AS a boy, he loved dogs, but
his parents would never permit
him TO have a dog in the house.
At twenty-one he made a large
sum Of money in business deal.
Tho first thing he did was to
purchase a $1,000 rug for the par

q plate fun Of food for his dog,
invited the canine in and per-

It was his conviction that q

dog before.
In my personal experience with
dogs have seen things 90 un.
canny that I hesitate to tell them.
Once. while living at an uptown
hotel, there was a mailman that
my dog disliked. He was the only
person I have ever seen toward
whom he showed a really vicious
attitude. That mailman was later
arrested for attempting to rob
my rooms and some rooms ad-
