f THIS HAS HAPPENED The summsr she is 16. SALLY FORD leaves the. State orphanage, ths only home she knows from the time she was four, to be “Firmed out” to CLEM CARSON, prosperous farmer. At the farm *he finds a friend in DAVID NASH, student and athlete. Carson is furious because David prefers Sally to PEARL, his daughter. When he makes insulting remarks about Sally, David sends him crashing io the ground with one terrific blow. David and Sally run away and join a carnival, David as cook’s helper and Sally as “Princess I.alia,” crystal gazer. The midget. “PITTY SING.” likes Sally and warns her to beware of NITA, the Huls dancer, who is infatuated with David. That night in the dress tent Nita tells Sally she knows who she is. and that she is eluding the police and she threatens to inform the police. Sally •who has not before today thought of David as a sweetheart, suddenly flare up and tells Nita lie is hers as long as he wants to be. The midget who feigns sleep, pipes up shrilly at this point, and ■threatens to tell Bybcc of Nila’s in famous plot. This hushes Nila's mouth, hut Sally is badly frigutened. JvOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XIX THE next morning—the carnival's second and last day in Stanton—Sally overslept. She did mot awaken until a tiny hand tugged impatiently at her hair. Her dark blue eyes flew wide in startled surprise, then recognition of her surroundings and of “Pitty Sing,” the piidget, dawned in them slowly. ‘‘You look so pretty asleep that I ihated to awaken you,” the midget told her. “But it’s getting late, and I want my breakfast. I’m dressed.” The little woman wore a comically Snature-looking dress of blue linen, made doll-size, by a pattern which would have suited a woman of 40. Sally impulsively took the tiny face between her hands and laid her lips jfor an instant against the softly

wrinkled cheek. Then she sprang out of bed, careful not to “joggle” the midget, who had been so emphatic about her distaste for being joggled. “There’s a bucket of water and a tin basin,” Miss Tanner told her brusquely, to hide the pleasure which Sally’s caress had given her. “All the other girls have gone to the cook tent, so you can dress in peace.” “I didn’t thank you properly last night for taking my part against Nita,” Sally said shyly, as she hastily drew on her stockings. “But I do thank you, Betty, with all my heart. I was so frightened—for David—”

“What I said to Nita will hold her ; for awhile,” Betty Tanner nodded with satisfaction. “But I don't trust her. She'll do something underhand if she thinks she can get away with it. But don't worry. Once the carnival gets out of this State, you and your David will be pretty safe. I don’t think the police will bother abount extradition, even if Nita should tip them off. In the meantime, I'll break the first law of carnival and try to learn something of Nita's past. I've seen her turn pale more than once when a detective or a policeman loomed up unexpectecflyand seemed to be giving her the once-over. Oh, dear, I'm getting to be as slangy as any of the girls,” she mourned. After Sally had splashed in the tin basin and had combed and braided her hair, she hesitated for a long minute over the two new dresses that had mysteriously found their way into the equally myster-

