CIRCUS COMING TO THIS
CITY FOR ONE DAY, MAY 12
By the Installation of modern
labor saving devices and the use of
new and up-to-date equipment the
Walter I>. Main circus this season
will break all records, it is expected.
In time required to ertfct and raze its
tents. The old timer who finds pleas
ure In watching the gangs of men
drive the long stakes will rub his
eyes in astonishment at the sight of
a gasoline engine, fitted wlPh a mln
ature pile driver, sending the stakes
earthward at the speed of one a min
ute. This same machine putla them
at night saving an hour or more of
valuable time.
Gone are the old-fashioned gaso
line torches. In their place the
Main circus has introduced its own
electric lighting plant that furnishes
light not only for the "big top” but
all of the side shows-and the show
grounds as well, yet so compact is it
that the entire outfit is loaded on one
wagon. The wagon and equipment
will be on exhibition each day near
the main entrance.
To feed the 400 employes it was
found necessary to install this season
an entirely new system of cooking,
and the old army range has bean
succeeded by steam cookers and ta
bles. With them it is a simple mat
ter to prepare three meals a day
and have them ready on the dot.
By a newly patented arrangement
all of the big poles of the two larger
tents are raised at one time and big
spools unroll the canvas with a sav
ing of much time and labor.
Horses will always be a necessity
around a circus, but their work has
been lightened by the use of big
motor trucks that haul at one time
six or more of the big dens and cag
es to and from the circus grounds.
They come In especially useful when
the circus arrives late.
In fact, every device that will save
time has been insulted by the Main
Circus, and it is well worth a visit
to the show grounds on the morning
of the exhibition to see the way a
modern circus erects Its white city
and feeds its hundreds of employes.

The whistles screamed. Up 'he
grade, four engines to a plow, he
jets of steam shrilling upward,
coughing columns of smoke leaping
blackly up the mountain side.
A jarring crash that all but threw
the men of the first crews from their
feet, and the Death Trail had been
met. Then churning, snarling, roar
ing, the snow flying in cloud-llko
masses past them, the first plow bit
Its way deep Into the tremendous
mass, while sweating men. Barry
Houston among them, crammed coal
Into the open, angry fire boxes, the
sand streamed on greasy tracks—
and the cavalcade went on.
A hundred yards—the beams
knocking down the snow above and
all but covering the engines which
forced their way through.
A shout. A pull at the whistle,
screeching forth Its note of victory.
Then, the blare of the whistles was
drowned In a greater sound, a roar
that reverberated through the hills
like the bellow of a thousand thun
ders, the cracking and crashing of
trees, the splintering of great rocks
as the snows of the granite spires
above the Death Trail loosed at last
and crashed downward in an all
consuming rush of destruction. Trees
gave way before the constantly
gathering mass of white, and joined
in the downfall. Oreat boulders,
abutting rocks, slides of shale! On
It went, thundering toward the val
ley and gleaming lake, at last to
crash there; to send the ten-foot
thicknesses of ice splintering like
broken glass; to pyramid, to spray
the whole nether world with ice and
snow and scattering rock; then to
settle, a jumbled conglomerate maae
of destructiveness, robbed of Its
prey.
Ana roe men snouted, ana
■creamed and beat at one another In
their frenzy of happiness, in spite of
the fact that- the track had been
torn away from behind them as
though it never had existed, and
that they now were cut off entirely
from the rest of the world. Only
one snowshed remained, with but a
feeble bulwark of drifts before it.
Night faded. Pawn came and
then—the sun! Clear and brilliant
with the promise of spring again and
of melting snows. The fight was
over.
Morning of the second day—and
again the sunshine.
Tabernacle was in the distance,
while men and women waded
through the soggy snows to be the
first to reach the train. Eagerly
Barry searched the thronging crowd,
at last to catch sight of a gigantic
figure, his wolf-dog beside him.
"Ba'llste!” he called. ‘‘Ba'tiste!”
Great arms opened wide. A sob
came from'the throat of a giant.
'Mon Baree! Mon Baree!” It was
all he could say for a moment.
"We’ve won, B&'tiste! The Jine's
open—they’ll be running trains
through before night. And if she
keeps her promise—”
“She?” Ba'tiste atared down at
him. They had drawn away from
the rest of the excited, noisy throng.
“She? You mean—”
“Agnes. You've been taking car*
of her, haven't you? I found her—
she promised that she would tell ths
truth for me when I got back, that
she would explain the lease snd con
tract and tell Medaine that it was all
A lie. She—”
But Ba'tiste Renaud shook his
head,
"No, Baree. Eet is the too late. I
have jus' come—from there. I have
close her ayes."
CHAPTER XX
Pead! Houston saw Medaine
Robinette pass in the distance, and
his eyes followed her until she had
rounded the curve by the dead as
pens—the eyes of lost hope.
‘Without a word.” It apslled
blackness for Houston. "I—I—sup
pose you've taken charge of every
thing."
"Oul! But I have look at noth
in?—"
"I juet had something here.”
Houston fumbled in hi* pockets.
“She would want it around her
neck—”
But the sudden glare in Ba’tiste’s
eyes stopped him as he brought forth
the crucifix and its tangled chain.
The giant's hands raised. His big
lips twisted. A lunge and he had
come forward, savage, almost beast
like.
“Tou!" he bellowed. "Where you
get that? Hear me, where you get
that?”
"From her. She—"
"Then come! Come—quick with
me!” He almost dragged the young
er man'away, hurrying him toward
the sled and its broad-backed old
horse*. "We must go to the cabin,
oui—yes! Hurry—" Houston aaw
that he was trembling. "Eet is the
thing I look for—the thing I look
for!"
"Ba'tlate! What do you mean?"
"My Julienne,” came hoarsely.
"Eet i* my Julienne's!”
Already they were in the eled, the
wolf-dog perched between them, and
hurrying along the mushy road.
Two miles they went, the horses
urged to their greatest speed.
At last came the little clearing—
ana the cabin. Ba'tlate already was
within.
Houston entered and dropped be
side the older man, already dragging
forth the drawers of the bureau and
pawing excitedly fimong the trinkets
there. A watch, a ring, and a locket
with a curly strand of baby hair.
The giant sobbed.
my r ierre—eri was my rierrp;
"What’s *that?" Houston had
raised suddenly, was stating In the
direction of an old commode in the
corner. At the door the wolf-dog
sniffed and snarled. Ba'tlste, .bend
ing among the lost trinkets that once
had been his wife's, did not hear.
Houston grasped him by the shoul
der and shook him excitedly.
"Ba'tistel Ba'tlste! There's some
one hiding—over there in the cor
ner. I heard sounds—look at Gole
mar!”
‘Hiding? No. There is no one
here—no one but Ba'tlste and his
memories. No one—"
"I tell you I heard someone. The
commode moved. I knoty!"
He rose, only to suddenly veer and
fatten himself against the wall. The
yellow blase of aimless revolver lire
had spurted from the corner; then
the plunging form of a gnarled,
gangling, limping man. who rushed
past Houston to the door, swerved
there, and once more raised the re
volver. But he did not fire.
A furry, snarling thing had leap
ed at him, knocking the revolver
from his hand in its plunging ascenr.
Then a cry—a gurgling growl. Teeth
had clenched at the throat of the
man; together they rolled through
the door to the snow without, Oole
mar, his hold broken by the fall,
striving again for the death clutch,
the man screaming in sudden frantic
fear.
mm off. xne voice or the
thin-vtsaged Fred Thayer was shrill
now. "Take him off—I’ll tell you
about It—she did it—she did it!
Take him off!*
"Golemar!” Ba tiste bad appeared
In the doorway. Below the' do$
whirled in obedience to hie com
mand and edged back, teeth still
bared, eyes vigilant, waiting for the
first movement of the man on the
ground.
Houston went forward and stood
peering down at the frightened, hud
dled form of Thayer, wiping the
blood from the fang wound in his
neck.
"Tou’ll tell about what?” came
with sudden lncislvenese.
The man stared, suddenly aware
that he had spoken of a thing that
had been mentioned by neither Ba’
tiste nor Houston. His lips worked
crookedly. He tried to smile, but it
ended only in a misshapen snarl.

