Darlington, Edgar B. P.

"The Circus Boys on the Plains : or, the Young Advance Agents Ahead of the Show"


CHAPTER XV--IN AN EXCITING RACE
All surrounded in Kansas. Three "opposition" cars
discovered in the same yard with Phil Forrest. A race for
the country. Paste cans dance a jig. Rivals turned over
into a ditch. A case of give and take.
CHAPTER XVI--A BATTLE OF WITS
When money made a big noise. The canary car manager gets an
awful jolt. "Be on your way, my little man," urges Phil sweetly.
"Turn out every man in town! Run as if the Rhino of the Sparling
Circus were after you!"
CHAPTER XVII--THE CHARGE OF THE PASTE BRIGADE
The battle is on in earnest. Trouble is on the air.
"Paste them, fellows!" howls Teddy. "Look out! The police
are coming!" "I arrest you for disturbing the peace!"
Phil faces the officers of the law boldly and wins for his show.
CHAPTER XVIII--THE MISSING SHOW CARS
Congratulations from the show's owner. Four rival advance cars
go out on one train. Teddy sends the enemy's cars adrift.
Sleeping a sleep of innocence. Phil is puzzled over the mystery
of the missing cars. Teddy's expression arouses the suspicion of
his chum.
CHAPTER XIX--PHIL'S DARING PLAN
Teddy Tucker admits his guilt. Forrest reads "Spotted Horse"
a severe lecture. "Is the sermon over?" A lesson that bore
fruit for a day or so. Pat "smells a rat." "She's moving!
We're off!" The Circus Boys adrift on a runaway car.
