CHAPTER XXIV
Near the Sky
It wn half past cine when Abbot!
met Fran according to appointment
before the Snake Den From her hands
she had removed the color of Italy
and from her body the glittering rah
ment of La GonlzettL
Fran came up to the young man
from out the crowded street all quit
ering excitement In contrast with
the pulsing life that ceaselessly
Abbott Grssped Bill’s Hand and
qulrsd About Business
In
I
changed her face as from reflections
of dancing light-points his composure
showed almost grotesque
“Here I am” she panted shooting a
quizzical glance at his face “are you
ready for me? Come on then and
I’ll show you the very place for ub”
Abbott Inquired serenely: 1 “Down
there In the Den?”
Fran scrutinized him anew always
wondering how he had taken the Ilona
What she saw did not alarm her
“No” she returned “not In the Den
You're no Daniel If I am a Charmer
No dena for us”
"Nor lion cages?” Inquired Abbott
still Inscrutable “never again?1
“Never again” came her responses
tt was a promise
As they made their way through the
noisy “city square” she kept on won
dering Since his face revealed noth
Ing his disapproval at any rate was
not so great as to be beyond control
Did that signify that he did not feel
enough for her really to care? Better
for him to be angry about the show
than not to care
Fran stopped before the Ferris
Wheel
Let's take a ride” she said a little
tremulously “Won’t need tickets Bill
stop the wheel I want to go right up
This is a friend of mine — Mr Ashton
And Abbott this Is an older friend
than you — Mr Bill Smookins1
Mr Bill Smookins was an exceed-
ingly hard-featured man of no recog-
nizable age Externally be was blue
overalls and greasy tar
Abbott grasped Bill’s band and In-
quired about business
Awful pore sense Fran lef the
show” was the answer accompanied
by a grin that threatened to cut the
weather-beaten face wide open
Fran beamed “Mr Smookins knew
my mother — didn't youj Bill? He was
awful good to me when I was a kid
Mr Smookins was a Human Nymph In
those days and be Bmoked and talked
he did right down under the water-L
remember Bill? That was sure-enough
water— oh he's a sure-enough Bill let
me tell you!
Bill intimated aa he slowed down
the engine that the rheumatism he
had acquired under the water was
sure-enough rheumatism — hence bis
change of occupation “I was strong
enough to be a Human Nymph” be
explained “but not endurable Nobody
can't last many years as a Human
Nymph”
Abbott Indicated hts 00 m pan ion—
“Here’s one that'll last mf time”
The wheel stopped He and Fran
were barred into a seat
“And now" Fran exclaimed “it’s all
ups and downs just like a moving pic-
ture of life Why don’t you say some-
thing Mr Ashton? But no you can
keep 8 till— I’m excited to death and
wouldn't hear you anyway I want to
do ail the talking — J always do after
I’ve been In the cage My brain Is
filled with ali-so this is the time to
be soaring up into the sky isn’t it!
What is your brain filled with? — but
never mind We’ll be Just two bal-
loons — my! aren’t you glad we haven't
any strings on us — suppose some peo-
ple had hold! — I for one would be
willing never to go down agaia Where
are the clouds? — Wish we could meet
few See how I’m trembling — al
ways do after the lions Now Abbott
I’ll leave a small opening for just one
word — ”
‘I’ll steady yon” said Abbott brief-
ly and he took her band She did not
appear conactona of bis protecting
clasp
“I never see the moon so big” she
went on breathlessly "without think-
ing of that night when It rolled along
the pasture aa If it wanted to knock
us off the foot-bridge for being where
we oughtn't I never could understand
why you should stay on that bridge
with a perfect stranger when your
duty was to be usher at the camp-meeting!
You weren’t ushering me you
know you were holding my hand — I
mean I was bolding your haud as
Miss Sapphlra says 1 shouldn’t What
a poor helpless man — as I'm bolding
you now I presume! But I laughed In
meeting People ought to go outdoors
to smile and keep their religion In a
house I guess I’m going to tel you
why I laughed for you’ve never
guessed and you’ve always been
afraid to ask — M
“Afraid of you Fran?”
“Awfully I’m going to show yon-
let go so I can show you No I’m In
earnest — you can have me afterwards
Remember that evangelist?
There be stood waving his bands — aa
I’m doing now — moving his arms with
bla eyes fastened upon the congrega-
tion — this way — look Abbott”
“Fran! Aa If 1 were not already
looking”
“Look — just so not saying a word —
only waving this way and that
And It made me thing of our hypno-
tlzer — the man that waves people into
our biggest tent — be seems to pick 'em
up bodily and carry them In his arms
Well! And If the people are to be
waved into a church It won’t take
much of a breeze to blow them out
I don’t believe In soul-waving But
that doesn't mean that I don't believe
In tbe church — does It? — do yon
think?” ' n
You believe In convictions Fran
And since you've come into the church
you don’t have to say that you believe
in It”
Yes — there's nothing on tbe out-
side and oh sometimes there’s so
little so little under tbe roof — what
do you think of me Abbott?”
