Reginald became conscious OF the
worries OF this world in the heart OF
England. Early in life it came into
the possession OF the Littlejohn fam
lily. which consists at present OF Mrs.
Littlejohn. her son Stewart who Is
an artist and her daughter. who Is a
blue. eyed divinity.
Reginald grew TO be a wonderful
animal. 1t would turn marvellous
somersaults. and seemed to under
stand all that was said twas particu-
larly fond OF the poetry which Miss
Littlejohn often read aloud When
Reggie sailed for America year and
half ago it captivated all the other
passengers on the ship. 1t paraded

The apartment house at No. 80
Pineapple street in which Reginald
was domiciled. had already become
famous through being the residence
of the young Californian author o;

Wingless Insects OF Shasta County"
The Littlejohn family took tho top
fat so that Reginald might have the
roof for its exercise. Here it grew to
the very large and handsome animal.
Every morning Reggie rode around
the room on Mrs. Littlejohn's shout

from visit Reginald awaited them at
the door,
One day Reginald trlpped lightly
out OF a fifth-story window. Its ter
rifled mistress rushed to the base

body on the fagstones Instead she
saw Reginald calmly stroking his
whiskers With pardonable pride
she had 1t photographed. and her
brother painted its portrait
One Saturday Reginald was on the
roof with Miss Littlejohn. Suddenly

Littlejohns thought at first that 1t
might have gone to the neighbors.
But the neighbors had not seen it and
the Californian declared that he had
never heard OF Reggie.
