He didn't exactly set the world on

but he started loudsome laugh that
was heard from League Island to Bucks

For some time past the dogs of the
neighborhood have made life one sad
and turbulent nightmare for him. Every
time he went into the street, they would
chase him up tree, and, while some of
the bunch hustled off to hunt bones, the
rest would stand guard and keep him
there all-day.
"The other afternoon the cat leisure

that something was doing.

tail into the sticky substance. Having
made the connection good and fast, he
slowly walked toward the door and went
out into the street.

his way to beat the band. At the same
instant the cat started and half the
neighborhood bulged out to see the
chase
Thomas hadn't gone far before one
of the kioodles gained on him, and was
just in the act of Selling him by the
back of the neck, when one foot struck

doggy face, as we'll as his feet were all
wrapped in the same package.
"By this time the second dog had ar
rived and paused to see what was ach
ing the first He was too inquisitive,
and in just one second his face was also
hanging fast to the fy-paper.
"Then other dogs butted in and got
theirs, and the first dog, regarding it as
an intrusion, started to scrap. The
other dogs were willing, and in less time
than it takes to tell it they were yelping
bowling and rolling around the street in
one tangled mass.
every pup had piece of hy-paper
fast to his feet, and some had it pasted
on to their mouths like mustard plasters.

"Say, old boy" broke in the friend,
with a wondering glance at the down

get square with the dogs?"
"Sure thing" was the gladful response
of the other He"
"But where was he" asked the friend.
