The veterinary took the animal IN
his lap, and while he felt for the
break the dog looked up at him trust
fully without a snap. The boys kept
their eyes on him, too, as trustfully.
They gave q Sigh of relief when the
veterinary announced that the break,
though q bad one, could be mended
and the dog come out as good as
new.
He permitted the boys to stand In

Saving q Horse.
One afternoon during the recent

Of the sun" was being transferred
from one stable to another and had
got painfully as far as $50 Lafayette
street. where he fell down. The ami

Daniels was IN doubt about the

under observation for some time.
Although the X-ray is now being

and the bullet was found and ex-

Mrs. Adams aided from the start
