"Well," she said to herself, as she
ran toward the dress tent, ''now
that he's found her, he won't bother
me. 1 wonder who Court is. Her
husband? I hate rich women who
play Lady Bountiful," she thought
with fierce resentment. Butt
can't hate her. She's too beautiful
Like little gold-and-green bird-a
singing bird-a bird that sings con-
tralto."
She was resting between shows,
lying on her cot in the dress tent,
when Pop Bybee came striding in.
"It's all right, honey. Don't be
scared to go on with the show. That
Pond dame came cackling to me, all
het up, half believing what this
Betsey baby said about you being
Sally Ford, but I give her a grand
song and dance about you being the
same Princess Lalla who joined the
show in New York in April. She
wanted to talk to you, but I steered
her off, told her you couldn't hardly
speak English and she'd just upset
you. Just stick to your lingo, child,
and don't act scared. Amt a chance
in the world the Pond dame will
make another squawk."
He must have spoken to Gus, also,
for the barker cut her late after
noon and evening performances as
short as possible, although by doing
so he lost many a quarter. She
smiled upon him gratefully, was
pleased to the point of tears by
his whispered: Good kid! You've
sure got sand!" after the 10 o'clock
show when she had apparently re-
gained her confidence and her in
tuition in sizing up "rubes' who de-
sired to know past, present and
future"
AS the evening wore on the heat
grew more and more oppressive.
The wilted audience passed Ian
guidly from freak to freak, hopping
their red faces and Juggling at tight
collars. Children cried fretfully,
monotonously; women reproved
them with high, heat-maddened
voices; Jan, the giant, tainted while
Gus was ballyhooing him, and it
took six white hopes" to carry him
him to his tent. At IL o'clock, when
Gus had just started his last spiel
of the evening. a terrified black
man, with eyes rolling and sweat
pouring down his face, staggered
into the tent, bawling:
awful storms BLOWN up, folks!
Look lax a cyclone! Run for yo'
lives! Tents amt safe! Oh, nah

CHAPTER XVII

NOR a terrible moment, long
L enough for Gus, the barker, to
jump from JAMS platform and come
toward her on a run, Sally sat
frozen with terror. She felt that
Betsy's keen eyes had stripped her
Of her brown makeup, Of her fan
tastic clothes, of the protecting
black veil, so that anyone who
looked at her could see that she was
indeed "just Sally Ford, play-act-
ing"
She wanted to rise from her
gilded chair and run for her life
and David's-but she had lost all
control Of her muscles. Betsey was
still clinging to her, her babyish
hands shaking the slender Shout
ders under the green satin jacket,
when Gus bounded upon the plat
form and took the almost hysterical
child into his arms.
Hello, TiddlywinkS!" he sang out
jovially. Having a good time at the
carnival? Listen, kiddie I'm go
ing to give you a real treat! Yessirl
You know what you're going to do?
Just guess!"
Sally felt the blood begin to thaw
in her frozen veins. Gus was stand
ing by. Dear Gusl But Gus was too
wise to give the child in his arms
chance to reply. He hurried on,
his voice loud and cabling:
I'm going to let you stand right
up on the platform with the little
lady midget-her names Pity
Sing'-and show all the other kids
how much bigger you are than a
grown-up lady. Yessir, she's
grown-up lady and she's not nearly
as big as you. Now what do you
think of that?"
Betsey was torn between her love
for Sally, whom she was convinced
she had found, and her pride in be-
ing chosen to stand beside the mid
get. She looked doubtfully from
Sally, whose eyes beneath the black
lace veil we're lowered to her tight
ly locked hands, to the platform OPP
posite, where "Pitty Sing" the mid
get was stretching out tiny hand
invitingly. The midget won, for the
moment at least.
"I'm six going on seven, and I'm
big girl" she confided to the
barker on whose shoulder she was
riding in delightful conspicuousness.
The children, true to the herd in
stinct which had been so highly de-
veloped in the orphanage, trooped
after Gus and Betsey, even more
easily diverted than she from their
pop-eyed inspection of princess
Lalla."

