passed and they didn't see Eileen, ex-
cept when they accidentally met her
on the street. Even then she only said
Hello" in a funny voice and kept
walking. Evidently she h a in t

Rags wished that she would. Since
Barney and Eileen had stopped see
ing each other. Barney had been sad.
No more did he romp with Rags when
he came home or give him unexpected
and intriguing delicacies. He didn't
even seem to notice when Rags per-
formed his set of tricks. Instead he
would look out the window at the
house next door and mutter to himself.
Rags suspected that the useless cat
next door had something to do with
it all
And then came the day when he
and Barney went for a stroll. Rags
saw Eileen standing on the walk in
front of her house and saw her cat
across the street. He broke into run.

Eileen running together toward
him.
The familiar words caught his ear
and Rags blissfully lay down again
and stretched his legs out starkly, his
eyes closed. This was more like old
times.
The familiar word of "Up!" failed
to come. Rags opened one eye and
took in the situation, then sat up.
Eileen was in Barney's arms and both
of them were laughing and crying all
at once and paying no attention to
him at. all

Rags knew, in some manner pecu-
liar to dogs, just when to expect Bar
ney's quick step upon the porch an
the evening when he returned from
work. This was the best hour OF
the day. for he could expect rough
snd-tumble romp with his master, aft
er which he would go through his
entire bag of tricks at Barney's COM
mand
Since he had come to live with
Barney. on Forty-first street, there
had never been any company at the
little bungalow. But one day, in
stead of Just Barney's steps on the
porch Rags alert ears detected the
slick of high heels blending with the
heavier tread and Barney entered with
the young lady who lived in the house
next door.

His resentment of this incident faded
slightly, however, when at Barney's
bidding he performed his pet tricks

his ears and said what clever dog
he was. Rags decided to be friends

home Barney would 60 about the
house singing to himself and some
times he would give Rags some of the
rare tidbits which he usually saved
for special occasions.
He had come to know that he was
supposed to obey Eileen just as he
obeyed Barney. This pleased him no
little, for he saw that Eileen, if she
did have a silly cat which was of no
earthly good living with her, was
smart enough to appreciate his clev-
erness.
A ND then one night, after Eileen
a had helped Barney with the sup

we're laughing at Rags, who was show

hand and became serious.

give up your place next door and
marry me?" Eileen stopped laughing,
too. Rags didn't understand, so he
lay down and watched them for a
hint.

to be without influence or standing

leeted to attract a crowd and gain

was a failure. The meeting was
badly conducted because Of the III

and disallusioned. He spoke brief
ly, but said nothing constructive,
nor did he outline his program.
Most noticeable was the fact that
