tn dope, Watson. Now bein' full iv tn
cillybrated Chow Sooey brand, ad-
dhress me keen mind to tn discussion
iV tn case iv Dorsey's dog. Watson,
look out iv tn window an see if that's

walton toll me il was not a balloon or
comet or a reindeer. Ye ar-re
gr-reat help to me, Watson. Pass tn
dope. Was there dog in tn car? No?
That simplifies tn thing.I had an idee
tn dog might have gone to wurruk.
He was a bull-tarryer, We say. Dye
know anything about his parents? Be

Hannigan's Diana iv tn Slough? Iv
coorse. Was ayether iv thin seen in
tn neighborhood tn night iv tn plant?
No? Thin it is not as nanny might
suppose, a case iv abduction. What
were tn habits iv Dorsey's coyote?
Was he q dog that dhrank? Did he go
out iv nights. Was he payin' amy par
bors? Was he baffied in love? Ar-re his
accounts straight? Had Dorsey said
anything TO him that wudve made
him respondent? Ye say no. He led a

We know now that tn dog did not
elope, that he didn't commit suicide an
that he was not kidnapped be his ray
turnin' parents. So far so good. Now
I'll tell ye who stole tn dog. Yisther-

in man goin' down tn sthreet. l say
he was suspicious lookin' because he
was not disguised an looked ivry wan
In tn face. He had no dog with him.
A damning circumstance, Watson, be-
cause whin he'd stolen tn dog he niver
wud've taken it down near Dorsey's
house. Ye wudden't notice these facts
because ye'er mind while feeble is un-

up an he was whistlin' to himself, a
habit iv dog fanciers. AS he wint be
Hogans house he did not look around
or change his gait or otherwise do an