CHAPTER XVI CONTINUED

!
Sally saw the tell-tale tremble OF
Eloise'S babyish mouth, and her
heart ached with desire to comfort
the child. Outwardly Eloise had be-
come exactly like all the other little
girls-shy, bleating when the other
little Sheep bleated, obediently eX-
cited when they were excited, silent
when they were silent-but under
meath she was still beWildered and
unreconciled to the death of her
mother, the cheap little Stock COM
pany actress, who had evidently
adored her child and been adored in
return.
But someone else had seen Eloise' S
hurt, so unconsciously inflicted by
the lovely and arrogant lady. Betsey,
the 6-year-old, ran from the herd to
take Eloise's hand, with an absurd
and touching little gesture OF
motherliness.
Come on, Eloise, Sally heard
Betsey cry in her Shrill little voice.
Lets just you and me look at the
funny people. We can see the giant
when the crowd moves on. 1 want
to see Princess Lalla' moren' any
thing. I want my fortune told.
want to ask her where Sally is
you remember-Sally Ford. That
man says she sees all, knows all,
so he ought to know where
Sally is"
1.-THE big girls say she run away, -
Eloise answered, her eyes round with
awe. They say she did something
awful bad and run away with a
man"
Sally didn't do nothing bad,'
Betsey retorted Indignantly. "She
couldn't! She was the best big
girl in the Home. She play-acted
for us little kids and-oh!' She
stopped with a gasp, her eyes pop
ping as she took in the fantastic
splendor of Princess Lalla." Lis
ten, Princess Lalla," she mustered
up courage to whisper coaXingly
docs it cost a lot to get your for
tune told? I've only got a nickel
that the New York lady gave me
she give every one of us a dime
but I spent a nickel for some salt
water taffy-"
Sally could hardly restrain her
self from crying out: oh, Betsey
it's me! Sally Ford! You don't have
to spend your poor little nickel tc
ind me! I'm here!" But she
knotted her little brown hands
more tightly and managed to smile
with a princesS-ike indifference
and WEAKNESS as she cooed in heI
Turkish" accent:
"Eet costs nothing to get re
fortune told. Womens and mems
must pay Is cents to learn past
pre-ent and future, but for you
nothing! Come up here by my
side. I weel read the crystal"
Betsey's eyes grew rounder anc
rounder; her little mouth fell open
in establishment. Then with a wilc
shout of JOY she stumbled up the
stairs and flung her arms about
Sally crying and laughing.
you're not Princess Lallal
You're Sally Ford, play-actingl Oh
Sally, I'm so glad I found youl
Hey, kids! Kidsl It's Sally Ford
play-acting!'

fastener who teasingIy insists on read
Ing her fortune in the crystal. He stays
in the background of the crowd with his
eyes constantly on her. However. Sally
little friends, the inmates of the orphan
age, troop into her tent. Sally wonders
who is playing good angel to the or
phans when she spies a woman with
them, handsomely dressed, but with
look of sadness in her eyes.

MONSTER ENGINES
CUT FTREMEN'S JOBS

Washington (FP)- Railroad fire
men are Citing a large proportion OF
the jobs in the notorious and truck
services. Ti-ey also are filtering IN
t. the IA ks IF The commercial filters.
But practically no more men are en-
lsCCd in firing railroad locomotives
than were employed 20 or 25 years
ago.
This picture of the trend in en-
pl0yment for rail firemen is given by
veteran officer of the Brotherhood
/ of Locomotive Firemen and Eng
ineers to the Federated Press. Larg-
er locomotives, pulling longer trains,
are reducing the number of train
crews.
He cites the Clearfield division of
the New York Central, as described
some years ago by veteran fireman
during an official inquiry. Twenty
years prior to this inquiry the Clear
field division employed 90 locomotive
crews, each engine hauling &C or so
cars of coal from the mines it serv-
ed. Later the company adopted a
larged type of locomotive which pull
/ ed 80 to 80 cars. The crews were
/ cut to IS. Finally the Mallet type OF
engine was purchased and 50 of these
