Ludovico Ariosto, greatest of Italian poets, came here and wrote a sonnet to "Gian Bellini, sublime artist, performer of great things, but best of all the loving Teacher of Men."

Afterward, though, following some sensational happenings which did become known, Joe told his closest friends enough of Ham's story to make clear the trend of events. Punctually on the time agreed, Micky Donlon was back at his post. Joe was coming out of the room. "Are you engaged for the rest of the day?" asked the young circus performer of his guide. "Engaged?" "I mean have you anything to do?"

"But you're not going to give up trying to find out who put acid on the trapeze, are you?" "No, indeed!" declared the young performer. "I have two problems on my hands now that and trying to learn how too many persons came to the circus this afternoon," and he told Helen about the extra tickets. "That's queer!" she exclaimed. "Some jinx bug must be after us!"
"Your grace does her too much honour," Susan contrived to say, thankful that no less remote resemblance had been detected.
