
they walk miles to the Pardons?"
A gray pallor settled on Byram's
sunken face; with it came certain
dignity which sorrow sometimes
brings even to men like him.
Young gentlemen" he said. I'm
obliged to you. These here reverses
come to everybody, guess. The Lord
