CHAPTER XXVII
TT'OB' a terrible moment, long
enough for Gus. the barker, to
Jump from .Tan'a platform and come
toward her on a run, Sally sat
fror.cn with terror. She felt, that
Betsey's keen eyes had stripped her
of her hrown make-up, of her fan-
tastic clothes, of tho protecting
black lace veil, so that anyone who
Iookr-<1 at her could see that she was
Indeed "just Sally Ford, play act-
ing.''
Slip wanted to rise from her
glided chair and run for her life—
and David's—but she had lost all
cunt ml of her muscles. Iietsey was
still clingiiiK to her, her babyish
hands shaking the blender shoul-
ders under the green satin jacket,
when tins bounded upon the plat-
form and took the almost hysterical
child into hi? avtus.
"Hello, Tiddly* inks!" he snug
out tovlnlly. "Having a good time
at the carnival'.' Listen, kiddie!
I'm Koihg to give you a real treat!
Yesslr! Y011 know what you're go-
ing to do'.' Just guess!"
Si.l'.y l'clt the blood begin to thaw
In her frozen veins. Gus was stand-
ing- Jjv, J)^ar Gus! But Gus was too
wise lo give the child iu his arms
a chance to reply. He hurried 011.
hist voice loud and cajoling:
"I'm going to let you stand right
lip on the platform with the little
lady midget—her name's Titty
Sing*—and show all the other kids
how much bigger you are thai a
grown-up lady. Yesslr. she's a
grown-up lady and she's not nearly
bs big as you. Now what do you
think of that?"
Betsey was torn between her love
lor Sally, whom she was convinced
tihe had found, and her pride in be-
ing chosco to stand beside tho mid-
net.. She looked doubt fully from
Sally, whose eyes beneath llie black
lace veil were lowered to her tisht-
i ly locked hands, to the platform op-
posite, where "Piltv Sing.'' the
midget, was stretching, <;lit, a .liiiy
, hand invitingly. The midget won.
' for the moment at least.
"I'm six going 011 seven, and I'm
; a big girl," she confided to the
1 barker ou whose shoulder she was
riding in delightful conspicuous-
j uess.
The children, true to the herd
instinct which had been so highly
developed in the orphanage, trooped
after Gus and Betsey, even more
easily diverted than she from their
pop-eyed Inspection of "Princess
Lalla."
Sally heard Thelma answer an-
other child derisively: "Aw, Bet-
sey's off her nut! Sure that ain't
Sally! That's a Turkish princess
from Con-stan-ti-no-ple. Tho man
said so. 'Sides. Sally's white, and
the princess is brown—"
"All right, children, right this
way!" Gus was ballyhoolng loudly.
"Permit me to introduce 'Pitty
Sing,' tha smallest and prettiest
little woman in the world. Just 20
inches tall, 29 years old and 29
1 pounds heavy. Did I say 'heavy'?
' Excuse me, Pitty Sing! 1 meant
29 pounds light! Look at her, little
| ladles and gents! Ain't she cute?
Her parents were just as big as
! your papas and mamas—"
j He remembered just too late that
! he was talking to orphans, and his
jolly face went darlc red. But he
recovered quickly, glanced about
his audience, saw that Miss Pond
1 was straying nervously toward
Sally's platform, as if halfway con-
vinced that Betsey's childish intui-
tion had been correct.
"Oh, Miss Pond'" he sang out
ingratiatingly. "I wonder if you'd
do me the favor to step up on tho
platform. I believe Betsey is scared.
Ycssir, 1 believe she's scared half
out of her skin!" He laughed,
"tfooped to chuck Be!sey under the
'chin, then, with a eonrtl} gesture,
offered .Miss Pond his hand.
Sally'looked on, her throat tight
Willi tear and with tears of grail-
I tilde toward Gus, 11s the barker,
with a rapid tin of talk and joking.
. kept his aiifli«nco completely hypim-
, ti/cil. He jollied shy little Betsey
into taking the midget, into her
arms, like a babv or a big doll, and
only Sally, of all those who looked
on. co-ild guess how keenly the arii-
rk'lallv smiling little atom of hu-
manity was resenting this insult to
her dignity.
