Mail these for me-" his
mother said one afternoon,
Lonnie took the letters. One
was a post card, 1t said:
please pick up one brown
dog. He growls at my son and
/ am afraid he may bite
Lonnie knew that II he did
not mail the letter, he would
get in trouble.
So he mailed 1t. And each
morning he hid Brownie in
the woodshed. Lonnie re-
fused to take his lunch to
school. He said he wanted
hot lunch. So he ran home
every noontime, and down
into the cellar. Brownie was
good. He didn't mind the
confinement as long as the
kid Rugged him close and
patted him. He didn't need
anything else.
\ Il y
ONE NOON Lonnie went to
the woodshed and it was
open. Brownie was gone. Lon
ME ran upstairs and his
lower lip was trembling and
he asked his mother where
the dog was. That was a
nice trick" she said. Hiding
the poor dog in the woodshed.
It's lucky he barked when he
heard the man from the
SPCA."
Lonnie ran from the house.
He made the stairs two at a
time. In the street, he ran
all the way down to Ocean
avenue. He stood whitefaced
on the curb, watching the
trucks. One went by with a
big double rope across the
back. He ran with the truck,
hoped up and grabbed the
rope.
He held on until he
reached johnson avenue.
Then he ran to the SPCA
Office and said to the man
behind the counter: Il want
my Brownie. / want my
Brownie. Give him back"
The man studied the boy,
Easy" he said. What
does your. dog look like, son?"
The boy told him. The man
said "Ah. A woman asked
us to pick him up. We don't
keep that kind. Two minutes
ago he was put in the gas
tank. But don't worry, son.
I'll get you a good dog. A
pedigreed dog"
Lonnie stood there. And
then it happened. He was q
little boy again. The tears
came and came and came
and he could feel the sob in
the bottom of his stomach.

Leukemia Virus Sought
A notable field Of research,
says the report, is the search
for a postulated virus which
may be responsible for leuke-

ly related to cancer.
Attempts have been made in
this study to transmit the dis

newborn mice of a strain re-
sistant to the disease. The in
cidence of leukemia in adult

This does not necessarily
prove the virus theory, even for
mice, the report points out, but
it is leading to a much better
understanding Of a devastating
malady. This is especially i'm
portant because 1t has been
demonstrated that leukemia is
a frequent result Of exposure

possibility that the radiation

He loved the dog. There
was a deep communion be-
tween them. The boy was II.
At night. he wrote his home
work at the dining-room
table with his right hand;
his left was under the table,
absentmindedly stroking
Brownies head. Brownie was
a mutt. He wasn't worth a
dollar.
On Saturdays they roamed
the woods and the sand dunes
on the edge of the big silvery
bay. They pretended that
they were explorers. robting
the underbrush for wild ami
mails, playing Robinson
Crusoe on the windy dunes,
ambushing the head hunters.
The dog weighed about 80
pounds. He was lean and he
had a pink tongue that vi
brated on his lower teeth on
hot days. He was alert, and
he loved the boy Lonnie, and
could pick up the boys
whistle three blocks away. At
night, Lonnie sneaked him
into his bed, pushing him far
lown under the bedclothes.
and whispering for him not
to make a sound.

LONNIE'S MOTHER came
in. as she always did. and
she always said the same
thing: Did you say your
prayers? Do you feel all right?
Where is the dog?" To these
questions, the boy said: Eyes.
Fine. He must be somewhere
around"
When she left, Lonnie
would call the dog out on
top of the bedclothes. They
would wrestle for a while.
Then the boy would fall of
to sleep and the dog would
lie on the bedSpread, his shiny
eyes wide open, his tloppy
ears up a little. listening to
the breathing. He would yawn
and stretch, and sometimes
he would sneak of the bed
and sleep underneath.
He took Brownie to school.
If he took his lunch, the dog
carried the sandwiches by a
string. He never tried to eat
them. He usually shifted the
package, wagged his long
ragged tail and caught the
