 Of course every one in Tinikletown knew, and had known for the matter of week or more, that Mort Fryback's bulldog was 'fost strayed or stolen, " but this was the first giaring intimn- ton that Mort had also lost his mind. n tho first place, Mike--as ho was famil!agIy known to every !nhnbitant,-- wasn't worth more than c dollar and a half when he was in his prime, and that, according to recollection, must have been aE least twelve or fifteen years prior <o his unexplained disap- pearnnoe. h the second place, t was pretty generally understood that Mike s-Feeeatiy Marmaduke--had surropti- t!cuaiy taken dose of prussia acid in 6 shed back of Kepsars blacksmith shop and was now enjoying state of perfect rejuvenation in the happy hunting ground,

 'Te begin with.n explained All, rthere Ria't a dog In sliis town that's worth steaiin'. to say ncthin' of three deliaFA You can't tell me that Mort FFyhaeh would give three dollars to get that dog back, not even if he was ellve-whieh he ain't if you e'n hellevs Ell WepHai No, sir, It's just because , Andersen wants te see his name in print, that's what it Is, bet if you was to ask Mert if he has agreed to pay--.heW much is It all tcids--twenty- eight aeilars-=,if he has agreed 10 pay all that MeRey for nothin', he'd order you out of his store"
 Mrs, FFyhaek told my wife a couple ef weeks ago that Marmaduka was q prise bull, and she wouldn't take a hundred dellara fer hiu,n said Newt epFatt, nEeems that she had seme- beay ieeA up his pedigree, and he turns cut te be q etepsan or something ike that of a deg that won first prize ct a bench ahewy-whatever that is--!n New YeFA City"
 ''Jiver aiaee that actress woman was here last faii-that friend ef Harry eausFes, mean--every derned dog in town has turned out to be related some way or ether to a thoroughbred animal ia Rame ether city" said All 'Why, even that maney shepherd dog of peaeen Aanks-aeoordiH' to Mrs, AanA==is a direct descendant of two ef the finest hosten terriers that ever came cut of hostan, She tald me so herself, but, ef course, couldn't ask hew he happened te leak So much liks a shepherd aea and go little like h,s parents, 'eause there's no use makia peer MFH, Rank any mere miserahie than she already is7-she certainly dent get any fun eut ef life Twin with the deaeeH from enc years cad to the ether.
