The incident of seeing Dick so u'n expectedly for a few minutes, bai disturbed Mary far more than tin preceding experience of the evening with Martin.

She tried to efface trom her thoughts by recalling th words Martin had said--the memoi, of his earnest face, the surprise tha his words had given her. She stl doubted his sincerity, somewhat had to work late the evening, so her engagement to drlv with Martin was postponed until the following night. She pleaded a head ache to avoid going out to dlnne with Poster. This marathon of din Ing with wealthy suitors was too haustlng to be even, sh thought.

Although a drizzling rain in the morning kept many away who would have come to the clly for clrcra. afternoon performance brought oat a crowd that filled three-quarters ol the seating capacity under the big top.

And again in the evening there was i large crowd on hand. The verdict of everyone seemed to 6e thit Charles Sparks, the master showman, who has visited Marietta many times with his circuses, had organ- ized lor the present season one of the cleverest tented shows on tour. What Downie Bros, show lacks in size is made up in the quality of the acts that feature the two hour program offered. A street parade over the business district at noon had given the crowds that gathered a idea of what was in store at tiie fair grounds but it is safe to say that few expected as high class circus performance as it was their pleasure to witness here Saturday. The Downie Bros, show that piayed here last season had been rejuvenated and a good job was done of it.

In the flrst place It has been nearly doubled in size and now has a menagerie that in many respects creditable as that to be found in UK i-irger circuses.
