Good work, old man! cried the ring-master as he helped put the bath robe about Joe.
gpt
Great work! How'd you do it?
human
Oh--I--I just did it!
gpt
You didn't tell me you were going to pull off a stunt like that.
human
I--I didn't know, myself, whether or not I could do it, said Joe, as he started for his dressing room.
gpt
And I didn't want a failure.
human
Good boy! said Jim.
gpt
I guess I didn't make any mistake raising your salary, Joe!
human
If you'll give me more money I'll try for a better record yet,
gpt
Say, what are you trying to do--become a millionaire?
human
Oh, I can always use more money,
gpt
We don't see much of your money,
human
Why should you?
gpt
Oh, Joe! I congratulate you! cried Helen, as soon as she saw him.
human
It was wonderful!
gpt
Glad you think so, he replied.
human
But I'm not done yet.
gpt
Are you going to try for a longer time?
human
That's what I am. I don't feel very hopeful about it though. I am about to the limit, I guess.
