TO do with men from the executive

But 1t was Mrs. Boyle hat intro
duced u.s." protested Patty, near to
tears.
"Yes," assented Laida 'that's why
she came to me this afternoon and
said she was worried and blaming her
self. ut was Macallister." she wills
pered to me, that made that little
French wire walker throw herself I'M
der the train-the one I told you
about"
For ten minutes Patty Kaw stared
at nothing. Then she reused herself,
kissed Laida and said, "Don't worry,
dear, l shall never speak to him again.
Mrs. Boyle wouldn't lie"
Patty sent a chuck tent boy to JEFF
with a bitter, final little note, and tore
up without reading the note the boy
brought back. Twice that Monday
Laida's sheer strength of fingers alone
saved Patty from a fall. And Patty
felt that she wouldn't have cared. AT
the night performance jeff intercepted
her on her way from ring to dressing
tent. And Patty, white faced, appealed
to the rlngmaster. who happened to
be close by.
SORRY, jeff" said the autocrat OF
the big top during show hours, "if the
lady says mo- it's no. even to the
old man himself"
So crashed into wreckage of misery
the newborn romance. Patty was de-
prived even of the potential solac OF
talking about her troubles with Laida,
for on the very next day Laida entered
upon Il romance of her own which con-
sumed all her thoughts.
There had come to the show on
Patty's happy Sunday an iron-gray,
reserved looking person whom the old
man had introduced to executives and
tent bosses as "Mr. Haight, my friend
and guest" instructing them that Mr..
Haight was to fave the run of the
show.
Quietly, with the eyes of a keenly
intelligent novice, the visitor saw every
thing, was everywhere. He saw Laida
handsome, ~Searless, queenly Laida-
and thereafter saw little else. He
talked to her quietly, almost difident'
ly, but persistently. And Patty thought
she had never seen her inscrutable sis
ter so ~pleasurably excited as she
seemed to be. Haight fingered on Will
the show, travelling in the old mans
car.
Two weeks from that fatal Sunday
night Patty was wondering why Laida
hadn't returned to the sleeper when
the FORTRESS brought her a note.
As she opened 1t a check fell into
her lap. She read:
Dear Kiddie-I'm married-to Mr.
Haight. He is really more than hall
owner of the show, a widOwer, with
coolies of cash. Sorry to bust up ou
team, but-you know! Philip says tt
give you this check and tell you to &C
home-I think you'd better. Oh
course it'll be all right with the ole
man-got to be. Ta-ta! We're going
