There was a proud ring in Phil Forrest's voice as he made the announcement. "Very well, boys. Hand your baggage over to the man at the baggage wagon. If there is anything in either of your grips that you will want during the night you had better get it out, for you will be unable to get into the wagon after the show is on the road. That's one of the early wagons to move, too."
"No, sir; we shall pay for the drum heads. To whom does the drum belong?" "The drummer, I think." "Very well; thank you." Phil hastily withdrew from the cabin and hurried back to his own stateroom.

"And you did not try to save him your friend?" cried Valentine.
We must!" Everyone joined in the hunt with growing excitement, and the house was searched, even the attic. But the fan was gone. "Maybe Phil didn't put it on the desk, at all. He probably has it in his pocket and forgot all about it. Let's call him on the phone and see what he says," exclaimed Kit.

"Take your time," called Phil again. "Stand by his shoulder and watch his heels. Take the stirrup with your right hand and turn it to catch your foot. Stay back by his shoulder until you are ready to swing up. Take your time." "I won't be long," returned Patches, as he awkwardly gained his seat in the saddle.
