The Heroes

• Watchlist

Day succeeded day in one happy sequence for Plump and Runt. Occasionally they caught the drift of their teacher's meaning; often they did not, but what matter? Had they not beanshooters, tacks and other little things with which to annoy him? Was not Ray the object of their youthful passion, also a member of their class, and did they not rob every orchard for her delectation? One day the circus arrived in town and then began the trouble. Fascinated by the tales of the flashy agent, Ray vanishes and Plump and Runt are left alone. They take up the trail and at last locate the circus in a distant town. To their horror they recognize Ray as the High Diver as she stands poised for her terrific drop through space. As she hits the water her lovers also dive in and pandemonium reigns. Down comes the tent, over goes the tank, and the villainous circus man counts more stars than ever were in the firmament as the reunited trio set out for their peaceful country home.
