A Complete New Adventure Each Week. Beginning Monday and Ending Saturday
CHAPTER III.
In the Dressing Tent
(Peggy and the Birds ara outside the cir
cus grounds when three animals, belonging
to the act of Jerry the Clown, escape. The
clown and Little Countcsi Alice, his daugh
ter, ar In despair until Bill); Belgium and
Peggy volunteer to supply' their places
with Balky Sam, Johnny Bull and Billy
Goat.)
HEE-HAWt Hee-hw.l Save
us from those terrible
Eagles," brayed Circus
Mike, bucking frantically in vainef
forts to get rid of the Birds on, his
back.
Peggy laughed at his thinking that
the Swallows, Woodpeckers and King
Birds were Eagles, but nevertheless
she called off their attack.
"That was quick work," she said to
General Swallow, "Please keep oq
guard, so if these animals try to es
cape again you can drive them back."
"Don't you worry about that,"
brayed Circus Mike, trying to reach
his sore spots with his tongue. "We'll
not venture into that awful woods
again while these voracious Eagles
are at large.H
"Voracious Eagles," laughed Peg
gy. "Why, they were only tiny
Birds." She pointed to the Swallows,
Woodpeckers and King Birds, who
had lined up on the limb of a tree
and were grinning down at the ani
mals. "Nonsense," brayed Circus Mike,
"They were Eagles or Vultures or
Ostriches or mayhe Auks-1 could take
off the heads of these whippersnap
pers in one bite." He made a snatch
at General Swallow, who dodged
quickly.
"Oh, could you?" screamed General
Swallow. He darted at Circus Mike's
back and dug in with his beak.
"Ouch! Oh I Quit!" brayed Circus
Mike, thrashing out with his feet
whirling around and reaching put
with his wide-open jaws. But Gen
eral Swallow had been wise enough
to choose a snot .where Circus Mike
could not reach him, and there he
kept boring in and boring in, until
Circus Mike yelled tor mercy.
"Stopr he brayed. 1 believe you.
"Hee-haw 1 Hee-haw! Hee-haw I"
laughed Ba'Vy Sam. "Licked by a
Swallow! Hee-hawl Hee-haw!"
"Well, if it isn't that tough old
army nvule brother of mine," brayed
Urcus Mke, surprised at seeing
Balkv Same there. "I can lick you,
nyway." With that he went at Balky
Same with bared teeth, and it looked
to Peggy as though there was going
to be a md battle between the broth
ers, for Balky Sam met his attack
just as savagely. But in a moment
she saw that for all their pretended
fierceness they were only fooling,
giving expression in this rough way
to their affection for each other-
just like twP puppies in growling
play.
A bugle call sounding from the
show grounds brought both mules to
sudden attention.
"It's the get-ready call for our act,
brayed Circus Mike.
"Owt act " corrected Balky bam.
"We're going in your places."-
"Are you a strike-breaker?" brayed
Circus Mike irijignantly.
"No; Jhere aren't going to be any
strikes in wartime" replied Balky
Sam. "We'r i"st going to show you

Esther Casper of St, Mary's school
won the prize for having put up the
most jars of any girl, and Nick
Schultz put up most among the hoys.
There were 102 prizes given for the
best, second and third jars of various
fruits and vegetables. All prizes were

Some of the prize cans were auc

how your act ought to be put on.
Then we'll settle your trouble peace
fully." "Hee-haw! You'll show us! Hee
hawl That's funny! I'd like to see
you do it,' 'taunted Circus Mike, but
Peggy thought there was a touch
of jealousy in his voice.
"Then come on and see us," Peggy
suggested. "You can have an after
noon's vacation and see the show like
regular folks."
. "It will not be much of show
with Balky Sam spoiling my part,"
brayed Circus Mike.
"Ill take Princess Peggy to where
Countess Alice keeps her dresses," of
fered Nanny Goat
"And I'll tak Billy Belgium to Jer
ry's trunk, where he can get his clown
outfit," volunteered Biston Bull.
"Then away we go," brayed Balky
Sam, offering his back to Peggy, who
quickly hopped on. Just as quickly
Billy Belgium vaulted upon the back
of Circus Mike, and with the Goats,
the dogs and the Birds following they
rushed down the hill and among the
circus tents.
To avoid discovery of the change,
the animals entered the tent separate
ly, so the circus folks would think
Balky Sam was Circus Mike, and
Johnny Bull was Boston Bull, and
that Billy Goat was Nanny Goat.
Thus no one paid any attention
to them.
Peggy sliped off Balky Sam's back,
and Nanny led her into the women's
dressing tent. Peggy found herself in
a large canvas room, across which
ran rows of trunks placed on the
eround. Above these were ropes on
which hung costumes and draperies.
Around each trunk was arranged a
tiny dressing room. In these dress
ing rooms were dozens of girls and
women preparing for the afternoon
show. They were having the mer
riest kind of a time laughing and
talking. Many of them were talking
English, but Pegey also heard
snatches of strange foreign lan
guages. Nanny Goat led the way to a trunk
in the corner, and there Peggy found
spread out a dainty, fluffy costume.
"It's one of Countess Alice's
dresses. Hurry into it," bleated Nan
ny Goat.
Pulling the curtains, Peggy speed
ily transformed Jierself from an ordi
nary little girl into a "wondrous star
of the arena."
(Tomorrow will be told how Peggy gets

'The demand seems to be for the

In fact in many respects they have
