A nail-biting adventure that takes place in a circus.

Book Excerpt

ed the leader of the circus men. "But if you caught the lion how is it you were up in the house when we rode up?"

"Daniel! Daniel!" shrieked Mrs. Hawkins, still in the window. "Come up again! Leo didn't fasten him tight enough an' he's gettin' away!"

While this was going on, Daniel Hawkins again came out, this time followed by his wife.
