Huddled in the corner, frightened out of their wits were the puppies! He lifted them out by the back of their necks and placed them on the hood. “You scamps!” he said, “You hid in there while I was getting some tools, and I shut you in because I did not see you!”

Soon the children heard that the circus dogs were found! They came rushing back with their pennies! In a few minutes the garage was as noisy as THE BIG TENT! Such clapping! Such shouting! Such barking!

When it was all over the children went home. The little lame boy got his present. The puppies had a good supper. Then Jimmy took them for a nice long walk. Across the street was THE BIG BLACK CAT!

But the twins paid no attention to her. They were too happy and full and sleepy.
