N’H morning long before the
VS groat shows took to the rails
McAlpine’s Combined Colos
sal Hippodrome and Consum
mation of Wonders was expected to
pa~>> tiirongh Ireseott. The youngest
generation of this village—that is to
say. all that part of it that could move
on two legs—had been anticipating th's
event for fully three weeks. The ma
jority of the barns and sheds in the
vicimty had proclaimed the allure
ments of spangled bareback riders,
roaring lions, snarling tigers, daring
contortionists and trapeze performers,
elephants, monkeys and women who
stood on tiptoes on the backs of swift
horses and passed unscathed through
hoops of fire.
All tills had been seen and admired
by -Tacky Hopkins and Matilda Vinton,
besides a score of others. .Tacky was
ten \ ears old, and Matilda was four
years his senior. According to the
juvenile gossip of the village, they were
“jest gone on each other.”
The passing of the circus gave rise
to picturesque ambitions in the young
hearts of Trescott. The career of that
patron saint of New Hampshire. Dan
iel W ebster. faded into insignificance
in comparison with the attainments of
the heroines and heroes pictured in
rainbow colors. Such youthful yearn
ings for fame are familiar to all who
have not forgotten that they were once
young and are generally of brief dura
tion.
“I think. .Tacky, my pa an’ ma are
meaner than the meanest, ’cause they
won t lot me go ter the circus termor-
rcr, ' said Matilda, “but you can just
bet I’m a-goin’.”
Jacky’s little blue eyes widened in
surprise. Scarcely a day passed that
Tilda’s dynamic nature did not send
thrills of wonder up and down his
diminutive spine.
“Why, Tilda, you wouldn't run off
down ter Woodbine all alone, would
you ?”
“Co’se I would, Jaeky—that is, if
I jest had the money ter get inter the
circus with. An’ I wanter jine it, too;
I wanter jine the circus.”
Little Jaeky gasped in amazement.
“You jine the circus, Tilda Vinton!
You couldn’t do nothin’, Tilda. Why.
what was you chinkin’ o doin’?”'
“Oh, I jest know I could! Jest let me
git dressed up as them wimmin be
an’—an’ sleep in oil sheets, an' 1 jest
bet I could do anything. You know,
Jaeky Hopkins, I can do lots o’ things
tliet you can't. You couldn’t git on the
ridgepole o’ pa’s barn an’ walk aerost
it jest as if it was a tight rope. An’
I’ve shinned up tliet big pine back o’
your house, an’ you didn’t git up but
half way. An’ I jumped forty feet
from the upper hayloft in our barn down
onter the liay, an’ you didn't dast try.
’Tain’t ’cause you ain’t smart, only I’m
made ter be in a circus.”-
She put her arm about the little fel
low’s waist, with all the superiority
of her fourteen summers. Jaeky was
impressed. Visions of the wonderful
exploits he had seen Tilda perform
since the advent of the circus posters
rose before him. There wasn’t a boy
in the village who could do what Tilda
had done, and he was the only one
who had frankly admired her, while
the others had hidden their chagrin
by calling her tomboy and other names
which only delighted her with their
unintentional flattery.
Now she had stimulated his boyish
fancy, and he believed she was right.
She was the greatest living wonder to
him, and he longed to help her.
“Guess you'd do, Tilda, arter you’d
been trained,” .Tacky admitted.
“An’ it’s real mean ter think tliet I
can’t he what I was made ter he. How
d’you s’pose anybody was ever able ter
be anything onless their folks let ’em
try?”
I never thought o’ goin’ down ter
Woodbine, an’ I know my folks
wouldn’t let me. But, then, I couldn’t
do anything. Now, with you, Tilda,
t’s different. You can do things, an’
your folks had orter let you.”
“Well, I’m jest a-goin’ ter, somehow;
tliet’s all.”
And so Tilda resolved to join the
circus. The really unfortunate thing
about Alatilda was that she generally
put through all she made up her juve
nile mind to do, and, still worse, often
times she was equally firm in not do-
g what she did not want to.
