AND NOW TE CIRCUS
_ I®has been definitely announced
that the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth is to exhibit in
Sayre. Aug 24 This will be grati-
fying news to all who appreciate
. and enjoy a high class modern cir-
cus performance. The Barnum &
Builey show, according to all pre-
liminary reports, not only retains
Supremancy as the leader in
“arenic amusements, but even a cur-
sory glance at the list of this year's
big features compels the conclusion
that its own former records have
been surpassed.
_ This season's talk- compelling
sensations embrace the exciting
»Two Twirls of Terror,” in which
two death-defying bicyclists turn
complete revolutions on their
“wheels while shooting through
space; the “Dip of Death,” in
which a beautiful young American
girl “loops the gap” in an automo-~
mobile, and several other “thrillers”
that have created unlimited dis.
cussion.
It is evident, however, that these
startliog acts are not permitted to
interfere with the general excel-
~ lence of the circus performance, for
the roster of great riders, acrobats
and aerialists is an exceptionally
long and varied one. There are
_ also scores of original and novel
offerings, quite different from any
* thing hitherto presented in the
American circus arena; the trained
animal features are described as
unusually novel and effective; there
is an amusing infusion of comedy
by a company of up-to-date clowns:
the old Roman races are revived
of a colossal scale, and a notably
complete collection of rare animals
(offers an interestiog study to the
crowds that visit the big show.
There will be no parade by the
_ Barnum & Bailey circus, but a sen

girl In white, but the young man sat
In utter darknega. So far as he was
concerned It was an outer darkness
also. Still, he had made up his mind
for the dozenth time to speak up and
| end his suspense The previous 11
times his courage had failed at the
critical moments.
“It's mighty comfortable here on
the porch.” he began
“Do you think so? asked the girl,
vaguely .
“It certainly $s" sald the young
man, leaning forward “1—1 don't
suppose It's just the porch and the
flowers, either, that makes It so niece
I know I shouldn't enjoy It is the
least if some one clve—if you—If you
weren't sitting opposite me!”

she gasped. “How | hate them' No,
it isn’t la my halr—you'll pull it down

"Oh, no!“gprotested the young man
who realized that golng Into the house
meant lights turned on full He knew
be never would have the courage to
Banish what he wanted to say In a
glare. “It's nicer out here!”
“l don’t belle®® you care a bit
whether those flappy things fly at me
or not!” she sald, indignantly,
“Care! “erfed the young man, fer
vently. “Why, Elizabeth, 1 care so
much—I1 wouldn't let anything hurt

The girl had abruptly walked over
to the geranlums “My, these need

“Dog't you think flowers are an awful

man. “As | was saving [ care
The girl gave another little shriek
and slapped at her arm
she sald, penitently. “1-1 futerrupt-

your name or not?’
“l didn’t say,” repiled the young
man. “I was conversing om an en-
tirely different subject Why don’t you

fortable. | wish you would llsten to

“Why, Dick!" erfed the girl In bean
tifuily polite surprise. “Of course I'm
listening! What else could I be do-
lng when there's no one else here but
you?”
“Thank you," sald the young man,
bitterly. “I suppose if there were
some one else to relieve you from the
stupidity of my remarks you'd be
only too glad to listen to him!'”
“I'm sure | don't know what you
mean.” sald the girl with what sound-
ed like angelic patience “Really, Dick,
you haven't sald much of anything.
Your conversation has been well,
rather Incoberent thus far to-night!™
“You don’t give me a chance'" he
sald, indignantly. “I believe you do
it on purpose!”
“For mercy’s sake, do what?’ she
demanded, clasping her bands and
leaning toward him.
The young man opened his mouth
and shut it again when he reflected
on the Impossibility of putting into
words just what she was doing. He
drew a long sigh and began again:
“Elizabeth,” he sald, “it's pot that
I bave much to eay, but somehow I
can't get It out—and Yéu know—and
you won't help. 1—"
Th girl gave a startled Jump and
brushed something off her gown
“Excuse me.” she sald. “Jt

“Funny they don’t bother me any,”
sald the young man with suspicion
“They're nothing to be afrald of, any-
how. Elizabeth, you've got to Heten—
there's nothing on earth that cap stop
me now, for I will have my say and
I'm going to keep on till I've sald It

He sprang to his feet with an ex-
clamation, and performed a tolerably
good war dance for some seconds
He coughed and strangled.
“I—one of those confounded things
flew down my throat” he explained,
between gasps.
“Goodness'” sald the girl, sweetly,
“Why let a little thing like that ins
terupt you?
“Ellzadbeth, will yon MArTYy me?
