the ring-master.

"Yes. I don't want what happened to Benny to happen to me. I'll finish
out the season with you, of course, but after that----"

"What are you going to do?" asked Tracy.

"I'm planning some new turns," Joe said. And those of you who are
interested in them and in Joe Strong are invited to follow his fortunes
in the next volume of this series, to be called: "Joe Strong on the
High Wire; Or, Motor-Cycle Perils of the Air."

"Well, we sure will hate to lose you," said Jim Tracy, "but I'm glad
Benny will get well and come back to us."

"So am I," said Joe softly.

Somewhere in the circus tent a bugle blew. At once all over the circus
grounds there were signs of activity.

"Pretty nearly time to start," observed the ring-master.

"Yes," agreed Joe. "And I'm going to try for the long record this
afternoon--as long as when I was in the reservoir with diver Tom Rand."

"Good!" exclaimed Jim Tracy. "I hope you do it."

A little later Joe, in his red, scaly suit, was in the glass tank with
the goldfish and the trained seal, while all about were throngs of
wondering persons marveling at the endurance powers of the boy fish.

And so, for a time, we will take leave of Joe Strong.

The End.