Their delicious speculation on the fu
ture was interrupted by the imperative
summons of Jacky’s mother.
“There’s your ma a-callin’,” Alatilda
sneered. “She’s alius coddlin’ you.
You’ll never grow up if you don’t git
oatern her way. Arter I’ve j’ined the
circus I’ll git a chance for you ter sell
lemonade.”
“Oh, good, Tilda! I’d do jest any
thing ter go with you! An’ don’t fergit
ter he up by 4 o’clock termorrer so’s
ter see the circus go through.”
It was a long time before Jaeky went
to sleep that night. He was haunted
with the mingled desire to help his
“girl” to fulfill her ambition and the
temptation to contribute thereto by en
dowing her with ail liis worldly wealth,
just $2.47, which he had made “plum-
min’.”
Jaeky had an account in the hank,
and after the berry season each sum
mer, when he had purchased a pair of
shoes to wear in the winter to school,
a necessity he dispensed with in the
summer, he put the rest in the bank.
He was allowed to keep the money in
his possession, but once it got into the
hank it was never allowed to come out.
But this sum seemed great wealth to
the little man. He wanted it to start
Til-la on her life work, but. somehow
lie could not quite justify his con
science to it. . .
Perhaps liis dreams contributed in no
small way to his final decision, for be
saw his beloved Tilda performing all
il,e various feats advertised m the
event show. When he waked, he sprang
f iu t of bed with all his boyish eager
ness to see the show go by. The cages
were all closed and the wonders hid
den from view, but it all seemed reah
Tilda was up before him- The gt^
wagons had not begun to pass.
i me stream of Trescott youth was
wending its way toward the upper vil-
'lage by Cold Stream curve to meet the
caravan.
They followed far hind, iheir arms
encircling each other, r’ orbed in a
discussion of Tilda's great future.
“I think you jest orter go, Tilda,”
Jaeky declared, with solemn earnest
ness.
“Oh. I'm so glad, Jaeky. that you
approve, for I shouldn't want tor do
anything ag'in ydur wishes, but I’m
jest goin' ter. somehow.'’
j "Got any money?”
! “Naw. I liain't, hut 4'll get it some-
; how.”
j “Take this.” And Jaeky shyly held
out his hand, palm down.
“Why, .Tacky Vinton!” exclaimed the
delighted Tilda. “If you ain't the best
j feller tliet ever lived! Now I'm fixed!”
j "But you mustn’t ever tell on me.”
j “No, .Tacky, never. But whaT'H your
| ma do when she finds out? She keeps
| ’count o’ all you earn, mean thing!”
i “But she need not know till fall. By
j tliet time, Tilda, you'll he great!”
| Jaeky’s eyes fairly glistened at the
thought.
Tilda gazed at the massive vehicles
with an air of proprietorship, and in a
fit of venturesomeuess she aroused the
envy of those about her by patting
the elephant’s huge leg as if it were
only her pet dog.
That afternoon .Tacky stole quietly
from the dinner table, having tasted
hardly a morsel. The show was to be
gin at 2:30 o’clock, so Tilda had de
cided to make her escape directly after
dinner. .Tacky was to meet her about
a mile down the road. .Tacky's father
had told him to remain at home that
afternoon “ter rake after the cart.”
Tilda and Jaeky walked same time
without saying much. The resourceful
Matilda, who had never found her
powers of conversation circumscribed
before, suddenly found it a most diffi
cult matter to utter a sentence. Jaeky
was so affected that he couldn’t even
look Tilda’s way.
At last .Tacky, in view of certain
kinds of chastisements that he had re
ceived at various times during his life,
broke the stillness.
“I’ve got ter go hack. Tilda.” Then
he discovered a tear in Tilda’s eyes and
added, “Oh, Tilda, I wouldn't, arter
all”—
“I will, too. .Tacky Hopkins! I ain't
one o’ the kind tliet goes back on my
self any rnore’n I do on anybody else.
But. oh, Jaeky, you will be true, won’t
you ?”
