Ject was given out. 1t is stated that
Consul General Gummere has been ca

any other government, the United

the bandit Raisuli be held personally
responsible for the safety of Perdicar-

captive our government will demand
the capture and execution of Raisuli.

here in their original reluctance to
compound Il felony by paying ran
som. and thus encourage kidnapping.

by the Moorish brigands for the re-
lease from captivity of Messrs. Per

in authoritative quarters that no such
demonstration is contemplated or even
considered. The efforts of France to Sc
cure the release of Perdicaris and Var

ic channels at Tangier and FeX. Assur-
ances have been given that the Unit

cal steps pending French efforts to set
tie the matter diplomatically.

At four O'Clock Saturday afternoon sister
and l, arrayed in our new pink party dresses,
set out eagerly for the White House. On
reaching the White House, instead Of going
up the broad front steps, we were told to
go up the side entrance, opposite the Treas
ury, as this has been arranged for all large
affairs.
In the dressing-room there were maids
to take our hats and coats and put on our
slippers. We then walked through several
rooms till we reached the Green Room. AS
we entered, Major Mccawley came up to
us and asked us our names. He then pre-
sented US to Mrs Roosevelt, who was stand
ing alone, and she was very sweet. She
wore very pretty dress Of blue velvet, trim
med with cream lace over the shoulders, and
she carried big bunch of yiolets In her
hand.
We went over to the line Of Cabinet ladies'
and one of the ladies' presented us each with
q souvenir In the shape of button, sur
rounded with ribbon and tinse, with Mrs.

and a Happy New Year" engraved on 1t.

of him, and on account of his tender little
heart there Is doubt If he would have left
the home of his puppyhood for long, long
time had not Mrs. McGinty wounded his
pride beyond oil healing.
1t was this way. One dull day Weary sat
in the barn door thinking on the attitude
of the McGinty family toward him. He
was particularly downhearted because the
McGintys had just sold their pony, who
had been Weary's only friend on the farm,
and In the pony's stall there stood an old
mule which had already refused to have
anything to do with Weary. Moreover, the
old mule had told Weary that If he ever
again showed up in bis stall he would kick
him higher than ever dog was kicked be.
fore. Weary very wisely took the hint and
did not wait for the kick. So, as he sat in
the barn door on this dull day. he was very
much impressed with his utter desolation,
at is very hard to be thought SO little
of among ones own people, thought
Weary. II suppose If didn't look spry
after the rats would be driven off entirely.
And now the pony is gone and sour old
mule threatens to kick met and Weary put
his head between his paws and was very
sad.
But Just then the sun burst through the
clouds and Weary's little heart gave q
sympathetic throb Of Joy, for the presence
Of blue FIX. and snushtaa always helped

him to bear his loneliness with better grace.
Soon the busy buzzing bugs were humming
around the doorway in the newly come sun
light, and the roosters crowed and the hens
cackled and Weary felt hopeful again.
II do believe" said he, that I will 80
Into the house and try once again to make
Mrs. McGinty love me. Everything is so
bright and happy looking that even may
look different to her. and with high hopes
Weary trotted off toward the house.
Now, Mrs. McGinty wasibusy at the wash
tub as Weary Waggles appeared at the door,
wagging the short little tail which he car
ried SO straight up in the air and his eyes
just beaming with good will.
"Wugh!" said Weary, his lips drawn in
a loving smile until his shining white teeth
showed, and you must know that "Wugh!"
is very friendly thing for dog to say.
Mrs. McGinty looked up and gave cry
Of horror, and selling basin she soused
a whole basinful of dirty suds all over poor
Weary.
"out of here with yer she cried. "sure
It's the avil one has stint ye to walk yer dirty
feet all over me clean Clothes"
Her act was so wholly unexpected that
Weary had no time to dodge, He received
the ducking without murmur, but as the
suds trickled down his legs and snarted in
his eyes he made decision. Without n
backward look he took the path for the road.
Weary shook himself as dry us possible
as he passed through the gate.
II don't want anything belonging to the
McGintys," said he, mot even soap suds.
| don't even want to keep the memories

Then he shook himself again and kicked
his hind legs licked his fore legs, rolled in the
| dust and scraped his head along the ground,
! as though trying to get rid of those memories
| that he didn't want to keep. Then he be-
! gan to scamper along the road to town as
| fast as he could go.

promptly hoist Weary up the stairs on the
toe OF her generous boot; for Mrs McGinty,
except In this quick manner, had no time
to waste In setting dogs about their business.
II Weary went Into the big gardens to visit
Mr.. MeGinty at work he got dirt thrown
Into his eyes. because Mr.. McGinty SAID
that he came on purpose to run over the
newly worked beds and to break the glass
in the storm covers. And Weary could
never think of going with the two youthful
McGintys, because they never knew when
they would want to steal plums or fish In
somebody's fish pond, and at such times
Weary Waggies was apt to get excited and
bark in a manner most terrifying to the
young McGintys
When Weary Waggles was young he did
not let this state Of affairs worry him
much. for when he was rebuffed by q mem
her Of the McGinty family he would turn his
attention to catching grasshoppcrs and bugs
and running after birds, or he would seek
consolation in make-beieve fights with pieces
| OF paper, strawberry boxes and stray hats
| and coats. But as he grew older he wanted
! to be with people and he felt the need of
somebody to love him, and as he came to
| realize that there was no love falling to him
in the McGinty family he began to think of
running away, But he did not hurry IN
going away, for he wanted to give the Nc
