dorg between us he's been stole
Rowena did as she was told. She began to
walk here and there calling "Marmaduken as
she went The man kept by her side and when
she was not shouting he was whistlng. She
did not notice whether anybody looked at her
not.
Il tell you what I think" said the man who
now rather breathlcss, IL think he's been
stole. Was he one of them little fellows with
their eyes covered with hair that cost lot Of
money!"
Il don't know how much he cost, said Rowcna.
"but he was little and"
Here she stopped. II seemed TO her as il she
were describing friend who was dead. Do not
laugh at her, you who strong minded and
who do not care for dog save " in his place
Do please whistle some more! lie may hear
you now"
les s you say lady" And the man whistcd
again.
Rowena did not see a coupe which was moving
slowly near the fence in the street.
But she heard, presently Mrs. Sears's voice
saying:
Mrs. Bradford what is the NATTER"
On the scat with the lady who put this ques-
I ton small dog who pcered curiousy ont.
He was Marmaduke's brother and it gave Rowena
a shock to see him.
She said shortly:
1--WE lost Marmaduke
Get right in here with me- was the prompt
response. land we'll advertise him. Hes been
stolen for the reward"
"Oh, do you think 500 I'll pay anything to
get him back"
- Don't say that Who is that man? Docs he
know where he is"
He? No, indeed lie has been helping me"
"I've jes ben her whistlin piece. lady, said
the man advancing and looking at Mrs Sears who
stared back suspiciously. Kind of wind in
strument. you know. 'Stonishing how much some
folks III think of them little dogs
Get in here again said Mrs. Sears i'm
peratively to Rowena who now obeycd
The man was turning away when Mrs. Sears
called:
Here, you, mister
Montague Capoolt,' said he with a grin as
he came back to the carriage and leaned on the
wheel
Il forgot" interrupted Rowcna bending hastily
forward Il am so much obliged 10 YOU Will
you let me pay you for your trouble =
81 guess we're square, answered the man.
"'N' Pm ready to whistle for you any day you'll
need me. / amt acquainted with many folks like
YOU, m that's a fact ~ hope you'll find your
dorg'
He was moving away again when Mrs. Sears
said 10 Rowena.
Let me manage this affair lie knows where
your terrier is.
Let's settle this business right here" she said
70 the man. Come back How much do you
ask TO bring the dog here now We will wait.
Mention your price. It'll save bother.
Rowena was grieved and shocked at the cyniciSm
OF her friend. She sure this man knew
nothing more than what she had told him. She
looked at him imploringly
As for him he fixed his eyes, which were not
mates and which made his expression grotesque, on
her instead of upon her companion.
Il guess she's caught the wrong pig by the
car this time" he said Jerking his head very dis
respectfully toward Mrs. Sears. "iou tell her
amt in the dorg stealth business jest now. You
tell it TO her so t she'll understand it. But bet
YOUR dorg's ben stole. She's right bout the
advcrtisir' dodge You try it on.
The man really walked away now
Rowena leaned back in the carriage and almost
sobbed. The Sears terrier, who had been put on
the wool rug provided for him, looked at her
with acute sympathy lie darted at her and
licked the tip Of her nose.
Mrs Sears ordered the driver 10 take them 10
the office OF every daily paper in the city The
driver took the liberty TO say to his mistress
That's the man that knows about the dors.'
Mrs Sears groaned
I'm sure of it. But you can't arrest man
for stealing a dog just because he has been help
ing somebody whistle When the time comes that
women make the laws
Here she glanced at Rowena and exclaimed
Mrs Bradford let us look at the mitigaions
in this state of things. Let us be grateful it Is
not your husband who is lost and whom we are
about to advertise
Rowena smiled somewhat drcarily She won
dered why she felt that Marmadukc represented
Ga much 70 her IL was Keats who had brought
him TO Hudson-st from Mrs Sears. And the
terrier had never been parted from her since
and he loved Keats So She turned away her
head. Certainly she was very foolish. Inc real
philosophy Of life was not 10 love anything
She sat still and allowed Mrs Sears TO give
the orders for the advertisements. When the
time came for her to go TO her rooms she wished
her sister were not there. There was certain
dry practically about Sarah Kimball that made
her presence sometimes raspins.
you'll have Marmaduke back before to-mor
| row night" said Mrs. Sears. Remember now
MANY times Mrs Browning's Flush was stolen.
This bringing back the dog and getting the
reward is Il trade All, wish | could clap that
man who has two kinds of eyes on TO the rack
and nut on the screws till he told But women
have no rights. Good-by dear Send a mes

despair. Though I'd rather lose all my irlehds
| than to lose my JaqucS. lie is Jaqu"s because
he isn't melancholy
Rowena stood at the entrance until the ear
rage had gone. Then she went up 10 her own
rooms, bracing herself TO meet Sarah kimbali
But Sarah Kimball not there She had gone
out TO price dress goods and to get small shreds
Of cloths as samples. These shreds she boarded
and had seasons OF studying them with view
toward making selection eventually Already
