BT FLITCIIEB HUITir. <No doubt you have often heard, and, maybe used the exprcsalon yourself, "once a trouper always a trouper," and you of tho show busi- ness believe It to bo tho gospel truth. To a doubting Thomas, yon have cited the case of Mr. "So and So," who quit the business, for perhaps a more lucrative position else- where, only to Anally drift back to his former life under the white tops, or, maybe you used aa evidence to clinch your argument, the story of Miss Do Rtdcr, who gave up the life of premier equestrienne with a circus, to marry a millionaire, only to speedily tire of It, and back again It was for her to tbo circus, tho spangles and the sawdust ring. You could go on and on, and prove, to your own satisfaction: the truth ot your assertion, and I for one, will agree with vou. that once the lure of the white tops Is thoroughly in- oculated into the system, It stays there, and It needs no arjar to convince you that It "took." Granting; that you are rlifht, I am going still farther, and I claim that whtt you oinvo said about the human, applies Jiltt the same to the animal race, and If you doubt me, let me relate to you the story ot Deacon Perry's Cake-Walking- Horse! It convinced me, and I know It will you, when you Imvo heard mo through. "Undo Jim," tho rugged, rough and ready boss hostler of the world's finest Bhows, told me the story, snd I give it to you just as lie related It sitting around the big stove tn the animal room of the Win* ter quarters. Wo had been discussing this very same question, and I told him of my ex- perience In trying to break away from the circus business, and how hard I worked to §et back my old position on a New England oily, for although I had worked on tho sheet for years and the editor was a personal friend of mine, he knew juat about how long I would remain, and he objected to being used simply as a convenience. But I Anally convinced him that I was sincere In my pur- pose, and (Irmly Intended to give up tho cir- cus business for good and all. I worked until Spring, and then one day sitting in tha office, afber the paper bad gone to press, I heard the "chuck, "chuck" of sunburst wheels on the pavement, and looking out of the wlpdow saw my old Bldn partner, "Punch" Haves driving up tho street atop of his big tableau wagon. ''I leave at 5 o'clock to-night to join the London 8how, got the kid show. I'll give yon the No. 1 box If you will come on," he snouted to me. I slammed down my desk, ran down stairs and climbed up on the aeat beside him. I've been tn the business ever since, and Intend to remain as Jong at I live. "Uncle Jim" heard me through and then he began: "You can't keep nobody out of the busi- ness once you get a taste of It, animals no more than bumnn beings. Now there Is the case of Hlnl, that menage horse we've got out there in the stable. 8be quit the busi- ness once for Ave years, but she s back again, and the Qoveruor wouldn't sell her for no price. I'll tell you about her, for It It a funny story all the way through. "Afore I came over here I was with the Great Eastern" Show. It was a wagon outfit playing through Maine, and lasted three or four seasons. Twan't big enough a show to carry any riders, but the boss being a pretty good hand at breaking stock, broke a mare In for a menage act, aud his wife rode her In the ring. Her best trick was cako-walk- lng, and that mare could do It One, auro enough. The band used to play the 'Georgia Camp Meeting* for tho act. and she'd cake- walk three timet around the ring and clear out to the pad room, where Bhe d turn and bow to the audience. One afternoon Bird was kicked by another horse and to badly injured that the boss turned her over to mo to dispose of. The man who owned the lot we were showing on wat a good old New England deacon named Perry. Next to bit Mixer and bit wife he loved a horse, and ha owned some good ones He bad a team of good workers that would lust suit the boss, and we dickered 'round till wc made a trade, flvlng him Hlrd and 1200 In cash. I hated o let Bird go, but I 'lowed as bow he would treat her better than most folks, and his atock looked as If he didn't half starve 'em. I led Bird over to bis place and saw her turned out Into his pasture. I didn't think no mora of the matter till I showed that town Inst Summer with tbla show. It had Sot to be quite a place in five years and we Id a big business there. I don't guess no- body tn that town will ever forget what hap- pened to the deacon that day.

