 They had a fair days spor, that day. but the doctor thought the old dog was a good deal slower than he used to be. and concluded by the time he had reached home that he would get young dog snd train him up with Hugh so that in case of an accident he would not be without dog.
 When he brought the pup home he Introduced him to Hugh and ex. plained 10 his wife that Hugh was get ting old. and that he must train the young fellow against that time Hugh would go on the retired list.
 Hugh won't like that" said rhe wife.
 -oh. yes. he will; the pupil be enm- panv far him"
 That pup will make trouble b. tween you and Hugh. mark my word and the doctors wife went into the house feeling sorry for the old dog. for . woman knows a man cant split ur his affection and hold his job.
 Hugh treated the rollicking. romp- Ing. tail.wriggling pup with considera-
 ton. showing an interest in him
 which he did not enjoy and a kind.
 ness he could not feel.
 The next day when the old dos
 started down to the corner to meet lis master the pup romped out ahead
 and raced down the walk, so that he could not stop until he had bumped
 Into his masters knees. The doctor stopped and caught the frisky young
 pup and petted him. Hugh dropped the stick he had picked up and walked back to the house. When the doctor
 opened the front gate the old dog trotted round to the back yard. The
 man followed and tried to make up, said. with his sad. eloquent eyes: '-Oh, don't bother about me, I'm all right" But the doctor felt the slight
 and remembered what his wife had said.
 That night he put his traps in the kitchen, and next morning Hugh came up, as usual. to call him. The doctor pretended to doze on. but Hugh made no move. The man turned his face to the wall. but still the dog stood mute and motionless.
 When the man got out and made the dog welcome the latter did not romp as usual. but laid his head against his
 masters face. sighed and turned away
 In the field that day Trip, the pup was as noisy and numerous as foot ball player at a reception given in honor of a war hero. He parked and bumped into everything and every. body, but instead of being disgusted as Hugh thought he should be. the doctor seemed to enjoy 1t. He made
 no effort to disguise the fact that he
 was slighting the old dog. but ap
 peared to glory in 1t. He gave the pup the best of 1t. and when, after nc end of help. the noisy one retrieved [
 wounded bird, the doctor made . greai fuss over him.
 That night, when they got home Hugh would not touch his supper.
 He's ill.," said the doctor. Let Mary take it," said the doctor'l wife, and from Mary's hands he a.e showing that he was not sick. The next day the old dog would mol suffer his master to come near him When he was cornered he growlet and showed his teeth. They shut hin up in the kennel, and he chewed tht gate down, though he had never beer known to gnaw that way before. On the third day he refused to cal altogether. and the next day disap peared. The doctor walked miles ii search of the lost dog, but none knev anything about him
 Some days after the dog left homs the doctor was going up from the stor' to his house at noontime.s As he wa, passing the Merchants bank near thu post ofice. right on the principa street, he saw a soiled and sorry-look ing dog lying in the shadow of th'
