 Jerry of the circus it pleases me to hear that my boy rags has won the affection of all of us a fine trooper rags a Mighty fine trooper I He wants the audience to know that although he didn't work with bumps tonight. He's right here in the padroom ready to perform That might be he sure likes to hear applause. He's getting to be a real You bet you know Jerry rags reminds me of a little dog my son had when he was a slip of a lad Have you got a boy you bet I have a grown man now, but still a boy to me I didn't know that is he a circus performer to know no Jerry my boy is a lawyer a lawyer Collie you must be smart or is he why yeah, he's a He has his office in a big city. Well, don't you ever see him? No, I haven't seen him for some time Oh, here comes a bandini. I guess they're gonna work with a net again tonight I didn't notice that act this afternoon. Did they have to use the net? Sure they did. There was we Well, that's dangerous. Hello. Hi, Jerry. Hello Jerry. Good evening, senior. Good evening gentlemen Are you gonna work with a net again tonight? I guess we will have to we cannot get a new wire until we get to the next town I have sent a telegram for one, but it takes time to get it to it I think better. We should go on without the net. We look like how you call it Amateurs better amateurs and fall and maybe break a neck We cannot take so big a chance what seems to be the trouble with your wire gentlemen He's only rusty in one spot. Maybe the wire holds for a long time. You cannot tell that's just it You can't tell so it's better to be careful. Why do you keep on talking Carlos about not using the net? Alfredo and me will not work without it so that is settled. How did your wire get rusty? I do not know It has been damp in this country and no matter how we watch it and care for it the rest It has got stuck. It will not spoil the app to use a net until we can get the new wire I have not used a net since I was boy just learning to walk on a type white so it cannot be helped Come now. Maybe tomorrow. We will have the new wire already. Look at this time for us. Put on your shoes Why don't you work one at a time instead of all going out on the wire once what and not do the bicycle and the Chair trick without those tricks. We would look like children the people have paid to see the bandini's perform and we will perform Yes, he's right Jerry. The bandini's never leave out one trick. It will be all right with the net underneath us Come on. I'm not so sure it's bravery Jerry Sometimes a desire for the spectacular lens itself to fool hardiness. Yeah, I guess you're right There they go out on the wire I'm gonna sure step and slower than she usually does Hello, Johnny and Jerry. What's so interesting here in the padroom tonight? Oh, hello bumps. We're watching them indeed. They're working on a rusty wire bump Yes, I know Oh gee rags. I didn't notice you did I? Well, I'm sorry pardon. It didn't mean to hurt you feeling that dog is your sensitivity. Yes, he is All three of them are out on the wire now seems to be holding them all right now They're gonna do the right across with a bicycle. I hope they get through without a mishap. They probably will Calling a kid That's one of their tricks over they seem to be working faster now. I guess the wire is all right I'm glad I'm not up there in that rusty wire that kind of an act takes cool Would you be scared? It's me trying to fool you Jerry. Yes, I would they're going to do that chair trick now Collie, I mean, I'll be glad when it's over. I'm getting nervous just watching them It's a good trick just for the boys to balance that chair in their shoulders let alone having Carmen doing a handstand on it Yes, it is what it's one of the best wire stunts. I believe I've ever seen They're getting out in the middle now Common's getting up now. She's standing straight up Just look at that girl she's sure clever all three of them are real What is it Jerry the wire see it it's starting unravel. You're right. It is and right under them It'll snap sure it'll break right now. It's a good thing that net is under them They sure took those balls pretty I think that chair didn't look to me as though it landed right on him Well Alfredo and Carmen seem to be all right, what do we do Bob? There's nothing we can do now that they're bringing them out here We'll take them right over to our wagon You brought them by the feet Johnny, okay, Alfredo now get hold of his shoulders Do not get excited Carmen. Please once you will help me Okay, now Johnny you got him. Yes. Yes, we will take him to his cot in the way He will be all right