Gcotlrey, surnamed Winthrop, sat in
the depot at Chicago, waiting for his train
and reading the TrijuHc, when Il squad
ron of street Arabs (inconparable for
sdualUr) thrunged from Il ncighboring
alley, uttcImg hideous cries, accompanied
by inimitahle gestures Of heinous eXulta-
ton, as they tortured Il humble black-and-
tan dog
"You little blackguarls ~ cried Win
throp, stepping outside and confronting
them, adding the inquiry, Whose dog
is that?'
"That audacious Caucasian has the
bravado to interfere with our clique"
tauntingly shrieked the indisputable little
ruffiau, exhibiting combativtness.
"What will you take for him ?" asked
the lenient Geotlrey, ignoring the venial
TRADE.

swered the mbald urchin, grabbing the
crouching dog by the nape.
"You can buy licorice and share with
the indecurous cUaGjutors OF Your con-
demnablc cruelty said Winthrop, pay
