PASN MUOaf Here is a circus romance red olent of the rash sawdust of the ring, vibrant with the inces sant clamor of the band, pano ramic in its ever moving display of clowns, acrobats, horses and captive wild animals. You will read of Polly, the daughter of the circus, and of Bingo, on whose broad back she rode ; of the "leap of death" girl; oj "Mttvver Jim," the boss canvas man, and Toby, the clown, who loved the circus orphan and cared for her like father and mother; of Deacon Strong, who hated a circus, and of Rev. John Douglas, who grew to love a err. cus girl You will read of gos sip that threatened to divide a pastor and his flock, of Ruth and Naomi, of a show girl's re nunciation end of Polly's first and last ride on Barbarian, the circus horse. CHAPTEB I. mHE band of the "Great American Circus" was playing noisily. The performance was In fill? swing. Beside a shabby trunk In the wo men's dressing tent Eat a young, wist ful faced girl, chin In hand, unheeding the chatter of the women about hei or the picturesque disarray of the sur rounding objects. Her eyes had been so long accustomed to the glitter and ttavvl of circus fineries that she saw nothing unusual In a picture thai might have held a painter spellbound. Circling the inside of the tent and forming a double line down the center were partially unpacked trunks belch ins forth impudent masses of satins, laces, artificial hair, paper flowers and paste jewels. The scent of moist earth mingled oddly with the perfumed odors of the garments heaped on the grass. Here and there high circles of lights threw a strong, steady glare upon the half clad figure of a robust acrobat or the thin, drooping shoulders Of a less stalwart sister. Temporary ropes stretched from one pole to an other were laden with bright colored stockings, gaudy, spangled gowns or dusty street clothes discarded by the performers before slipplnjg into their circus attire. There were no nails or hooks, so hats and veils were pinned to the canvas walls. The furniture was limited to one camp chair In front of each trunk, the till of which served as a tray for the paints, powders and other essentials of makeup. . A pall of water stood by the Bide of each chair, so that the performers M tc wot ?iat VUH0- faced girt - ' ' -II . lar mApA tjgbte, naDO.ercu.-i .

She tossed her head, the pride of class distinction welling high in her ample bosom. "He ain't askln' us to warm up to her," contradicted Mile. Kloise, a pale, light haired sprite, who had arrived late and was making undignified ef forts to get out of her clothes by way of her head. She was Polly's under study and next in line for the star place In the bill. "Well, Barker has put her Into the 'leap of death' stunt, ain't he?" con tinued the brunette. "Course that ain't a regular circus act." she added, somewhat mollified, "and so far she's had to dress with the freaks, but the next thing we know he'll be rlngln' her in on a regular stunt and be put tin' her in to dress with us." "No danger of that," sneered the blond. "Barker is too old a stager to mix up his sheep and his goats." Polly had again lost the thread of the conversation. Her mind had gone roving to the night when the fright ened girl about whom they were talk ing had made her first appearance in the circus lot, clinging timidly to the hand of the man who had just made her his wife. Her eyes had met Pol ly's with a look of appeal that had gone straight to the child's simple heart. A few nights later the newcomer had allowed herself to be strapped Into the cumbersome "leap of death" machfnA which hnrlPfl itsplf thrnncrh .. ..0 space at each performance and flung Itself down with force enough to break the neck of any unskilled rider. Cour age and steady nerve were the requi sites for the job, so the maL.iger had said, but any physician would have told him that only a trained acrobat could long endure the nervous strain, the muscular tension and the physical rack of such an ordeal. What matter? Tho few dollars earned in this way would mean a great deal to the mother whom the girl's marriage had left desolate. Polly had looked on hungrily the night that the mother had taken the daughter in her arms to say farewell in the little country town where the circus had played before her marriage. She could remember no woman's arms about her, for it was fourteen years since tender bands bad carried her mother from the performers' tent Into the moonlit lot to die. The baby was so used to seeing "mumsle" throw her self wearily oh the ground after com ing out of the "big top" exhausted that she crept to the woman's side, as usual, that night and gazed laughingly Into the sightless eyes, gurgling and prattling and stroking the unrespon oiuo fnre. There were tears from those who watched, but no word was spoken. Clown Toby and the big "boss can vasman" Jim had always taken turns amusing and guarding little Polly while ber mother rode in the ring. So Toby now carried the babe to another side of the lot, and Jim bore the life less body of tho mother to the distant ticket wagon, now closed for the night, and lnld it upon the seller's cot. "It's alius Ilka this in the end," he murmured as he drew a piece of can vas over the white face and turned away to give orders to the men who were beginning to load the . "props" used earlier In the performance. When the show moved on that night it was Jim's strong arms that lifted the mite of a Polly close to hla tnl wart heart and climbed with her to the high seat on the head wagon. Un clo Toby was Intrusted with the brown satchel In which the mother had al ways carried Polly'a scanty wardrobe. It seomed to these two men that the eyes of the woman were fixed steadily upon tbem. Barker, the manager, a large, noisy, good natured fellow, at first mumbled something about the kid being "excess baggage," but hla objections were only half hearted, for, like the others, he was already under the hypnotic spell of the baby round, confiding eyes, and be eventually contented himself with an occasional reprimand to Toby, who was now sometimes late on bis eoea. Polly wondered at these tinx-s why the old man's atoriea were so sud denly cut abort Just aa ahe wae to -comfy" in the soft grans at hla feet Tne boy who need to look harp tuaVof their bo- t Kmdtag time now learned that they might loiter so long at -Marrer Jim" was -hlkln It roand for the kid." It was Polly who had dubbed big Jim "Mnvvrr " and the sobriquet had stock to him In apttt of bis six feet two and eboolder that n athlete might have enviea iw by little Toby grew more stooped, and small lines of anxiety crept Into the brownish rirclee beneath JtaTe eyee, the lips that had once abut so firmly became tender and tremulous, tra netV tber of the men woold flllngty bare tone back to the old enlVKtoeea.

