"Some of those circus chaps think they own the earth," was Tom's comment. "I've a good mind to go to his old circus and have some fun with the outfit."
"Just the thing, Tom! Let us ask the others to go too. I haven't seen a circus in a long time."
"Well, this won't be much to look at. But we may get some fun out of it," added Tom, with a sly wink.
"Yes, there is sure to be fun when you are around," added his younger brother, with a laugh.
When the circus was mentioned at home Dick said he would be glad to go and so did Fred.
"It is Frozzler's Grand Aggregation of Attractions," said Tom, looking over one of the showbills. "The Most Stupendous Exhibition on Earth. Daring bareback riding, trained elephants and a peanut-eating contest, likewise an egg-hunting raffle. All for a quarter, twenty-five cents."
"What is an egg-hunting raffle?" questioned Fred.
"He's fooling you, Fred," answered Sam. "You mustn't believe all Tom says."
"Thus doth mine own flesh go back on me," came from Tom, with an injured look. "Never mind, it is put and carried that we go and see Frozzler's outfit, occupying reserved orchestra chairs, close to the family circle and adjoining the second gallery west."
As soon as it was settled Tom and Sam laid their heads together to have all the fun they could at the circus, "just to get square with that agent," as Sam expressed it.
