Hos1 the Circus Came TO Jack
and Dorothy.

Jack and Dorothy were very sad. The reason was
that the circus coming to Globevie, and they
could not go. They could not even go to see the
street parade in the morning. Jack and Dorothy
lived out in the country Their father was dead,
and they very poor. There was a mortgage
the farm, and their mother told them she could
not spare the money to let them go, because il
they did not save every cent they might lose their
home
Jack and Dorothy willing to give up going

it had to in strawberry time. All the farm
round about raised rawberries and there was
a cannery which bought all they raised. The her-
ries were just ripe now. and Jack and Dorothy
could each make dollar day picking them. They
began as soon it light in the morning and
picked till it too dark to any longer. 1t
made them very tired, stopping in the hot sun
all day. but dollar day is good deal of money
for such little girl and boy to earn, and they were
glad to get it If they went to GlObeville to see
the parade 1t would take half days wages from
each. and that would mean dollar lost.
Their mother felt bad It they did
She told them just how it was and then said that
they should settle II themselves. Jack and Dorothy

Back of the home of the North Wind where old
Father Winter has his icicle shop and sno"nake
mill and sits the whole year round thinking up
storms for his three months reign there was
tiny crack in the sky CT ice where sunbeam once
struggled through.
Il is the special business OF sunbeams, you KNOW
TO hunt out dark corners and cold places, and this
adventurous small Sunbeam had found its way at
last to the very heart OF the codest darkest spot
in ali the world. What IL saw there made it trem-
ble Sunbeam as # was and it flashed quickly back
10 the home Of the Sun tell Of the terrible sght
For wrapped in sno Rfakes, with her head on a
heap of icicles fast in frozen sleep, lay Spring,
tender beautiful Spring, that the Sun himself had
mt 10 sleep the June before undera shower OF rose
leaves and had been searching for again these
many weeks Il was the first Of March. and the
snow Was yelling from the meadows and the leaf
buds were growing restless in their furry tree
cradles but nothing could be done for them until
spring could be found and brought back to rule
her kingdom.
When the great Sun heard the little Sunbeam 8
tale he set about at devising some means 70
rescue his poor frozen Queen from old Father
Winters clutches. No number Of ordinary Sun
beams were enough TO rouse her, that ne kne"
we'll SO at last ne decided to put all the love and
warmth of his great glowing heart into a single
