still keeping up the chase, there was a man
said if we could get him around to the dog
show they'd give him prize for pulling you
out OF the river; and ne won't let US catch
him."
"Wot sort of prize is itn demanded the
vet boy.
Money, you wooden-head, you They're
all swells down there; and he said there's
prize for the best dog that saves feller's
lifen
This was enough TO satisfy the inquiries
OF the smaller boy. and to excite the best
efforts OF the Others to capture the dog, but
for reason he eluded them. Perhaps he had
good reasons for being suspicious of boys
who were too friendly. Anyway, he lodged
and kept out of their way, almost causing
one of them to be crushed under the wheels
of a cable car, when the wet boy gave a low
whistle and ordered the dog to come ere"
The animal obeyed without a whine.

put his nose between his paws. "You've
got 10 go and get that there prize, and I'm

the others, who had taken off his wet cloth
ing and wrapped him up in something Order,
he managed to 90.
When he saw his master going the dog
followed, and they soon stood before the
bulletin board in front OF the rink, nnnounc-

lance.
There was some consultation, and then
while four of them stayed with the boy
who had been in the water one of the larg-

neck, and, paying the admission fee with
the combined wealth of the company under

"What prize! There is no prize for such

Yes, there is prize Wot are you CIV
in US! Didn't man tell me so! de amt
going to eat up none of your fine-haired
pups, but he's goin' to get that prize"
There might have been fracas and an
arrest, for the boy who had paid his money
was positive and determined, but just then
a gentleman CHANGED TO step to the door
and asked what was the matter.

The gentleman looked incredulous, but
just then a newspaper reporter who had
been watching the boys from the street

"Wait here a minute" said the gentle
man; and he disappeared within and went
briskly to where group of his friends were
talking In minute he came back with
something in his hand, and followed by
several others.

| ought to be prize for that kind of dog,
and here is a S. gold piece for the owner of
