the bull dog became a member of the
household.
This is getting us away from the
main story but wanted to, show that
If Billys father had been one of those
who go off at half-cock he would have
shot all the dogs but the pretty spitz,
and then probably Billy would have
been bitten before the day was over,
for he was a tease, and spitzes won't
stand teasing.
There was just one person in town
who knew how to, make the dogs go
away, and that person was Harry.
The dim would grant two wishes
each month, and he would take the
dogs away, even as he had brought
them But Dick had the lamp-and
Dick had vanished.
Harry had been at the meeting,
but he left when they were talking of
offering a reward for the removal of
the dogs. He would hunt up Dick and
get the lamp away from him by force
of fist if necessary.
At last he found him up a tree with
two lively bull terriers waiting for
him to descend, as they wished to in
terview him. He had ill-used them in
some way, and he was now paying
the penalty by missing all the fun
that was going on in town.
Harry saw that he had the lamp in
his Jacket pocket, and he came to
business at once.
You give me that lamp" said he.
What for?" said Dick in an irri-
tating tone.
For, GOOD" said Harry in a tone
quite as irritating.
"What'll you do if I do?" said Dick.
"Ill pull you down and give you to
the dogs if you don't" said Harry,
and the dogs growled ominously as he
said it.
"Oh, take your old lamp. Amt any
good till next month" said Dick, drop
ping the lamp to the ground.
Harry picked it up. That's all you
know about it,"
He whistled to the dogs and they
came up to him., wagging their crook
ed tails. you can come down now.
won't let them hurt you," said Har-
ry, in a tone of insolent condescen-
sion. don't know why the two boys
could never treat each other decently,
but they couldn't, and there's no use
trying to blink the fact.
Harry and Dick. followed by the
two dogs, hurried off to the station.
The crisp November air carried the
banks of innumerable dogs even as the
ocean carries the barks Of innumera-
BILE sea dogs.
The Canfielders were still discussing
the situation, and the station flower
beds blossomed with dogs as many col
ored as verbenas. although the col
ors were not as gay.
Harry entered the waiting room and
walked over to the town clerk.
whats it worth to the fellow who
gets rid of the dogs?" asked he.
Fifty dollars" said a Mr.. Spicer,
who loved money, but who hated
dogs.
"a hundred dollars" said Gordon
Brown, who loved dogs, but who
loved law and order better. And there
could be no law and order with dogs
lawn.
"All right" said Harry. Watch 'em
CO."
Most of those present thought that
1t was small boy talk. and even Dick
supposed that Harry was bluffing, and
wondered that he did not make sure
of the money at once But Harry had
equal confidence in the dim and in
Mr.. Brown.
He stepped out on the platform, and
the crowd followed him. He rubbed
the lamp. From it's mouth appeared
the djinn, black, and big, and terrible.
The Canfielders gasped for breath
and rubbed their eyes in astonishmenr.
Surely this was wonderful day.
Harry addressed the djinn. please
call all the dogs here and when I tell
you, take them all away except those
that people want for pets" said Har-
nv. having in mind a beautiful fox
colored collie that he wanted to keep.
The djinn gave a whistle so piercing
that hands that had been rubbing eyes
now stopped ears. Then began the
gathering of the clans. Every dog in
town excepting five or six that had
