 of the circus for you so you can chase and huh well put it in my hand then that's the boy are you ready now I'm going to throw a real far here it goes one two all right get on your mark get set go almost gotta be 40 at the ground that time regs you're fast as lightning oh hello mr. Bradley I've got something for you Jerry yeah what is it well I was just over at the office wagon and look what the mailman left for you a postcard no it isn't a postcard either what kind of a card is it it's a notification card Jerry what does that mean well it says they're on the card there's a registered letter for you over at the post office and you'll have to go and sign for it well who's it from it doesn't say that Jerry I guess you'd better go over to the post office and find out I better go now it might be important yes it might want to come with me you know yes I think I'll have time before the matinee I'll walk over with you Jerry oh you want to come to do I'm never in my life saw a dog that was as smart as rags I do believe he understands every word that's spoken you're a clever little pup well come on man no not you I mean mr. Bradley you wait here till we come back he's a good dog now I'm ready come on Jerry why rag now just look at the way he sits there and turns his head from one side to the other oh that's just the way he thinks if he acts cute like that all weekend and take him along with me you're lucky to have a nice dog like that Jerry no I know it say mr. Bradley yes you were saying last night you thought you knew who that escaped convict was the one we saw the picture of on the poster back in the last time we play I've got a pretty good idea but I'm not positive say I can look at the poster again in this post office do they have those posters in every post office as a rule if they have one of the same man I'll study it real good to make sure funny I thought I knew who it was still I figured for sure I'd seen that man someplace there there it is right up there at the corner what why the post office oh sure you'll be surprised Jerry when you find out who I think that escape contract is who do you think it is I don't want to say now wouldn't be fair I may be wrong about it and it wouldn't be very nice of me to name a man who was innocent yeah I guess that's right I'll just wait until I can make sure and then I'll notify the police and they can come and get him it must be awful to know the police are looking for you all the time yes Jerry the mental suffering of the transgressor is very great well here we are you go ahead Jerry okay I guess you'll have to inquire about your letter over at that window right here yes that's the one now just show them and that's card you have I look around for those posters something I can do for you son yes sir I well this card says I've got a letter here let me see it yes sir you have a registered letter I'll get it see the poster mr. Bradley no not yet here you are young man just sign your name right here Jerry you can there you are thank you and here's your letter look at mr. Bradley it's from my lawyer your lawyer well that sounds mighty important I mean it's from mr. Grayson you know he's finding out about the safety deposit box my dad had to be sure we know I'll see what he says I hope it's good news do you mind letting me in on it you know I'd like to share your good fortune with you sure I'll read it it says dear Jerry haven't promised to let you know the results of your appeal to the courts regarding the safety deposit box of your father's it is what regret that I have to inform you that the case has been postponed due to an overcrowded calendar the appeal has been set up to the next session now isn't that too bad well I don't understand what it means it means that you'll just have to wait a little while longer I take it there were too many other cases ahead of yours oh gee I I thought for sure mr. Grayson would be able to open the box and find out what's in it it is too bad there's more to the letter Jerry go ahead and read it I will do everything to get an early hearing and report to you my findings as I fully realize how anxious you are to learn of the contents of the box please convey my very best wishes to all of my circus friends especially bumps and mr. Bradley of course here that well now that was nice of him to remember me now he's a mighty fine young man that mr. Grayson and then he says drop me a line Jerry I should like very much to hear from you always your friend Richard Grayson well better luck next time Jerry at least the appeal to open the box wasn't refused yeah I guess that's one way to look at it but I've been waiting so long already golly I know Jerry but you'll get to find out what's in the box yet are you ready you know I've got to get back to the lot and get made up won't be long before the matinee now didn't you want to look at that poster the man who's wanted for escaping from jail I looked for it but it's not up in this post office I take it they change those posters every now and again but why don't you have someone about it now that's an idea Jerry the postmaster most likely keeps them in his office if they're not out here but no no I haven't time come on maybe you can come over after the show yes maybe so say look what is it Jerry why can't we go down this street and across that lot it'll be a shortcut that's a good idea how long do you think I'll have to wait until the case comes up in the court again oh I don't know didn't say in the letter did it no I don't think it'll be very long maybe a month or so golly that long well to be truthful Jerry I really couldn't say maybe it'll be sooner oh let's cut across right here as the path goes right over to our lot he's right over to just about where our wagon is lucky I thought of this shortcut huh I should say doesn't the big top looks well from here what do you mean by that Jerry oh I don't know I just love to look at all the tents and the banners and flags yes it is a pretty sight ever since I was real little I've always wanted to be with a circus maybe it's cuz I heard mom and dad talk about it so much you're a true son of a sawdust trail Jerry sometimes I can hardly believe that I really belong I'd say you have a pretty good foothold in this business you know Jerry it wouldn't surprise me if someday your name would become a household word a household word I mean someday you might become a big star with a circus and have your name on big billboards in every city in the country wouldn't that be wonderful looks like it's in the cards Jerry a boy that loves the circus as much as you do is bound to make a name for himself I sure hope so hey look there's that for the little Italian clown sure enough and it's washing clothes as usual he doesn't talk much does he know him don't you oh sure but he never talks to me I only say hello to him whenever I see him he keeps pretty much to himself that's true the friendly enough but we'll sort of reserved and there's major Mike hey wait did you see that when the major walked by Bepo splash some water on him from from his wash tub he looked at he's getting mad he better not get too angry with Bepo that little fellow is just as fiery as the major ever was he just won't take anything from anybody let's stand your by the side of the stand and watch him pretty fast when a body can't walk across the spot without getting to the skin with a lot of dirty soap water who's crazy don't you dare call me crazy because I know you did and I won't stand for it do you hear aren't they look that way Jerry walking back here in the yard as you have washing your old clothes back here in fact more so I'm a feature infection on this show that's something we try not to do around the circus it doesn't pay to mix in and take side you know
