AN UNDESIRABLE CANINE.
Fritz Had Been Too Busy Among tht
Chickens to Be Much of an
Acquisition.

Hanley was a newcomer at Osslning.
He had never heard of Fritz. Sc when
his cabby, after duly ,depositing him on
the platform at the station, said:
Would you like 10 have a dog, Mr.. Han
Iey?" he answered: Sure" without
asking what kind Of dog Fritz was or
other questions in regard to his general
character CT makeup; for it had al
ways beon against his principles to look
a eift OF any sort il the mouth, relates
the New York Sun.
The cabby wh:siled softly. and Fritz
came from under the cab, wagged him
self and looked his new owner blandly in
the face.
He was a likely looking dog, q CROSS,
as well as Hanley could make out, be-
tween q water spaniel and a Spitz, with
no tail to speak of. a mild eye and .
heavy jaw.
Hanley gave the cabby one dollar ex.
ira, called a boy, handed him half dol
lar, with instructions to take Fritz TO
his new home and tell his man Friday to
look after him, and took the next train
Tor New York.
Fritz and the episode then entirely
slipped his memory until he boarded the
smoking car some time in the evening.
bound for Ossining and home. His
friend Jones. the lawyer, came along
and sat down beside him.
Il hear he began, chat you've got a
uaw dog"
Yes" smiled Han,ey.
Fritz is his name. | believe" went
off Jones, putting away at his cigar.
"Yes," asseuted Hauley Fritz. My
cabby gave him to- M this morning just
as | was about to start for New York"
I'm" said Jones.
He smoked awhile. Then he put a
question:
DO you know anything Of the dog
laws Of Ossining?" was the question he
put.
mo" answered Hanley, "Why?"
Nothing" replied Jones, only this.
For every chicken caught and killed by a
log his owner must pay 50 ccntsi in cash"
Well" demanded Hanley. as Jones
oontinued calmly to smoke. "What Of
Nothing" said Jones again, "only
this They've been trying for a solid
year to locate an owner for that dog,
Fritz. There's S125 against him for
chicken killing. If you own him for "a
hours you pay the $l25-whats the mat
ter?'
But he talked to flying coattails. The
train had stopped at a little station;
Hanley had sped out and off and was
busily engaged presently in sending this
telegram to his mar Friday:
