it did no harm. It is punn.ng out loud that
hurts.
He kept the gong changing like an am
oulance, and he tore down Seventh ave-
nue. as if the world were on fire and he
was gong 10 put it out. Why he didn t
run over half score of people, | don't
known and how he knew the way to steer
passes me. A grown persons would have
made a hopeless boggie of the thing and
would have landed on a house-top before
ne d gone far but many a small boy has
mastered bicycle on first mounting it,
and Harry made the four miles down 10
wan street in six minutes. 1t you don't
pelleVe me- look ii up in the newspapers of
that date The dates escapes me, by the
way, never was good on dates.
When Harry reached Trinity Church
yard the wolves were trying to climb The
house fronts TO get a the people who We're
looking out of the windows at them. One
intrepid man with butterfly net was pre-
pairing TO get out and capture them one by
one, but Harry told MIN politely that it
wouldn't be necessary. The poor man
had gone crazy over the excitement
Harry drove up to the wolves and then
gave Il peculiar cry and the wolves stop
ped bowling and looked at him. Then he
gave another and the wolves formed a cir
Gle around him and began TO walk slowly
UP to him. He was still in the auto
mobile. y cry of horror went up from
those who saw them. They expected Har-
ry to be torn limb from limb, but ne was
not afraid. He knew that he had them
under control.
And now a strange scene was witnessed
The wolves closed around the carriage,
and each in turn stepped TO the door and
gave his paw TO Harry, just as you've seen
Rover do it a hundred times. Harry shook
each paw and then he turned the motor
wagon around and started for Central
Park for they were to be quartered there
until they could be shipped TO the Western
circus that had ordered them. Slowly up
broadway they went. Harry leading the
procession and followed by a file of nine
gaunt, wicked looking wolves.
After he'd gone a mile or so an enterpris-
ing advertising agent stepped up TO Harry
and asked permission to put a blanket on
each wolf with the name of a certain kind
of pickle on It, but Harry had a good deal
of dignity and he would not hear of it, and
the wolves would have rent the man,
thinking he was attacking Harry if the
latter had not spoken TO them.
The odd looking caravan marched up
Broadway 10 Fifth avenue and then up
Fifth avenue to Central park. The news of
the approach of the strange procession
was telephoned up town, and sidewalks
and sloops and doorways and windows
were lined with people, and so great was
their confidence in Harrys well known
powers that no one was afraid.
AT Madison Square what might have
been serious accident occurred Harry
had been up late the night before at the
lecture and he fell asleep, the motion of
the automobile was SO easy The minute
his head dropped he lost his influence over
the wolves, and they broke ranks and ut
tered a long howl preparatory 10 dashing
into the crowd. Luckily the noise woke
Harry, who gave the cry he had used down
town and the charmed beasts once more
circled the carriage and gave him their
paws and then fell into line behind him
The onlookers cheered him as if he had
been a regiment back from Cuba instead
of a peace loving little boy.
AT the entrance of the park the Mayor
of New York and all the other wise men
who composed the city government were
drawn up in a body and they presented
Harry with the freedom of the city.
Harry had no use for it. and when he
had housed the wolves without further ac-
cident he went home and gave it to his
mother and she has it yet in glass case.
