E. Johnson ^ 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.
