hasttime 10 do it is after the older dogs
have been playing at the theatres

..Just ike rs. murmured Through
to himself. Then he meekly asked:
"How long will it take TO train the
new ones?"
"WeIl," said the woman, meditative-

"Good evening-please excuse my IN

meant" said Through, rising abruptly.
The woman saw him to the door, ana
said confidentially:
"Be thankful you're on the second

so long to learn new tune that he
makes us almost crazy with his prac-

children
"None"
I'm glad of that; told the landlord
hat if he let in family with children

body had chatted and danced, cake.
ices, coffee and wine had been served,
and another dance had just begun
when the bell of Ebrough'S own door
rang. The servant opened it, and Eb-

arrival, whoever it might be, found in
his nall Professor and Mile Raflino
with dogs, drum, rug and all. Worse
yet, fully half of his guests saw them.
"We've just got home from STOP
