"You can search me," grumbled Teddy. "Guess I'll go back to bed now."
"You wait until I tell you to go back," commanded Phil.
"Keep quiet, now."
The Circus Boy crept up to the car with great caution. The light was so faint, however, that he was obliged to go close to it before he could read the letters on the side of it. Even then he had to take the letters one by one and follow along until he had read the length of the line.
"Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth," was what Phil
Forrest read, and on the end of the car a big figure "4."
"Car Four," he muttered. "Here's trouble right from the start.
I am right in the thick of it from the word go."
Phil walked back to where Teddy was awaiting him.
"Find out whose car it is?"
"Yes; Barnum & Bailey."
"Humph! Let's go back to bed."
"There will be no bed for us tonight, I fear. Wait; let me think."
