Here's a short story:

CHAPTER XIII.—LEO MAKES A CHANGE. 

Leo stared at the circus treasurer in amazement. 

“For stealing two thousand circus tickets?” he repeated. 

“Exactly, young man.” 

“I am innocent.” 

“I don’t believe Leo would steal a pin,” put in Natalie Sparks, who had just come up. 

“That’s not for you to decide, Miss Sparks.” said Giles sharply. “We found evidence against you in your trunk, young man. You may as well confess.” 

“What evidence?” asked Leo, bewildered. 

The circus treasurer mentioned the red strips. 

“I never placed them there,” declared Leo. “Somebody has been tampering with that trunk.” 

“That’s too thin,” sneered Giles. 

“Of course it’s too thin,” put in Snipper, who was watching the scene with an ill-concealed smile of triumph on his face. 

Leo looked at the gymnast sharply. Then he suddenly bounded toward Snipper and ran him up against a pile of boxes. 

“You scoundrel! This is some of your work! I can see it in your face.” 

He choked Snipper until the man was red in the face. 

“Let—let me go!” gasped the second-rate gymnast finally. 

“Let him go, Dunbar,” ordered Giles, and caught Leo by the collar. 

The noise of the trouble had spread, and now Barton Reeve appeared on the scene. 

“What’s the meaning of all this?” he demanded. 

He was quickly told by Natalie Sparks. 

“I do not believe Leo is guilty, in spite of the red strips found in the trunk,” he said. 

He talked the matter over with Giles, and finally Leo, Giles, and Barton Reeve went off to interview the manager.  (End of story)
