TT STARTED with some clumsy lit
tie puppies romping in sawdust-
filled show window at Atherton's
u pet shop at 6l2 F street yesterday
afternoon.
A large crowd gathered to watch
when the romping turned into
scufning, and finally, when one Of
three Boston terriers took nip at a
fox terriers leg, an onlooker thought
things had gone far enough and called
police.
The melee inside the show window
grew louder when three of the little
Boston bulls concentrated their en-
ergies on one fox terrier. Another
spectator decided firemen were quicker
than police and jerked down q nearby
alarm lever.
In no time at all II fire trucks,
sirens and all, had roared up in front
Of the little pet shop, which was
locked. A fire rescue car and two
police squad cars slid up to the curb
and two fire chiefs drove up. Rescuers
from a police patrol car showed their

gently. You're trying to make me

returned firmly. 1T doesn't ring true,

They had circled around the north
east section and were coming back
through North Terrace Park. Jessie
suddenly swerved the big Car to the
edge of the boulevard and stopped. She
shut off the trundling motor and ex-
tinguished the headlights, leaving only
the faint glimmer of the parking
markers on the glistening sides of the
long hood. 1t was a lonely spot and
the drive was devoid of other traffic.

faced him Her eyes held him sQuarely
and he was again impressed with
something unyielding, resistless, in
their depths.

from her voice. Il want to ask you

gone too far to retract
