tain clearer vision of what was before

pavement with noise that nearly
caused runaway and brought the hot

ton from passing street car.
Seen from the rear, William was IN
recognizable, but interesting. He ap-
peared to be walking clothes boiler,
armed with a shield and connected. by
means of a washtub, with negro OF

fact, the group was whimsical, and

Immediately in fits Of inadequately
suppressed laughter, though neither
Miss May Parcher nor Mr.. Johnnie
Watson even remotely suspected that
the legs beneath the clothes boiler be-
longed to an acquaintance And as
for the third Of this little party, Miss
Pawher's visitor, those peregrinating
legs suggested nothing familiar to her.

she cried, addressing cottony doglet's
head that bobbed gently up and down
over her supporting arm. Sweetest

social condition must be thought even
more degraded. How frightful that
this should befall him on such day.
the very day that his soul had been
split asunder by the turquoise shafts
Of milady's eyes and he had learned to
know the real thing at last!
"Milady! Oh, miladyv'
At last he and Genesis set out on
the return trip from the secondhand
shop, bearing the two washtubs, q
clothes wringer (which Mrs. Baxter
had forgotten to mention), the tin boil
er, and followed by Clematis.
There was something really pageant
like about the little excursion now, and
the 'glittering clothes boiler, borne on
high, sent flashing lights far down the
street. The washtubs were cid fash
toned, Of wood. They refused to fit
one within the other. so William. with
his right hand, and Genesis, with his
eft,carried one of the tubs between
them.

ed the other tub upon his back by
means of bit of rope which passed
over his shoulder. Thus the tin boil

william.
The cover would not stay in place,
but continually fell off when he es-
sayed to carry the boiler by one Of its
handles, and he made shift to manage
the accursed thing in various ways, the
only one proving physically endurable
being, unfortunately. the most gro
tesque. He was forced to carry the
cover in his left hand and to place his
head partially within the boiler itself
and to support it-tilted obliquely to
rest upon his shoulders-as a kind OF
monstrous tin cowl or helmet.
This had the advantage Of somewhat
concealing his face, though when he

suddenly, he made feroci0us gestures,

The dog turned, ran back few
PAGES, halted and then began to follow
again, whereupon Genesis pretended
to hurl stones at him. But the animal
only repeated his maneuver.
"I'll show himv' said William holly.
"I'll show him he can't follow me!'
He charged upon the dog, shouting
fiercely. The hunted animal, abandon
ing his partial flights, turned tucked
under tail, ran all the way back to
the alley and disappeared from sight.
''There," said William, 81 guess that'Il

they went ON. HE new did stop fol-

"Well, he can't follow me!' said the
surging William, in whose minds eye
fingered the vision of an exquisite dog

cottony head bobbing gently over a
tilmy sleeve.

Williams suffering eyes were fixed
upon remoteness, and his lips moved
now and then like a martyrs, pro-
nouncing inaudibly a sacred word

laughter.

ahead. Look ayonnuh! No, sub, pres.

And there, at the corner before them,
waited Clematis, roguishly lying In a
mud puddle in the gutter. He had run
through alleys parallel to their course.
There was nothing to do but to give
up, and 80 the trio proceeded.
Nobody, William reflected, seeing
him in such company could believe
that he belonged to lone Of the Oldest
and best families in town." Nobody
would understand that he was not
walking with Genesis for the pleasure
of his companionship until they got

in the shadowy interior of the clothes
boiler were features stricken with sud-
den, utter horror. "Flopit!'
The attention Of Genesis was attract
ed by a convulsive Juggling Of the tub
which he supported in common with
William. 1t seemed passionately to
urge greater speed.
"Walk faster! You got to walk
faster!'
II got plenty time cut at grass befo'
you pa gifts home" Genesis said re-
assuringly. This here rope what I
got my extry tub slung to is mos wo'
plum thew my hide"
| Having uttered this protest, he con-
tinued to ambulate at the same pace,
though somewhat assisted by the for
ward pull of the connecting tub.
The amusement of the second group
having abated through safety, the
minds of its components turned to 9TH
er topics. "Now Flopit must have his
darlin' ickle rum" said Flopit's mis-
.tress, setting the doglet upon the
ground. That's why sweetest Flopit
and l and all Of us came for walk
instead Of sitting on the nice. cool
porchkins. See the sweetie toddle!
Isn't he adorable, May? Isn't he ador-
able, MI. Watson?"

was q mere YES"

packing upon the sidewalk. He ap-
preached with glowing eagerness at a
gallop. Flopit was about the ME Of
Clematis' head, and, although Clematis
was certain that Flopit was something
alive, he could not decide what.
Flopit paid not the slightest atten-
ton to Clematis. The self importance
Of dogs, like that Of the minds Of men,
