The Circus Has Come to Town!

Ihe Circus Has Come to loWn!
s'Hurrah" shouted the crowd OF
people, hurrying across the field to
the ticket office in front of large
tent. '"rhe circus has come to town!
AS the people were buying their
tickets, barefoot girl with latter
ed dress stood watching the merry
mob. She wished she could see the
lions and clowns, but she needed all
her moneySto support her invalid
mother.
A little boy and girl, dressed in
quaint clothes, walked up to buy their
tickets, noticed the barefoot girl who
was standing nearby.
F ;. Would you like to go in with u.s."
asked the girl, who was older than
the boy.
II would love to co. exclaimed the
barefoot child, cheering up.
Mother gave US some spare money
and it is just enough to buy ticket
for you," she said. "Give me three
tickets, please"
So they went into the tent and sat
aown on long bench.
Here they start!' cried the boy.
The parade passed the long bench
on which they sat. The elephants,
the tigers, the clowns and last of all
came mule dressed in pants. How
the children laughed!
See those acrobats!"
Hear the steam piano."
Look"
"How beautiful, and great, and
finew exclaimed the barefoot girl,
for she had never seen circus be-
fore. She didn't know what a lion
was. She seemed as if she were in
| Paradise
At last the big show was over and
the children walked out of the tent
hand in hand, talking of the tricks
and stunts they had seen.
''Please come and see my mother
said the barefoot girl. ''I'm sure she
will be glad to see YOU
''We will be happy to co." said the
two together.
So they went to the cottage and the
barefoot girl opened the door and
walked in, leaving the two without.
/ II have a big surprise for you
mother" she said. e
"What is the surprise?" asked the
woman.
Look" said the girl as she opened
the door.
ooh, what sweet children" criec
the woman. what are your names?'
"Our names are Mary and Robert
!! DeLoan," they said.
| s.DeLoanp' said the woman, very
much surprised. "Are you related *
4 Herbert DeLoan?'
He is our father, they answered
/ Your father!" she exclaimed
'.Then you are my niece and nephew
/ Herbert DeLoan is my long lost broth
er. Go home and tell him you have
found me-"
| So the children went home and tolt
their father about the new-founc
aunt. That very afternoon an auto
mobile drove up to the door of th'
cottage and the wonan's brothe:
stepped out of it. They were sool
in each others arms.
The woman and her girl rode bacl
with the man and found the children
and their mother waiting for them.
The woman lived with her brothe
and happiness brought back he
health.

"The Feud Girl" is from an origi-

picturesque country, with its hills,
waterfalls, cabins. The photography.
too, is excellent.

There are situations, three of them
especially, that make themselves felt.

City Comrades.
Dublin, May 2.-Rebels of the rank
land file followed the example uf their
leaders and confessed the cause of the
Irish republic was lost by laying
down their arms at the foot of the
Parnell monument in Sackville street
and surrendering to British troops.
About $50 of them, who had fought
for week in this central area, march
: ed out from their strongholds under
the white flag and gave themselves
up. A few irreeoncilables continued
sniping from their lairs. They were
hard to locate on roofs and among
rrafters of buildings nearby.
Soon afterward a rebel lieutenant
wearing heather green uniform and
carrying white flag came in with a
guard of ten men from the adjoining
county of Meath to learn the truth
about rumors Of general surrender.
The party marched off to the castle
and learned from J. H. Pearce, who
was named provisional president of
the Irish republic, that the movement
had collapsed and was advised to re-
@sist no longer. i
The lieutenant and his escort then
started out to parley with the rebels
in the country districts in an effort to
induce them to lay down their arms.

of the uprising, is said by government
officials to be prisoner, wounded, in
