This so annoyed Mr. Snarl, that be
had Harry jerhed up for "a nuisance. -
and fined ten dollars. Harry paid the
money but resolved Oh revenge. The
next morning the following advertise
ment appeared in the Heiald:
WANTED-At Forsyth street, two Bull
Dogs, and four span of pups. For full
bloOded Dogs the highest price will be
paid. Call between 1 and 6, p. IN.
JAMES SNARL.
We need not say that the advertise
ment was inserted by Harry. HIS rea-
son for making the calls between 1 and
8, p. m, was because Mr.. Snarl was
always out at that hour, taking an airing
around the Battery.
At the hour specified, dogs and pups
might have been seen going up the Bow
cry to Grand, to Forsyth, and up For
syth to the mansion occupied by Mr..
Snarl.

there was no denying the advertisement.
She accordingly told Syksie 10 60 into
