THE DOG DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1903. by Edwin A. Nye.
Her name was Maggie Ryan.

Her name was Maggie Ryan.
Sullen eyed and defiant, she swept
into the police court. Her hair was
awry and her clothes were rumpled
from night at the police station
A little brown spaniel trotted at the
woman's heels
Maggie Ryan had slept or tried to
sleep on the hard, bare confines of the
matron's room. Usually dogs-real, for
sure dogs-are not admitted to the sta
ton, but something in the woman's
wistful face caused the matron to let
this little dog in.
In the morning the woman divided
her rough breakfast with the spaniel.
With reckless bravado and scorning
the audience of curious loafers Mag
gle Ryan answered the judges ques-
tons. The dog stayed close. Maggie
was arrested as disorderly.
I'D. and D.'-drunk and disorderly.
Her eyes were hard and cynical Her
mouth was set in a severe, straight
line Traces of one time beauty lin
gered. Dabs of face powder showed
too thick in some spots.
The spaniel crouched close to the wo-
mans skirts.
81 will give you until tonight to
leave town." said the judge The judge
was kind hearted, and he had looked
often at the little spaniel
She started toward the door. From
there she would probably 'hit the
sIrt, 1f
Anywhere-out of town.
The little dog started too. Briskly
he sprang to her side. Once he jumped
up and licked her hand.
For the first time that day the wo-
mans lip quivered. Her eyes softened
They were almost beautiful eyes
when there were tears in them.
The woman's head dropped for an
instant, and with one hand she furtive-
ly gave the dogs head rough caress.
The station door swung behind them.
and they started down the street. The
| little dog capered and then trotted
proudly along at the woman's side. AS
he lifted his brown eyes there was in
them a wonderful, worshipful look of
love and devotion.
Because he was only a dog.
| He loved this woman, his mistress
a mistress from whom other women
drew aside their skirts in disdain.
He was only dog, and he didn't I'm.
derstand.
How should he know the custom O.
humans who punish the woman sinner
and let the man go free?
