presence as they passed by?
Before either was called upon to face
this problem Spot solved IT in his inn
petuous way. While they were yet
yards apart the dog caught sight of
Warren and rushed up to him. showing
fore and aft delight by barking joy
Warren was patting him and other
wise cementing the friendship when
the girl came up.
We'll, you see Spot has received me
into his circle of friends" he ventured.
Il was wondering if his mistress would
do the same"
Il have always found Spots instincts
sound" she replied after a pause. and
I'm inclined to trust them this time"
Beginning with that afternoon the
solitary walks Warren took in the park
became fewer and fewer. 1t developed
that the girl-Jane Warffeld was her
name-was also an enthusiastic pedes-
trian. 1t also developed that she did
much of her walking in the park. and
mostly in the latter part OF the after
noon. Such a similarity of tastes could
have but one result-they soon took
most of their walks together.
Spots Importance in this growing
friendship diminished daily. Beginning
as a prime mover, he soon found him
self being relegated to the position of
minor adjunct This was something no
self-respecting pedigreed dog could
stand. A means of bringing himself
into prominence again soon presented
itself.
One afternoon he met terrier very
much like himself. He didn't like the
other dog on first sight-a feeling
which was heartily reciprocated. There
were a few preliminary growls, and
suddenly Jane and Warren had their
attention rudely torn from an alto
gether engrossing conversation and
focused upon a full-fedged. enthusiastic
dog fight.
The combatants were finally separated
at no greater cost than some minor
contusions on the part of each and a
torn sleeve on the part of Warren.
oh. dear" said Jane when it was
all over. Spot is getting dreadfully
hard to manage. I don't know what l
shall do with him"
What he needs Is a little of the mas
culine touch" said Warren.
DO you mean 1 ought to give him to
you?"
"Oh. no; not exactly that. What 1
meant was that we ought to try man
aging him together"
The girl was silent.
You know what I mean, don't you,
dear?' he asked after time.
Yes. Warren"
And are you willing to trust your
self-and him-to me?"
Yes"
Both smiled happily at each other
and then at Spot. who had brought
them together and had fostered their
attachment from its beginning.

walk together they had feigned great
interest in the subject in hand for the
purpose of beguiling Spot. Their in
terest. by a series of easy transmits
sions had passed from feigned to real.
and when Warren recovered his hat
neither noticed that no excuse for
further talk existed. Both were. there
fore, surprised and a trifle confused
when they found themselves at the
gate.
I'm very sorry that Spot put you to
such inconvenience" she said by way
of farewell.
NO harm done, I assure you." he re-
piled. Neither the hat nor my feel
ings suffered at all. Well. goodbye, old
fellow" he added. giving the dog pat
on the head.
The girl called the dog and departed
and Warren bent his steps in the di-
rection of his apartments.
"Glory, what a girl" he unused. as he
strode along. Into my life and out
again on the same afternoon. I'll prob
ably never see her again. Tough luck.
I call though luck"
Warren's somewhat incoherent proph-
ecy soon proved foulty. A week
later. as he made his regular after
noon entry into the park. he beheld
the girl and the dog coming toward
him. For q moment he was glad. but
his Joy was quickly succeeded by doubt
as he rejected that the incident Of the
week before was scarcely adequate as
the basis for an acQuaintanceship.

actions soon proved Warren a true
prophet. At first he circled about his
mistress and the bareheaded stranger,
seeking in various ways to call their
attention to the fact that the frolic
was unfinished.
When they walked on. giving no
heed to his actions, his interest began
to flag, and it was not long before he
dropped the hat at Warren's feet.
Warren picked 1t up absently and
continued both the walk and the con-
