THIS HAS HAPPENED The summer she is 16, SALLY FORD, ward of the State orphanage for twelve years, is “farmed out” to CLEM CARSON. She mets DAVID NASH, athlete and student, who is working on the farm for the summer. Carson makes remarks about David’s friendship with Sally and the student strikes him a crushing blow. Sally and David flee and join a carnival. David as cook’s helper and Sally in a sideshow disguised as “Princess Lalla,” crystal gazer. NITA, Hula dancer, who is infatuated with David, makes life miserable for Sally, threatening to expose her to the police. In Capital City, where Sally spent so many years in the orphanage, she is recognized when the little orphans troop in. GUS, the barker, comes to her rescue and diverts attention. Sally is fascinated with the beautiful “Lady Bountiful,” hostess to the children. She is surprised to see her stop and talk with a well-dressed eastern man, who earlier in the afternoon has teasingly read Sally’s fortune in the crystal and asked her to have supper with him. She hears them discuss New York and call each other Enid and Van. A terrible storm comes up and when the tent falls, Sally finds herself supported in the arms of the easterner. He tells her he knows her identity. When they are rescued Sally discovers that David and Nita are missing. Later in the night when BY'BEE finds his safe has been robbed, suspicion falls on the missing pair, and the manager is about to call in the police when Sally begs him to wait. The troupers beg Bybee not to call police, to wait and see if David will return. When someone suggests David is probably hurt or killed, Sally faints. When she comes to she goes alone out into the darkness to find him. As day breaks she sees him staggering toward her over a little hill. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXI BEFORE she reached him, Sally almost fainted with horror, for in the pale light of the dawn she saw that David’s shirt about his left shoulder was soaked with blood. But his uninjured right arm was stretched out in urgent invitation, and his voice was hailing her gaily, in spite of his terrible weakness and fatigue. “Dear little Sally!” he cried huskily, as his right arm swept her

against his breast. “Why aren’t you in bed, darling? But I’m glad you’re not! I’ve been able to keep plodding on in the hope of seeing you. Did you think I’d run away and left you? Poor little Sally!” he crooned over her, for she was crying, her frantic hands playing over his face, her eyes devouring him through her tears. “But you’re hurt, David!” she moaned. “I knew you were hurt! I told them so! I was looking for you. I knew you hadn’t run away.” “And she made us believe you hadn’t, too,” Pop Bybee panted, having reached them on a run, dragging his wife behind him. “What happened, Dave boy? Had a mix-up with the dirty crooks, did you?” “Winfield Bybee, you are a fool!” Mrs. Bybee gasped, breahtless from running. “Let the poor boy get his breath first. Here! Put your arm about him and let him lean on you. Sally, you run back to the train and get help. This boy’s all done up and he’s going to have that shoulder dressed before he's pestered to death with questions.” “I can walk.” David panted, his breath whistling across his ashen lips. “I don’t want Sally out of my sight. I —would —give up—then. Nothing much —the matter. Just a —bullet —in my shoulder. Be all right—in a day—or two.” “Please don’t try to talk darling,” Sally begged, rubbjng her cheek softly against his right hand and wetting it with tears. “Lean on me and take it easy,” Pop Bybee urged, his voice husky with unashamed emotion. “And don’t talk any more till we get you into a berth. God! But I’m glad to see you, Dave boy! I'd made up my mind I’d never trust another man if you'd thrown me down. But Sally didn’t doubt you a minute. Kept me from telling the police that you’d been with the show and had disappeared with the crooks.” “Thanks,” David grasped, leaning heavily on the showman. “I was scared sick—the police—had found Sally. Knew there was—bound to be—an awful row.” He fainted then, his splendid young boidy crumpling suddenly to the cinders of the railroad track. Somehow the three of them managed to get him to the show train and into the Bybees’ stateroom, where Gus, the barker, who had graduated from medical school before the germ of wanderlust had infected him, dressed the wounded shoulder. “The bullet went clear through the fleshy part of the arm at the shoulder,” Gus told them, as he washed his hands in the stateroom's basin. “No bones touched at all. Just a flesh wound. Os course he’s lost a lot of blood and he’ll be pretty shaky for a few days, but no real harm done. You can turn off the faucet, Sally. Save them tears for a big tragedy—like ground glass in your cold cream, or something like that. Want a real doctor to give that shoulder the nnce-over Pop?” he asked, turning

to Bybee, who had not left David’s side. It was David, opening his eyes dazedly just then, Who answered: “No other doctor, please. I’m a fugitive from justice, remember. If I could have some coffee now I think I could tell you what happened, Mr. Bybee.” A dozen eager voices outside the stateroom door offered to get the coffee from the privilege car, and within a few minutes Sally was kneeling before David, holding a cup of steaming black coffee to his Ups. As many of the carnival family as could crowd into the small space of the car aisle pressed against the open door of the stateroom to hear his story. Jan, the Holland giant, who was too tall to stand upright in the car, was invited into the stateroom, where he sat between Pop Bybee and Mrs. Bybee, “Pitty Sing” in the crok of one cf his arms, Noko, the Hawaiiin midget, in the other. Sally still knelt beside David, holding his right hand tightly in both of hers and laying her lips upon it when his story moved her unbearably. “I suppose Mrs. Bybee has told you that I was leaving the show train to go to the carnival grounds to see if anything had happened to Sally. I’d have gone sooner, but the storm was so violent that I knew I’d not have a chance to get there. Mrs. Bybee said she was going to the lot and would look after Sally for me, but she wanted me to stay on the tram, or near it, to patrol it. She didn’t tell me there was a lot of money in her stateroom, or I’d have stationed myself in there.” “You see,” Sally interrupted eagerly. “I told you 1 hadn't said a word to him about the safe.” “Safe” David glanced down at her, puzzled. “So this Steve crook cracked a safe to get the money, did he I didn’t know—didn’t have time to find out.” “And I told you it was a man named Steve!” Sally reminded them joyously, raising David's cold hand to her lips. “They thought I was making it all up, Dave, but they believed me after a while.” “I suppose Sally has told you that we saw Nita and some man walking in the moonlight that last night we were in Stanton,’ David addressed Pope Bybee. “We heard her call him Steve, and say something about what she’d do to him if he double crossed her. I should have told you then, Mr. Bybee, but I didn’t have an idea Nita was planning to rob the outfit, and anyway—" he blushed, his eyes twinkling fondly at Sally—“by morning I’d forgotten all about it. I couldn’t think of anything but—but Sally. You see, we’d just told each other that night that—that —well, sir, that we loved each other and—” “Anybody else in the whole outfit could have told you that,” Bybee chuckled. “It’s all right, Dave. Carnival folks usually mind their own business and spend damn little time toting tales.”

