1t was David, opening his eyes
dazedly just then, who answered:
mo other doctor, please. I'm a
fugitive from justice, remember. II
I could have some coffee now think
could tell you what happened,
Mr.. Bybee."
A dozen eager voices outside the
stateroom door offered to get the
coffee from the privilege car, and
within a few minutes Sally was
kneeling before David, holding d
cup of steaming black coffee to his
lips.
AS many OF the carnival family
as could crowd into the small space
of the car aisle pressed against the
open door of the Stateroom to hear
his story. Jan, the Holland giant,
who was too tall to stand upright
in the car, was invited into the

Sing" in the crok of one Of his
arms, Noko, the Hawaiiin midget,
in the other Sally still knelt be-
side David, holding his right hand
tightly in both of hers and laying
her lips upon it when his story
moved her unbearably,
IT suppose Mrs. Bybee has told
you that I was leaving the show
train to go to the carnival grounds
to see if anything had happened to
Sally. I'd have gone sooner, but
the storm was so violent that I
knew I'd not have a chance to get
there. Mrs Bybee said she was
going 70 the lot and would LOOK
after Sally for me, but she wanted
me to stay on the train, or near it,
to patrol it. She didn't tell me
there was a lot of money in her
stateroom, or I'd have stationed
myself in there"
"You see," Sally interrupted
eagerly. Il told you l hadn't SAID
a word to him about the safe"
safe" David glanced down at
her, puzzled $50 this Steve crook
cracked a safe to get the money,
did he I didn't inow--didn't have
time to find out"
And I told you it was man
named Steve!" Sally reminded
them joyously, raising David's cold
hand to her lips. They thought 1
was making it all up, Dave, but
they believed me after while"
Il suppose Sally has told you
that we saw Mia and some man
walking in the moonlight that last
night we we're in Stanton. David
addressed Pope Bybee. 1--WE heard
her call him Steve, and say some
thing about what she'd do to him
if he double crossed her. I should
have told you then, Mr.. Bybee, but
I didn't have an idea Mia was
planning to rob the outfit, and any
way" he blushed, his eyes
twinkling fondly at Sally-"by
morning I'd forgotten all about it.
I couldn't think of anything but
but Sally. You see, we'd just told
each other that night that that
well, sir, that we loved each
other and"
anybody else in the whole outfit
could have told you that" Bybee
chuckled. Its all right, Dave.
Carnival folks usually mind their
own business and spend damn little
time toting tales"
