Chapmam) Cy Bartels slung the straps ot his juggling kit over his shoulder, and started off from the great flaring white circus tent with a cheery whistle. “It's like beginning life all over again,” he soliloquized, “only L've got | last month’s salary in my pocket. Ho, for the road and adventure! Wish I was a wandering minstrel. Aha! there's a genuine one. Open-hearted Cy paused to look up into a tree and drink in the wild, sweet melody of 2 red-breasted robin, perch- ed on a high limb. He had not been always a circus juggler. Once he had been. a prime violinist and had led an orchestra. Then he had drifted into the juggling art. The irresponsible life of the circus just suited him. So, for nearly a week Cy roved where he listed. The balmy air, the smiling flowers, the singing birds, lit- tle wayside meetings with this and that odd character enchanted him. One dark, lowering morning Cy left a little village on a ten mile tramp. It had rained the night before, and at the tavern where he had bought his breakfast he was warned to post- pone his journey. “Oh, T like the rain. me grow!" he jubilated. Cy changed his mind, five miles ac- complished. He had never encoun- tered such a deluge. His clothing was soaked through. At a ford he had gone over his head in the water through a slip, and had barely rescued his precious juggling and musical out- fit. The road he was now pursuing was flooded clear over its center. There were dangerous ruts and quagmires. The downpour was incessant, and a cold wind had come up that chilled him to the marrow. “I've got to get to shelter some- where,” mused Cy, and finally, upon a slight elevation at a distance, he made out a house. As he neared it, he discovered that a surging brook far over its banks iso- lated the place on three sides. In front of it was a depression, now a perfect pond “There's a barn behind the house,” he reflected. “I'll ask them to let me camp there until this storm lets up a little.” There was a deep ditch to cross, panned by a board. The frail plank snapped in two as Cy balanced on its center. When he managed to get out of the water that had submerged him, he noticed on the porch of the house a neat-looking female; staring in’con- cern at his unpleasant predicament. She beckoned to him urgently. As he neared her, the humorous aspect of | the situation made his cheery face { break into a smile. Then, as he looked upon a sweet-faced woman ot about twenty-five, still in the bloom of her beguty, he lifted his dripping cap and made his best stage bow. “Miss, T hope T do not trouble you, but if you would let me have shelter in the barn yonder for a spell—" “Oh, dear, no! Come right In through the hall to the kitchen, where there {8 a good warm fire,” invited the lady. “Never mind the wet. I can mop that up.’ “Why, it's like heaven and you are its ange1!” declared Cy sincerely, as he was greeted by the warm, comfort- able air of the kitchen. “We have a gardener here in sum- mer and I think you will find some of his clothes in the room overhead,” ex- plained the lady. “You can dry your own while you wear them.” Cy's face wore a constant smile of happiness and contentment as the hours of the gloomy day wore on. His kind hostess provided a cheering meal. Then six little children came into the kitchen to inspect the stranger. Then Cy found out that his hostess was a Miss Mercy Walters. This was her little home. Each one of the children was a cripple. She explained that she had given her life to care for such homeless and friendless waifs. Soon Cy had the little group fas- cinated. He made them gape as he “ate fire,” as he sent a cascade of daz- zling metal balls into the air, as he It will make \ swallowed a sword, and finally en- |, E | l l Repairs Quickly Made No one appreciates more than we do the necessity for speed in our Repair Department.

For three days he, with the others, | was marooned. The gardener’s room had been given him. He did all the chores about barn and garden. Often and often he made Miss Walters smile at his quaint. frank heartiness. “I'd fike to be a fixture,’ he said to himself. “And Miss Mercy,—no, ['d better get away before I find it too hard to leave here.” He followed out this resolution a week later. The little ones clung to him and wept at his departure. Miss Walters was strangely fluttered “If you would stay, T could afford to pay you something,” she ventured. “For a lahor of (ove—of love all around?” he cried, and she flugshed | deeply. “Miss Mercy, 1 would feel | life a blessing to live it always helping | you make these dear little ones hap- py."” “Don't go,” she said suddenly and | brokenly, and her trembling hand rest- | ed on his arm “If I dared to think that you would | be glad to have me return,” he said, | “before 1 put a momentous ruestion | to you, I would do so.
