"That's a cracking good song," said a voice from the rear, and Joe turned to grin a greeting to Uncle Dan Dayton. "Well, boy, you were a day or two late, but it's all right. How do you like the song?" "Oh gee!" Joe's smile finished Uncle Dan stuffed the sentence. his hands Into the diagonal pock- "Seem to be getting along "Seems to be getting along pretty well with it.

A certain "I I don't know." ngly tinge of grayness had made Its appearance about Joe's lips. Realization had returned. Suddenly he wondered what ttiese people would do if he should suddenly blurt forth the fact that he was a fugitive from a charge of murder. "I don't know about doing the act tonight," he said. "I'd planned to write a lot of letters and get sort of cleaned up on various things." Uncle Dan laughed, and waved the objection aside. "Just got stage fright, that's all," and at a call from a lot boss, moved away.

But he could see her, a tieetiug glimpse, he could watch her approach him, and watch rer pass; he could follow her as far aa eyes could see, and then, when she passed from bis vision he could to her, he could whissay good-hper so that no one but himself would know. If he could only see her again, he had told himself, the future might be easier. Terhaps she would be smiling when she passed him. That was why he now stood on the curbing in Frederick, thrilling strangely to the approaching music of the circus band. Steam had appeared far away, floating over the asphalt-colorehulks of heaving forms; the elephants were in the distance and behind them the calliope, denoting the end of the parade. Anxiety struck Joe Barry, that somehow he had missed her. Suddenly forgetful, he stepped into the street for a better view, only to draw back with something of Impatience as a mflrshal rode along tine line of spectators to hold them to their places. Suddenly he gasped. A girl, trim in riding clothes, was smiling down at him, her hand extended. "I felt sure you'd come today !" Sue Dayton said and leaned far from her saddle to clasp the suddenly cold hand he had raised to her. "I told Uncle Dan you'd be here today!" Then, with a swift movement, she had swung out of the saddle. Joe Barry dazedly knew that he was laughing boyishly and telling some hastily conceived untruth about a delay ; beyond that he forgot all except that he was talking to her. But the crowd was milling now. Sue Dayton swung her horse about quickly, as if to mount. "I saw you from half down the block," she laughed. "Queer, wasn't It? You see, I never go In parade except this way." She glanced along the line of march. "I've got to get onl Uncle Dan's not feeling well today I've got to watch his section, too. You'll come back right after my act?" She caught her stirrup and swung to the saddle and turned to wave to him as the horse trotted on in the wake of the parade. Joe Barry only stood there, a lone figure now against the curbing. In that vague, tangled conversation in which Joe had asked and answered questions, he had made a promise. Yes, he had told her, he'd come back to her tent, right after she had finished her act in the sawdust ring I It meant more hours of weakness and strength, at last it meant There could be no capitulation. harm in that; the damage had already been done. To talk to her again, to look upon her In the graceful beauty of silk and tulle, to stand with her by the little dressing tent where first he had met her; there must be no more than that. The throngs of the menagerie found Joe Barry before the cages. The Instant Sue Dayton's act was over, he was out of his seat and hurrying for the marquee that he might round the tangled guy ropes of the big top, to her dressing tent As he approached her, she waved excitedly to him and then turned for a moment within the tent, to make her exit as hurriedly, a professional copy of sheet music in her hands. , "I wonder If you've hoard It?" she asked, giving him the music. "It's Just out; you'd think It was written especially for us, wouldn't you?" too. And then tlie mounting roar of applause, for her and for him at lust he vaguely realized that they were outside and that she hud leaped from the back of her horse to grasp li I in by the arms with strong, excited lingers. "Oh, you were wonderful !" she exclaimed. . And he could only talk of her excellence, and ask her why he shouldn't do a thing well when she was helping him. Then there was ever; she must never y d ut." Dayton waited until her uncle had reached the big top. "If those other things can wait," she said seriously, "it'd do us all a lot of good." "We'd really Just be putting on a rehearsal, wouldn't we?" asked Joe. "Yes, that's it Coroe on!" She caught his arm. "You can learn that song in no time. Why, you almost know it now !" There was considerable activity about Slats Beeton's trunk in Uncle Clown alley that night. Dan, as equestrian director, wandered in and out, carrying over his arm a Pierrot suit which he fitted to Joe Barry, yanked away from him, and grumbling, returned to the wardrobe woman for more alSue Dayton came to terations. the outer edge of the side wall and called through, wanting to know if Joe needed the song to run over. Cathouse Green, menagerie superintendent and animal trainer, on a trunk, heavily absorbed sat with a cud of tobacco and thoughts of the value of a new act to the as circus. Joe Joe Bradley, they knew him was being made ready for his entrance to the ring. Sue -- , j CHAPTER VI WAS best Joe had figured. ITSomehow, lies had refused to come to his Hps. It could not go on, as he had told himself. It must not go on tonight after the show, he must fade out of this longed-fo- r life forever. A tortured brain had seized upon that, arguing, showing reasons, prompting him to believe that he was doing a service by reThis maining. Just for tonight as Sue had was Just a try-ousaid, just a demonstration to see how an idea would work. After that It wouldn't make any difference who played and sang to her, so far as the circus was concerned. And If he could only make It successful and point the way, to what Sue and Uncle Dan wanted, that would be something to carry away with him when, after the show was loaded, he faded Into the night r A passed. A groom stuck his hend Into the side wall. "The perch act's on. That new clown ready? Got the horses at the back door."

