"You killed my dog today" said
Chris.
"Yeah?" Why didn't you keep it
out Of the street,"
"Killed it and went on" said Chris
inexorably.
"You and your damn dog! If you
are looking for trouble, you've come
to the right place"

Il suppose I'll always be here when
you need me, my dear. Is anything
wrong?"
mo. That is-Chris, you're not
angry with me, are you?"
Angry? Never. I want you to be
happy in your own way. And if that
didn't happen to be my way"
"And you're all right?"
Fine. Even busy
She said nothing to that, and it
struck him suddenly that she was
crying.
See here, my darling" he said,
IF you're not sure of this marriage,
it's not too late. Be very sure of
yourself before you go ahead. Don't
make a mistake"
She did not answer that, and once
again she seemed to be waiting for
something, although she realized that
only later.
Look here" he said, you're tired
and nervous. Pm going to send you
something to give you nights sleep.
You'll take it won't you?'
Yes" she said in a small voice.
you're sure you're all right?"
Perfectly"
"Then goodnight, Chris. And
goodbye"
He was pale but collected when he
walked to the drugstore and sent
her the promised tablets. But he
took one himself when they were be-
ing measured out.
Beverly married Jerry Ames the
next afternoon in a blaze of sunlight
in the garden, a Jerry who along
with his ushers, blinked at the glare
with eyes slightly congested from his
bachelor party the night before. Bev-
erly was white but composed. Near
by was the place where Chris had
found her breaking her heart a year
before and had caught her in his
arms. She did not look at it, how
ever and her voice was steady when
she made her response during the
ceremony. She liked Jerry. They
would grow together. And she had
her fathers stubbornness. She had
agreed to do this thing. Now she was
doing it.
The next mornings paper showed
pictures of her in her wedding finery
standing at the end of the green
alley with the fountain behind her
and Jerry behide her. She was smil-
ing family into the camera.

Caesar was killed that summer,
run down by the Lewis car. He was
romping with another dog in the
street an dthe car, running we'll above
the city speed limit, went over Gaze
sar. Went on without stopping too,
leaving Chris to carry in the faithful
creature that had loved him and lat
er to give him decent burial under a
tree in the back yard.
Lily did not dare to speak to him
that day, and she told Miss Barker
later on over the back fence that he
was acting very queer, and that
he had thought lot of the dog. She
was doing in her chair late that af-
ternoon when Chris having seen the
Lewis car on its way home, deliber-
ately put on his hat and started up
the hill. He was tightlipped as he
entered the driveway. He did not go
to the house, but circled around it
until he came to the garage, and there
confronted the Lewis chauffeur, a
big man, kicking his tires and smok-
/ ing a cigarette.