Fran I think you are the most — ”
But do you I” she Interposed still
unsteadily "In tbe superlative?
don’t see how you can after that exhi-
bition behind the bars Anyway
want you to talk about yourself What
Fade you go away from town? But
that's not the worst what made you
stay away? And what were you doing
off there wherever It was while poor
little girls were wondering themselves
sick about you? But wait! — tbe
wheel’s going down— down — down
Good thing I have you to hold
to— poor Miss Sapphlra she can’t
come now! Listen at all the street
criers getting closer and the whistle
sounds — I wish we had whistles the
squawky kind See my element Ah-
bott the air I’ve breathed all my life
the carnival Here we are Juat above
the clouds of confetti Now
we’re riding through pretty
dampt these clouds are don’t you
think! Those ribbons of electric
lights have been the real world to ms
Abbott — they were home No
Bill we don’t want to get out We in-i
tend to ride until you take this wheel'
to nieces And oh by the way Bin-
just stop this wheel every once In a
while will you? — when we’re up at the
very tiptop All right— good-by”
And Abbott called gaily "Good-by
Mr Smookins!”
I'm glad you did that Abbott You
think you’re somebody when some-
body else thinks so too Now we’re
rising In the world"" Fran was so ex-
cited that she could not keep her body
from quivering In spite of this she-
fastened her- eyes upon Abbott to
ask suddenly: " ’Most’— what?”
Most adorable” Abbott answered
as If he had been waiting for the
prompting "Most precious Most be
wltchlngly sweet Most unanswerably
and eternally — Fran!”
And you — ” she whispered -
And I” he told her "am nothing
but most wanting-to-beloved”
'It’s so queer” Fran said plaintive
)y "You know Abbott how long
you’ve fought against me You know
It and I don’t blame you not in the
least There’s nothing about me to
make people But even now
how can you think you understand me
when I don’t understand myself?"
”1 don’t” he said promptly ‘I’ve
“lip Samson Upl”
given up trying
Since then I’ve
easy”
’What will people think of a super-
intendent of public schools caring for
show-girl even if she is Fran Non-
pareil How would It affect your ca-
reer?” “But you have promised newer again
to engage In a show so you are not a
show-girl”
“What about my mother who lived
and died as a lion-tamer? Wbat will
you do about my Ilfehlstory? I’d nev-
er speak to a man who could feel
ashamed of my mother What about
my father who has never publicly
acknowledged me? I’d not want to
have anything to do with a man who
— who could be proud of him”
“As -to the past Fran I have only
this to say: Whatever hardships It
contained whatever wrongs or wretch-
edness— It evolved you you the Fran
of today— the Fran of this living
hour' And lt’a the Fran of this living
hour that I want to marry?”
Fran covered her face' with her
hands For a while there was silence
then she said:
“Father was there tonight”
"At the lion-show? Impossible! Mr
Gregory go to a — a — to — a — ”
Yes It is possible for him even to
go to a show But to do him Justice
he was forced under the tent he had
no Intention of doing anything so
wicked as that be only meant to do
some little thing like running away—
But uo I can’t apeak of him with bit-
terness now Abbott he seems all
changed”
Abbott murmured as if stupefied:
Mr Gregory at a show!”
“Yes and a lion-show When It was
over he came to me — he was so ex-
cited — ”
“So was I” spoke up the other-1
"rather 1" f
“You didn’t Bbow It I thought
maybe you wouldn’t care If I had been
eaten up No no llstenr- He
wanted to claim me— he called me
‘daughter right there before the peo-
ple but they thought it was just a sort
of— of church name But he was won-
derfully moved I left the tent with-
him and we had a long talk— -I came
from him to you I never saw any-
body so changed”
iv
But why?” 0
“You see be thought I was going to
be killed right there before his eyee
and seeing it with bis very own eyes
made him feel responsible He told
me afterwards that when he found
out who It was in the oage he thought
of mother in a different way — he saw
how his desertion had driven her to
earning her living with showmen so I
could be supported All In all he Is a
changed man”
“Then will he acknowledge' you?
but no no
“You see? He can’t on account of
Mrs Gregory There’s no future for
him or for her except to go on living
as man and wife— without the secre-
tary He Imagines It would be a sort
of reparation to present me ' to the
world as his daughter he thinks it
would give him happiness— but it can’t
be Grace Nolr has found It all out ”
“Then she will tell!” Abbott ex-
claimed In dismay
She would have told but for one
thing Sbe doesn’t dare and it’s on
her own account — of course She has
been terribly — well indiscreet You
can’t think of what lengths she was
willing to go— not from coldly making
up her mind but because sbe lost grip
on herself from always thinking sbe
eouldn’L So she went away with Bob
Clinton — she’ll marry him and theyH
go to Chicago out of Littleburg his-
tory — poor Bob! Remember the night
he was trying to get religion? I’m
afraid he’ll conclude that religion
Isn’t what he thought It was living so
close to It from now on”
All this Interests me greatly dear
because It Interests you Still It
doesn’t bear upon the main question”
“Abbott you dont know why I went
to that show to act You thought I
was caring for a sick friend What do
you think of such deceptions?”
