new acts of a minor character, and indulged in pranks like a lot
of
schoolboys at recess time.

As they were passing down along the outside of the big top,
Phil noticed several laborers belonging to the show sitting
against the side wall sunning themselves. He observed that one
of the men was eyeing Teddy and himself with rather more than
ordinary interest.

Phil did not give it a second thought, however, until suddenly
Teddy gave his arm a violent pinch.

"What is it?"

"See those fellows sitting there?"

"Yes. What of it?"

"One of them is the fellow who ducked me under the water tank
back at Germantown."

"You don't say? Which one?"

"Fellow with the red hair. I heard them call him Larry as I
passed, or I might not have noticed him particularly. His hair
is redder than Rod Palmer's. I should think it would set him
on fire."

"It certainly would seem so."
