thouEfIEt consigned to the fis1les, but

to start the blaze. A few minutes
later he went down and shut the fur
mace tight, and returning to his room,
was soon slice ping the sleep of the mer-
ciful and indulgent dog owner. Soon
an insistent sound that he couldn't
quite locate, disturbed his dreams. and
like a fly on the sleeper's nose, ii final
ly woke him. He recognized the muf-
fed voice of a dog, and rushed to the
hoe nv
mace was empty, and Mr.. Felix played
pussy wants a corner" in every nook
of the cellar without result. Still he
heard the whine of the pup and in
furnace draught. The little creature
emerged, nearly smothered by coal
gas. but otherwise. like Shadrach,
Meshech and Abednego, there was no
sign of fire about him
