CHAPTER XXXVI.—ON THE ELEVATED TRACKS.
Ten days later the circus reached the great lakes and settled in Chicago for a week.
On the following day Leo was strolling down State Street when, happening to glance up, he saw Hank Griswold coming from a building with a large letter in his hand.
As quick as a flash he made after the man.
Leo was almost up to Griswold when the latter saw him coming and started up the street on a run.
Coming to a side street, he turned up that thoroughfare and continued on his way for a dozen blocks or more.
Leo tried to keep him in sight, but was unsuccessful, and after a search lasting half an hour he mounted to the elevated road, to take a train to Jackson Park.
As he went up he did not imagine that Hank Griswold was watching him.
There was a crowd at the station, and this kept increasing, as the train was late.
Leo stood close to the edge of the platform. Just in front and below him were the glistening tracks.
