as hn burst into his fathers yard followed by
hi. dog Colt Ills brother Walter, 4 youth
Of eighteen. WIS standing 10 the door
What dog do you mean ? " lac asked.

" no. indeed. said Henry, its that hate
full beast of Miss llarison's- Fido."
"Why, what did he do
" Flew at Colt just now rs if he would tear
him TO pieces
Really" said Walter. smiling, 81" should
suppose, Judging from his size. that Colt was
quite able to take care of himself in the
aiiay-hc is only about onc-third larger
than Fido. But where did this terrible as
,ault take placs -
81 In Miss IIarrison's garden was up
there Just now with Colt
And did you take him inside That
was wrong You ought to have left hun in
the lane. Fido, no doubt, thought him AN
intruder, IS indeed he was"

his way, wouldn't hep"

towards Miss lIMrisons.
That he could" said Joe.
" How would like to see him do it,, said
Henry " Yes, ia give anything to have