MEAD AND COMPACT "I" always said she'd do It!" fried Barker, who now took upon himself the credit of Polly's triumph. And what a triumph It was! Polly dunced as serenely on Bingo's back as she might have done on the concert boards. She swayed grace fully with the music. Her tiny san dals twinkled as she stood first upon one foot and then upon the other. Uncle Toby forgot to use many of bis tricks that night, and Jim left the loading of the wagons to take care of Itself while he hovered near the en trance, anxious and breathless. The performers crowded around the girl with outstretched hands and congrat ulations as she came out of tbe ring to oheers and applause. But "Big Jim" stood apart. He was thinking of the buttons that bis clum sy fingers used to force into the stiff, starchy boles too small for them and of the pigtails so stubborn at the ends, and Toby was remembering the little shoes that had once needed to be laced In tbe cold, dark mornings and the strings that were always snapping. Something bad gone. ' They were not philosophers to rea son, like Emerson, that for everything we lose we gain something. They were simple souls, these two; they could only feel. CHAPTER II. T1TlHILE Polly sat In the dressing lAfl tent listening Indifferently to II I the chatter about the "leap of ' ' 1 death" girl Jim waited In the lot outside, opening and shutting a small leather bag which he had bought fur her that day. He was as blind to tbe picturesque outdoor life as she to her indoor surroundings, for he, too, bad been with the circus since his earliest recollection. The grass lnclosure where be waited Was shut in by a circle of tents and Wagons. The great red property vans were waltlna to be loaded with tbe costumes and tackle which were con stantly being brought from the big ton. wbero the evening performance was now going on. The gay striped curtains at tbe rear of the tent were looped back to give air to tbe panting musicians, who sat lust Inside. Through the opening a glimpse of the audience mio-hr ha hnd. tier urjon tier, fanning and shifting uneasily. Near tbe main tent stood the long, low dressing top, with the women performers stowed away in one end, tbe ring horses in the center and tbe men performers In the other end. A temporary curtain was hung be tween tbe main and tbe dressing tent to shut out tbe curious mob that tried to peep in at the back lot for a glimpse of things not to be seen in the ring. Colored streamers fastened to the roofs of tho tents waved and floated in tho nlpht air and beckoned to tbe townspeople on the other side to make haste to get their places, rorget ineir cares and be children again. Over tbe tops of the tents tbe lurid light of tbe distant red fire shot Into the sky, accompanied by the cries of tbe peaaat "botcbara." tbe popcera boys, tbe krmoomde veadera and tbe xbortataoaai of tbe sMeahev aptelar. vboea fiytog baaaars bore tbe painted reprodBcUooa of hla freaka.

And back of all this, pointing upward In mute protest, rose a solemn church spire, white and majestic against a vast panorama of bine, moonlit hills that encircled the wbolo lurid picture.
