 CHAPTER NNII
 "Poo~ kid.' David consoled her after her first almost hysterical out burst. T can't talk to you now, and you shouldn't be here. You've got to go back for your last perform ance. The show has to so on. They've been decent to us, and we can't throw them over without warning"
 But David, we've got to run away again." Sally whimpered, clinging to both his arms. bare to the shoulders in anticipation of his work in helping to load the car nival for its 30-mile drag to the capital. We cant go back to Cap itai City, We'll be caught. Listen, David"
 GO back to your show tent" David commanded her sternly. 'Ill be working pretty late help ing to load up, but I'll whistle a bar from Always under your Pull man window. We all sleep on the train tonight, and pull out for Cap ital City some time before morning. We pick up the engine at three o'clock. believe. Plenty of time shook her little to make her stop shivering and whimpering with fear. Buck up. honey! I'm not going to let the police get you; neither is Pop Bybee. Dear little Sally!' and he stopped from his great height to brush the tip of her short. brown-p powdered nose with his lips.
 During the last performance in the Palace of Wonders a village constable, his star shining impor- tantly from the lapel of his Palm Beach suit. sauntered leisurely through the tent, eyeing the freaks with skcptical amusement and ask ing all the Smart -Aleck questions which the more timid members of the carnival crowd longed to ask and did not dare.

 With his 'y's as remote and sad and patient as if he had not heard or understood a word Of the con stables insult. Jan obeyed, rolling his trousers 10 the knees.
