ing on Sara Sue Davis like that.
He couldn't blurt out news Of his
infatuation; he couldn't get fresh
with this girl; to this girl he abso-
lutely must appear gentlemanly
and refined, he felt. What, there
fore, had they in common? What
conceivable mission could have
brought him logically to her pri-
vate Office?
Frantically searching his mind
for an answer as she stood before
him, he had hit on poor Night
mare. And before he realized it he
had given Nightmare away!
Sara Sue was delighted. Z. J.
brought the ugly bulldog from his
car and presented him in the flesh.
Strangely, this did not hurt his
ct. J.'s) feelings, either. Nor for
that matter did it appear to hurt
nightmares. He (Nightmare)
licked Sara Sues hand in apparent
happiness and contentment. Mr..
Sanders didn't, but could have done
the same thing.
T. Us financial mind was reason
ing that the world is full Of good
bulldogs, but contains only One
Girl. IF Nightmare had cost him
$500 instead Of $50, the introduce
ton he was getting to this girl
was worth .ik He stopped to pet
old Nightmare with genuine affec-
ton. There was much conversation.
A deal Of talk anent diets, habits,
worms, collars, leashes, puppies,
pedigreess tricks Nightmare could
stand on two legs, do somersaults,
roll over, play dead, wear spec
tacles, and hold a cigaret in his
ferocious looking mouth. He could,
and had on one occasion, torn an
aggressive, ill-tempered police dog
to shreds, but despite his appear
ance and ability, Nightmare dis
tinctly was not a mean bully. Few
bulldogs are, for that matter. Sara
Sue thought him grand. T. j.
thought her grand. T. J. gave deep
thought to the matter Of asking
for date with Sara Sue.
Normally he wouldn't have
wasted any thought on such de-
tail. He would simply have flung
out, "I'm coming by with a can of
paint Thursday night, kid; some
Of the town needs re-painting.' =
That or some similarly cocky re-
mark. Usually he found he had an
affirmative answer. But he sensed
that he must take another tack
with Mrs. Davis, Inc.
II just felt that you liked good
dogs, Mrs. Davis" T. j. began,
fishing for an opening. $50 wanted
you to have Nightmare. It is much
better that he be with someone
who appreciates him, said to my
self yesterday. BY the way, have
you even seen the Gulfport ken
nels? Nightmare was sired there. ("

CHAPTER IA

WHEN quick on = the trigger
statesmen such as T. ]. Sanders are
caught with nothing to say, that's
news. It means one Of two things
they are ill, or they are in love
Mr.. Sanders was not i'll.
He certainly did not, as a rule,
stand gawking at pretty girls like
a yokel, either. He had never been
known to blush, or to poke his fin
ger awkardly at girls and humble,
"You-you-y-you-"
But he was doing all Of tb--;e
things now.
He had expected Mrs. Sara Sue
Davis, personally and incorporated,
to be a somewhat stoutish widow
of perhaps So, wearing a benign
smile, wearing little too much
face paint, and having a definitely
officious, managerial manner. The
Mrs. Davis who came to him,
therefore, was glorified by con-
.trast.
She had greeted him politely,
and waited. Now the moments
wait threatened to stretch into a
century. Not that century is too
long a time to stare at Sara Sue;
nothing of that sort. But, well,
when a young business man calls
on a young business woman on
business, somebody just has to
start talking sometime. Sara Sue
perceived that she would have to
go a step further.
won't you sit DOWN." She in
vited. eff there is something can
do for you"
The century began to wane,
bringing T. ]. out of his trance.
ooh. Oh, sure" he said. Gosh"
"Am I, then, so shocking?" Sara
Sue smiled.
ooh. No, ma'am! Ha, ha! I must
be acting like a freshman. The
fact is, was quite surprised. Fact
is-well-I wondered if you would
want Nightmare ? That's it, Night
mare!" He grasped at Nightmare
somewhat desperately, and in OBJ
vious relief.
Nightmare ?"
"Yes'm. My bulldog. Don't you
remember? At the game? I had
him dressed like an owl"
"Oh, yes. Surely! recognize you
now. You sat just behind mother
and me, didn't you, Mr.. Sanders.
He was nice dog. But do you
mean now"
Eyes, ma'am. I've got to get rid
of him. I mean, circumstances are
such that I shall be unable to keep
him for the next year or so, and I
remembered you got along with
him and seemed to like him (Mr.
Sanders poise, and tongue, had re-
turned so If you want him, he's
yours"
Now the fact is, T. J. Sanders
valued Nightmare somewhat more
than he did his own soul. AS a
matter of comparative statistics,
II. US books would show that he
gave $25 to churches, community
chest and other charities last wear.
but that he planked down a $50
check for Nightmare as a pup.
Sometimes Nightmare even slept
with him.
But remember that Mr.. Sanders
had been suddenly faced with a
girl who. although unknown, had
haunted him for days. When you
come abruptly face to face with
love like that, you do unaccount-
able things: He just simply had tt
have some logical excuse for call.