Prominent Western
Man Praises Tanlac
CL W. Logan, Peabody,
“Tanlac has completely restored
my health and I feel finer than in
years," was the straightforward
statement mads recently by Mr.
George W. Logan, of Peabody. Kan
sas, one of the most prominent
stock-dealers in the Middle West.
“It has not only made a new man
of me but I have actually gained
thirty-five pounds In weight and
feel as well as I ever did in my life.
I am telling all of my friends about
Tanlac but they can see for them
selves what it has dons in my case.
“When I began taking Tanlac I
was in an awfully run-down condi
tion. I was away off in weight,
felt weak and nervous all of the
time and couldn't take any interest
la my work or anythipg else, My
main trouble was indigestion. Noth
ing seemed to agree with me. At
times I would have dixar spells and
at other times my back would ache
so bad that I could hardly get up
and down In my chair. This Is just
the condition I was In when I start
ed to take this medicine. It took
just six bottles to make a well man
of me. I now have a fine appetite,
everything tastes good and my diges
tion is perfect.
"My wife was also troubled with
indigestion at times and it relieved
her the same way. Tou may publish
my statement wherever you like and
if anyone doubts it. just tell them to
see me."

Houston repeated the question com
mandlnalr.
"Whoae would you think It was'.'" I
They reached the eled and Ba tiste j
pointed to the eest.
“In there,” he ordered. '"Ba’teese
will walk. Ba'teese afraid—too
clots." And then. In silence, the trip
to town was made, at last to draw
up In front of the boarding house.
Houston called to a bystander.
"Phone the sheriff we want him.
It has to do with the Benaud mur
der.''
The loafer sprang to the street
and veered across, shouting the
news as he went, while Ba'tiste
made hurried arrangements regard
ing the silent form of the lonely
cabin. A few moments later th~
makeshift boarding-house lobby was
crowded, while Barry Houston, re
verting to the bitter lessons he had
learned during the days of his ow,i
cross-examinations, took his place. |
in front of the accused man.
“In the first place, Thayer,” he 1
commanded, “you might as well
know one thing. You're caught. The I
goods are on you."
"I don't know anything about it. ;
She told me she did it—that those
were Mrs. Benaud's things.’’
“Ah' Then you have nev" seen I
that ring, which my Julienne, she
wore on her finger. Ah. no?"
Thus the battle progressed. Ba -
tiste storming, the frowning, sullen
captive in the chair replying in I
monosyllable*, or refuting to answer
at all.
The afternoon grew old. The
sheriff arrived—and still the contest
went on. Then, with a sudden break !
of reserve, Thayer leaned forward
and rubbed his gnarled hands, one i
against the other.
"All right!” he snapped. “Have it
your way. No use in trying to lay I
it on the woman—you could prose !
an alibi for her. / You're right. I
killed them both.-'