sure Carmen. Come on regs You run ahead Jerry and put a blanket down on Carlos's car. Okay What happened Alfredo? He was hit with the chair just a good bump on the head, but he will get over it Yeah, I hope there's no broken bone. Oh Carmen. Do not talk like that. He has not heard so bad He's unconscious Carmen now. He'll most likely come out of it soon Well if that chair hit him on the head after falling 30 feet, he's got a pretty bad bump I do not think it hit him so hard. It just knocked against him. Oh here. We are easy now Alfredo and I'll go up first. Yeah. Yeah, you're ready in there Jerry That's a good boy Carlos is hurt now easy easy with him now That's it lay him down easy. Oh Carlos Carlos it is Carmen I'll go and see if mr. Randall has been notified and find out about getting a doctor. Thank you, Bob Yeah, be right back get some water Jerry. Okay. There's some in this jug. Oh Carlos Carlos wake up You must be quiet Carmen. It does Carlos no good if you are so excited. You're some water here put some on this towel now We put it on his head So he will be all right. You will see didn't I once bounce out of the net and was unconscious, too No, the wire the wire Yes Carlos you are all right Carmen Alfredo lies still Carlos. Is he coming to mr. Bradley? Yes. He's coming out of it now What what is it? Oh? My head the wire broke Carlos. Are you all right? We are all right Carlos Just rest easy soon. There will be a doctor come. Ah, I will be all right I know now the wire Carlos but the chair it hit you on the head. Let me sit up. I feel better now. Oh, maybe it's better Do you lie still? No, no, I will be all right. Have you got any broken bones Carlos? Yes Carlos look and see if there is something more wrong. I hardly think it is more than that a hit on the head Is there something I can do? Oh Jerry so so you saw it, huh? Uh-huh, so you will take my place now. Yes Carlos you're not hurt bad. Oh, he is joking already with Jerry. He is fine My arms are good. My legs are good. I'm lucky. Yes, you are lucky. We had the net under it Yes, we would have been killed all of us I will never hear the last of it that I didn't want in that no we will say no more of it I do not think I need a doctor. I've had pumps like this on my top head before in your good physical condition There's a little doubt that you will rally quickly. What do you mean? Carlos will get over quick. I would go up and do the trick right now That's the spirit you performers believe in going right back for more, don't you? That is the only way He must work tomorrow. Maybe if he wouldn't he would become afraid and never work on the wire again That's the way your plane pilots do and that is right Jerry It is so easy to lose your nerve after an accident. How is it? Okay, boss Well, the patient's sitting up already. There is nothing wrong with me bumps. I just want to sleep I took a little nap. Are you sure there's nothing wrong? He seems to be coming around all right bump. Sure I was only fooling. I wanted to be carried to the wagon so I wouldn't have to walk I guess we know if you were fooling or not Carlos You were how you say out like a light. Oh, Mr. Randall is sending a doctor right over to look at you Carlos I eat easy waste of time. Yes, but it's better to be absolutely sure Carlos You know, we may have a bad night ahead of us. What do you mean bumps? You mean about the trestle being too weak to allow our train to cross that river? Yes, a mr. Randall just received another telegram from the division superintendent of the railroad Saying that they would not route any trains over the Horn River route until they could fix the bridge That is bad. What does mr. Randall intend to do about it this morning when he got the first telegram He said he was going on through. He said he was going to play the next time regardless You know, that's what he said when he got this last telegram But how can we cross the river if the bridge won't hold the train? He wired a hit and told him to try to reinforce the bridge. That sounds like a big order Well, he insists on going as far as the bridge anyway, then if it doesn't look safe He said he'd find another way to get through I for one have absolute confidence in mr. Randall's judgment Well, I guess we'd best get back for the last walk around Johnny. Hey, it is almost time Will you take it easy Carlos? I'll help Alfred it with your packing tonight. Are you ready Jerry coming Bumps? Thank you Bumps. Well Jerry, I guess you had some excitement tonight. Yes, I'll see But I'll bet there'll be a whole lot more when we get to that broken trestle tonight
