large plaster bulldog that keeps dumb
watch On a shelf in Steinman's saloon, and
gently patted the head Of the bsrkless brute.
| After an unresponsive attempt TO attract the
supposed animals attention, he learned the
unacceptable and unsppreciative character
| of the immobile canine, then his anguish WAC
| pitisble He gave one look st the jaw that
was eternally locked, and the tail that never
| wageed q welcome wag, then sadly boarded
| the Piscerville train and silently rolled away.
| In the gray dawn Of the coming New Years
" ZEN the autumn needles lie thickly Under
the Plscer pine-, he will hear the schoing
ghost of stranded bark, and possibly again
! this wagless tale.
