Whom did he bite?' she cried dis tractedly.
 That rude little Hopscotch boy, who had seen the whole affair, gig led, but nobody paid any attention to him. Mrs. Sweetcake was trying to find the mangled part of Toco and it was difficult because when cat has it's attention fixed on something else it resents interference and Toco's mind was utterly intent on the craven bull dog. You could see he was all .puffed up like q small boy and who has just licked his first victim. He kept missing and splitting and swelling out his chest and Mrs. Sweetcake cried out that he was dying and she should think folks would be ashamed to keep such an awful brute as~that dreadful Limp handler dog and something must be done about it.
 ''Then Mrs. Limphander ran out into the middle of the street, still hanging onto the bulldog, and cried that when people knew dog was high spirited and would defend himself they had no business to let cats sit on the front steps to tempt him-and Mrs. Sweet. cake came out to her curb with Toco ill her arms and she guessed she thought just as much of her cat as the Limp handlers did of their old bulldog, and if the cat died she should see her law yer.
 Mrs. Sweetcake said if folks insisted on owning brute of dog they must expect to suffer the consequences-and Mrs. Limphander restorted that while Ananias had a perfectly placid dispo- sition when he was let alone he had a perfect right to attack. When a serious minded, gentlemanly dog was trottinf

 Marian saw. Harold Sumner glide into the room, but James Horton, pant ing for breath, was too intent on what he had in mind to notice the minister.

 He stopped, gazing for moment at his younger daughter. As if in answer to his injury in his eyes, she spoke quickly.
 Every cent you--or any of US owed has been paid, dear Dad. Please be quiet now and wait to talk until you are stronger
 "I cannot" James Horton ex- piained. T feel stronger now than I have at all before. It is because you have come, my child-and because I must set some things right. Where is Mir. Sumner?'

 Mrs. Limphander gasped that if Mrs. Sweetcake did not take that cat right into the house at once she should not be answerable for the future be- cause mere look would show how she had to hang on to Ananias in or der to control him and Mrs. Sweet cake said he couldn't be much of dog anyway and if she did not look out he would dig hole clear through the paving trying to hide from a poor lit tie cat that had no means whatever of protecting itself except it's tiny paws. "Pawsv shrieked Mrs. Limphander, stepping aside and exposing the gory countenance of the abashed Ananias. Claws, vicious, deadly claws and noth- ing less, were responsible for the mar ring of her pets beauty. No doubt he was blinded, lamed, hamstrung and apo plectic from his shocking experience"

The bulldog had never met anything like it and when he paused to catch his breath and consider Toco reached out one paw and clawed his nose just awfully.

Especially Good
 for Breakfast Toast

Big Aaky slices, even tex tured and bountifully laden with nutrition, this bread makes excellent breakfast toast. And why not, for into it goes rich milk, fine Western -four, pure vege~ table shortening and then barley malt which makes a delicious nut milk flavor you can't resist. Every loaf runs true to quality specifi- cations-thoroughly mixed and scientifically baked and teeming with health giving calories. Two sizes-1Oc and 15c-both generously big and we'll worth the price. The 15c size is a split loaf which is very convenient. Perhaps you'll like the big size better. Try it next CIXn@e.
