N TOW, you have been told at some
nj time about dogs in Steenth Street,
i Y their ways and habits, and you
think you know much about dogs
In general. But you never knew of this
dog or of his narrow escape from dread
fui fate. And you ought to know all
about him, for he was dog worth know
ing.
He was just plain dog, and there was
not a suspicion of pedigree about him.
You could not even pretend that he had
any kind of blood in him save cur blood.
He was not pretty, rather the reverse,
and he had disconeerting trick of snap
ping at his body and yelping piteously,
which suggested fieas.
1t happened one day, some time before
the beginning of this chronicle, that
Frank Smith had come into possession of
a red silk tie. 1t behooves not to tell
in what manner; sufficient it is to say
that he had it on, and that it was red,
very red. and silken, and gorgeous.
Thereupon he met a boy from Blank
Street, who held something round and
wriggly in his arms. Pete stopped and
surveyed the tie which Frank wore, while
Frank manifested a deep though sur
reptltious interest in the yellow thing.
Jaw, now" Quoth Pete, wouldn't it
kill yer?"

"Where'd you make raise?'
What you got dere?"
Pete shifted the woolly yellowishness
on one arm. Oats my pup" he ex-
planned. "Wanter trader"
Franks eyes bulged at the prospect.
while he fingered at the tie.
He's a beauti" he murmured.
Say, dat tie amt becomin' to your
style of beauty continued Pete, per-
suasively. You'd better have de dawg."
law, garn,' said Frank again. He was
not offended by the reference TO the ties
unbeeomingness. Pete, who yearned to
put it about his own neck, had carroty
hair and freckles. There was a moment s
pause, some few bantering remarks, and
when they parted again Pete's hair was
relieved by the red tie and Frank car
ried the yellow. wriggly pup ioyously
home.

very mu.h, and so important was he and
SO busy that it was a difficult matter to
elicit any courteous reply from him on the
matter. The conclave at Dago Joe's was
first Indifferent to his evident avoidance
Of them; then interested, curious, and
finally determined to find out.
.'Fellers, dere's somep'n' up" said
Oohson one day.
Huh. he amt so warm" growled an
Jther.
Say, where's Dewey" asked Leslie
Ihanning. suddenly.
They stared at each other vaguely.
Where was Dewey? He had not been seen
since that hapless Sunday when he had
ried to join the Bible class.
"Dere's somep'n' up" reiterated Dob
son.
The delicatessen woman was In the Sc
cret, and it was her pennies and dimes
that were going to fill Franks baking
powder can, hid in his mothers cupboard,
while he ran errands and did chores. Dew
ey spent his time in the cellar, because
it was not possible for him to be run
ming about so much. Those we're dreary.
lonely days for him, and he whined and
curled himself up in his box and slept
much. He knew that brighter days we're
coming. and that was all that rendered
his solitude bearable. Also. the sausages
from the deIicatessen store we're Pretty
good.
One day the baking powder can was fuii
and Frank went joyously forth to buy the
license and the collar. 1t was sore
temptation to take Dewey with him, but
the walk to the city hall was long and
the day hot, and Frank knew that If he
spent ten cents carfare there would not
be money enough. AS he trudged down
the avenue he chuckled to himself to
think how outdone the other fellows
would be when they heard of his going
on that errand by himself. He pictured
Dobson's disappointment at not being
allowed to go in that place where police
men are as nothing before the higher
officials. But finally, when he stood trem-
blingly before the purveyor of licenses
and whispered hnrriedlv: with dry lips,
the particulars of Dewey, and received
the glorious privilege of keeping him,
Franks enjoyment of it all was dimin-
ished somewhat by the thought that there
was no one of his acquaintaEces to see
or hear him. He bought the collar at

course, say that they do not know how
it happened. and then you will tell them
this:
Miss Duck once started to a Sunday
school picnic, wearing a crushed straw
berry silk dress, and she was just sure
that she was going to look finer than any
one else there. AS she was strutting down
the road picking out the best places to
walk. Mr.. Fox came along. AS soon as
he saw Miss Duck Mr.. Fox made great
leap at her, intending to have her for
dinner, but she crawled through the fence
and was just about to jump into a little
pond by the roadside when she remem-
bered that she had her best dress on.
Then she did not know what to do. She
knew that Mr.. Fox would be over that
fence in a minute, and that IL she did not
dive into the pond she would be caught
and eaten. but then IL she did jump in

that your story Is true. but to prove that
it Is SO you must now put your fingers in
the water and bring UP the penny which
lay at the bottom OF the glass. The penny

You can conclude by saying that all

he was stone. 'If you will promise not

The Best Remedy for Group

(From the Atchison, Kan, Globe.)
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened ia the middle
Of the night by whoop from one Of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case Of
Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case of burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlaiu's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much. IL causes the
patient to "throw mp the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon As
the Group cough appears and IT will
prevent the attack. IL never fails and
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale
