"Hello, who are you?" demanded one of the men, as Phil and Teddy
stepped in through the rear door of the coach.

"Good evening, boys," greeted Phil easily.

All eyes were turned on the newcomers.

"Howdy, fellows," said Teddy good-naturedly.
"Fine, large evening."

Everybody laughed.

"Are you the boys who joined out today, from back with the show?"
asked Conley.

"Yes. Let me introduce myself. I am Phil Forrest and this, my
companion, is Teddy Tucker. We're green as grass, and we shall
have to impose upon your good nature to set us straight."

The Circus Boys had won the good opinion of the men of Car Three
at the outset.

"That's the talk," agreed Billy. "Line up here and I'll
introduce you to the bunch. The skinny fellow over there by
the boiler is Chief Rain-in-the-Face. The one next to him
is Slivers. The freakish looking gentleman standing at my
right is Krao, the Missing Link. On my left is Baby Egawa--"

"Otherwise known as Rosie the Pig," added a voice.
