"Pipe him up again," urged Teddy. "No; I wouldn't dare. He would be likely to break away from Mr. Kennedy and might trample some of the people about here. See, Mr. Kennedy is having his troubles as it is." "Done any tumbling since you closed last fall?" questioned Mr. Miaco. "We have practiced a little. I want to learn, if you will teach me " "Why, you can tumble already, Phil."
Miaco began swinging Phil backwards and forwards, his speed ever increasing, and as he went higher and higher, Phil let himself down, fastening his hands on the rings that he might assist in the swinging. "Now, see if you can get back in the rings with your legs." "That's easy," answered Phil, his breath coming sharp and fast, for he never had taken such a long sweep in the rings before.
He is fully as good on the flying rings as I am, if not better." "H-m-m-m!" mused the showman. "Come over to the big top and let's see what you really can do," he said, starting up. Phil ran in search of Teddy and in a few minutes the two boys appeared in the arena, ready for the rehearsal. Mr. Miaco, who had been called on and informed of the news, accompanied them.
Under this excitement, the opposition became so lively, that they completely declared themselves, and Yeyasudono found it convenient to leave the kingdom of Miaco and go to his lands of Quanto, in order to insure his own safety and return to the capital with large forces with which to demand obedience.
You may depend upon that, Mr. Miaco. I can't say as much for Teddy." "Teddy put up that job with January last night, didn't he?" "He hasn't said so." "Not necessary. I saw the whole thing. Lucky for Teddy that Mr. Sparling did not happen to be about." "I am not so sure that he was not." "What?" Phil explained what Mr. Sparling had said to Teddy out in the paddock.
Miaco enlivened the spirits of those on the hayrack by climbing to the back of one of the horses drawing the clowns' wagon, where he sat with a doll's parasol over his head and a doll in his arms singing a lullaby. The people who were massed along the sidewalks of the main street did not appear to mind the rain at all. They were too much interested in the free show being given for their benefit.
Miaco, the head clown, who had been a true friend to the boys from the beginning of their circus career, had discovered what was going on about the time Teddy decided to mix in in the disagreement. Mr. Miaco sprang up and ran to the struggling heap. Grasping Teddy firmly by the shoulder he tossed the lad aside.
Five religious who were in the house at Miaco were immediately seized, together with another from the "San Felipe" who had joined them, and all the Japanese preachers and teachers. It was also understood that the persecution would extend to the other orders and Christians in Japon, whereupon all received great fear and confusion.
They hauled him out by those selfsame feet, and, after disentangling him from the straws that clung to him, were relieved to find that he had not been hurt in the least. "I guess we shall have to put a net under you. Lucky for you that that pile of straw happened to get in your way. Do you know what would have happened to you had it not been?" demanded Mr. Miaco.
The suggestion came too late. The table suddenly rose into the air, landing upside down with a crash, at one side of the cabin. A moment more and the two combatants were wrestling on roast beef and ham sandwiches, potato salad and various other foods. "I guess this has gone about far enough," decided Mr. Miaco, the head clown. "We'll have a fight on our hands, first thing we know.
