Orphan Boy Gives
Circus Performers
A Genuine Thrill
One of 7.l72 Who Attend
Performance as Guests
Seeks to Emulate Deeds
of Aerial Lady in Tights

Take it from Cat" Mulligan. the
~eight-year-old villain Of this tale, the
best part of the circus which was put
on yesterday morning at Madison
Square Garden for the benefit of New
York's orphan children was the aerial
act of the tiny lady in the pink RULES.
Cat watched her b%reathlessly as
she climbed up the swaying rope, way,
way up into the dazzling top OF the
arena and there swung and swirled on
her trapeze so fast one couldn't see her.
Then while the rest Of the performance
tore Its hilarious way through the
brains Of the 7.l72 orphans Cat was
absorbed in calculating his chances Of
getting at that swaying rope. He
scarcely smiled when the clown with
the big feet stopped right in front Of
his box and said, Hello, kids" He
gathered IN the peanuts and popcorn
cakes that were handed out to the chill
dren at the emo Of the performance.
but he gave them only divided atten-
ton.
Cat had 4 reputation to vindicate.
He had earned his name by hard labors
on fire escapes and forbidden picket
fences-and sometimes by the justice
OF his hard young fists. His oppor-
tunlty came as the class stood in double
turn at the exit. Near him dangled
the long thick ROPE that help the
trapezes IN place. The circus attend
ants were busy carrying the orphan
crlpples to their waiting automobiles
"betcha can climbs high as the
lady did," ne muttered to bis chum.
loyalty.
So, Of course, Cat darted out of
line, and IN a jify was shining his
way hl~lariously up that rope.
It was lucky for the story that The
young woman who had charge % Cat"
and his comrades was a gentle little
person.
Come. Jerome, dear" She begged.
when the gasps Of six or more thou
sand orphans called her attention to
Cats" achievement.

The young lady tried bribery.
Jerome dear, don't you want a red
