This made him look very pretty. He
always had habit of running away,
which was very disagreeable to me, for
I had to run after him, most all the
time.
One day friend of mine and myself
had planned to 60 picnicking to Min
nehaha Falls. We had gone almost
halfway there on the car, when it
switched around the corner with incred-
ible swiftness and revealed to my eyes
my little pet dog. I grew very an
cry, but Of course we had to get off and
carry him home. Dogs are not allowed
to travel in street cars, but we did not
care for that. He was so little that I
put him under my coat. When the
conductor came to gather the fares, he
began to squeal. I grew very red in
the face Gas my friend told me after
ward) and the conductor soon found
out what was under my coat. We had
to get out and walk back, but when
we reached home we received a warm
supper, which was very comforting.
Next time shut the dog in the shed so
he could pot run away when was
gone. He did not seem to care, but
bobbed his little white head in a queer
manner. Dick Welch,
