"That wouldn't do for the stage; you'd have to take a better name."
"I'd take any name; fact is, I don't like Jotham myself."
"It isn't romantic enough," said Charlie. "The manager wouldn't have anybody of that name. It sounds too countrified."
"What sort of a name would do?" asked the boy.
"Lorenzo Leon would do pretty well."
"That's splendid!" said Jotham, admiringly.
"You see, it would look well on the bills. The famous bareback rider. Lorenzo Leon, who has just been imported from his native Italy at large expense, will perform some of his wonderful feats in the ring."
"I'd like that first rate," said Jotham, "only I ain't from Italy."
"No matter; no one will know that. Now, if you want to come in and take a lesson I'll give you one."
