Need for Two Collars.

Having bought a dog that hc ad-
mired Washington Heights man un-
dertook TO buy n dog collar. The dog
had a neck nearly as big as his head
and the dealer advised the man to
buy two collars.
What for?' said the man. Hes
got only one neck. so guess he can
get along with only one collar. can't
hc?"
Maybe So" said the dealer. SO tho
man went away leading the dog by
his new collar and chain.
In less than a week he brought the
dog back.
I'm afraid I can't keep him. he
said. He is too obstreperous. can't
keep him tied up. His neck Is tho
biggest part OF him and he is as strong
as an OK. therefore It Is a sinch for
him to slip his collar on"
That is why I wanted you to take
two collars" said the dealer. Put
both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar and he can tug away all
night without getting loose. He may
commit suicide. but he won't get
loose"

thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers. was. on the instant.
fraught with a greater danger than
any OF them.
For the first few moments after his
ayowal she had felt no emotion other
thar that of astonishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
II she could not marry him. anyway.
though the question revolted her. she
told the truth In saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later. but It burned
into n flame that was all the hotter
for its tardiness in kindling. II must
have an outlet somewhere. and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side OF the deck was altogether

him. Throw It away, please"-she

way to curiosity. At a general thing.
Jeanne Fielding knew what she was
about.
Philip Cayley took the dart and
threw it far out into the water.
There was one more surprise In

Cayiey, without a glance toward eth

landing of the accommodation ladder.

He held himself rigidly until till she

buried his face in his hands!
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound.
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him In amaxement. II had grown
quite dark. 1t must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take q little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly Mt
first. for he thought she must be close
by. But the Infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound Of his
voice. There was no sign that any
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
Tho steps were rather difficult to
negotiate. but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot. he
succeeded in creeping down them. and

louder. and finally cried out her name

tried the door. found that It was not
locked. and opening It and switching
on a light. perceived that the state
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the

He closed the door behind him.
Then he limped slowly down the cor
ridor toward the foot Of the compan-
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.
He turned the corner. stopped short

rowed steadily. without SO much as

She became aware. not only that

But the third. and largest. as she re-
