CHAPTER NINETEEN Continued
She was so excited she could
scarcely take time to order lunch.
Could they drive out to the Silvani's
home tonight? 1t was something
the job-that had to be settled right
away!
Finally Grant got the straight
OF it. Janet had told Bruce Ham
ilton about their adopted family"
and he had been interested. Ham
ilton had made inquiries, carefully
and thoroughly in the Hamilton
manner
One Of the men who had been an
officer in the building corporation
employing Pat Silvani two years
before happened to be a member OF
one Of Hamilton's clubs. He knew
nothing of the workman, but knew
some one who did.
It had taken very little effort to
establish that Pat Silvani was a
skilled, intelligent workman, that
he was trustworthy and reliable.
Bruce Hamilton laughed about it.
ST had to do something for the fell
low" he explained, 'to get my secre-
tary's mind back on my affairs. She
hasn't been thinking or talking
about anythi Q else for a week.
What Han on had done was to
find out that the Claiming store
was about to hire another watch
man for their warehouse in the
block next to the Every Home Of
fee
1t was a steady Job, for which
the main requirements were honesty
and reliability. The pay would be
500 so a week and Pat Silyani could
have a chance at it if he would re-
port to the employment Office Of
the store next day.
Jeffrey Grant heard all this en-
Enthusiastically. why, sure!" he
exclaimed. 1--WE can drive out
there after work and tell him about
it.
Say, that's great! Swell of your
boss to take such an interest. Ill
get the car and stop around at your
Office for you
TT was settled next day that Pat
Il Silvani 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's need to be home with
the children and with $3.50 week
-regularly-they'd get along IA
niOusly.
In fact, the Silvanis seemed so
well cared for, so settled in their
new security that Janet and JET
frey Grant might have had little
reason to pay them another visit
soon, except for one thing. The
circus came to town.
1t was Jeffrey's idea, but Janet
instantly fell in with it. 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 excited?
I thought Rosie's eyes were going
TO pop right out of her head"
Janet laughed, But she's never
seen a circus. Tommy has and he's
told her so much about it I'm al
most afraid she'll be disappointed.
But Rosie wasn't disappointed and
neither was Tommy, who found the
new circus even more miraculous
than the last The day was eXcit-
ing for the children from the mo-
ment they arose in the morning I'M
til. exhausted they fell asleep.
Rosie and Tommy were dressed in
their new clothes and waiting when
Grant stopped the car before the
door. It was a little crowded with
NIL four Of them in the roadster, but
they managed it.
The ride in the automobile was a
treat, particularly for Tommy, who
so seldom left the house. The sight
of the big tent sent Rosie into
squeals of rapture, and from then
on the circus was an assured sue
cess.
They visited all the animals in
the menagerie. They saw the lions
the elephants, the zebras and the
baby camel that let Rosie touch its
velvet nose.
The hippopotamus fascinated
1OulilN ana he scarcely COulU De
moved from before the big cage un-
til Jeffrey mentioned that it was
time for the clowns to appear.
THEN they went into the big
L tent and found their seats. 1t
was a typical circus, beginning
with the impressive pageantry of
a parade depicting a Roman emper-
or's triumphant return from war.
Immediately afterward the three
) rings became alive with action.
There were prancing white horses
with beautifully plumed tails and
names. Acrabats few through
the air, diving from breath-taking
heights.
There were trained seals and a
dancing elephant and girls in slim
tights who rode bareback, leaping
through paper hoops, always to land
in safety, bowling and kissing their
hands TO the audience.