ious new trunk. She caught herself up at the thought. Os course they were not mysterious! “Pop” and Mrs. Bybee had provided them, out of the kindness of their hearts. Were they always so kind to the carnival’s new recruits? Gratitude welled up in her impressionable young heart; overflowed her lips in song, as she dressed herself in the little white voile, splashed with tiny blue and yellow wild flowers. Last night's breeze had brought with it a light, cooling shower, and still lingered under the hot caress of the June sun. Sally sang, at Betty’s request, as she sped across vacant lots to the show train resting engineless on a spur track. At the sound of her fresh, young voice, caroling an old song of summertime and love, David Nash thrust his head out of the little high window in the box of a kitchen at the end of the dining car, and waved an egg-turner at her, lips and teeth and eyes flashing gay greetings to her. “Better tell your David how Nita's been carrying on,” the midget piped from Sally’s shoulder. Song fled from Sally's throat and heart. “No,” she shook he head. She couldn't be a tattle-tale. If the orphanage had taught her nothing else it had taught her not to be a tale-bearer. Besides, to talk of Nita and her threats would make it necessary to tell David all that Nita had said, and at the 'bought Sally's cheeks went scarlet. It might kill his friendship for her to let him know that others—apparently all the carnival folk had labeled that friendship “love.” Why couldn't they let her and David alone? Whysnatch up this beautiful thing, this precious friendship, and mr.ul it about, sticking labels all over it until it was ruined? She had placed the midget ir her own little high chair at her own particular table in the privilege car and was hurrying down the car bound for the cook tent and her own b-eakfast when Winfield Bybee and his wife entered. Mrs. Bybee was dressed as if for a Journey of importance. Winfield Bybee boomed out a greeting to Sally, tilting his head to peer into her smiling blue eyes “All dolled up and looking pretty enough to eat,” he chuckled. "Ain’t that anew dress?” “Oh, yes, and it fits perfectly,” Sally glowed. “Thanks so very much for the trunk and the dresses, Mrs. Bybee,” she added, tactfully addressing the showman’s wife. “I—l 11 pay vou back out of my salary as I make it—” “What are you talking about?” Mrs. Bybee demanded sternly, her eyes flashing from Sally's flushed face to her husband's. “I never bought you any dresses or a trunk. Now, you looka here, Winfield Bybee! I’m a woman of few words, and of a long-suffering disposition, but even a saint knows when she's got a stomachful! I swallowed your mealy-mouthed palaverin’ about this poor little orphan, but if you're sneaking around and buying her presents behind my back. I’ll turn her right over to the State and not lose a wink of sleep, and let me tell you this Winfield Bybee—” Her words were a rushing torrent, heated to the boiling point by jealousy and suspicion.

Sally tried to speak, to interrupt, 1 her, but she might as well have tried to stop Niagara. Under the force of the torrent Sally at last bowed her head, shrinking against the wall of the car, the very picture of detected guilt. The carnival owner gasped and waved his arms helplessly, tried to pat his wife's hands and had his own slapped viciously for his pains. When at last Mrs. Bybee paused for breath, and to mop her perspiring face with her handkerchief. Bybee managed to get in his defense, doggedly, his bluster wilted under his wife’s tongue lashing: “You're crazy, Emma! I didn’t buy her any presents. I nevti saw that dress before in my life. I don't know what you or she’s talking about. I didn't buy her anything! I—oh, good Lord!” He tried to put his arms about his wife, his iace so struttlcd with blood that Sally felt a faint wonder, through her misery, that apoplexy did not strike him down. "What's the matter, Sally?” David came striding out of the kitchen, a butcher knife in one hand and a slab of breakfast bacon in the other. “I don’t know, David,” she whispered forlornly. “I—l was just thanking Mrs. Bybee for this dress and another one and a trunk I found in the dress tent with my name on it—‘Princess Lalla’—” she stammered over the name—“and Mrs. Bybec says she didn't give them to me.” “He thought he’d put something over on me. and me all dressed up like a missionary to go look lor her precious mother. I guess her mother wasn't any better than she should have been and this little softsoap artist takes after her," Mrs. Bybee broke in stridently, but her angry eyes lost something of their conviction under David's level gaze. “I bought the things for Sally, MrsBybee,” he said quietly. “I should have told her. or put my card in. Unfortunately I didn't have one with me,” he added with a boyish grin. “Oh!” Anger spurted out cf Mrs. Bybee's jealous heart like air let out of a balloon. “Reckon I’m just an old fool! God knows I don't see why I should care what this old woman-chaser of a husband of mine does, but —I do! If you're ever in love, Sally, you'll undci stand a foolish old woman a little better. Now, young man, you take that murderous looking knife and that bacon back into the kitchen and scramble a couple of eggs for me.

And a guess you can give Fop a rasher of that bacon, even if it is against the doctor's orders.” And the showman, beaming again and throwing “Good mornings” right and left, marched down the aisle, his arm triumphantly about his repentant wife's shoulders. Sally watched them for a moment, a lovely light of tenderness and understanding playing over her sensitive face. Then she turned to David, who had not yet obeyed Mrs. Bybce's command. They smiled into each other’s eyes, shyly, and the flush that made Sally’s face rosy was reflected in the boy's tanned checks.
