an concludes that maybe horses is too
big animals for the compound to work
on, an maybe it d go better on a dog.
MIR. Doyle has got a old dog named
Bruno over at his hotel, which used to
be regular hell womper,' as he puts it.
He says that OF dog was better hunter
than mi I'm when he was young But
the OF dog amt good for nothin' now
except to lie on the sidewalk an be pet
ted. There's young scrappin' dog
named Bull that gives the old fellow
a lot OF trouble an makes him wish he
was young again | decided to try the
compound on the old dog, an went over
to where he was a-lyin in the shade |
commenced to pet him, an the old fell
low enjoved it shore enough Then l
rubbed some of the ointment on to him.
an it didn't have no effect The old
dog just wagged his tail an painted kind
OF loud, the way a old dog will, an when

had tried the dudes compound on
equine an a canine, an hadn't got no
action. Thinks | to myself, a cat is
nervous high jumper, a sort of a ring
tail spieler that shows his bad health by
his uncommon activity, an maybe the
feline II be effected where the equine an
canine wasn't. So | recollected that old
Mr.. Doyle has big cat. named Robert
Emmett, which the same he is uncom-
mon fond of, an which sleeps under the
billiard table in the bar-room of his ho-
tel
so I amb1es into the bar-room an
pets the cat. an pussy sagged in the mid
die an purred when | touched him The
bar-keeper, he went out to the well, an
] rubbed some of the compound on to
the cat, an would you believe it, the cat
just went back under the billiard table
an lay down an went to snoozin' again.

an the feline. | was about to take the
bottle to the back yard an bust it with
my gun, when | heard OF Mr.. Doyle's
parrot say. Polly pretty Polly That
puts a new idea into my head. Maybe
the nerves of a bird was different from
those of animals, an perhaps the COM
pound would work on a bird where it
didn't work on a animal. An so | goes
up to the polly an says, Polly, pretty
Polly an the parrot just naCherally put
her head out to have it scratched, an
the same | scratched an rubbed her on
the back with high life Would you
believe it, that bird wasn't affected in
the slightest. puts it up that tenderfoot
dude has shore played me for sucker.
Il started for the back yard intendin'
to use my bottle as a target. for | do

it. when suddenly heard some one hol-

mighty quick, an Just in time to see that
OF horse of OF Mr.. Doyle's rair up an
paw the air like old grizzly that's
been scratched by a bullet. ALI an OF
Mr. Putnam an OF Mr.. Doyle was
a-tryin' to quiet the horse1esh, but of
a student the old horse gave a bound, |
an jumped ahead as if he'd run into a |
hornets nest All three of 'em hOllered |
whoa, an | run out and made believe |
was a-tryin' to head the old plug off. |
The boys come a-pourin out of the
Dewey an other places of refreshment. |
Well, sir, that old horse that hadn't been |
out of a trot for years an years just
seemed to recover his pristine VlgOr,'
an went down that highway like a dog
with a tin can tied to his tail. OF MIR. |
Doyle looked at the cloud of dust, an |
remarked, What in hell's struck the old
fool? An ALI said he guessed the old
horse had turned back to colt. They |
wasn't nothin' down the road but big
cloud of dust.
Il looked at the old dog an see that
he was awake, an that his eye had a |
light in it | hadn't seen in years. Bull
was a-lyin' across the street in the shade. |
Old Bruno got up an stretched an shook I
himself an began to sniff the air. He
seemed to have a air of cOnceit about

the first time. He started across the /
street, an the bully dog began to grOwl /

but this time he just let out one savage |
snarl an showed his teeth, an then he |
Just clu1nb up on to that other dog like
a bob cat does a tree.
An that was shore a dog fight The |
bully dog was all swelled up and con- |

Why the idea Old Bruno had the

chcered him on. An say-well, I've been |
in bear fights where there was consider
