He carried a heavy volume under one arm, and was too preoccupied to return the policeman's salutation.
 The other dwellers in the square al- ways greeted Perks In a friendly way, and 1t was only for Kitty's sake that Perks saluted the eminent scientist. her father.
 And now the time had come when Perks could shut his eyes to Bob's in- iquities no longer. Bob was a fragrant sinner with regard to his muzzle He would frollc gayly through the gate to the policeman's very feet. and even though Perks might turn his back. and, metaphorically, close his eyes, until Kitty hurried Bob away, the dog would insist on obtaining recognition from the limb of the law by circling round his feet uttering light-hearted barks such as only the unmuzzled dog is capable of emitting.

Perks--at the foot of the stairs, and one day father didn't see Bob there, and nearly fell over him. He was very angry, and said Bob was never to eat bones in the house. So if he can't have them anywhere he will be miserable. Do you know, Perks, Bob always growls when he hears father moving about-always. Why do you
