nered, blooded Belgian police dog

hit it of we'll together from the first.
The dog followed the policeman
wherever he went.
Mr.. jenkins. however, had two dogs
at home. He could not find the

learned, she was wearing stolen

The officer at length found a place

that, will seek a proper home for
the stray with somebody who will
buy her tag and look after her.
IF it wasn't for the fact had

that police dog would be out at my
house now. She came from good
home-that's obvious-and I'm going

ing stations selling at District prices.
When the error was discovered the
District agreed on the $685. re-
fund-said to be the largest Of this
