PUP HAS THE GRIP, TOO
City Engineers Dog Gets Sick Just
to BE In Fashion.

The little, curly, yellow, anonymous
pup that frequents the Office Of the
city engineer is sick today. He doesn't
respond in the least to calls, whistles
or caresses. Early this morning he
sought a place by the stove and buried
his nose between his paws, disdaining
communion with everyone and refus-
ing to be distracted from the conside-
ration of his own ills.
The opinion, from no authoritative
medical source, however, is that the
pup has the grip. He could not express
his feelings verbally. but. judging
from his general aspect, he seems to
experience a sensation of lassitude.
an aching in each and every bone of
his body and a general feeling Of hay
ing been beaten all over with a club
and such are the symptoms of the
terrible malady-grip.

The hot spell was over.
For fifty-seven years Roman had
toiled as few men can toil-on the
tiny farm that had been his fathers,
to satisfy the greedy tax gatherer; in
Essen, learning another craft under
the master Krupp: in the new land
whose promise had lured him. Not
once had his superb strength and en-
durance failed him; therefore he had
never known fear. had not believed
that the fate that overlook others
must some day be his. He had been
very prodigal of that strength.
But one day-such a one as In that
season the steel-workers called cool
he staggered and fell. 1t was three
days before he could go back to his
job. During that time Mark Truitt

He who returned was not the care
ful, precise, unfurried workman. He
knew fear. He tired easily and was
uncertain of temper. The heat fretted
him and he worried over his work. He
lost in efficiency; several times he
tapped the furnace either too soon
or too late and was sharply repri-
manded. To keep up and to forget
the new weakness he drank more
whisky than ever. Within two weeks
he collapsed again.
1t was during Romans third lay-off
that Gracey, the foreman, said to
Mark: 1T looks like Romans done
for"
1T looks that way" Mark assented.
It's come pretty sudden with him.

Yes" Mark stared sadly through

tragedy. There was an element in
steel of which chemists took no ac-
count-the lives and souls of men.

"Yes!" Marks mouth twisted in an
ugly sneer. Hes given you the best

foreman. Especially since the super