“I’m glad you’re not blaming me,” David said gratefully. “Well, sir, I was walking up and down the tracks, just wild to get away and see if anything had happened to Sally, when suddenly I heard a soft thud, like somebody jumping to the ground on the other side of the train. I crossed over as quick as I could, but by that time they were running down the side of the train pretty far ahead of me. It was Nita and a man. They must have been hidden on the train, waiting their chance, when the storm broke—were there when Mrs. Bybee left. “I suppose they hadn’t counted on any such luck; had probably intended to overpower her before you got back, sir, and the storm saved them the trouble.” “I’d have given them a run for the money,” Mrs. Bybee retorted grimly, her skinny old hand knotting into a menacing fist. “That’s just what I did,” David grinned rather whitely at her. “I yelled at them to stop, because I had an idea they’d been up to something, since they’d jumped off this car, and I knew Nita had no business on the train, since all you people were sleeping on the lot. “They were carrying a couple of suicases that looked suspiciously heavy to me. It flashed over me that Mrs. Bybee, being treasurer of the outfit, must have left a lot of money in hr stateroom, and that Nita and this Steve chap had been planning to rob her when Sally and I heard them talking the other night. I started after them, still yelling for the to stop, and Steve turned and fired at me. He missed me, lucky for me, and I kept right on. “About a hundred yards beyond the end of the train they climbed into a car that was parked on the road that runs alongside the tracks and after telling me good-by with another bullet that missed me, too, Steve had the car started. I was about to give up and start toward Capital City to notify the police when I noticed there was a handcar on the tracks, just where this spur joins the main line. “I threw the switch and in a minute I had the handcar on the main line and was pumping along after them. The State road parallels the railroad track for five or six miles, you know, and X could make nearly as good time in my handcar as they could in their flivver, for it’s a down grade nearly all the way.” He paused, his eyes closing wearily as if every muscle in his body ached with the memory of that terrible ride in the dead of night. “Better rest awhile. Dave,” Pop Bybee suggested gently, bending over the boy to wipe the cold drops of sweat from his forehead. “No, I’ll get it over with,” David protested weakly. “There’s not much more to tell. They couldn’t see me—had no idea t was trailing them in the handcar. But I could keep them in sight because of their headlights. I guess they’d have got away, though, if a freight train hadn't come along just then and

blocked the road. They were just reaching the grade crossing where the State road cuts the railroad tracks when this freight came charging down on us—” “But you, David!” Sally shuddered, bowing her head on his hand, the fingers of which curled upward weakly to cup her face. “You were on the track. Did the train hit you Oh!” “Os course not!” David grinned at her. “I’m here, and I wouldn’t have been if the engine had hit the handcar when I was on it. But I’m afraid the railroad company is minus one handcar this morning. The cowcatcher of the freight engine scooped it up and tossed it aside as if it had been a baby’s gocart, but I’d already jumped and was tumbling down the bank into a nice bed of wildflowers. “Pretty wet after the storm, so I didn’t go to sleep. I’d jumped to tne other sid.i of the tracks and was hidden from Steve’s car while the freight train rolled on. They didn’t stop to hold a post-mortem over the handcar. Probably figured a tramp had been bumming a free ride on it and had got his, and good enough for him. “When the train had passed I was waiting by the road for Steve’s car. I guess he was pretty badly surprised when I hopped upon the running board and grabbed the steering wheel and swerved the car into a ditch, nearly turning it over. I don’t remember much of what happened then, what with Nita screeching and Steve swearing and popping his gun at me. But somehow I managed to get his revolver —didn’t know I’d been shot at first —and dragged him out of the car. “It must have been a pretty good fight, for Nita decided to beat it before it was finished. She started off with one of the suitcases but it was too heavy and she dropped it in the road and lit out. If Nita could dance as well as she can run,” David interrupted himself to grin at Bybee, “she’d be a real loss to the outfit.” “Well, Dave, even if Steve did get away with the money, my hat’s

off to you, boy,” and he reached for the hand which Sally was still cuddling jealously. “Who’s telling this?” David demanded, with just a touch of boyish bravado, which made Sally love him better than ever. “He didn’t get away. I’m afraid he won’t be good for much for a long time. Nita should have stayed to look after him.” “The money, Dave!” Mrs. Bybee screamed. “You didn’t save the money, did you, Dave? Where are you, Winfield Bybee? I’m giving you fair warning! If he saved that money, I'm going to faint dead away!” (To Be Continued)
