/ come home the first day and told you
the teacher had begun her education
by losing her temper at her and had
ended up by screaming and swearing
at her and by kicking her in the head?
"The child would have done mighty
little learning. with a teacher like
that, wouldn't she? Well, can you ex-
pect a six-month puppy to have more
sense or to learn quicker than Six
year-old child? If you granddaughter
couldn't learn her alphabet by being
kicked in the head, how can you ex-
pect puppy to learn to lie down or
to shake hands by that same kind of
teaching?
"You could keep your temper with
grown men. You could keep it be-
cause there'd have been a comeback
and disgrace and failure if you lost it.
You could keep from kicking men. If
you could do that, you can keep from
kicking helpless puppy that loves
you and that wants to please you.
"A puppy is only baby. He has to
learn a strange language and at the
same time to learn the law and learn
tricks. It's big order. By patience
and by gentleness and firmness and
by common sense he can be taught
all those things; lot quicker than
we humans could. His lessons could
be made jolly romp for him. You've
been making them horror. No won
der he doesn't get anywhere with
them.
THE only way to train a dog is
this: First teach him to obey you.
He's glad to do II, if you go at the
business right. Then start in with
other things you want him to learn.
1.-THE minute he gets confused or
scared. change the lesson into a romp
or else give him some tidbit to eat.
Then, later, start the same lesson over
again. always stopping when he gets
confused.
$50 step by step. Take your time
In very little while you'll find he's
enjoying it and that he's learning as
fast as you can teach him. It'll pay
in the long run.
IF you'd like me to train that pup
to do few simple tricks and a few
necessary things, I'll drop around to-
morrow afternoon. when my works
done, and begin his education"
The colonel was red and frowning.
But presently he blurted:
II suppose you're right. Maybe it
is who am the fool, and not the
puppy. Come around. ibid like to
watch you do it."
"Goodl" approved Old Man Negley.
Tomorrow afternoon. Till then, don't
try to make him do anything in THE
way of learning. Be gentle with him.
Take him for walk. Feed him bits
of animal crackers. Make him forget
he's so afraid of you. Maybe We'll
be in time to save him from being
cowed for good. There's nothing
that's such a give-away to the rotten
ness of a man as his cowed dog
mot that believe in spelling a dog
or giving him his own way. All my
dogs have to mind me, and mind me
ON the jump. But they can be taught
to do it by love better than by boot
toe"

only feeling was mild curiosity as
to what was going to happen next.
The voices came nearer, and he
found himself being lifted out of the
car. In doing so his hat was pulled
back little so that he could see, and
the first thing he noticed was his own
new Rolls-Royce. They couldn't have
brought it to the Ritz, he reflected,
where it might have been recognized
and an unwilling admiration for the
master brain that had thought out
every detail, and the wonderful or
ganization that allowed of them being
carried out, took hold of his mind.
The men wheeled him, alongside his
own car; then they lifted him out Of
his chair and deposited him on the
back seat. Then the Italian and the
other man who had been at the Ritz
sat down one one each side Of him,
while a third man took the wheel.
Look slippy, Bill" said the big man
beside him. "a boat will be coming
through about half-past nine."
A boat! What was that @about a
boat! Were they going to send him
out to sea, then, and let him drown?
If so, what was the object of getting
his own car? The hat slipped for
ward again, but he guessed by some of
the flaring lights he could dimly see
that they were going through sIums.
The headlights were on, and Hugh
judged that they were going about
thirty-fve miles an hour. And he also
guessed that it was about forty-five
minutes before they pulled up, and the
engine and lights were switched off.
The men beside him got out, and he
promptly rolled over into corner,
where they left him lying.
"This is the place to wait" he heard
the Italian say. "You go ON, Franz,
to the corner, and when it's ready
flash your torch. You'll have to stand
