Archworth III. had cherished
a dream of some day rescuing
a beautiful damsel in distress,
and the girl in his immediate
pathway. as he stepped from
the train in Pennsylvania

distressed as a damsel could

"Aunt RhOda-please:" pro-
tested Dorothy.
AFFECTION INCREASES
The shifting aristocrat from
Little Creek Falls failed to
improve with acquaintance.
Tommy was able to bear up
under it principally because
Dorothy-and Mile too, for
that matter. displayed con-
stantly increasing affection.
Miles alteration proved a
dubious blessing, particularly
as Dorothy advanced it as a
reason, admitting of no argu-
ment, why he should always
take the beast for a walk.
Mile, he discovered, had
eccentricities; and one in
particular calculated to scar
the soul. She'd prance out of
of the apartment, head up and
tail wagging. But if other
persons were in the elevator.
and she was assured of an
audience, she'd let both ends
droop and cringe like>a beaten
thing. This never failed to
elicit sympathy-which was
what she wanted. Once
Tommy could have strangled
the little devil when he heard
a woman whisper to her
escort, "Poor little tyke, I'll
bet he whips her."
Mile had another standard
act. When the elevator
reached the lobby she'd take
three PAGES forward, then
squat right in the elevator
door. Tommy would be forced
to drag her out bodily, thus
winning more sympathy for
the dog and more dirty looks
for himself.
