there's a gintlemin here, an tn name
av him is Stortz. Stortz Is the name,
yis, an he sends his regards t ye, an
says why have We been stealfn' his col

The voice of OGrady was as soft as
velvet and as soothing as balsam. To
Mr.. Stortz it sounded like caress, and
Nhe was in no mood to have Mr.. Doolfttle
caressed. He jumped up from the box
of Angora cats and pushed O'Grady
rudely aside. He grabbed the receiver
of the telephone from O'Gradys hand
and gave his voice permission to show
its full strength. His eyes glared and
his temples throbbed; his face purpled.
He spoke to Mr.. Doolittle. The words
rolled tumultuously off his tongue like
a seething flood of sorghum that has
begun to sugar and has thick blobs in

He ran out of words and his palate
closed down with rage and he could do
nothing but gug gug like sorghum
guggling out of jug. He pounded
thrice on the telephone box with the
receiver, and gasped, and from the
other end of the line Mr.. Doolittle said,
calmly:
'Will you please say that again? 1

Mr.. Stortz dropped the receiver and
walked up and down the small space
between the animal cages shaking his
fists in impotent rage. He was too mad
to speak. O'Grady took the receiver
again.
"Hellor' he said softly. "Is that ye,
Misther Doolittle? 1 was sayin' there

Much obliged t. We, Misther DooIittle.

O'Grady hung up the receiver so
gently that 1t hardly clicked, and he
turned with a smile to Mr.. Stortz, who
was still ftrembling and breathing
hard.
"Mistber Dooltitle will take tn mkt
strate car, an will be down here in
liss than a half hour" said O'Grady.
Immediately Mr.. Stortz, who had
stopped walking for a minute. began
to walk again. Mr. O'Grady and Anna
and Willie stood back against the
cages to give him all the room they
could Some of the dogs in the cages
crept back into the dark corners and
crowded down into insignificance, and

some stood bravely forth and howled
There are different kinds of dogs. Shep
followed Mr.. Stortz up and down the
room, wheezing. The things Mr.. Stortz
said were many and strong, and he had
plenty of time in which to say them.
When he ran out of new things to say
he repeated some that he had already
said, and said them louder, so that they
almost sounded like new. Anna, who
was standing by the .daschhund cage,
stood with her toes turned out and a
dazed expression, like the dachshund

As means toward making two in

Book Plates Save Your Books

a library with its rare editions and
| books priceless in value means any
thing 10 the owner, the very care or
each individual volume will be cher
ished task, and no unsympathetic hands
will ever be permitted to even dust on
the covers, much less have to do with
the arrangement on the shelves.
Books that are really appreciated be-
come warm friends, and the very
thought of their being maltreated brings
real anguish to the owner, while to lose
or mislay one volume means TO the true
book lover almost as great sorrow as
the death or estrangement of lifelong
companion.
Individual book plates are once more
the craze among all book lovers, says
the New York Times. and whereas this
fashion has never entirely died out IL is
now being revived by all who had tenn
porarily abandoned the idea, and is be-
ing taken up by many to whom this
mode of. keeping their library always
intact had not hitherto occurred.
A borrowed book has an inexplicable
manner Of remaining away from its
home for an extraordinary long time.
and even with the name and address of
the owner carefully inscribed upon the
fyleaf, the wanderer does not always
return unless sent for and specifically
demanded. That the average human
being has so little human conscience
about a book as about a borrowed um-
brella is a painful thought but an un-
deniable fact. nevertheless. and 1t is
said that the only possible means OF
securing an umbrella lent on sudden
unprecedented impulse of kindness is
by having the owners name writ in
white ink all over the cover itself.
And book plate will answer much
the same purpose in a book. 1t would
take a person hardened to crime in
deed to be able TO open a book and see
upon the fiyleaf the effective scroll and
shield, with name and address of
friend inscribed therein, and not be
compelled by an unseen force to put on
hat and coat and return the volume
forthwith.
IL the family coat of arms and motto
are inscrolled in "Burke's Peerage" or
are to be found In the books of the
realm of Germany. France, Spain. Italy
or any other kingdom or empire, then
the design OF the bookplate can readily
be evolved with the space for name
and address artistically inserted and
really helping out the design.
Whosoever is willing to search long
enough is pretty sure OF finding out
some one worthy ancestor among the
crusaders, or. IL necessary. further back
among the band OF Norman conquerors,
who must surely have carried a shield
on which an artist trained In the busi-
ness can work out a fitting coat of
arms.
II. however. all this Is not worth the
bother. most effective and artistic
shields can be emb!azoned by any de-
signer. while. II one is possessed OF the
least talent in that direction, a book
plate can easily be designed Ey an ANA
teur, and a large majority of book
lovers prefer the stamp of individuality
to perhaps more perfect design
There are numberless branches in the
designers field today, and there are al
ready artists who make a speciality Of
designing effective book plates, either
fitting IN the name of the owner to the
family coat of arms, or making up an
artistic shield effect. The field is as yet

Doolittle was ready to wait calmly
But Mr.. Stortz was not calm. The
more he thought about it the more
angry he was. He saw that his rights
had been infringed;s that he had been
befooled into doing what he should
not have done. He told his wife so

he told her in a way that made her

have been a trying Is minutes, but
Mr.. Doolittle was quiet man. He
could stand and hear an explosion of
red hot German verbs and have
thumb and finger snapped under his
nose and not dodge or whimper. He
stood like iron lamp post calm and
cool, until Mr. Stortz uttered his final
proposition.
Yah! said Mr.. Stortz, slapping his
fist down upon a cage of Belgian hares
SO hard that they bounced up and hit
the top of the cage. II say it! Tschep
iss mein dog. Until dot Atlantic ocean

Tschep iss mein dog! Until such times,

Mr.. Doolittle entered the dog store
quietly. He was calm, as one who

who knows his rights and knows he is
