AAWW OaM SHE Get LIS
.- Ring Back
Dear Miss Fairfax: ..
I went with a young man for
some time, during which he
gave me his class ring. We
have not gone together for two
months, but I still think quite
a lot of him. T don't know
what cause the break in our
friendship, unless it was be-

murmur of voices coming
through window-like apertures,
of which there were two on each
side. One entered at the rear,
by the aid of two steps suspend
ed from and hinged to the door
Of the vehicle which could be
pushed back and out Of the way
when travelling.
Dale had to pass along the
length of the wagon to reach
these steps. But what he heard
made him pause and listen. 1t
was a woman'S voice, low and
plaintive and frightened.
".. after I was undressed I
gazed out of the window for q
while. Then / saw Mr.. Beller

until I saw something creeping
along not far behind him, keep

did you recognize it?" Now
it was a mans voice.
ST couldn't. II could Just

night Queen Anne was attacked.
I heard her cry out, and got TO
the back door in time to see the

Anne's wagon is next to ours,
but she didn't see me-I waited,
but she made no further at
tempt to get help, so thought,
maybe, she had some reason for
keeping quiet. 7 was still awake
an hour later, when Carl Wiegle
came along. He must have been
out somewhere when Anne was
attacked. I heard them arguing
for some time"

CHAPTER /.

The first breath of spring
was in the air the day Robin
Dale received the letter from
Roy Swarney. He had arrived
at the Daily Journal office
rather early and found it on
bis desk.
A garish appeal was attached
to the envelope with its blatant
legend across the top done in
bright red ink upon yellow
background. "Beller and Swar-
ney Circus"-(it read-"Great-
est Show on Earth"
Maybe they want me to do
q juggling act" unused Dale as
he surveyed the envelope a mo-
ment longer. Finally, he tore it
open. If he had been perpleed
at first he became mystified
and surprised as he read the
message. It was in longhand;
bold. easily-legible letters.
Dear Mr.. Dale" it ran:
"The Great Beller and Swarney
Circus was playing Long Island
when you made a monkey out
Of Scrimley's Ghost. We heard
rumors about it and I got the
low-down when we did a Satur-
day night stand at Speonk.
Well, there's something un-
healthy loose under our big
top. 7 don't dare write any
more than that. This thing is
worse than a ghost, but I think
you can find it. We're playing
GAINESVILLE, N. j., on Thursday.
If you'll come on I'll tell you
the whole story. And you'll get
a yarn out of it like you've
never written before. Sincerely
yours, Roy Swarney."
There was an intensely vague
tone to the letter which in
trigued Dale. It told nothing
and get suggested a great deal.
He mused over it for a long
time before he took it to Ell
bert Bailey's desk and laid it
before the city editor without
comment. Bailey read the let
ter; then he re-read it. Finally
he looked up.
Thursday? Tomorrow
When are you leaving?" Bailey
took it for granted.
I'm the morning. I want to
see Leo Carlin on Billboard and
The Washington times., 1930-09-29

get some dope on the circus.
Never heard of it, have you7"
Dale continued as Bailey shook
his head. Its only a few
hours to GAINESVILLE. OF course,
don't know how long I'll be
tied up"
"Stick to it as long as you
think necessary If it doesn't
prove to be a false alarm"
Robin Dale had lunch with
Leo Carlin of the Billboard
staff. One vague bit of informa-
ton increased the reporters in
terest in the unknown quest. It
came about like this:
"You probably wouldn't hear
about the Beller and Swarney
show" Carlin was explaining
over the luncheon table, at

been doing the one and two
night stands for a number Of
years. It's a two-ring top with
an assortment of freaks on the
side. Our reports show that the
circus has been making money
pretty steadily. Both partners

happened in some small place
in Virginia-one of the animals.
I think. Things like that hap
pen in the circus"
And that was the extent of
Robin Dale's advance informa-
ton when he stepped off the
train at GAINESVILLE late the fol-
lowing forenoon. The circus
grounds were located at the
other end of town. Dale never
could tell what prompted him
to take one of the dilapidated
station takes that day. Ordi.
narily he would have enjoyed
the walk but the fact that he
rode and arrived at the circus
before the usual morning pa
rade had returned to the tents,
gave him the first clue-when
he recalled the incident later
to the identity of the human
fiend who wrought such death
and destruction within the can
vas walls.

Murders at the Circus = By Arthur Hoerl

The taxi took a back street,
as Central Avenue, the main
thoroughfare, was, at the mo-
ment, the scene % the circus
parade. The grounds were quite
deserted when Dale's taxi drew
up near the main entrance to
the big top. One Of the few
workers lettering about gave
Dale the directions to Roy
Swarney's headquarters.
Alongside the main tent,
which was a two-ring affair,
was the smaller side-Show tent
with it's startling, gaudy, afro
ciously-painted canvaSeS depict
ing the freaks. Dale went
around this tent. In the rear
was a long, low tent, unques-
tionably where the horses were
stabbed. This was quite a dis
tance beyond the main tents.
Still further away were the
circus wagons, the living quar-
ters of the troupe. There were
IL or Is of these, done in bright
red with yellow wheels, and
across the side of each was the
Beller and Swarney legend.
The wagons containing the
wild animals, lions, tigers and
such, were probably in the mid
way leading up to the big top.
Roy Swarney was to be found,
Dale had been told, in wagon No.
2. The reporter spotted it easily
enough. It was one of two which
were considerably larger than
the rest, and stood q bit apart at
the entrance end of huge semi
circle into which the wagons
were drawn.

Just what does this mean?
Does it mean three or four

Or does it mean 'petticoat phi

the day, when the rustic Of a
