Love. "And my initials carved so
neatly. How nice of him."
And here's mine," joyfully parked
the old dog. thrusting his paw in his
tattered waistcoat pocket. But. oh
dear me! 1t wasn't there. Nor in his
coat-tai pocket. Nor yet in his coat
pockets.
Gould I have lost it?" cried the
disappointed old fellow, his tail
dropping between his legs.
Lost what?" all of sudden ask
ed sweet voice, and there sat little
Bobbie Redvest on a nearby bush.
Il had a little gold ring for Lady
Love-" answered the Yellow Dog
Tramp ut was in my vest pocket

Chestnut Tree. but now it's gone"
"You stay here" cried the little
redvested bird. 'Pll fly back and
look under the tree. Maybe it's
there" and away he flew. dear little
bird that he is.
"Please don't look so disappoint-
ed" said Lady Love. patting the old
dogs ear. you've brought me one
present"
"But I wanted to give you one,
too" he answered with a feeble wag
of his thin tall.
you've always been so kind to me.
Tho. yellow hobo dog I be.
Altho' a patch is in my pants
You never looked at me askance,
Nor labelled me a WORTHLESS scamp
Because l love to tramp and tramp
Through shady wood and whispering
glen
Far from the homes Of working men,"
"Come, come. Don't be so mourn
full" coaxed Lady Love. smoothing
the crinkled collar of his old khaki
shirt,
you've always been friend in need.
You've sawed our wood and often
freed
My little bunny boy and me
When threatened by calamity"
Yes. indeed. The little rabbit lady
spoke the truth. Many and many a
time the old dog has split the kind
ling wood, and on several occasions
had rescued both little rabbits from
Danny Fox and other disagreeabIe
people like Old Man Weasel and Mr..
Wicked Void. And in the next
story you shall hear what happened
after that.

BUSINESS MEN
CHANGE PLACES
Stores Move Up and Down
the Street-Mar is
Latest to Go

The past month has seen many
changes in the business life of Ken
newick. Moves have been and are be-
ing made quite regularly and the
whole town has changed, apparently.
The first change was when the Pen
|ney store took over the Golden Rule,
then moved to the new location. Then
the Piggly Wiggly caused Jim Haw-
lkins to vacate, while they occupied
the old Merchants Bar location. When
the Penney store vacated the Golden
Rule location the Hulet Grocery NOV
ed in. Then Hawkins moved in where
the grocery moved out.
The Mack's Cash store consolidated
and moved down the street. The build
ing is being changed preparatory to
the occupation by w. L. Marsh with
lhis stock Of mems furnishings!
Mr.. Marsh started about four years
ago in part of the Beste building
with a cleaning and tailoring shop
Gradually he added small stock AND
soon outgrew the location. Moving in
to the theatre building his business
prospered until now he has outgrowr
his present quarters. For some time
he has contemplated getting into 9
larger room and when the vacancy
was made in the Hover block, he i'm.
mediately took it.
Mr.. Marsh expects to be able t
lget moved over the week end, read!
for business some time Monday.

With the Lewis county band oc-
cupying most of the grand stand
Wednesday, a small crowd watched
the Kennewick team hand six runs
