and barked. There was a loud answering
bark from below in the front hall. The
other dog had come.
In the morning he awoke early. When
TIbi was dressed she put the Little White
Dogs. collar on and fastened his leash to

Little White Dog straining at his collar,
smiling, shifting for some knowledge Of
the new intruder. And when he was
known 10 be safely housed in the stable,
and only then, did Tibi undo the leash
and let him run about the lawn in free
dom The next day and the next this was
the same.
"0h, let them be together and make
friends!' the family would say, but Tibi,
knowing her dogs resentment and his de-
sire to scrap, kept him at a safe distance.
A week went by. and then suddenly one
day Tibi was called away down town. She
left special instructions with every one,
from the cook to the head Of the house,
that her dog should be carefully guarded
from the fight that would surely occur il
the two dogs were allowed together. He
was TO be left in the yellow room till her
return.
But-he was not! Oh, no! How he

The New Dog loped over the lawn and the
Little White Dog followed, barking
Somehow he forgot about being angrJ
and enjoyed the romp. He really had .
very good time, and It was only when
Tibi came home to find him with the
New Dog that he began to entertain grave
hatred for the New Dog again. He was
afraid that the New Dog might perhaps
suppIant him in This affections.
But nothing like that happened.
Little by little he grew used to having
the New Dog about. He even grew used
to having him sit near TIbi, to seeing
the family pet him, which was the hard
est blow of all. 1t caused a vigorous
storm of barking, but the New Dog never
seemed to resent 1t. His tail wagged
evenly and contentedly, while the Little
White Dog bristled.
And so the summer passed by and the
Little White Dog gradually became
friendly with the New Dog and shared
his home and his family, And the bones
that the cook gave to the Little White
Dog the LITTLE White Dog ate in his cor
ner by the kitchen porch undisturbed.

he could, and he could not finish them be-

The Rapid Fire Gun

aerial target This consists of steel up
right, to the top of which a wooden airship
is fastened. The upright is very flexible,
and when its base has been clamped to a
table and the wooden airship fastened on
the top the steel shaft sways from side to
side and, of course, the sirship vibrates
with it. There is a small cannon which
goes with this toy, and rubber ball, or,
rather, rubber cube ammunition. Those
who wish to shoot at the aerial target have
to be pretty clever, because the vibrating
steel makes it necessary for the gunner to
have calculation as well as a good eye. 1t
is like shooting at bird on the wing.
Another attractive noise making device
for the Fourth is a modern pistol man,
the top Of whose hat explodes with loud
report when the lower part of the wooden
pistol is, pulled out.
Fourth of July parties are always great
fun, and this year there are a great many
devices to help the guests of these occa-
sions to have a good time.
For the Fourth of July Jack Horner
there is huge drum made of paper in
the national colors and trimmed with
gold eagles and little flags. This drum
looks warlike, but it isn't. Instead it is
stuffed, with all sorts Of small Fourth Of
July favors. Each of these favors is at
tached to a ribbon, and this ribbon is
threaded through the crepe paper which
covers one end of the drum. When the
guests are assembled each one is given one
of these ribbons to pull. They all pull
together, the end Of the drum is torn away
and a shower Of good things falls out
The Washington herald., 1912-06-30

take them quietly and finish them up in
a retreat in the orchard.
But there was more than this. The
New Dog was more than magnanimous.
He kept a constant eye ON the protection
of the Little White Dog when they went
out TO walk together. Tibi no longer
needed to guard the Little White Dog,
even from the Smiths collie. The New
Dog never let harm come near him. He
took his part in all scraps and defended
him with ardor.
And when, with the end Of the summer,
there came a day when the expressman
came TO take away the kennel of the New
Dog, and when the mistress 10 whom he
belonged left home again, the Little White
Dog sat mournfully on the mat at the
front door and seemed to understand it
all. He would have been glad to have
the New Dog back, for he missed him.
The New Dogs home was his. The
family belonged to him. too, and so also
did the Little White Dog and his mis-
tress, Tibi.
And as the Little White Dog sat in the
sun on his mat at the front door and
thought of all this, he hoped in his dog
gish way that the New Dog would come
back.
As this is a true story, you might as well
know that he did and that they both
lived happy ever after. sharing the
kitchen with its bones from the soup
kettle, barking together at all intruders,
sleeping curled in cosey corners side by
side, sharing tkeir home and their
family.

necessary to give up many of the things
which used to make the Fourth Of July
enjoyable. After all, it is better to have
all our fingers and toes and our eyes and a
few other necessary things on the fifth
of July than to have 6recrackers and caps
on the Fourth So the best thing we can
do is to accept the safe and sane Fourth
gracefully and look around for whatever
nice noise making devices are left to us
among the perfectly safe explosives.
Practically all of these are the rubber
