 there right after work and tell him about it.. Say, that's great! Swell of your boss to take such
 an interest. I'll get the car and
 stop around ut your office for | you"
 It was settled next day that Pat
 silyani was to have the job. He
 went to work that very night. ] Pats voice choked up when he
 tried to tell Janet how grateful
 he was. Rose could stop going nights to scrub. She'd need to be home with the children and with | $22.60 weck--regularly--they'd
 get along famously.
 In fact the Silvanis seemed 50 well cared for, so settled in their
 new security that Janet and Jef- frey Grant might have had little
 reason to pay them another visit
 soon. except for one thing. The circus came to town.
 It was Jeffrey's idea but Janet instantly fell in with 1t. There
 were to be two Saturday perform
 ances--one in the afternoon. and
 one in the evening. They made all the plans. even to consulting Mrs Silvani, before Tommy and Rosie heard the news. ''' "Lord!" Jeffrey Grant said, "did you ever see two kids so ex- cited? l thought Rosie's eyes
 wsss Ssas going to pop right out of her
 Janet laughed. But she's never seen q circus. Tommy has and he's told her SC, much about 1t I'm
 almost afraid she'll be disa ppoint- od."
 But Rosie wasn't disappointed and neither was Tommy who found the new circus even more
 miraculous than the last. The
 day was exciting for the children from the moment they arose in fell asleep. Rosie and Tommy were both dressed in their new clothes and waiting when Grant stopped the car before the door. It was Q
 little crowded with all four of them
 In the roadster but they managed
 1t. The ride in the automobile was q treat, particularly for Tommy, who so seldom left tho house.. The sight of tho big tent sent Rosie into squeals of rapture and from
 then on tho circus was an assured success.
 They visited all the animals in
 the menagerIe. They saw the Hons. tho elephants tho zebras, and the baby camel that let Rosie
 touch its velvety nose. The hip
 popotamus fascinated Tommy and he could scarcely be moved from
 before the big cage until Jeffrey
 mentioned that 1t was time for the clowns to. appear.
 Then they went Into the big tent and found their seats. It was a typ ical circus, beginning with the im- prcssive pageantry of 6 parade de-
 picting . Roman cmperor's trium-
 phant return from war. Imme- diately afterward the three rings
 became alive with action. There were prancinG white horses with
 beautifully plumed tails and names
 Acrobats flew through the air, diving from breath-takin heights.
 There were trained seals and n dancing elephant and girls In slim tights who rode bareback. ieaping through paper hoops, always to | sss 0esANsSt VVWsA& ANQ At33tHB their hands to the audience. There was tho man who went into cage with IF snarling Hons and cowed them in performing. All the while the band played and tho ringmas- ter cracked his whip and boys wearing white caps went up and down the aisles shouting "Pop-corn and peanuts! Popcorn and pea nuts'r
 Rosie and Tommy each had a
 bag of popcorn and peanuts. oh, yes, 1t was q wonderful sircus! It was too bad when 1t was all over at last but even circuses must end. Still there was one sntisfac- tion for Rosie and Tommy sil- vani---there was nothing on tho entire lot that they had missed. The roadster made return Journey to tho Silvani home and the children were still talking, tired but exuberant. when Janet
 and Jeffrey said good-night. Yes.
 1t had been great circus. A great day indeedi

 natural u little later for Janet to lnd hHegHoif faVinE Jeffrey Grant
