come to tn White House fr job
loved him.
"But wan day Cool Bonds began
to look bad. He cudden't ate tn
Erich crane out iv tn damon
studded saucer. He stopped castin'
an eye at tn c'nary in tn cage.
Whin the Sicrity iv tn Navy wint
down fr to play with him Cool
Bonds spit at that good an g-hreat
man. Mack was Shawn himself
befure tn lookin' glass, an had
jus got his face pulled r-round to
wan side f'r good cash, when he
heers a screen iv ag-uny beyond
him. He TURNED to see Cool
Bonds lape up with his paws on his
stomach an hit tn ceilin'. Mack

Cool Bonds Away wint Cool

wan smile on his lips. Afther en-
bracin' Cool Bonds an tuckin' him

4 app'nt ye Majir Giniral,' he

ly. Sleepless an vig'lant, he stood
beside tn sufferin' mules, allayin'
their pain an slowly but surely

a cherry wurrud, a pleasant smile
an a bottle of liniment FIR wan an

But if it hadn't been FIR Cool
