For three days the dogs - ribbon winners
every one, or they could not be here - have
been led before the judges, class by class,
breed by breed, group by group. A wearing
grueling, nerve fraying three days of babble
and crowds, flashlights and microphones.
Then. at last. the big final event: choice of
Best -in-Show.
The finalists are led into the ring, cham
pions all. A Kerry blue, an Afghan, collie,
a miniature pinscher, white poodle - and
Brucie, the cocker. Their handlers move them
up and down the ring in overwhelmingly
graceful motion, pose them like proud living
statues How can judge choose!
But long before the judge is through study
ing them, the vast audience has become
roaring claque for one dog: Brucie. Why? 1t is
not that the Others lack single attribute of
grace and beauty; it is because Brucie, just
little bit more than any other dog in the
place, has lift of the head, an eagerness in
his STEP an inspired zest and merry challenge
that set him ahead of all the rest. He seems to
sense what Mellenthin wants of him. he won't
be counted out
Other things being equal that spirit must
weigh with judge as it does with crowd
And it happens, as it has happened time and
again, that the judge finally lifts his arm
over Brucie. The crowd goes wild Hundreds
start swarming down into the enclosure in a
veritable movie mob scene Flashlights pop,
and voices rise in a wild crescendo. 1t is a
moment calculated to terrify a lion. But
Brucie doesn't culver muscle He just looks
up at Mellenthin. The Man is there, and
obviously happy Nothing else matters.
And so you see, the real story of Brucie is
the perfect dog story: he loves his master his
master loves him. Only death ends that story.

the foot of the stairs for the invitation to 60
up and visit. Then he would get up on the
bed, but with the gentleness of understanding,
and stay there quietly.
Oh. yes, that sort of thing is natural in a
dog - if dog has had chance to learn to
love and be loved Brucie learned that from
his first day with the Morises
When the time came, in 1887, for Brucie to
leave the Morises and start his serious career,
he was. beyond question, beautiful dog: he
had a level back strong front, luxurious
coat But, more than that, he was dog whose
heart and spirit were as fully developed as his
muscles.

boy whom they had taken in and raised.
If Brucie could just grow up in that atmo-
sphere -.
Brucie did.
If you had happened by the Morris farm in
the Catskill Mountains five years ago, you
might have seen Brucie playing around -
chasing the ball that Buster the boy, threw
for him; trying to catch frogs in the little
pond; dashing up the side of the mountain on
the scent of some uncatchable game You
would have thought that he was merry little
pup, but it would hardly have occurred to
you that here was a dog being educated to 60
to the top of canine aristocracy. He just had
good full dogs life, like your dog or mine.
Before Brucie had been there long, MIR.
Morris became i'll, the beginning of long
invalidism that ended only with his death
some months ago. And it was with that illness
that Brucie began to reach the full inner
stature of true dog. He had loved to romp
with Mr.. Morris, to come and jump up in his
lap But now, when Mr.. Morris sat in his
invalids chair out under the trees, BruCie
sensed that he was not to jump up any more.
Instead, he sat at the sick mans feet for
hours looking up, wagging his tail at each
word of companionship. And when Mr.. Morris
had to be kept in bed Brucie would wait at

MlELLENTHIN had not seen much of him in
those first two years. But now it was his turn
to be The Man in Brucie's life. And because
Brucie had learned to know people, he
adopted Mellenthin almost at once Today,
Others may feed him, groom him, walk with
him - and he repays them with friendship -

Mas. MORAN fused over the pups. played
with them. loved them. As soon as they were
big enough to stand on their wobby legs, she
began training them to pose as they would
have to do if they ever began seeking dog
show titles
As they developed, two of the pups one
male and one female, seemed to be outstand-
ing in physical quality. And when the litter
was three months old, and Mellenthin came
for all but one of them he'd promised the
Morans their choice to keep, Mrs. Moran
had to pick between the two. Hating to part
with any of them. she finally elected to keep
the female. So Brucie, though not yet named
said good-by to his first love.
Mellenthin put the six pups on the seat of
the car beside him and started for his place in
Poughkeepsie By the time he got there he
had made decision. For years he had been
waiting to name dog after Red Brucie, but
never had he been quite satisfied that he had a
candidate worthy of such honor. Now, as he
stopped the car he picked up that most
promising of the SIX black pups. You're the
one" he told the pup. you are Brucie.'
In Livingston Manor, New York, lived
retired couple named Morris whom Mellenthin
had often visited. He thought of them as the
kindest people he knew, of their home as
place of serenity and happiness. They always
had half dozen dogs around, and there was

of May 4, six years ago, he found his wife tired

That, dog experts assure me, was an exag-
geration. Perfection in dogs, as in men, is yet
to be reached. But she wasn't far wrong at
that, for one of those seven kitchen-born
pups is top dog of the United States today.
Three times running he has won the title of

aristocrats as we'll as the natives. At other
shows in the last few years he has won enough
silver cups and other assorted prizes to fill

Thousands of people could tell you his
name: Champion My Own Brucie. They could
recite his pedigree his physical points, his
show record. But what | want to tell you is
story they wouldn't know the real story of
how Brucie got to be what he is today - not
just a champion of champions, but real
dog. The point of that story is simply this:
the common uncalculating love that you and
give our own pups is the one thing that will
make any dog feel like a champ. And, other
things being equal, the inner dog-quality thus
generated will make the difference between
real champ and runnerup.
Brucie's father was Red Brucie the great
est sire in American cocker spaniel history.
Thirty-eight of Red Brucie's offspring were
champions, and so great was his influence on
the whole cocker world that if you own
cocker today the chances are better than even
that Red Brucie is in his ancestry. What is
more to the point of this story Owner Herman
E. Mellenthin loved Red Brucie = just as
today he loves Red Brucies great son. He was
offered fabulous sums for him - as much as
ten thousand dollars - but he had just one
answer: There isn't money enough in the
world"
Early in 1885 Red Bruce died at the age of
fourteen. His last litter of pups was still
unborn. Their mother, black cocker named
My Own Lady Huntington, became, to
Mellenthn, just about the most important
thing in the world.
Another dog breeder might have kept her
and her pups, when they came, under careful

they were born in Mrs. Morans kitchen.

knew that the precious litter would have

'Marge' Of Radio Team
Dies in Childbirth al y
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ENGLEWOOD, N. j., Feb. Is
"Marge"-in real life Mrs. Peter
Fick-29-year- -old member of the
radio team of "Myrt and Marge. "
died today in childbirth. The child,
a boy survived.
Marge was the daughter of a
mother and daughter team that had
been on the air continuously since
November. 1881, in a program of the
backstage troubles of a theatrical
family.
Known professionally as Donna
Dameral, Marge married Mr.. Flick,
an Olympic champion swimmer, last
year. She had been married twice
before and had son by each of her
previous marriages.
There was only II years difference
in age between her and her mother,
Mrs. Myrtle Vail, the widow of a
vaudeville actor.
The younger woman's first job was
in vaudeville with her mother and
father, as singer and dancer Fol-
lowing her fathers death, her moth
er began writing stories of her ex-
periences backstage, and soon the
first show of "Myrt and Marge" was
ready.
Mrs. Vail had no sponsor, but she
strobe into the Offices of Chicsso
gum manufacturer and sold him the
show.
