The Dog Follows His Nose

"Do you see that carp asked the
dog, suddenly stopping squirming and
cooking his head TO one side. Even
through the fog they could see his ear,
or rather what was left of it, for the
ear had been clipped in two as if by a

She now fixed her attention on Slim

But to the music Of the piano and
one violin Slim was again giving an
exhibition with his dancing partner.
Jennie slipped through the screens and
made for the table Slim occupied be-

with excitement, her dark checks high

and his great plans had not included the
possibility of such a rebuff. Then his
lean checks flushed.

In him was an uprushing desire to
avenge her insult by inflicting bodily
suffering which would leave no telltale
marks as evidence, as blows unfortu-
nately do, he thought of clever, ex
cruciating twist of the arm with which
he was well acquainted. Jennie made
no outcry she was quick enough of wit
