At this they both set up a bowl of disappointment and Mary, who would willingly have taken them if she could, took them to the kitchen and gave them each a bone with which to con- sole themselves. Then she bid to run off as fast as she could to catch up the others.
Snip and Stop finished their bones and felt a bit more frisky and Snip, who always did the suggesting, said, "We must go to the circus Snop. Shall we go and pretend that we are performing dogs and then they may let as in ?

"exclaimed Mary, "Didn't I tell you to stay at home?" but they both licked her hand and locked up in her face so piteously begging to be forgiven that her father said, "If they will be very quiet they may stay Mary. They can sit on the empty chair next to you."
After this you may be sure that Ship and Shop were on their best behaviour. They hardly moved and watched the performance breath- losely so that when it was over Mary's father said, "They have been as good as gold. Perhaps it was rather hard

They trotted off and before very long came to the place where the circus was being held. There was a big tent and numbers of people were going in at the one end but when the dogs tried to squeeze in too a man at the entrance pushed them back and told them to go home.

That means that we shall go too, doesn't it?” Snip asked Snop.
"I should think so," his brother replied, When they say" all "it must mican Mary and her father and mother and both of us and Suorum."
"I don't see how Snorum can go," said Snip, Unless Mary carries her."
Snip and Shop, who knew quite well that they should have stayed at home, were only too glad to be forgiven and walked sedately back again with Mary.

Why is a punctual man like the Ietter M.
Because be is always in time.
He got up on his hind legs and began to dance and Snop soon follow- ed his example. They looked so funny, bobbing about together that several people began to laugh. The HONGKONG
man at the door turned round and when he saw them said, "Oh it's a couple of the performing dogs. Get along the other side."
At this, they flew round to the other Shorum was only a tiny kitten and
