How do you do, Mr.. Wallace. I
understand you have a sick dog.
Whereu I find him?"
Here" Jim said. pointing to the
davenport. Il guess it's poison, Doc.
He seems pretty bad"
The proprietor Of the pet hospital
approached Pat. Il see," he said
speculatively. He knelt beside the
terrier and studied his eyes.
A moment later he had the medi-
cal case open on the table and was
preparing a mixture. Jim held the
dogs body rigid while the veter-
marian forced the dose down the
animals throat.
There were writings and wrig-
glings and more cries Of pain. For
nearly an hour DR.. LOOMS stayed
watching the dog, trying to relieve
his torture.
Il can't promise anything" the
veterinarian said as he finally
turned to leave. Its impossible
to be sure how much of the poison
the dog swallowed. If he didn't get
too much, the medicines ought to do
the work.
you can feel encouraged that
he's stayed alive this long. Most
poisons work fast Well, I'll say
good-day now. Give me a ring
about O'Clock, will you?"
You're sure there's nothing more
you can do?" Gypsy asked anx-
iously.
Nothing to do now but wait, -
LOOMS said, shaking his head. 1.-THE
animal has a chance, all right. If
there's any decided change, I'd like
to hear about it,"
He went then. Gypsy and jim
fingered beside the sick dog. Pres
emily jim left to telephone that he
would not return to the Office that
afternoon.
II DON'T like the way his eyes
Il look,'' Jim complained, leaning
forward and staring at Pat intently
Or. LOOMS said he had q
chancew
Later Gypsy stole out Of sthe room
and left the two together. Dusk
came and Jim did not turn on the
light in the living room. When din
ner was served he refused to leave
the dog.
Gypsy sat by Pat while her hus-
band snatched a hasty meal. Then
she went to the table and Jim took
up his watch again. At 7 o'clock he
insisted LOOMS should return and
have a look at the terrier.
The report from the second visit
was more hopeful. The veterinarian
said he believed Pat would pull
through.
He gave instructions for the dogs
care next day. Again If anything
unusual happened, he asked to be
notified.
my land-the way Mr.. Wallace
acts you'd think it was a person
that was sickl" Matilda declared to
Gypsy in the kitchen.
But he's had Pat ever since the
dog was a tiny puppy" the girl said.
Besides, Pats such a good dog! It
nearly breaks my heart to see him
lie there suffering and so helpless
It's so much worse because he can't
tell us how he feels!'
"Pitiful, all right Matilda agreed
half-heartedly. "but I never saw
goings-on over a sick dog before"
There were to be further "goings-
on" All through the night Jim and
Gypsy alternated in constant vigil
over Pat. jim stayed with the dog
until j O'Clock.
Then Gypsy appeared, wrapped
In her yellow bathrobe, and in
sisted that he should get some sleep.
At 4 o'clock Jim was back again,
sleepy-eyed but firm In his de-
termination to take the girls place.
Little Pat seemed quieter. He was
doing. =
BY morning they knew the dog
would recover. Pat even rallied to
the extent of beating a feeble rat
a-tat-tat with his tail when Jim
looked in on him before going to
the Office. There was great re-
joicing in the household.
Two days more and the terrier
seemed to be romping as gaily as
