the grand cavalcade, with it's blaring
music and its richly caparisoned
horses, with their nodding plumes and
spangles, four abreast, drawing the
identical fiery chariot" Tod had heard
his father talk about; when all the
highly painted wagons with their mys-

Of the arena. Tod would laugh and

ran about on errands of hundred
kinds, occupying every golden inter-

cord, in spangled Dress" was kissing
her hand to a mighty concourse of
people. who waved their hats and
handkerchiefs in widest token of ap-
proval and acclaim. Nor was this the
sole cause of Tod's delight, for the fat
man with the big watch seal had
seemed to take a special fancy to him,
and had told him he might bring a
friend along, that his ticket would
pass two. AS the gleeful Tod was
scampering of to ask the teacher If
he wouldn't go, he met his anxious
father in a deep state of distress. and
was led home to listen in agony and
tears to dismal dissertation on the
wickedness Of shows. and the unend-

giddy moths that fluttered round them.
Tod was missing next morning. He
had retired very early the evening
previous. "He acted strange.like,"
said the good grandmother. recalling
vaguely that he hadn't eaten any sup

torn; a bruised and naked knee
showing through a straight rent across
one leg of his trousers, conveyed the
idea,of q recent passage through some
gauntlet of disastrous fortune.
It was nothing, Tod said, only on
his way to school he had come upon
a blind man who played the fiddle
and sold leadpencils, and the boy who
had been leading him had stolen
something from him; and Tod had
voluntarily started in pursuit of the
fugitive, to overtake him only after a
prolonged chase Of more than q mile.
"And now I've got you out O. town."
said the offender, wheeling suddenly
upon him. I'll jes' meller your head

which Tod's face was hidden from the
curious group about him, as the teach
er bent above him at the back steps
pouring water on his head, he contin-
ued: Didn't think the little cuss was
SO stout! Oh! I'm scratched up, but
