81 far as Samuel Sega knew. there
hal never been dog attached to any
u the families who live a No. 20 She'-
FIELD avenue, And nothing could have
been much more disturbing 20 a weary
Brooklyn man than to have his right
to enter his flat and g, 10 bed chal-
lengel by a dog with an assressiyely
nervous growl
Mr. Scgal stopped shor. In hi. tracks
and lightr a match. From the back
Of the front hall the grow rolled out
again, In the Pickering light ne could
see the animals red eyes glaring at
him.
Tentatively, Segal moved toward the
stairs. The dog made no objection.
Segal reached about the tenth step up.
The dog addressed him again This
time it was not n growl. but an appeal
ing whine, and a sharp yelp, as of dis
tress Segai lighted another match and
leaned over the stair rail. He could see
the dog more plainly this time.
II was a yellow eur with lop ears and
a most raggedy and unartistocratlc tail,
neither smooth nor lOng-halred.
The dog was trottIng back and forth
in a little circle in the snow which had
dritted through the open back door into
the hall. There was a little circular
track marked out by its circuit. In the
centre was bundle almost covered
with snow.
Segal investigates.
The dog had been running around
and around the bundle apparently, but
now, looking up at Segal, whining,
with eyes upturned. he was making
only the half circuits. Segal went up
to his flat and got candle and, pro-
tecting it from the draughts, cautiously
approached the back door of the front
hall
The yellow dog growed again as lie
approached, and so menacingly that
Segal retreated. But before he could
reach the stairs, the dog was bounding
at him with wagging tail and short
banks, running back to the bundle.
Segal took courage Of curiosity and re-
turned. The dog trotted back and sat
over the bundle.
Segal leaned over and touched the
cloth on which, the snow was drifting.
The dog growled, Segal drew back his
hand. The dog whined. Segal looked
at the dog, The dog cooked his head On
one side and looked long and search
insly into Segars eyes and then tipped
his head to the other side and took an
other look apparently he liked what lie
saw. He wagsed his tail.
Baby In the Bundle.
Segal picked up the bundle. 1t was
baby, only a few days old. He rested
1t on his arm and ran his hand under
the wraps. The legs and lower part OF
the body were quite cold.

still beating, but very fa,ntly.
The man ripped open his coat and
waistcoat and put the baby as close 10
his own warm, comfortable body as he
could and ran up the stairs to his Hat
The yellow cur followed at his heels
but was shut out In the hall to scratch
ut the door and whine.
