PEETIE'S BIG JUMP.

One day, after Peetie and Jackie
had been with the circus about two
weeks. and had travelled around to
many places they reached big city.
All this time the two puppy dogs had
gone on doing their tricks, Peetfe
jumping over the ten elephants and
landing in the mouth of the hippopot-
anus, and Jackie riding around the
ring on the lions back.
Jackie and the lion became good
friends, and Peetie also made the &C
quaintance of the big fellow. and the
three would often visit each other IN
the lions cage, for Peetie and Jackie
were allowed to go out once In while,
but the lion was kept locked up, ex-
cept when he did the trick in the ring.
II wonder if we're going to get any
money! said Peetie to Jackie, the day
they arrived in the big city. mo one
has said anything to us about pay yet.
Maybe they'll wait until the circus
ls all done,' suggested Jackie. Wont
we have a lot of money to take back
to papa and mamma. though? For we
draw big crowds; I heard our clown
say So"
Yes, I guess we must give salts
faction" agreed Peetie, "for they have
given us new suits"
And that's what had happened. The
puppy dogs now had clown suits all
covered with gold and silver spangles,
and they looked so fine that none of
their former friends would have
known them. Sammie Littletail and
Johnnie and Billie and Bawley, the
frog - none of them would have recog-
nized Peetie and Jackie.
Well, it came time for the parade,
and the puppy dogs had their usual
places on the big, red-and-gold pand
wagon. They did lots of funny things
and the crowd along the streets laugh
ed and applauded. Then came the az
ternoon performance, and Peetie did
the elephant trick, and Jackie rode on
the lions back.
Toward evening the clown and the
ringmaster once more came and stood
beside the puppy dogs cage.
81 think we'll try new trick to-
night" said the clown. "I'll take the

his Jump over the elephants and
Jackie had ridden on the lion, the
clown held up his hand, and the
people got as quiet as mice when they
are after bit Of cheese, and then the
clown told the crowd what Peetie was
going to do - jump from the top of
the tent into the tank Of water.
/ Well, wish you could have heard
those people clap. 1t was like ten
rain storms on a double tin roof, but,
with all that, Peetie wasn't happy.
Well, the clown took Peetie in hir
arms and climbed up ladder, right
up to the top of the big tent. Up, and
up, and up. Oh, ever SO high! My!
how far 1t looked down to that tank.
STEADY now doggie," said the clown
to Peetie, as he put him down on the
platform.
Peetie tried to be steady, but his
legs did tremble bit and l don't
blame him; do you? No, l guess not.
Then it got all still and quiet in that
tent, and the clown called.
Ready" -,
Then the drum began to roll, Just
like distant thunder, and it kept get
ting louder and louder, and the clown
pushed Peetie to the edge of the plat
form.
Now, jump" he cried, and Peetie
Jumped. ..
Down and down he went, with the
drum rolling out louder than ever The
puppy dog tried to keep his eyes on
the tank of water where he was to
land. but he went so fast that the tears
came, and he couldn't see very we'll.
He knew he couldn't be hurt very
much, for he had often jumped of a
bank into the creek at home, but this
was far higher jump.
Down and down he went, and at last
he landed in the tank, splashing the
water all about in a big spray. And
Just as he landed the big bass drum
doomed out like cannon!
The people started to applaud, but
something happened. The big wave
that Peetie had made had splashed so
high that some of 1t went on man
in purple suit who was riding white
horse. The water made the horse
jump and the man fell off and bumped
up against an elephant and the ele-
phant fell down and the horse almost
ran away, and you never saw such con-
fusion in all your life as followed after
Peetie's big jump. The people stood
up and shouted and it was some time
before they were quiet.
TITS all your fault!' cried the clown
to Peetie. IF you had landed in the
middle of the tank instead of near the
edge, the water wouldn't have splash
ed!"
And, oh, how Grossly he spoke! He
even hit Peetie with his whip and that
made Jackie growl, and the two puppy
dogs were chased off to their cage
without an extra supper, such as they
always had.
"Tll punish them both tomorrow"
said the clown. "They are getting
lazy" which wasn't true, you know.
Now tomorrow's story will be about
