Muse Halts; Then Resumes.

(The telephone rang just then and the
muse jumped cut the window for
brief spell. However Pat OBrien shook
the dog loose and proceeded to hunt for
Miss Emma's rings and the thief who
stole them. All. Here's the muse
again:)
He sought him in the cubbyhole, he
sought him in the press; he sought him
up the chimney fiue. and everywhere
we guess, and just as Pat discouraged
grew and turned to run aRd hide, he
saw another doorway there, and opened
it up wide. Across the sill he placed
his foot, the one all torn and bruised
and thought himself a brave young
sleuth, albeit much abused. And there
right on the carpet lay-guess what?
Miss Emma's rings?
Not so. not so. But what Pat saw made
him wish hard for wings. For he saw
another bulldog, a-growling like a bear,
with large and shiny tushes and short
and bristly hair. And, grouped around
this bulldog were seven handsome 9TH
ers. Ut WIS a family group, you see
three sisters and four brothers)

He Plowed His Way.

They growled at Pat, but did he finch?
Not much. He plowed his way right
through that mass of CANNES, like a
mower through the hay, and while they
threatened they would tear his trousers
into strings. he kept right on d sleuth-
ing for Miss Emma's stolen rings. Like
Daniel in the lions den, he glared the
bulldogs down, and now his fame's a
glowing thing all up and down the
town.
But he didn't find Miss Emma's rings,
nor yet the thief, by thunder. Too many
dogs in Myrtle street for health, or
pelf or plunder.
