The Gulf Stream runs along the outer edge of the reef, and here between Tennessee Buoy and Alligator Light, eighteen miles, is a feeding-ground for sailfish, kingfish, amberjack, barracuda, and other fishes. The ballyhoo is the main feed of these fishes, and it is indeed a queer little fish. He was made by nature, like the sardine and mullet and flying-fish, to serve as food for the larger fishes.
On account of my voice being in the right pitch, I expanded into a spieler, a front man, the person who makes the announcements in front of the curtain, that does the ballyhoo for the side show or bawls out, from the center ring, the features of the concert 'that will immediately fallaawftah this pawfo'mance.
This one was too good on his feet to be him." The couple gave their horses rein again, and they broke into a gallop which carried them swiftly toward their destination. The glimmer of the camp-fire was discerned when they rode to the top of the next moderate elevation. "Hark!" exclaimed Ballyhoo, abruptly checking his pony.
While employed in this duty, Ballyhoo cast frequent looks in the direction of Captain Shirril's home. He expected to see their leader before it was light, but the sun was already showing in the horizon and he was not in sight. The Texan galloped to the top of the adjoining elevation, from which he could see the low flat building in the distance.
The free show seemed to Jerry not to have much more than started when the raucous voice of the ballyhoo announced: "This, ladies and gents, concludes the free show. The main show will not begin for half an hour, thirty minutes just time enough to see the side show, the world's greatest congress of freaks and monstrosities.
"I didn't know it was going to be quite as awful as this." "Awful?" "You know what I mean you're worn out, and you look dreadfully and I didn't know we'd have to do so much " She fumbled for the word. "What is it when a man stands outside, and tries to make people come in and look at the snake-charmer?" "Ballyhoo. Would you have wanted me to stay out of it, if you'd known?" She deliberated.
"Never mind," remarked Ballyhoo gravely; "I'll give out a contract for a new pair for you, when we get into Kansas, and send a couple of the boys back with them, if they don't prove too big a load."
The elephants, whose arduous duties in the ring and on the ballyhoo brought such leg weariness that they were usually glad to be shackled for the night, were swaying their huge bodies from side to side and straining at the stout chains which fastened them and the shrill trumpeting of Tom, the largest one, was echoed and repeated by his companions, Roger and Alice.
"How is it that no one else saw it but you?" "I was the only man aloft. She was a hemp-rigged old ballyhoo out o' Quebec, an' gear was chafin' through all the time.
The twentieth century was stamped across his brow, and on his lips was ever the word "Service." Silent, courteous, watchful, alert, he listened, while you talked. His method, in turn, made that of the silk-lined salesman sound like the hoarse hoots of the ballyhoo man at a county fair. Blithely he accepted five hundred thousand dollars and gave in return a promise.
