A ma hat was pulled u on his face, throwing it in dow, heavy-jawed, © and a ragged black mustache. An unlighted cigar twisted at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes stayed with the clown and the ring- master, not missing a move, not laughing. It was an old story to him exit dre « de Bh b n GUST of ayplaus. and laughter sollowed the exit of the clown. ‘iretly!” the ring-master shouted, end Dirk turned to see a girl flying into the arena on a coal-black horse. The girl was tressed in red—tight red treusers, flaring at the ankles, silver buttons down the side, a sil. ver-and-red bolero, a brero. Slim and straight she stood, tak- ing off her hat as she came, holding it in her hand. Her hair rose and fell, a tong curling bob, black as the horse. She seemed as much a part of her mount as if she had been a flaming wing Now she had saddle, had flurg her Tr the ground. Round and round Yhe ring she went, the horse gathering speed. Suddenly she had swooped under him, and left her saddle, was in it again, while the crowd ap- plauded. Now she stood with one foot on the horse's head and one in the saddle, crouching slightly, a fly- ing pose, a reautiful pose. The man in the panama hat still stood at the exit. There was no anxiety in his face y more than there had been amusement while the clown performed. He dowed with faith, or with indiffer- It was over.

Dirk snatched the rose from his lapel, and with a deft movement flung it to her. “Bravo!” he shouted. She caught the token lightly, thrust it into the neck of her blouse, galloped out. Almost at once the horse re- turned, reins dangling, the clown jumping at his side, endeavoring | to mount him. Now he succeeded, attempting to stand on his back as | “rob 2S G AMES AMERICAN “LEAGUE Washington at St. Philadelphia at Detroit. New York at Chicago. Boston at Cleveland.

The man in the panama hat was gone from the exit. Firefly, the girl- rider, stood in nis place. Not quite in his place—back farther in the shadow, slightly outside the tent. A dark green cape was thrown about her slight red figure, and she stood watching the clown. | Suddenly she was ware of Dirk. Amid the roars of laughter Dirk stepped down. He wanted to ask Firetly where she had got her pony. A Spanish pony, it looked like. He wanted to tell her it was a beauty, and she was a darned plucky rider. He hoped she wouldn't mind.
