denly made lunge of about four feet
and strained, choking, at the end Of
his chain. on his hind feet, with his
tongue hanging out. From the rear of
the lot he had heard the bark of the
suspicious Smash.
"Where's Mike?" demanded Molly
hastily and in some fear.
Bert Glider and five Of the eight
couples whom Molly had invited had
already arrived and were now, Of

cred loose jointed Dicky Reynolds.
Hold your caller till run out and

Sledge's return from some careful d.

Mikes she introduced him to her
friends with all the sprightliness Of
which she was capable.
In that process she firmly intended
to make him the center Of things and
to see that he had good time. He
