"I may be a poor apology as a billposter, but as a diplomat I'm a
winner, Billy."

"You--you don't mean you got the silo?" gasped Conley.

"I got the silo, and I can have the hog pen too, if I want it,
and perhaps the farmer's house thrown in for good measure,"
answered Phil, his face flushed from his first triumph as a
publicity showman.

"Well, of all the nerve!"

"That's what the farmer said," laughed Phil. "But he changed
his mind."

"What do you think of that?" demanded Billy, turning to
the driver.

"The kid is all right."

"You're right; he is. The next question, now that you have got
the silo, is what are you going to do with it?"

"Post it," answered Phil promptly.

"You can never do it."

"I'll show you what a circus man can do."
