biggest pair of goggles he could find, and
green at that, in case he might meet any
green dog in his travels that needed quail.

near when the dog bounced out he would
not observe the goggles at all, and would
be tar along in his repast before he could
call his attention to them.
Sniffles waited, but no uog appeared
At length he grew weary of watching
and waiting, and began to whistle for
him. Then he said, "Come, doggy, doggy

as there was no response, he yelled out

As this failed to fetch him, Sniffles
walked boldly up to the fence and looked
over, and there lay the dog on the front
step summing himself, with both eyes shut
AS Sniftles contemplated him in languio
repose, he wondered why he had been
afraid of him at all, and felt ashamed
that he had been such a coward as tc
run away from him in the first place.
"But I'll give the brute scare, any
how" thought Snitfes. So he walked
boldly through the gate, all goggled as
he was, and gayea littll yell to rouse the
creature up.
The dog, awakened suddenly from q

seemed confused for r,oment. His first
Impression was that he was a performer
in some amateur dog show, aud that q
big pair of opera-glasses were levelled at
him from the gallery. Then he didn't
know but that photographer with a
double camera was endeavoring to take his
dogary type. But it wasn't long before
his intellect came to the rescue. In the
meantime Snif1les was staring as hard as
he could through his goggles, trying to
concentrate in his gaze all the stern in
timidation of which he had ever read
But to his dismay he saw green bulldog
of enormous size raise slowly up, fixing a
pair of green eyes, in which there was
concentrated feroclty softened by CLEAN
aad subdued exultation, full upon his own.
Every thing appeared green to Snitfles at
that moment, especially his attempt to
frighten such a dog. He rapidly made

over the success of the goggles game.
He tried to back out of the gate, but it
fastened with spring when he stepped
in. The dog seemed to appreciate that
fact, for he smiled grimly, showing a
double set of teeth that appeared to
Snif1es' excited fancy like the upper and
lower set he had seen hauled around the
city on a dentists wagon.
The cool deliberation of that dog was
awful. The brute finally
raises up on his hind legs and sort of
whips his fore paws around his body as
if to warm himself up for the work he
had in: hand. Then he slowly advanced
with regular butcher-boy air, AID

air was Immediately filled with fragments
