with great interest, cooking his head on
one side, and glanoing up at his diminu-

to wait for an invitation TO
Introduce himself, But the poodle lg-
nored him, and was passing on in his
majesty without second glance. This

from his dog, gave the poor little fell
low slap side of the head, and then ran
to the young lady TO restore her poodle's
bow. The girl was smiling, and, taking
q piece of money from her purse, gave it
to the boy, and then went over and tied
the blue ribbon round the neck of the
little yellow our. a few minutes later
the boy and his dog were going up street,
the dog seemingly doing his best to imi- !
tate the jaunty trot of the oonoeited |
French poodle.
