CHAPTER XVI--A BATTLE OF WITS When money made a big noise. The canary car manager gets an awful jolt. "Be on your way, my little man," urges Phil sweetly. "Turn out every man in town! Run as if the Rhino of the Sparling Circus were after you!" CHAPTER XVII--THE CHARGE OF THE PASTE BRIGADE The battle is on in earnest. Trouble is on the air. "Paste them, fellows!" howls Teddy. "Look out! The police are coming!" "I arrest you for disturbing the peace!" Phil faces the officers of the law boldly and wins for his show. CHAPTER XVIII--THE MISSING SHOW CARS Congratulations from the show's owner. Four rival advance cars go out on one train. Teddy sends the enemy's cars adrift. Sleeping a sleep of innocence. Phil is puzzled over the mystery of the missing cars. Teddy's expression arouses the suspicion of his chum. CHAPTER XIX--PHIL'S DARING PLAN Teddy Tucker admits his guilt. Forrest reads "Spotted Horse" a severe lecture. "Is the sermon over?" A lesson that bore fruit for a day or so. Pat "smells a rat." "She's moving! We're off!" The Circus Boys adrift on a runaway car. |
