"Why, bless my soul!" he exclaimed. "It's the orphan boy who helped
carry water for the elephants this morning!"

"Robert, it's Gary!" again cried the beautiful lady in the palanquin on
the elephant's back.

Jerry looked up at her and found her weeping. He wondered why she was
crying and who Gary might be.

"The other elephants are getting restless," said Mr. Burrows. "Get the
boy down, Bowe, and take him with you to the dressing rooms. The act

Whiteface went up to the elephant and began talking to her gently,
patting her shoulder. Her keeper approached and ordered her to put Jerry
down.

"Down, Sult Anna, down!" cried Jerry.

by the elephant in the arms of Whiteface.

"Who are you?" asked the clown of Jerry, looking long into his eyes.

"He's Jerry Elbow," said Danny who, with Chris, had edged in close to
the little crowd surrounding the elephant. "He's a orfum and lives with
us."

"When did his parents die?"
