All yesterday Heine peered through
the window high up in the big building OF
the children's society and eagerly scanned
Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street
for some trace OF Pete. The other captives
in the nursery were making merry, and
while they played with bright colored
blocks, read rhymes from picture books
and sang songs Heine, his heart filed with
sorrow, kept a fixed gaze on the street
hoping against hope that his long vigil
would be rewarded by a glimpse of Pete.
Several lads asked him to join in the fun
and -fergit dat he wuz collared." but Heine
would have hone Of it.
"Wot's de matter dat youse doesn't butt
inter de games an ave some fun?" asked
a youngster. Deere amt no use ter be
a worryin' jest cause yer in de coop. Cheer
up an git busy wild U.S."
IF l had Pete wild me l wudn't be a
kickin',' replied Heine. trying hard to
suppress the tears~that triokled down his
cheeks. An 'spose he gifts lost an don't
find his way home.'
A look Of fear came over Heine's face at
the thought, and the other boy seeing that
it wa useless to keep the lad from "dopin''
left him at the window and ~rejoined the
youngsters for a game OF tag,
1t was Sunday night that Heine, Who
in private life is Willie Gaul, 8 years old,
left his home, at lie East lOsth street, to
take a walk with Pete. Now. Pete is a
dog Of the first water and can boast Of
being OF more breeds than one. His an
cestry isn't Of the best. but that gave him
and Heine little or no concern. They we're
pals ever since Pete was a tiny puppy.
and pals they always would be.
Heine and Pete were walking in Lexinp-
ton avenue when the dog spotted a cat and
went after it. Pussy ran up the avenue
at top speed, Pete. barking and growing
in rage, tearing along jas fast as he could
run and doing his best TO catch the feline,
There was an exciting chase for several
blocks and finally the cat darted through
a cellar grating and disappeared. Heine,
who had been following in Pete's wake,
got mixed up In his bearings. and instead
OF retracing his steps he and the dog kept
going north and soon found themselves
at i25th street. For several hours the
pair wandered about. and late that night,
hours after the time he should have been
abed, Heine found himself in Morningside
Park a he been alone he would have
been awfully scared, but with Pete at his
BLOC ut uCliiltI hutW NOT ItlI any rear,
Helne hesitated about telling ANYBODY
that he was lost. partly from shame and
partly from fear that ne would be turned
over to a policeman as a So he
n Pete kept IL to themselves, and after
trying vainly for a long time 10 find their
home they decided TO camp IL out for the
night. II was pitch dark and the bells
tolllng in the church way down the avenue
told Heine IL was very late. II was long
past midnight when he Rugged Pete TO his
bosom and lay down behind a clump Of
bushes 10 sleep.
The dawn was just breaking when Police |
man Sheehan OF the West 125th street
station noticed the lad asleep. and when
he approached TO arouse him Pete disen-
tangled himself from his masters embrace
n went for the policeman. Heine was
so exhausted that Sheehan had TO shake
vigorously before he awoke.
What are You doing heref" the blueooat
demanded. Been running away from
home. chr.
'Me an Pete in lost. said iieins, fearful |
that the policeman was going 20 arrest
him.
