ii earnestly. If [ had owned a pro-
phetic eye [ would have counter
manded that pup at the start. It
was my first great error. The trou-
BILE that brute caused in, around, and
among our family would have made
a Mormon mend his ways.
Bulger, the dog, took a particular
dislike to dad, and would make
strenuous attempt to tree him on his
return from work. This was hard to
do, as dad was built like Saratoga
trunk and hated climbing, and, in
addition to that, he was remarkably
hard to persuade. By the time dad
had kicked Bulger onto the roof of
the summer kitchen half dozen
times, the animal saw a great light
and yielded to superior force.
Bulger led a checkered career. He
ended it by giving way to temptation.
Mother had set out a line Of lemon
pies to cool They had lather on
them two and a half inches thick, and
were things Of beauty and JOY for
ever | have seen dad begin at one
edge of one Of mothers lemon pies
and never draw breath till he
emerged smiling and triumphant at
the farther edge. He could almost
inhale one Of those pies. A fellow
had to open his jaws till his back hurt
to bite one Of those pies, but when
he did, it was worth the misery.
The pies had hardly got acclimated
on the back porch when our canine
pet sighted them. He jammed his
cold, clammy muzzle into pie number
one, in an endeavor to learn more Of
its character and habits. AS he
drew back to think it over, the froth
stuck to his nose, and, in some sur
prise, Bulger ran out foot or SO of
tongue to remove it. AS we had not
taught him to spit he had to taste it.
Tears Of JOY came into the dogs
deep hazel eyes as he did so. He
yearned for more till his hind legs
fairly trernbled. It was terrible mo-
ment-and Bulger yielded. He scalped
those pies with the neatness and dis
patch Of Sioux Indian, and went
out back Of the barn to take siesta.
After a while he woke up and re-
membered the pies. He started back,
hoping mother had planted a fresh
row for his benefit. She was Just
coming out to interview those pies as
he came up. She saw him coming
with foam on his chops, and as far
back as his ears. The sight nearly
scared mother to death, but hasty
glance at the pies treasured her. She
picked up tomato can full Of fish
worms belonging to Bill, and, with
cruel aim, heaved it at poor Bulger.
It missed Bulger by narrow margin
of about a rod, and broke two dol
lars worth of glass in the dollhouse.
Bulger shot under the back porch
like a shot from a thirteen-inch gun.
When dad reached home he viewed
the pies, and forthwith sentenced the

back with no dog. Sam was back
in an hour with a marrow-freez!rg
tale of slaughter He went into de-
tails with such vividness and skill
that it nearly broke our hearts.
Mother wept, dad sneeZed, and Bill
wore a face as long as a horse Sam
finally left us alone with our grief-a
mighty fortunate thing for him. He
had hardly been gone minute when
the rapid patter Of doggish feet was
heard, and Bulger came up the front
walk like a delayed sky-rocket and
jumped through the open door right
into dads lap. The shock pushed
dad over and broke the back off the
chair he was assuaging his grief on.
Bulger then leaped across the table
and gave mother a hasty facial mas
sage, yelped few times in glee, and
bounced upon Bill. He was the hap
piest dog [ have ever seen-before or
since. Even dad looked plee sc9-
though he gritted his teeth every
time he thought Of those lemon pies.
In those early days Bills clothes
were hereditary. Mine were, too, but
I will not admit it. When dad finally
made up his mind that he had ac-
tually worn his clothes as long as
his contempt for them would per-
NIT, they descended by easy stages
to Bill and me. The process Of re-
vision was a fearful and wonderful
one. The clothes were turned inside
out, and as clothes of that period
wore shaggy inner surface, Bill and
| used to be CARRIED like mountain
goats. Some Of the pants we in
habited had hair on, an inch in
length. A fellow once touched
match to the fuzz on Bills breaches,
and it took ten Of US to put Bill out.
After the affair he possessed a burnt
hair odor that made his society very
exclusive.
These trousers were always made
on a large scale. Two could get into
them with ease and comfort. It was not
until Bill began bringing home contra
band pickerel under cover of his
huge pants that mother saw the error
of her way. If Bill had lugged in a
fish across his houlders, the warden,
who lived next door as a precaution,
would have nabbed him. But by slit
ting the pickerel s tail and buttoning
1t over his suspender button, he
could tote in twenty pounds of fish,
provided the pants remained on.
Mother changed the situation by
cutting big Vshaped cash in the
upper rim Of Bills trousers and
sewing the cash together. This puc-
kered Bill up so that he could wear
his pants without using suspenders,
and he grew quite proud over it.
Bill had a blood-curdling adven-
ture with those hirsute pants once.
He had girl-also an ice-boat. In
constructing the latter, Bill had stolen
the sheets from the spare bed to use
as sail This crime was NOT die

