clamor, so nobody paid any attention
to his assertion. ~.
"We1l have to. burst the door in,'

ner, but Wallie already had. run. for
the axe for that purpose.
Mrs. Appel, alternately gnawing her
bone and crying softly, begged them
not to let her see him If he did not
look natural, while Miss Eyester
leaned against the door-jamb in 9
fainting condition. I:
Maybe can bust it with my shoul-
DER" said Mr.. Hicks, throwing his
weight against the door.
Wallie, breathless from running, ar
rived with the axe, which he handed
to Mr.. Hicks, who called warningly as
he swung IT, :
'sStand back. Pinkey!-rm cogin'!"
The door crashed and spiintered,
and when it opened, Mr.. Hicks fell
in with it in the center Of the room.
He fell out again almost as quickly,
for there was Pinkey with the glar.
ing eyes OF a wild man, his jaws open,
and from his mouth there issued a
strange white substance.
"He's frothin'W Mr.. Hicks yelled,
shrilly. Hes got hydrophoby! Look
out for him, everybody"
G-gg-ggg-ough" gurgled Pinkey. :.
'Who bit you, felTer?" the cook
asked, soothingly.
&c gg-gg-ough!" was the agonized
answer.

tie him" Mr.. Hicks looked around to
see if there was rope handy.
Don't let him snap at you,'' called
Mr.. Stott from a afesaistance. IF IT
gets in your blood. you're goner"
The cook who,. as -Pinkey advanced
shaking his head and making vehe
ment gestures, had retreated, was sud
denly. enlightened &
"That amt froth-its plaster o. par.
isl bet you! Wait till get.a stick
and poke it,"
Pinkey nodded.
"That,s it" Mr. Hicks cried, de-
lightedly: Hes takin cast of his
gooms-I told him about it."
The look he received from Pinkey
was murderous.
"How are we going to get it :;out!
Wallie asked in perplexity. I.
tits way bigger than his mouth,
said Mr.. Appel, and old Mr.. Penrose
suggested humorously: "You might
push it down and make him swallow
it,"
| Maybe you could knock little of

Budlong. TITS hard as rock" feel

Its like taking a hook out Of cat
fish," said the cook, facetiously. Say
can you open your mouth any wider?
| Pinkey made vehement signs that
his mouth was stretched to the limit
| 'It's from ear to ear now, you might
say" observed Mr.. Budlong.> "If YOU
go to monkeying you'll have the tor
of his head off,"
"If I could just get my fist up in
the roof somehow and then pry down
on it." The size of Mr.. Hicks fist
however, made the suggestion imprac

Il believe. I can pick it off little by
little with hairpin or pair Of scis
sors or something" Miss Eyeste,
spoke both confidently and sympathet
! ically. 49,
Pinkey nodded, his eyes full Of graf
titude and suffering.
Don't laugh at him." she pleaded
as they now were bowling uproarious
4 ly. "Just leave us alone and I'll man
age it somehow"
1t proved that Miss Eyester was
not over-sanguine, for finally, with
the aid of divers tools and nipple
ments, Pinkey was able to spit out
the last particle Of the plaster Of
paris.
II s'pose the storyll go all over the
country and make me ridiculous" he
said, gloomily. Feeling the corners
of his mouth tenderly: 81 thought al
first I'd choke to death before I'd lei

cook" his eyes cleaning, "dwon't
stand hepeatin'. And if anybody dast

Whatever made you doSit?"
Too angry for finesse, Pinkey re
piled bluntly:
Il done it fer you. I thought you'd
like me better if had teeth, and now
I s'pose you can't ever look at me
without laughin'."