"Take it down to Car One Hundred and One. That's where you'll sleep. Ask for Bill, the porter." Then Uncle Dan grinned. "Sue's waiting for you says you might not know the way to tlie cars." "Yes, sir." Still he was allowing himself to drift, these were treasured minutes which went so swiftly, each At begging that another follow. last he was outside, upon the moon-swelot and beside her. Sue was dressed now as he first had seen her. "Going down to the cars?" she asked. "I thought maybe I'd better show you the way you might not know circus signals." Joe had taken her arm, as if to guide her over the roughness of the lot; the warmth of her flesh had crept through to the palm of his hand and was thrilling onward to his heart The girl did not draw away. Onward they went, past the place where her little tent had been. The circus was dismantling in a dozen places. For the first time, Joe really understood its magic, the speed 'and system by which It worked. No one seemed to hurry, no one ran shouting orders, no one gave an indication of excitement; yet it was everywhere. Onward Sue and Joe went in that silence which is so often eloSometimes the girl broke quence. it by a few bars of her song ; often she only walked beside him in the d friendcontentment of ship; Joe's hand had moved from its awkward position at her elbow. Hisirm was linked with hers now. At last, as a Jumbled glare showed from a short distance ahead, she chuckled and reverted to a previous philosophy. "Isn't It queer?" she a eked. "So many people come to the circus feeling sorry for us, because we're show folk and wanderers. Really! Actually, Joe " she used the name in casual friendliness "I've seen them peek in the cookhouse. Just to see If we eat like other peopla" They were at the loading runs now, where a tangle of men and horses and paraphernalia showed Itself in the gleam of the carbides. "Shall we go to the grease Joint?" "The which?" "Oh, it isn't as bad as it sounds. That's the circus name for the lunch counter. Smoky Todd runs new-foun- it" Through the maze of activity they went and to sandwiches and coffee. At last Sue Dayton turned toward the dimly outlined sleeping cars. "I guess you're tired," she said. Joe Barry raised a hand across wenry eyes. "Yes I am a little tired," he confessed. "So nm L The excitement and everything.

Wliat would she think tomorrow, when she came on the lot to II ml him gone? Without explanation : Without a word of gratitude for all she and Uncle Dan had done for him. Suddenly he wondered If a part of his supposed sacrifice had not been egoism, after all. Something began to whisper swiftly within his brain. It wasn't anything to them what he had been and what he had done so long as they didn't know. As long as he was faithful to them and repaid them for their kindness by giving everything that was In him, what difference did it make? He had been thinking about himself all this time, not about her and that act she had set her heart on. Besides, on a circus like this, moving from town to town, nobody might ever know. Maybe If he stayed here something would turn up that would let him prove his Innocence that was It! He wasn't taking advantage of them by staying. Maybe it was the thing to do, to hide out and keep his brain working to figure out Just how that trick had been worked on him, and who had done It Besides, he was Innocent, wasn't he?

An agent of the federal food and drug administration visited a wholesale poultry house and found that dressed chickens were being given hypodermic injections of water. A hose terminating in a follow needle was used. Eocr bird received several ounces of water, which was gradually absorbed. This Increased the weight and made the scrawny bird look plumper. Though federal agents could not interfere, since the chickens were not shipped interstate, state officials later seized the hose and fined the dealer. profit-makin- g Cull Out the "Boarders" It has been observed that hen "boarders" do not come down from the roost until late in the morning, and are usually the first .to go to the roost at night The heavy producer works from early in the morning until late at night to obtain the raw material required to form the egg and maintain her body condition.

"But I might learn something 1" Uncle Dan and Sue walked on then, and Uncle Dan whistled enthusiastically all morning. It was a beginning of exertions which did not end with the wearing off of the first veneer of Joe's enthusiasm. His body was of the sinewy type which reverted easily to muscle; as soon as the first soreness was over, he found a certain Joy in Uie strain of effort, to say nothing of the mental alleviation which it gave him. For this was a new world Into which he could submerge his own ; here was a life which seemed endless In its mysteries. It meant the opening of new fields, new aspirations to be followed In this beloved place of deliverance. The circus had been all of that for Joe. For the first ten days or so, there had been a certain amount of agony In his existence, the fearful, watchful attitude of one who was constantly amazed that out of these people, there was no one who should recognize him. Then, too, there had been the matter of his name, to be guarded every Instant, lest he should allow the real one to slip. Hour after hour and day upon day he had repeated It to himself as If it were a rote "Joe Bradley, I'm from Great Bend, Kan. ; Joe Bradley, I'm from Great Bend. Kan."

Performers don't have to help put up the circus." Joe grinned. "Oh, I know that But, you see, I'm new. I'd learn a lot about the circus by working this way. Besides, I'd like to." "Well, if that's the way you feel about it," answered Bill Curry with a widening of his eyes, "hop to it! Blame yourself, though, if a few of us bosses drop dead. We ain't used to having performers do much of anything but beef." An hour later, when Uncle Dan and Sue Dayton came on the lot they halted at the sight of r grimy being.

Still another factor which makes the future look brighter for the poultry Industry Is the fuct that there were fewer chicks hatched last spring than usual. This Is particularly true of early hatched chicks, so that the early fall production of eggs fell short of last year's supply, with Increases In prices.
