Just as soon as the boy settled down 70 2 real good sleep that dog would aoeS1n aSain and the nap would be all of for the day The result was d cg@s kd, and very little peace for anybody afl day long. My wife beg gyed me not to Complain, saying she had been perfectly miserable all the time we had had that trouble about the bull terrier and she wanted to avoid having any friction in the build 2nE, but it got to be unbearable.
 We deduced that the woman who owned the dog went to something outside every morning and every eve ming and the dog got so lonely that ne just uttered yelps of misery until Rae came back. My wife said we ought to be thankful 1t was silent at night. but 1t got on my nerves so badly that I wanted 10 scream. and know my wife felt 1t just as much. She didn't say much, however. so in Gent was she on keeping peace, but one evening sine sat down and actually cried hard

 For some reason he didn't answer ms and I wrote again. good and T1oug. expressing my opinion of a building that allowed such things to go on The agent answered that by telephone and said ne had been try ing for several days to get rid Of the deg, but could not find him. l told him eo come around some time, either morning or evening, and he could hear him.

He sounded like puppy that was too young to do more than howl in jerky words of one syllable, wai1ing sort ca howl that was a combination of Q yelp and a fog horn toot. It was really phathetic. loo, for you could imagine the poor little thing tied up and lonesome as the dickens. The people below us were aWay for the winter 80 we couldn't expect any help &eon1 them and the responsibility of ft en rested on my shoulders.
 q never would have got my wife to consent to my saying anything, how ever. 1T she hadn't been expecting her eister-in-law for a visit That par Stcular relative is very nervous and 1t ~es up to us to gTve her quiet eve 1ingg st least So I wrote a note to ehe man on the first floor, as politely ea possible, requesting him to teach The puppy to be quiet, or else send hfna out to the country until he had 1soTued that silence is golden.
