With the two boys working, the
tire was not hard to change. Just as
Bob, was starting to tighten lid the
rim bolts. however, George looked at
his watch.

call mother up. She'll be worried"
Bob rose from his crouched 20

he answered. "You might run over

You had better call my folks and tell
them, too"
''All right. I'll be back in a. min.

Ruth Has a SlSnting Cat

We have lotte-s and more letters

us Of a very unusual cat. Bobby"
as she calls her cat. is rainbow colored.
having black, tan, white and gray
marks on him. Bobby looks as
though his body were slanting, be-
cause he is higher in the back than in
the front. He has only one ear and
instead of 1T standing up straight in
the air, 1t lays down close to his head
Ruth says that he does not meow like
ordinary cats. but makes a sort of
growing noise In his throat. Bobby
is very unfriendly TO persons he does
not know and on one occasion when
they had company to dinner. he
walked under the table and bit one of
the ladies on the ankle. To members
of the family, Bobby is very gracious.
This Dog Understands German.
A German police dog that is really
and truly German is the pet OF Geor-
gia Silver of Chicago. Ill. Georgia
tells us that the dog does not under
stand English and must be given all
his orders in German. He was i'm
ported from his native country when
just puppy. and 1t would seem that
he has never been "naturalized."
Georgia calls her pet Rolf, and not
long ago she got him a muzzle. Now
when Rolf wants to be taken out. he
runs and gets the muzzle. That's
almost like the little boy who ran for
the switch so that his mother could
whip him. Rolf is a good watch dog.
