"But it's all behind you now, Lou. We made fourteen miles to-day from Highvale or will have when we walk down the hill to Riverburgh to-morrow, and it is only sixty miles further to New York."
"To New York; to the sea," he responded. "The ocean, you know." "My!" There was wonder and a certain regret in her tone. "What a waste of good wash-water!" Jim emitted an inarticulate remark, and added hastily: "Let us get along down into Highvale. I must try to find a place for you to sleep, and remember, Lou, you're my sister if anyone starts to question you."
"There must be a circus in Highvale yes, the date says to-night," Jim replied. "'Trimble & Wells Great Circus & Sideshow," she read slowly. "I heard about them circuses; some of the children seen them before they came to to where I was, an' once one come to town an' sent free tickets to us, but the deaconesses said it was sinful an' so we couldn't go.
