"
"I am aware of the fact, sir."
"You will draw the same salaries that other employees of Number
Three do, and in addition to this I shall send you both my
personal checks, so that you will be drawing the same money you
now are."
"It is not necessary," protested Phil.
Mr. Sparling waved the objection aside.
"It is my plan. Go to your car and tell your friend to get
ready now, and report to me in the morning at Saginaw for
further instructions."
Phil rose. His face was flushed. He was now full of
anticipation for the new life before him. And it was to be
a new life indeed--a life full of astonishing experiences
and adventures.
Phil bade his employer good night, and hurried away to his own
car to tell the news to Teddy.
CHAPTER II
OFF FOR NEW FIELDS
"Teddy, Teddy, wake up!" commanded Phil, hauling his companion
from his berth in the sleeping car.
Teddy scrambled out into the aisle of the car and promptly
showed fight.
"Here, what are you doing, waking me up this time of the night?"
he demanded.
"I have great news."
"News?" questioned the boy, showing some slight signs of interest
in the announcement.
"Yes, news, and good news, too."
"All right, I'm easy. What is it?"
"We are to join the advance."
"Advance of what?"
"The advance of the Sparling Shows, of course," glowed Phil.
