CHAPTER XIII.LEO MAKES A CHANGE.

Leo stared at the circus treasurer in amazement.

"For stealing two thousand circus tickets?" he repeated.

"Exactly, young man."

"I am innocent."

"I don't believe Leo would steal a pin," put in Natalie Sparks, who had just come up.

"That's not for you to decide, Miss Sparks." said Giles sharply. "We found evidence against you in your trunk, young man. You may as well confess."

"What evidence?" asked Leo, bewildered.

The circus treasurer mentioned the red strips.

"I never placed them there," declared Leo. "Somebody has been tampering with that trunk."

"That's too thin," sneered Giles.

"Of course it's too thin," put in Snipper, who was watching the scene with an ill-concealed smile of triumph on his face.

Leo looked at the gymnast sharply. Then he suddenly bounded toward Snipper and ran him up against a pile of boxes.

"You scoundrel! This is some of your work! I can see it in your face."

He choked Snipper until the man was red in the face.

"Letlet me go!" gasped the second-rate gymnast finally.

"Let him go, Dunbar," ordered Giles, and caught Leo by the collar.

The noise of the trouble had spread, and now Barton Reeve appeared on the scene.

"What's the meaning of all this?" he demanded.

He was quickly told by Natalie Sparks.

"I do not believe Leo is guilty, in spite of the red strips found in the trunk," he said.

He talked the matter over with Giles, and finally Leo, Giles, and Barton Reeve went off to interview the manager.

Answer the questions at the end based on the text.

Flanders is the Dutch-speaking northern portion of Belgium, although there are several overlapping definitions, including ones related to culture, language, politics and history. It is one of the communities, regions and language areas of Belgium. The demonym associated with Flanders is Fleming, while the corresponding adjective is Flemish. The official capital of Flanders is Brussels, although Brussels itself has an independent regional government, and the government of Flanders only oversees the community aspects of Brussels life such as (Flemish) culture and education.

In historical contexts, Flanders originally refers to the County of Flanders (Flandria), which around AD 1000 stretched from the Strait of Dover to the Scheldt estuary. The core of historical Flanders is situated within modern-day Flanders and corresponds to the provinces West Flanders and East Flanders, but it sometimes stretched into what is now France and the Netherlands. Nevertheless, during the 19th and 20th centuries it became increasingly commonplace to use the term "Flanders" to refer to the entire Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, stretching all the way to the River Maas, as well as cultural movements such as Flemish art. In accordance with late 20th century Belgian state reforms the area was made into two political entities: the "Flemish Community" () and the "Flemish Region" (). These entities were merged, although geographically the Flemish Community, which has a broader cultural mandate, covers Brussels, whereas the Flemish Region does not.
