Teddy told him.
"You got off pretty easy, I must say. It is a wonder he did not
discipline you for that."
"Do you think he saw Manuel fly?"
"He did, or else someone told him. Be careful, Teddy! You are
laying up trouble for all of us," warned Phil.
"I got even with Mr. Hat Thrower, just the same," grinned Tucker.
Teddy was the happiest boy in the show that night, and he went to
his sleeping quarters chuckling all the way.
The show, this season, had opened in Chicago, and was now working
its way across the state of Illinois. The route had caused
considerable comment among the show people. They did not
understand what the plans of the owner might be.
Ordinarily, give a showman the first week or two of the show's
route and he will tell you just what parts of the country the
show will visit during that particular season. The performers
were unable to do so in this instance. Phil Forrest was as much
perplexed as the others, but he made no mention of this to
Mr. Sparling.
"He has some surprise up his sleeve, I am sure," decided
Phil shrewdly.