Now, there had never been any very
definite conversation on matters con
cerning love between this erring pair.
Accordingly Tilda’s remark sounded
grand and grown up, and he solemnly
answered:
“Yes, I will. Tilda; hope ter die, I
will!”
Then Tilda almost picked him off the
ground and kissed him square on the
lips. It was the first time that opera
tion had been performed on Jaeky ex
cept in kissing games. Its effect was
to make him turn directly around and
run as fast as his little legs could car
ry him, and the tears were running
down his cheeks.
The sensation of that kiss was not
even dulled by the chastisement which
followed a few minutes later owing to
his absence from the liayfield. Nor
was it even forgotten, many years aft-
ter, when Jaeky became a man.
It was not very long before Jaeky
heard, with terrifying interest, the fa
miliar voice of Alatilda’s mother.
“Tilda! Tilda! Where be you, Til
da ?”
Then she came over into the field, for
where Jaeky was it was generally safe
to conclude that Tilda might he discov
ered also. Her bony finger motioned
Jaeky toward her, and he came, trem
bling and fearful.
“Have you seen Tilda anywheres
round here? ’ she asked.
“No’m.” Jaeky answered, with his
tongue in his cheek. That question
was an easy one to answer, hut life
was fast becoming very terrible to him.
Airs. Vinton passed on. This was the
beginning of an agitation which swept
over the whole community in a grand
crescendo until it occupied the atten
tion of three adjoining townships. For
two days Jaeky kept out of sight as
much as possible and passed his nights
in sleeplessness and weeping. The
pressure against his conscience was be
coming harder and harder, while the
difficulties of confession were growing
greater.
He observed that if lie had come for
ward with his information he might
have maintained the peace of a hun
dred farms. As it was. the fields were
deserted, and Jaeky concluded that his
reckoning would he something awful.
Added to all this was an awful lone
some feeling which he rightly attrib
uted to the absence of Tilda.
His little face was a picture of grief
and escaped no one, hut it was set
down to the fact that he loved Tilda,
or, as the neighbors put it: “Poor little
Jaeky! He did set great store by Til
da.” So they forbore mentioning the
girl in his presence.
But at last it came out. Mrs. Hop
kins had taken to putting him to bed,
“for the little man is that meachin’,”
she said. So after his prayers had been
said he turned himself to the wall in
-an agony of tears and blurted out:
“Tilda's ruuned away ter the circus!”
Airs. Hopkins comprehended it all in
a minute. Site did not wait to give
Jaeky his deserts and left him in a
storm of tears, in which he sobbed
himself to sleep.
It was hard for the little fellow to
hold up his head during the next few
days. "That Hopkins hoy” became
quite as much a part of the history of
the town of Trescott as Tilda herself.
The world looked very solemn to
Jaeky, hut it was positively frightful
when the truth became known to him.
It. seemed that the circus had a
novel way of escaping creditors, which
involved an entire change of name at
stated periods. This generally happen
ed when it. moved from one state to
another. So AleAIpiue's Combined Co
lossal Hippodrome and Consummation
of Wonders emerged when it crossed
the Connecticut river into Vermont as
Fontaine’s Equine Aggregation and
Grand Galaxy of Marvels.
The circus people said they had
nothing whatever to do with AIcAI-
pine’s show,- which was true as far as
their hills went, and they knew noth
ing of such a person as Tilda.
The months grew and the year ended.
Jaeky was growing taller and soberer.
This sad episode in his life fcad left a
deep impression, and then one by one

When the enraptured Tilda had
feasted her heart on the wonderful
feats of the bareback riders and tra
peze performers, site was more con
vinced than ever that' she was “made

over she asked to see “the man tliet

The manager was also in a contented

“Did George write to you every day
while he was traveling around?”
“Yes, every day.”
“What regularity!”
“Yes. but I discovered that every one
of the letters was written here in his
office before lie started, and all he had
to do was to drop one in the postoffice
wherever he chanced to be.”
“And how did-you find that out?”
“The ‘e’ in his office typewriter is
I broken.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
