"
"Maybe you could give him work on the farm," suggested Aunt Sarah to
her husband in a whisper. "I don't like him to be with a circus. And
he was so good to Freddie that we ought to do something for him."
"He's too young to work on a farm," replied Uncle Daniel. "And he
might be in a worse place than this circus. But we must be starting
back home. It's getting late."
Freddie was hugged and kissed by his sisters, mother and aunt, and
Mrs. Bobbsey insisted on making Frank a little present of money, for
his kindness to Freddie. Frank did not want to take it, but finally he
did.
"I'll buy some new shoes with it," he said.
"I shall tell my husband how good you were to find Freddie," said Mrs.
Bobbsey, "and I am sure he will want to do something for you. I wish
you would write to me once in a while. We should like to keep track of
you."
"I will," promised the boy, as he put down the Bobbsey address. "I
expect to be with this circus all summer," he said, as Freddie and the
other children bade him good-bye.

party, the children talking on the way of the wonderful things they
had seen in the circus, while the older folks spoke of Freddie being
lost, and found again, by Frank Kennedy.