I thought likely the Deacon'd bo downtown afore the parade, and hiked up to the main street while the men were watering the atock. I spotted Bird almost aa soon aa I hit the main drag. She was hitched to a two-seated carry-all and there was two women on the back seat." "Hullo, Deacon," snys I, "I see you got Bird yet, she's looking Ane. ain't she." "Fine at a fiddle," says he. "There ain't another horse In the town thot can beat her," ho proudly added. "Wouldn't tell for $D0O to tny one." "Ever cut up any dldoet with you," says I, "Not's I ever knowed of," snys he. "Drovo her over to tho county fair last Fall and she klnd'r acted kittenish when tbo band played but that's all the cuttln' up I ever noticed." . "Maybe she thought It was a circus band aplnylng," says I, "well, so long, glad to hove seen ycr again," and I goes on down the street. "Whet time's ycr parade," sayi he, shouting after me. "Twelvo o'clock," says I, and keeps on agoing." "It was about eleven o'clock then, and I wat due back to the lot In half an hour to start 'em hitching up, but who should I meet but the Governor, and he kept mo with hint looking at some harness till we beard tbo band playing and saw the big tableau twing- ing around the corner way down tho street We had three bands and a calliope, and I usually rode the routo to watch out for the guys that persist In lining up tide ot the street with skittish horses tbtt'll do a song and dance and doublo shufllo as soon at the bulls come along. They're the kind of geeks that generally boHcr, 'Come on with yer elephants, I can hold em,' and Just then the horses prick np their ears, snort and dump a wagon load of women and children Into tho street and tear off down the line, smash- ing the wagon all to kindling and the show has to foot the damage. "I know that kind well, and I always looks out for 'em every day. I thought I had bet- ter hike op too street to look out (or thetlmpt and I loft the Governor standing on the car- ter near tho court house, Down by the post- ofllco I come across tho Deacon with tho carry- all drawed up sldo ot the street. Tho Deacon was Bitting on the front seat holding tho reins, and didn't see mo come up and stand by Bird's head. I noticed she wat actl.ig mighty pert and I 'lowed as how tho would do something when the band come along. Now I wlfl always say that that boras knowed what was going on, tOT the acted like a different animal the minute the heard that band a-comlng and got a glimpse ot the big ml band wagon. Bhe picked up her ears, and I swear she wat aa kittenish as ft fcmnle boob trying to make a Dinah, on, one ot the klnkcrs. She danced • little as the first 'band went by and the Deacon's wlft grew uneasy, "Let me get out," aayt the. "She ain't going to run away," says he, "I enn hold her. "There you go," tayt I to mytelf. "you'ro ono of them dang fools yourclf, Well, the parade kept going by_ and 'long como tho elephants with Slim Keller riding alongsldo telling tho folks to look out for their horses. I felt sure that Bird wouldn't kick up no fuss, but I thought I had better warn tho Deacon, so In case anything should happen he couldn't have no come back on the boss. He laughed and said ho want afraid of no trouble, but his wife and daughter got out and went up on tho post office steps. "Pretty toon long came the green tableau with the colored band on top, and lust at they were about halt a block away they hit up that 'Georgia Camp Meeting,' ragging It out at only a colored band can. Say, you ought to have teen that mare. It wat to darned funny I didn't do a thing but lean up tgalnst a letter box and Inugli till I wat most sick. I've seen about all tho Joe's In the buslocit work tho January act, and I always claimed that Doc Stoddard was tho funniest rube of them all, but Doc never had anything on that Deacon. Tho belt of it was, the Deacon wasn't putting It on either, but was playing to a crowd of hit own folks, who taw that ho got all that was coming to him In the way of laughter and applause. At first they acted as though they was afraid something wtis going to happen to Mm but as toon as they taw what Bird was a letting out to do, they Just hollered to the Deacon to let her go. Tbo Dcncnn hogged that parado turo enough, and I 'low he'd t given 'limit ten dollar* It he wat back homo pitching hay Inttcad of being the star feature la it. "When that maro heard that cnko-wnlklng tune I expect she thought sho was back with the show again, or clso alio wanted to thow them proud acting show horses slio was tome punklnt herself. That tuno was her cue, and all the deacons In tbo country couldn't have made her miss It. "In vain did the old follow holler, coax and cajole.

"On and on down tho street danced the mare, and the Deacon found himself being urged along by a mob of laughing, shouting, tomporarlly fun-crazed town folks. "I saw Lon Turner look over tho side of the wtgon a-klnd of tcarcd-llke, but when be law what waa causing all the commotion he laughed to bard he couldn't blow a note. I waa afraid be would stop the band, but he wat enjoying the fun tt much ai anyone, and darn me If he didn't keep them playing the whole length of the main street, When the band and Bird patseil the Governor I thought ht wat going to have a At. I don't know what he said to the Deacon to rouso lila Ire, but I swear the Deacon said some- thing back that sounded worse than go to friis. Well, the band fellows got to laugh- ng so they had to quit, and Just as toon as they ttopped playing Bird dropt on bor kneei and makes a bow to tbo crowd- I imagine the Deacon thought he was In over- lasting disgrace, and I really felt sorry for him.
