Verman makes ti"t1ecided hit, but Rod- erick Magsworth Ritts; Jr., says the show is a failure. Penrod asks him if he is a relation of Rena Magsworth, a murderer.

Arrived upon the populous and fee• tive scene of the dog and pony show, he first turned his attention to the brightly decorated booths which sur- rounded the tent. The cries of the Peanut venders, of the popcorn men, of the toy balloon 'sellers. the stirring music of the band, playing before the performance to attract a crowd; the shouting of excited children and the barking of the dogs within the tent, all sounded exhilat'atingly in Penrod's ears and set his blond atttugle.
