ay!""What's that?" demanded Teddy.
"Didn't you hear?""I heard, but I don't understand. What's it all about? What is itabout those yellow boats over there?""The Sparling Circus is going down the Mississippi," Mr. Sparlinginformed him.
"On those things?""On those boats.""Then I think I'll walk. You don't catch me riding on any boat thathas to have a wheel on behind to help push it along. No, siree,

cheap uggs, Teddy,
canada goose jacket sale, they are fine boats," said Phil.
"They are among the few typical Mississippi River steamers," broke inMr. Sparling. "I got them far up the river last winter. When I firstconceived the plan of sending my show down the river, on the river itself,I took a trip out here to look over the ground--""You mean the water," corrected Teddy innocently.
"A little of both, my boy. I found that no show since the early days ofthe barnstorming outfits had ever attempted the feat. I learned a numberof things that made me all the more anxious to try it. The next questionwas a boat. I heard of some of the old broad-beamed river craft thatwere out of commission up stream. I found them exactly suited to ourrequirements, and I rented them for the season. It cost quite a sum tohave them fixed up, but you will find them just the thing for our work.
What do you think of the idea?""Great!" breathed Phil,

"We begin moving in this morning. I have given the orders to havethe property removed from the trains and brought here,
Moncler Outlet, now--that is, allthat will not be needed for today's performances. Tonight all hands willsleep on the boats. How will you like that, boys?""Fine!" answered Phil, with glowing eyes.
"I'll tell you after I try it," added Teddy prudently.
Across the sides of each boat, in big black letters, were the words,"The Sparling Combined Shows." Below this lettering appeared thenames of the boats. The "River Queen" was the name emblazoned onone, several shades more yellow than the other two.
"I guess we shall have to call her the 'Yellow Peril,'" laughed Phil.
"Don't you think that would be an appropriate name?"Mr,

The companion boat to the "Queen" was named the "Mary Jane."Teddy promptly renamed her the "Fat Marie," in honor of The FattestWoman on Earth, much to the amusement of Phil and Mr. Sparling.
The "Nemah" was the third boat of the fleet,

"Well, Teddy," said Mr. Sparling, "in view of the fact that you and Philhave renamed the 'River Queen' and the 'Mary Jane,' I suppose you willnot be satisfied until you have rechristened the 'Nemah.' What will youcall her?""'Little Nemo,'" answered the lad promptly.
"You boys beat anything I ever came across in all my circusexperience," remarked Mr. Sparling.
"Where do we sleep,
cheap uggs?" asked Phil.
"The cabins are all on the upper decks. The lower decks will be usedwholly for the equipment. I have had all the partitions ripped out, downthere, and the deck flooring lowered a little so that the elephants willhave room to stand. I have also had smaller wheels put on all the wagons.
Had I not done so the wagons would not have gone in through theopenings on the sides.""What about the tent poles?" asked Phil. "You never will be able todrive a pole wagon on board.""You have an eye to business,
