LITTLE CIRCUS RIDER
Jim and Bertha are boyhood sweethearts—Bertha, budding into
womanhood, has higher ambitions than the simple country life,
and yearned for the big city. It is circus day and all was
excitement. Reginald Black, a city chap, calls to take her to
the big circus. Jim is sent by her father to keep an eye on them.
She is persuaded to leave with Black for the City. She leaves a
note for her father telling him that she and Black are to be married
when they reach the city. Upon arriving she finds the insincerity of
Black's promise and realizing her mistake slips away and applies to the
circus manager for work. She is given a chance. Jim secures a position as hostler with the same show that he may look after Bertha.
Upon making her entrance to the ring she is hurt in a fall—picked up
and cared for by Jim, who takes her home where she is nursed back
to health.
A picture of unusual heart interest, yet carrying many amusing
features to thrill and rivet the attention throughout the story.
