Phil saw the daisies, and, noting their significance,
smiled approvingly.
"Teddy has a heart, after all," was his mental comment.
Teddy Tucker proceeded to the flag-draped grave, gently placed
his offering upon it, then turned away.
As he did so, he was observed to brush a hand across his eyes as
if something there were blurring his sight.
CHAPTER IV
THEIR CURIOSITY AROUSED
"Phil, I have an idea that you are wondering where we are bound
for?" said Mr. Sparling, with a merry twinkle in his eyes.
"I will confess that I have been somewhat curious," smiled
the boy. "From the route I could not imagine where you
were heading."
"You are not the only one who has been guessing. Our rivals are
positively nervous over the movements of this show. They think
we are going to jump into the Mississippi River, or something of
the sort--"
"Or float on it," added Phil.
Mr. Sparling eyed him keenly.
They were in the owner's private tent, discussing the business
of the show itself, as these two did every day of the season, for
Mr. Sparling had come to place no little reliance on the judgment
of his young Circus Boy.
