“Say! Look at that! Did ye see it?” suddenly exclaimed Ferd.

“See what?”

“Why, that man jumped over ten elephants in a line!”

“That’s pretty good,” remarked Jack indifferently.

“Pretty good? I should say it was. I’d like to see you do it.”

“I think I’ll do it,” spoke Jack, who had just arrived at a certain decision.

“What? Jump over ten elephants?” asked his companion, in astonishment. “Say, are you dreamin’?”

“That’s right; I guess I was,” admitted Jack, with a laugh. “I was thinking about something else.”

“Guess you don’t care much about a circus,” said Ferd.

“I’m thinking too much of getting a job,” replied Jack.
