Third Ace. Cur-Dogs Spread
Terror in Ornate apartments
Mike and Ike Experience Glorious Day in Wild
Orgy of Chewing Legs and Trousers Before Sci
ence and Police Subdue and Land Them i'm Cell

Mike and Ike, just dogs, without
pride of ancestry or hope of prosper
ity, had their day yesterday. They
left their humble lairs somewhere
about Third Avenue and the Harlem
River and trotted purposefully and adj
and truly gilded and hall-boyed section
of Seventh Avenue.
In some way. known only to Third
Avenue dogs, they gained the roof of
an ornate structure at 1854 Seventh
Avenue, and for four hours after q
portly laundress Of royal African
lineage had inadvertently readmitted
them to the luxurious precincts of the
apartment house they held all it's occu-
pants in state of siege, withstanding
attacks by the superintendent, the po-
lice and dog fancier. They succumbed
at last only to treacherous attack
with cyanide of potassium.
Bridget Their First Victim
How the dogs reached the roof is a
mystery. They were there, however,
toied to the top of the stairs with a
basket Of laundry. No sooner had
Bridget opened the door than Ike and
Mike sprang joyously upon her.
Bridget was seriously upset, and so
was the aristocratic laundry she car
ried.
Bridget, dogs and laundry tumbled
heller SHELTER down the stairs, the
laundress seeking shelter in the near
est apartment as soon as she could
scramble to her feet, whence she
shrieked an alarm that reached the
furthest corner of the building. Ike
and Mike revelled in silk lingerie until
the arrival of Harry Goldie, superin-
tendent of the building, promised more
entertaining activities.
They sprang at Mr.. Goldie with the
same enthusiasm with which Bridget
had been greeted, but. with more sue
cess. The teeth of Ike met in the left
leg of Mr.. Goldie's trousers, grazing
his leg, and the teeth of Mike did like
wise to his other trousers leg. They
peeled those trousers off the superin-
tendent with the same ease that skill
full cook pinches an onion out of its
wrinkled outer skin.
Mr.. Goldie started for the privacy of
his basement quarters without delay,
ms SHlIC stanulng stralgnt out Dehlnd
him, while Ike and Mike grinned at
each other and divided the trousers
amicably. This, said their looks of dog
gish delight, was the life.
By this time the entire building was
in tumult, Ike and Mike having raced
up and down stairs with samples of
the laundry which was their first fruits
of victory while awaiting Mr. Goldie' S
arrival. Tenants with chain locks on
their doors peered fearfully through
the apertures allowed by these fasten-
ings, while Sidney Swain, the elevator
operator, raced up and down in his car
after the frolicking dogs, shouting It'd
lngs to the tenants of every floor.

Methodists to Take Up
Where Dancers Left OFF
Reject Reform Step Proposed
by Teachers, Seek ''Mutual
Athletics" for Young
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, Sept. DIR. c. H. Nc
Crea, assistant editor of "The North
western Christian Advocate" announced
to-day that the Dancing Masters Asso-
citation had given up trying to reform
the Methodist Church. The organiza-
ton had endeavored to have the
Methodists lift the ban on dancing and
so devised the Wesleyan, dance which
provided less physical contact. The
masters made an Intellectual effort to
have this figure approved by the
churchmen.
Dr.. McCrea said, however, that the
old problem may yet be solved by the
simple invention of mutual athletics"
to replace dancing.
Since the instructors have given IN
the Methodists," said DR.. McCrea, now
let the Methodists reform the dance by
devising some form of mutual ath-
letics that will have all that is harm
less and provide all that is lacking for
both sexes"

Bedtime. Stories
The Great Surprise
By Thornton w. Burgess

Striped Chipmunk.

1t is good to be missed. 1t is good
to have people say pleasant things
about one. 1t is good to know that
neighbors have kindly thoughts of
one. But what pity 1T is that so
seldom does one know of these things!
Over in the Old Orchard there was
great sadness Every one was GER
tain that Striped Chipmunk had been
killed in the great storm that morn
ing. ALI had seen the hole made by
the lightning close to where Striped
Chipmunk's home was known to be,
and as no sign Of him had been seen
since, it must be that he had been
killed.
SO far as known everybody else had
escaped with nothing worse than
great fright or some bruises. Striped
Chipmunk was the only one missing
late that afternoon.
"He was good neighbor," said
Jenny Wren.
There isn't one of us who would

"And what worker he was!" ex-
claimed Sammy Jay. There wasn't
a lazy bone in his whole body. When
he had work to do he made play of it.
Anyway. he seemed as happy working
az most folks do at play"
"He couldn't really sing, but I
loved to hear him try. His was one

Old Orchard" spoke tip Kitty the Cat

There were tears in Peters eyes and
little choking sound in his voice.

After unguents and fresh trousers
had been applied to his legs by Mrs.
Goldie, the superintendent called the
police of the West 1884 Street station.
Patrolman Volk was sent. Ike and
Mike we're glad to see him and sam
pied his trousers with taste that had
grown discriminating.
After the first encounter Patrolmsn
Volk stod with his back to the wall
and blew his police whistle until two
more patrolmen, fully trousered. ar
rived. The three entered the building
and found Ike, the lop-eared reprobste,
some such garment on the first floor.
At their approach he capered glee-
fully about, lodging their nightsticks
and escaping a short range bullet by
some canine miracle. Then he darted
toward them, snatched a generous
mouthful of Patrolman Goodyear's trou-
sers and ran upstairs to impart the
glad tidings to Mike that fresh blue
trousers had arrived.
A tenant, who had been waiting for
more than an hour for chance to
dodge into the elevator to start shop
ping tour, hurled a chop in his path as
he passed the fourth floor. Ike paused
only to sniff at it and then went his
pIouS way. III was PORK Cuop'
The chop thrower darted into the
had passed upward, but Ike found Mike
on the next floor and both ran to the
ground floor in such haste that they
met that tenant at the elevator door,
which she slammed in their faces, and
then motioned h elessly to Swain to
take her up again.

The patrolmcn, ragged and raging,
sought help from Charles Klinke, a
dog fancier of 1921 Eighth Avenue,
while Mr.. Goldie, clad in tough and
unappetizing overalls, vainly pursued
Ike and Mike up and down stairs with
butterfly net furnished by the resi-
dent entomologist with many misgiv-
ings.
Klinke arrived with large bottle Of
cyanide of potassium solution, With
which two mops were saturated. Two
of the patrolmen, armed with the mops,
tilted then with Ike and Mike after
the fashion of Sir Launcelot, Sir Kay
or Sir Gslahad and sore and man
fully they fought until the valiant Ike
and Mike found no more SAVIOR in eva
hide of potassium, and yielded them
selves prisoners.
They were led in triumph to the
police station and locked in cells to
await an agent of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. But
even in defeat and in the bitter after
math of overindulgence in cyanide OF
potassium there was CLEAN of salts

legs twitched on the concrete floor of
their cell as they lived their glorious
day over again in their dreams, once
more seeing Bridget catapulted by
their charge and again smacking their
lips over trousers of official blue.
