Bad Eye and Manuel were tried and convicted in due time, and
placed where they would do the show no further harm.
The show went on, and after several successful weeks, reached
New Orleans, where the final performance of the season was given.
All hands then turned their faces northward. Teddy and Phil
decided to take a steamship for New York, thence proceeding to
their home by train. Each lad was a few thousand dollars richer
than when he had joined out in the spring.
They waved their adieus to Mr. Sparling from the deck of an ocean
steamer next morning as the big ship slowly poked its nose out
into the gulf.
"You can't down the Circus Boys," said Phil, with a pleased smile
as they leaned over the rail.
"At least, not this season," added Teddy.
But the exciting experiences of the Circus Boys were not yet at
an end. The lads will be heard from further in another volume,
under the title: "THE CIRCUS BOYS ON THE PLAINS; Or, The Young
Advance Agents Ahead of the Show."
In this forthcoming volume the lads pass through a phase of
circus life never experienced by them before.
