back from the pit and all were eager

back from the pit and all were eager
and bright eyed.
Over in one corner a little girl bent
over a tiny specimen of the puppy
class and sobbed. "Oh Toodles they
didn't give you any ribbon at all,
she cried, and the puppy danced at the
end of his chain and laughed little
dog laugh as though to comfort his
mistress. He didn't realize the tragedy
of his position and all he wanted to
do was to go home and play.
In the st. Bernard class the big fell
lows were all restless. Their close
quarters and the stuffy air lashed the
dogs into a frenzy and made them
vicious.
MY dog has forgotten me and L
don't know what to do" sobbed one
exhibitor as he pointed to a splendid
specimen of the st. Bernard class
The big fellow had retreated to the
far corner of his stall and was growl-
ing.
You see," continued the man, as
though in appeal to the spectators,
I've had that dog ever since he was
puppy and he was like q child to
me. He went with me everywhere up
until two years ago when | sent him
to boarding and now he don't know
me-"
Here Don," said the man, and he
held out his hand, but the st. Ber-
nard snapped fiercely and three ugly
ncisions in the owners hand showed
where the fangs had struck.
Spectators tried to keep the man
back but he insisted that he would just
as soon be bit as not, and again he
held out his hand. The dog snapped
again but missed and then the master
with a quick motion toward the dog,
said "GiVe me your hand"
For a moment the brute snarled and
then the remembrance of the old trick
of his puppyhood came to him and he
hung his head and held out his great
paw. And the owner with a happy
little sigh patted the shaggy monster
and went joyfully away.