He Coaxed the flattered and flus-
tered Miss Pond Into standing be-
side "Pitty Sing." so that the chil-
dren could see wluit a vast differ-
ence there was In their height. And
' somehow lie bad attracted the at-
tention of a carnival employe, for
before he had exhausted the possi-
bilities of the midget as a diver-
1I011, Winfield By bee himself cam$
striding into the Palace of Won-
ders. mounted the midget's plat
form and. after a moment's whis-
pered conference with Gus, made an
announcement:
"Children. I'm old Pop Bybee;
I Wlnlleld Bybee is the way it's wrote
j down in the Bible. X own this car-
I nival nnd I want to tell you chil-
dren that I'm proud to have you as
my ^11 -ts. 1 love children, always
did! Now. boys uml girls. Hit:
Ferris wheel and the whip end the
n>; i ry.gu-runnds are wailing lor
Villi."
lie Vviis ■iaieiiupi'Ml by o> wh-oop
of joy from the boys, iu which the
girls joined more timidly. "It won't
cost you a cent. If your chap-
eron—" and he turned to Miss Pond
with "S courtly bow—"will do me
i,.tl4e_ hgiUHv jo..,.accept these tickets.
' you'If iil'Tnivc a ride 011 the Ferris
wheel,'the whip and the merry-go-
round absolutely free. Don't crowd
, now, children, but gather at the
door of the tent. I thank you."
When he sprang, frathcr stiffly,
' from the platform, hie offered Miss
PQiui his hand. then, with her arm
jfressed to his side, ho escorted her
! with pompous courtesy to the door
of the tent, where the children were
already milling about, wild with
excitement.
In her terror Sally had forgotten
the golden-haired woman in the
green silk sports suit. Now that
the danger was passing, miracu-
lously averted by Gus and Pop
Bybee, she started to draw a deep,
j trembling sigh of relief, but it was
I choked in her throat by the discov-
ery that she was being regarded
! intently by the beautiful woman,
who was standing beside the mid-
| get's platform.
"Oh!" Sallv thought In a new
; flutter of terror. "She heard Betsey
! call me Sally Ford. She's going to
, question uie. I wonder who she is.
j Maybe she's a trustee's wife—oh,
she's coming! She's going to talk
| to me—"
She rose from her high-hacked,
1 gilded chair, trying to do so with-
lout haste. Since the performance
was ended she had every right to
leave tho tent, and she would do
so. but she mustn't run. She
mustn't give herself away—
"Hel lo, Enid! I couldn't believe
my eyes' What in the world are
yon doing so far from Park ave-
nue'.'"
Sally, forcing herself to walk
with sedate leisiirellness down the
little wooden steps of the platform,
saw 1 lie .New Yorker who had been
paving her half-tnockitig, half ad-
miring attention all afiernoon.
: stride swiftly and gracefully across
Iho lent toward the golden-haired
woman So lie too had witnessed
Betsey's hysterical lilontilicatioii!
She had forgotten that lie was in
the tent, watching her. smiling
mockingly, biding his chance to
, ask her again to go 10 supper with
him after the last show that night
The golden-haired woman baited,
and Sally, out of the corner of her
vcil-proiecteil eyes, saw au expres-
sion of startled surprise and then
of annoyance sweep over the beau-
i ilful little I'acc. Odd that these two
who had so strangely crossed her
path In one hectic day should know
each other, should meet .1 thousand
miles away from home, iu the freak
show tent of a third-rate carnival!
"Oh, hello. Van! I might ask what
\tou're so far from Park bvi>
nue, out -I suppose you're visiting
Tour' reutHfi, the governor. Cou.t'J
here on Msiness and T'rn smuslna:
myself taking the orphans to the
carnival. A new role for Me, isn't
it—Lady Bountiful! Poor little
devils! If only they didn't want
to paw me!"
Now that she was safe from b«-
: ins questioned Sally wanted to
' make *her passage to tin- "alley"
door of the tent take as long as pos-
sible. so that nut a note of the mu-
sic of that: extraordinary voice
should be lost to her. # She had ex-
. l :c nl the ^ol(h;ii.-iu.iiecl Lady's
; voice to be a sweet, tinkling so-
prano, to match her iu size, but the
voice which thrilled her with its
perfection of modulation was -i
rich, throaty contralto, a little arro-
gant. even as the speaker was, but
j so effortless and so golden that
j Sally would have been divinely con-
j tent to listen to it. no matter what
| words it might have said.
Sally paused at the door of the
j tent, and cast a swift glance back-
I ward over her green-satin shoulder,
j "Van" was holding one of "Enid's"
i hands in both of his. laughing down
at her. mockingly but fondly, as if
| they were the best of friends.
"Well," she said to herself, as she
| rati toward tho dress tent, "now

speak English and she'd just upset
