much interest in moving pictures

habit of following or. and Mrs.

and into a moving picture show.
He became nuisance and they
drove him back several evenings,
only to find him in the show later
on.
Finally they thwarted him by
locking him up. But this scheme
was soon fathomed by Noisy, and
Mrs. Thomas searched vainly for
the dog. When they arrived at
the show they were told that their
pet had preceded them and he was
found setting on a chair in the
