BETZVHI-E TALES
VIII Finch and the Belgian Lapdog
lRBy Ellis pafher BuHef0
wv Author Pigs isPiqs~ Etc. W.
By PETER, NEWELL

Will Finch gives notice to every
body in Betzville that the party that
stole his Belgian lap-dog is known to
him, and that unless the dog is re-
turned before next Wednesday noon
he will offer SIS reward for any infor-
nation leading to the Identification of
the thief.
Will is all broken up over the loss
of the dog. He paid a dollar for it
to passing tramp who swore he had
stolen the pup, or he couldn't afford
to sell it for the price. The tramp
said the pup was Belgian lap-dog,
and to prove 1t offered to let Will see
1t lap up milk, if Will would furnish
the milk He said he had just re-
turned from a pedestrian tour of Mex
leo, passing through Belgium on his
way to Betzville. Will sort of sug-
gested that a lap-dog wasn't one that
laps, but one that is small enough to
sit Ia lap, and the tramp fell right
in with the notion. He told Will that
was what made the Belgian lap-dogs
30 valuable, they were both kinds of
lappers.
Will doesn't often spend money,
and when he does he likes to get his

moneys worth, and as soon as he
paid for the dog he took it home and
began tapping it, as you might say.
He sat down in a chair and put the
dog on his lap, but Will is so bow
legged that the dog fell right through
his lap onto the floor. He tried it
eight or ten times, and then he de-
cided he didn't have the right kind
of lap to hold dog on, but he was
not going to waste dog that he had
paid a good dollar for, and the only
thing he could see to do was to get a
lap that would hold the dog properly,
and the more he thought about it the
more sure he became that what he
needed was a female lap with skirt,
so the dog couldn't fail through. So
he thought it over we'll, and he de-
cided that Miss Daisy Plunkett would
do. She was a small-sized person,
and about right to hold small lap
dog.
Will Finch found right then that
it takes longer to get female lap
into the family than to buy a lap

about it, and he went right to work
counting Daisy, and he had just got
to the point where he was ready 10
propose when he happened to look at
the dog carefully, and he was all ia
ken aback. The dog had grown
lot, and was as big as good-sized
coach dog Will saw Immediately
that Daisy Plunkett wouldn't do at
all-she didn't have nearly enough
lap to hold such a large lap-dog.
So Will went about town for a
week or two studying the height and
breadth of all the minated ladies of
our burg. and at last he decided that
Sally Ann Scroggs was about the
rangiest Iimbed he could find, and
that she would fit the dog pretty well,
and he started in to court her for all
he was worth, and by and by she be-
gan to incline his way a little, and
he was just on the point Of propos-
ing when he happened to study the
dog again, and he saw right of that
Sally Ann wouldn't do. The dog was
as big as a Newfoundland by that
time.
Well, Will was nearly broken up
over it. He couldn't think of lap in
all Betzville that would be big enough
TO hold q lap-dog the size of a New

foundland, and yet he hated to think
that he had paid good money for a
lap-dog that couldn't be Tapped 1t
was like wasting the money. First
he thought he would write to New
York and get in communication with
an agency that handled Human Curl
Osities; he thought he might be able
to find a Human Curiosity that ran
mostly to lap, but he hesitated. He
could not be sure the Belgian lap
dog had stopped growing, and he
hated to go to the expense of marry
ing Human Curiosity only to have
her lap soon outgrown. So he mOped
around, and got thinner and thinner,
and worried himself nearly to death,
but there didn't seem to be any way
in which he could get value received
for the dollar he had spent for the
lap-dog.
Then, just when he had reached the
lowest depths of worry, Uncle Ashod
Clute suggested something that
cheered VIII up again and made him
as happy as of yore, and the next
thing we knew Will was packing his
goods in boxes and laying in time
tables. And the funny thing. so he

said, was that he hadn't thought or
it before. So he packed his belong
ings, and had them shipped to the
Junction, and bought a new suitcase,
and bought ticket to Salt Lake City.
In talking it over with us he said he
saw plainly enough that no one lap
could ever be big enough to hold that
Belgian lap-hound, even as it was
now, and there was no telling when
it would stop growing, so the only
thing to do was to secure an extern
sible lap, on the principle of a Sec
tional bookcase, that could be added
to from time to time to meet require
ments. He said he was going to Utah
and become a Mormon, and that right
at first he did not calculate to marry
more than two laps, for he figured
the dog could stretch out and not
much more than fill two laps, in his
present size, but that if he kept on
growing it would be easy enough to
annex a few more laps. And just then
somebody sneaked into Wills house
and stole the dog.
Wills ticket runs out next Wednes-
day noon, and that's why he wants
the lay-dog returned by then, but he
is all at sea just now. He don't know
whether to go out to Utah anyway, so
as to save what he paid for the ticket.
or to stay in Betzville and try to re-
cover the dog he invested dollar in.
One way it looks foolish to go out
and marry two or more laps when
there is no dog to lie in them. and
the other way it looks foolish to stay
and recover the dog after the ticket
has expired and when he cannot af-
ford to spend any more to secure
proper laps. He says this world is
full Of trouble and he will be glad
when he is above, where the cheru-
bin don't have any laps-only heads
and wings.