just arrived and was putting up a
loud holler for lunch. For one SO
young, Bill had a fine tenor voice,
and the use Of it appeared to afford
him unusual pleasure pleasure
than we had, in fact.
Bill exhibited marked dislike for
me from the beginning. | presume
this was because | was by long odds
the best looking. AS | remember
Bill at that period, he had nose
about the size and complexion Of
canned, and it was suspended midway
betwixt pair Of eyes that reminded
me of spoiled grapes. [ do not re-
call noticing Bills mouth when
closed-except once. On that occa-
sion | had been induced by bride to
insert my finger in Bills face for
the purpose of feeling his new fangs.
Bill recognized me during the opera
ton and shut down for keeps, retain
ing me in fond embrace until dad
got "a screw-driver and made him
loosen up his features. | never had
as much faith in Bill after that. l
imagine he has never placed full
trust in me since also, because |
have never been able to borrow a
dollar from him.
Bill grew fast-like a hound-pup.
His appetite worked from seven IN
the morning till the same time next
day. AS consequence, he grew big
and beefy, and acquired head like
Hubbard squash. When he was
three years Of age he made the har
rowing discovery that l was
miser. I had boarded up the stupen-
dous sum of dollar and thirty-seven
cents in cold coin. Bill broke that
bank, and dissipated it's contents
among his youthful friends. made
an attempt to impress upon Bill the
enormity of his crime, but he grew
denser the longer [ argued, and the
thing ended in the woodshed, with
dad enacting the role Of the villain,
Legree.
Time few on and it became Bills
turn to visit the woodshed where, IN
the past, I had shed so many bitter
tears to the tune Of the rollicking
single or the lath. 1t is a bright
spot in my memory. | love to dwell
upon it. Bill had heaved a marble at
the clock, and the marble had knocked

stlnctive motion dad gathered me in,

vinced him that for once he was in

tor Of scene Of that sort was new
to me and expected to enjoy it. 1t
was great-until dad got through
with Bill. Then the fun ran right
out of it, for dad saw me gloating
and he took me in. I received what
was left over from Bill. 1t was
quite lot, too. But it fitted me
very well.

hear it, as he had been aching to
hand me package for some time, on
his own account We mixed. When
we separated, Bill had. delivered his
package, and I realized that I had
placed the date Of my vengeance too
late in the calendar
Perceiving that Bill intended to be
a permanent fixture in the family, |
saw that discretion was the better
part of safety, and so formed a union
with him in the discovery and manu-
facture Of our celebrated pain-proof
pads. In our household, these arti-
cles were daily necessity, and Bill
and | would hook on our pads by
instinct whenever we sighted dad
coming home from work.
AS Bill grew up he manifested a
strong leaning toward sport. Elderly
ladies, who infested our vicinity,
made no bones Of predicting violent
deaths for both of us, although the
writer was one Of the best boys you
ever saw. Couldn't think of any
thing wicked without getting sick at
the stomach. Bill, on the other hand,
was hardened wretch, and was never
happier than when facing death in
some form or other. He once fell off
a forty-foot windmill without sus-
tanning a bruise. 1t is only fair to
state that he fell into a thankful of
soft water. If it had been hard it
would have killed him.
School was a. grisly specter that
darkened Bills early life. He re-
garded it as an evil that was to be
avoided whenever possible, and he
made it possible about four days per
week. Bill got far enough advanced
50 that he knew that one cat and an
ather cat made one cat-fght. Then
the school board got their hooks into
him, and dragged him through two or
three rooms by main strength. When
he tackled mathematics Bill got
thrown hard. Physiology made him
step sideways like a blind
horse smelling an automobile dead
ahead. Ancient history gave him the
nightmare so bad that [ refused to
speak to him. When Bill peeked
into an algebra one day his digestion
gave completely out, and he accepted
a job at the brickyard, passing hot
bricks to a wheelbarrow.
Bill stuck to the brickyard until
he had a complexion like an orang-
outang. Then he staked himself out
on a farm. Here he did fne-in
three years cleaning up almost
twenty-seven dollars in egotiable
cash and securities.
He then resigned from the farm
and came hOme-to hunt His rural
existence had presented him with
large, jagged features and fingers
like bananas. His face was tanned
the color of an Italians work-shirt.
He had a voice like bear in a churn.
When he laughed, the lamps fickered,

JOHNSON WANTS
 SHORTER GAMES

That President Ban Johnson. of the American league, intends to eliminate the extremely undesirable features of long games, Is evident by the early start he is making in offering sug- gestions which will do away with the long drawn out affairs and make the game the snappy contest which ap- peals so much more to fandom. About the middle of last season a decided agitation was started all around the American league circuit against the long games. and at that time John son was very much in the limelight, issuing instructions to his umpires to hustle the games and to take the proper steps with any player. be he pitcher of fielder. who was intention ally lengthening the setto.
 Since that time the head of the junior league has devoted much time to the question. Of course, it is a known fact that some pitchers are slower workers than others, and, in consequence, when these delivery clerks are on the mound the game will be stretched out longer than would otherwise be the case. But Johnson has a scheme now whereby the game will be shortened at least ten minutes
