us lessons," said Snap.
"Maybe," answered the doctor's son. "We'll have to take our chances."
Reaching Rallings, the boys hurried at once to the studio of the
photographer. They found Mr. Jally taking a family group of father,
mother and three sons, and had to wait until the sitting was over.
While they waited they watched the crowds on the street.
"Going to be plenty of folks here to see the circus," was Snap's
comment, and his words proved true, folks flocking in from every
quarter of the surrounding districts.
When Mr. Jally was at liberty he read Dr. Reed's letter with interest.
"The doctor mentioned this to me when he was in Rallings last
Saturday," said the photographer. "I said I'd do what I could for
you lads. I am sorry it is circus day, as I am likely to be busy.
But I'll give you all the time I can spare."
"We can come to-morrow, too," said Shep. "We are going to stay
in Rallings over night."
"Good! I think I can give you quite a few pointers in that time.
