point in your seeing her, darling She's dead.
You have to let Butch comfort you.''
LIS eyes we're wild through the tears.
She looked at her mother and then at her
brother. Her lips curled. Il don't want any
puppy of Georges to comfort me. He can
keep it and let it get killed, or run away like
the rest of his dogs"
Abby put out her hand. Darling,
please -"
Liz stepped away from her mother. GO
away! l hate you both!' She turned and ran
out of the room. They heard her 90 up the
stairs. They heard her bedroom door slam.
George looked down at the floor. Shed
care less if I'd been the one who got killed"
He went into the hall. Abby heard the
front door Close She went to the stove and
turned off the burner mechanically. From
the box, the puppy whimpered. Still me-
chanically, she picked it up.
1T wasn't your fault" she said. "She
loved you until she heard about Cleo To-
morrow, III take you back to the pet shop
and you'll find home. You'll get somebody
who will love you. Wait and see"
HE puppy whimpered again. Abby tested
the milk. She found saucer and poured
some into it. She put the puppy down on the
floor. He circled the saucer, shifting. Sud-
denly, with yelp of pleasure, he buried his
whole face in the dish. The saucer upset.
The puppy followed the warm milk around
the floor, tapping frantically, wagging tail
that seemed longer than he was:
Abby watched him. Quite abruptly, the
puppy whirled and. milky paws and all,
flung himself on her knees.
Abby laughed. She was still laughing when
she saw Big George, sunburned and con-
fused, standing over her. Maybe, she
thought, I'm hysterical, because he seems
50 worried. After minute she stopped.

Abby, who was three inches shorter than
Liz 1t gave her grown-up dignity, even in
dealings with her family.
But when she saw the puppy she dropped
on the kitchen floor in front of him. Butch"
she cooed Butch. Where did you come
from? Who brought you to my house?"
Abby glanced at George. He took deep
breath. "He-1 got him for you. At Miss"
miss Burdick's, of course. I've been
watching him every day through the win
dow. called him Butch on account of the
black eye. He's honey of cutie, but do
you think Cleo will be jealous?"
GEORGE cleared his throat. Abby glanced
nervously at Liz. She had the puppy in her
arms; he was chewing her hair and she was
chirping with delight
Darling" Abby said. Darling, I'm glad
you like the puppy because -"
Liz looked up at her mother. where's
Cleo? Let's bring her in. III introduce her
to Butch and make her understand that he
isn't going to take her place.
Abby cenched her fists. I'm afraid he's
going to have to, darling. Cleo -"
Liz looked up wildly. Where is she?
Mother -"
Abby swallowed the hard lump in her
throat She leaned over and put her hand on
LIS shoulder. Darling, you have to be
brave. Something happened today to Cleo"
LIS face went blank. She dropped the
puppy with a thud. Bewildered, he crawled
back into his basket
Liz, Cleo was run over today. That's
why George bought you the puppy. She died
right away, darling She didn't suffer. And
she was old. You mustn't grieve too much:"
LIZ got slowly to her feet Her shoul-
ders were slu1nped Her face was working
Mother, you shouldn't have let her in the
street. She never did have any sense about
cars. Oh, Mother -
1T was my fault" George said Il took
her out in Bix's car today We left her when
we went in the record shop for minute. She
jumped out"
Liz turned slowly to her brother. "You
didn't. You couldn't have. You're lying to
me. You -"
Baby" Abby said. Baby, listen. George
feels worse than you do. He bought you this
puppy and he is paying for it himself"
LIS face hardened. ''You killed Cleo.
And you bring me spotted dog and expect
it to take Cleo's place. That's all you care.
But me Il don't want it. l want Cleo.
Where is she?"
The tears were pouring down her face

FROM LAUNDRY
Solons To Investigate
Following Complaints;
More Signs are Sought

Another smoky discussion ap-
peared in the council chambers
last Thursday evening, not from
heated words, but from a dis
cuSsion raised by Mrs. Angus Mac
Ivor and Mrs. Cecil Riser, of N
Maple St, on the smoke from the
MarySville Laundry.
Both ladies live near the laun-
dry. They told council that the
smoke coming from the laundry
makes their housework much
harder and is also a health men
ace.
The Council promised to take
what steps they could to see the
condition improved or stopped al
together.
Seek Parking Lot
Also brought up before Coun-
Gil was the possibility of pur-
chasing or leosing the parking
lot back of Devine's Hardware
Store to use for civic programs,
to eliminate the need for block
ing off Main st. The lot would
be reSurfaced and used for park
ing when not in use otherwise
The question of need for plac-
ing stop signs and no parking
signs in several locations of town
was also discussed. The Council
gave Bert Lash, street cOmissIOn-
er, permission to place any of
these signs where ever needed.
Emphasis was placed on plac-
ing mo Parking this Side of

the street from being blocked

Alley Hazard
There is already no parking in
front of the playground, but it
is usually blocked across from

fact. One of the places where
a stop sign is needed, it was de
clared, is the alley from Sixth to
