destined to go down in show history as a remarkable achievement.

They sat down to a fine dinner, and Phil entertained the family
for an hour relating his experiences in the show world.

When the hour came for leaving, the farmer urged them to remain,

waving hat and apron respectively.

As the rig reached a hill, some three miles away, Phil and Billy
turned to survey their work.

"Looks like a fire, doesn't it, Billy?"

"It sure does. It would call out the fire department if there

show comes this way next season. It is a standing advertisement
for the Great Sparling Shows. But I suppose Mr. Snowden would
say it wasn't much of a job."