”1 think I understand Simon Jef-
ferson told me of a girl falling from a
trapeze It was possibly La Gonizettl’s
daughter Mrs Jefferson told me that
Mrs Gregory Is nursing some one
The same one I imagine And La Gon-
lzetti was a friend of yours and you
took her place so the mother could
stay with tbe Injured daughter"
“You’re a wonder yourself!” Fran
declared dropping her hands to stare
at him "Yes that’s it All these
show-people are friends of mine
When the mayor was trying to decide
what carnival company they’d have
for the street fair I told him about
this show and that’s why it’s here
Poor La Gonizetti needs the money
dreadfully— for they spend it as fast
as It’s paid In The llttte darling will
have to go to a hospital and there’s
nothing laid by The boys all threw
In but they didn’t have much them-
selves Nobody has Everybody's poor
In this old world— except you and me
I’ve taken La Gonizettl’s place In the
cage all day to keep her from losing
out and If this wasn’t the last day
I don’t know whether I'd have prom-
ised you or not Samson was
pretty good but that mask annoyed
him So you aee — but honestly Ab-
bott doesn’t all this make you feel Just
a wee bit different about me?”
It makes me want to kiss you
Fran”
It makes you”— she gasped— “want
to do— that? Why Abbott! Nothing
can save you”
"I’m afraid not” be agreed
The car was swinging at the highest
reach of the wheel The engine
stopped
She opened her eyes very wide "I'd
think you’d be afraid of such a world-
famous lion-trainer” she declared
drawing back “Some have been I'
assure you”
I’m not afraid" Abbott declared
drawing her toward him He would
have kissed her but she covered her
face Vlth her bands and bent her head
instinctively
Up!” cried Abbott "Dp Samson
up!"
Fran laughed hilariously and liftid
her head 8be looked at him through
her fingers Her face was a garden of
blusb-roeea She pretended to
tpar
hut the result was not terrifying then
she obediently held up her mouth
After all" said Fran speaking
Somewhat Indistinctly “you haven't
told why you ran away to leave poor
Fran guessing where you’d gone Do
you know how I love you Abbott?"
“I think I know”
“I’m glad— for I could' never tell you
Real love Is like real religion— you
can’t talk about it Makes you want
to Joke even If you can’t think of
anything funny to say— makes you
chatter about anything else or Just
keep still Seems to be something
down here— this Is my heart Isn’t It?
—hope I have the right place I left
school so early — seems even when I re-
fer to It I ought to— well as I said
make a sort of Joke
“But this Is no Joke” said Abbott
kisBlng her again
Yes” said Fran happily "we can
talk about It In that way Isn’t Bill
Smookins a dear to keep us up here so
long?”
It was a good while later that Ab-
bott said: “As to why I left Little
burg: Bob knew of a private school
that has just been Incorporated as a
college A teacher's needed one with
Ideas of tbe new education — the edu-
cation that teaches us how to make
books useful to life and not life to
books — the education that teaches
happiness as well aa words and fig-
ures Just the kind that you didn’t find
at my school little rebel! Bob was an
old chum of the man who owns the
property so he recommended me and
I went It's a great chance a magnifi-
cent opening Tbe man was so pleased
with the wayj talked— he’s new to the
business so that must be bis excuse
—that I am to be tbe president”
Fran's voice came rather faintly
“Hurrah! But you are to be far far
above my reach just as I prophesied
Don’t you remember what I said to
you during our drive through Eure-
Enough Country?”
"And that isn’t all” said Abbott
looking straight before him and pre-
tending that he had not heard “In
that town— Tahlelah Okla — I discov-
ered out in the suburbs a cottage—
the dearest little thing— as dear as
as Mr Smookins just big
enough for a girl like Fran I rented
It at once— of course it oughnt to be
standing there idle— there’s such a
fragrant flower garden — I spent some
time arranging tbe grounds as I think
you’ll like them I didn’t furnish the
cottage though Women always like
to select their own carpets and things
and — "
Fran's face was a dimpled sea of
pink and crimson waves with starry
lights in her black eyes for signal
lights "Oh you king of hearts!” she
exclaimed "And shall we have a
church wedding arid just kill ’em?”
Abbott laughed boyishly “No— you
must remember that your connection
with show-life is at an end”
But — and then — and so” cried
Fran rapturously “I’m to have a home
after all with flower gardens and
carpets and things — a sure-enough
home — Abbott a home with youl
Don’t you know it’s been the dream of
my life to— to— ”
Abbott was Inexpressibly touched
"lea I was Just thinking of what I
beard you say once— to belong to
somebody”
Frau slipped her arms about his
neck "And what a somebody) To be-
long to you And to know that my
home Is our home "
Abbott with a sober sense of his
vunworthinesg embraced her silently
From far below came a sudden
sound making its way through the
continuity of the street-uproar It was
the chugging of the engine
The wheel began to revolve
Down they came— down — down—
Fran looked up at the moon "Good-
by" she called gaily “The world la
good enough for me!” '
