ert Young, Betty Furness, Thurs
ton Hall, Raymond Walburn, and
Bruce Cabot. A free adaptation
of a story by Damon Runyon tells

the undercurrent of tenderness
that escapes mawkishness. give it
a new appeal. The title is extra

Listening! But what on earth

Il hear you and young lady talk

But why should you be inter-

might have to say concerning Pete?"
Fluffy" corrected Patricia.
"Chung!" said Hop Soy unexpect-

"Say!" blurted David.
Chung" explained Hop Soy, "is
what Yee Sing and myself call the
dog"
"Yee sing!" Patricia gasped. why,
Yee Sing is our gardener!"
WEE SING also my cousin,

Chung from pup. We both like dog
very much. Six months ago 1 get

He give Chung to Miss Ames, so

was wondering il"
IF my dog could be your dog?"
finished David Corbin, good-naturedly.
II hardly think so. But perhaps you'd
like to see him, just to assure your
self Won't you come IMP"
Patricia hesitated. Doris Graham
had said that Mr.. Corbin in 1905
was a bachelor. In that case
"You-you're alone?"
We'll, yes. Except for Hop Soy
my Chinese cook. He's preparing
supper. But can assure you-"
"Yes-er-thank you" Patricia

were her own she meant to find it
out-regardless of conventions.
Almost at once her eyes lit upon the
tiny white animal curled up on pill
low in one corner of the living room.
She gave a little cry of delight.
~Fluffy!"
THE dog small, white, shaggy, might
have been a mixture of Spitz.
Chow and Pekingese. With joyful
yelp he bounded forward toward the
exultant Patricia.
"Fluff-darling She fell into an
overstuffed chair and. grading him
in her lap, began scratching his throat
and murmuring, Nice little doggy
nice little doggy-oh, I'm so glad to
have you back!"
I'm sorry, Miss Ames, but I'm sure
you must be mistaken" David had
seated himself stiff1y on the sofa across
from her THE dog IS quite definitely
mine. And his name does not happen
to be Fluffy"
But of course he's mine!" declared
Patricia. why, there couldn't pos
sibly be another dog like him! Be-

Is to see mel"
"He-uh-probably just wants to be
friendly"

from her arms, scrambled across the

"Why-er-about three months"
"Ah-of course! 1t was just three
months ago he disappeared! Where,
may I inquire, did you find him?"
II didn't find him." David assured
her. My cook, Hop Soy, gave him to me.
And" he added, patting the dogs head,
"I intend to keep him, Miss Ames."
How long did you have the dog,
Miss Annes," asked David suddenly,
before you lost him?"
"Why-just about three months,
but"
But I had him first! Naturally
Where he kept on relentlessly,
"did you get him?"
What has that to do with it? Six
months ago my father employed a
man as gardner. The man had a
little dog and he told me I could
have him. Three months later the
dog disappeared. But he's still mine |!
