No sound of tur- bulence warned him from within. He could hear nothing except the clink of nife and fork, which made Zack lick his hungry lps. “I'm nacherly 'bleeged to git some | “ 4xrub,” he muttered, and drove him- self onward. Up the rear steps he sneaked, without so much as the shuffle of a shoe, halted, and listened warily. Then his cautious hand turned the knob, cracked open the door, and By Harri on Selinws pan, and sparred for a | happier opening. | “Seliny”—he mentioned it offhand - —*Seliny, befo' I fergits—Cunnel tole | me to hurry downtown on some ‘por- tant business.

Nobody except’ Zack could have made such an accurate forecast from ‘one glimpse of the woman's massive back. Necessity, however, had school- ed him in the reading of weather | signs, and he now observed the indi- | _cations of Belina's unsubsided pes- terment. Yet, if gently manipulated, filie knew she wasn(t liable to blow up gain. So Zack reclosed the door, very, very softly, tiptoed backward down the steps, and vanished with liis precious bundle. Ater a little while Selina began to hear from afar off, the casual, care- | frec approach of her lover-husband, ! whistling as he came. But she dldn't . rush to the window and toss out gar- ands of roses. Notumuch, Selina only Nearer and nearer drew Zack's { merry whistle, rounding a corner of the house. Louder and louder he ca- roled his blithesome song of the k. Selina had heard him the first time. Now he was stomping up the { steps; now with confident tread he crossed the porch, now he flung open the door—still whistling. Which sig- ified that Zack had burled the hatch- {get Without leaving the handle sticking r.m, that he was willing to let bv- zones be bygones, and draw up his chair to the conjugal repast.

Zack’s whistling grew ragged when he noted that all the ! other chalrs wore likewise full, stack- od with pans, * % % o S bundle behind his back, and tried to speak most jovially. “Ugh!

Worse than this, according to Zack's anxiou sount, he saw onlv one pan on the :abie, and Selina was using’ that; he saw that every dish which contained :atables was surrounded by Sellna’s strong left arm, while she gobbled up grub with her right hand.

I shall never forget walting for him at the rallway station on the evening when he ar- rived by express. My wife was not| gertain whether he was to come on| Yhe 11:30 or the half-past midnight, | and thought it best to take no| chances. She felt that had he arrived | on the first train and been left alone| tied up at the depot it might have depressed him. Y | The evening turned out to be wet and cold. I remember thinking as I slked up and down the platform, beating my arms against my sides, | vhat a lucky thing it was that Wee Wee had not had to wait. It could caslly have given the dear lttle fel-| wlow angina pectoris. However, at half-past midnight or a little after it—the train was forty | minutes late—Wee Wee arrived safe and sound. The men in the express | car pointed him out to me at once. It seemed that he had biften one of them in the leg (only in play, of course), and torn.a piece out of his overalls. The overalls were of that Dblue kind that raflway men wear, and for the moment I was afraid that they might result in some poisonous effect #n the little fellow's teeth or gums. But it turned out all right. Wee Wee came with me readily enough. He snapped at my hand once/ or twice (in play) as I untied hi snd gave me & cute little scratch with his paw across the flesh of my Wace (not deep), us if to say that we were to bo great friends. ! ok ok x T must have been half-past 1 whea we | l got home, but my wife was wait- | & for Wee Wee and had some sup- ! per ready for Mim on\a plate. I told her about the expressman and she felt at once that I had better light up the kitchen fire and get Wee Wee o warm Infusion of senna and cinna- Ymon and then rub his back with ni- trate of soda. I remember thinking, as I went out to the woodshed to €ut rome kindling wood, but for that in- fuslon of senna the dear little fellow might be dead in the mornings By good luck, however, Wee Wee di4 not die. My wife put him at che foot of her bed. She felt that it would disturb him less if I had & shakedown in the linen closet for that night. It was a pleasure to heaf presently his deep regular breathing and to know that the trip \en the train had not hurt his lungs. From that day-on Wee Wee en- %ered into my life in 2 way that I si:6uld not have thought posstble. In 5 hundred and one littld Ways he “seemed to bind himself to me.

She made him the cutest little red jacket with “Wee Wee" worked on the side in white letters, and with a little strap round it for me to pick him up by (without compressing his stomach too much) when it was muddy. Wee Wee always went along very quietly, un- less In passing a butcher shop or place of that sort when the dear little fellow would jump up, just in fun, and have a little lick at the meat. 3 Sometimes we would go right in to the country because there we could ‘break fnto a little run, which my wife said. was good for Wee Wee's legs. I always thought to myself as we broke into a trot, but for that trotting the dear little fellow might have got inciplent paralysis or hard- ening of the arteries. Wee Wee, I am glad to say, turned out to be & dog With a great deal of character. I had not known it before, but-it seems that character My wife and Flors used to discuss ! the characters of Wee Wee aml Foo | Joo in great detall. Wee Wee, it ap- | pears, has more Insight and reflection | than Foo Joo, but Foo Joo's analyti- | cal power is greater. In ocharacter both stand high. Flora and my wife felt ‘that It would help the two dogs to get to | know one ,another 1f I took them | both out together. So after that I had Wee Wee and Foo Joo each on a little string. My wife and Flora sald that, as we started out, Wee | Wee In red and Foo Joo in blue (I | was wearing just plaln gray), the | two Ilittle fellows looked too cute | for anything. There was a little | trouble with the two strings at first. | Once when we met hens there was quite & sort of mix-up and I was | tripped up, but my wife explatned | that that sort of thing is good for doge. They like the excitement of it. | In short, for them it is fun. ! Looking /back on it, it seems to me that during the time that Wae Wee anl Foo Joo were in my life there was more fun St this sort than there has been since. Now that they have both disappeared something seems to have gone. * % ¥ % 3 s S attsane sV 1 8 to the way In which they hap- pened to disappear, I can only state the matter as I have al- ready gona over it a hundred times with my less wife and Flora. It was on a night of vivid light- ning and thunder, when Flora was detained at our house by the storm and Foo Joo stayed with us. “Fooj’— the little fellow was often ocalled “Foo)" as more affectionate than Foo Joo—had the linen oloset, so T slept on'a sofa in the sitting“room. Both the little fellows were restless and seemed to find It impossible to sleep, 80 about two o'clock in the morning my wife suggested that as the storm had gone I might take the two of them out for a little run to calm thelr nerves. I took them out, each on & string, and we walked, I remember, toward the river: It was & black night and I was heavy with sleep, and I am not sure at what precise moment the two little fel- lows disappesred. It may have been before I came to the river or it may not~.Of I may have taken them to STERILIZED, SO THERE WAS NO 1 |in a dog. “Wees” has lots of it. The first morning that the new milk- man came, Wee Wee—just as a mat- fter of character—flew right at |him and bit him in the thumb.. My wife explained that it was a sign that Wee Wee diun't like the man. Milk- men's hands are always well sterl- ized so there was no harm done. * X X ¥ got to know most about the dear little fellow’s character, however, by hearing my wife discuss it with her “sister Flora. - Sobu after Wee Wee_came to us Filora took to bring- ing over her little Foo Joo at after. noon tea time so that the two could be company for one another. It simply too sweet—my wife and Flora both sald so—to see Wee Wee and Foo Joo_together. Just once the dear little fellows fought, but I was able to’ separate them without much trouble. Foo Joo, who has character, gave me a sharp snap in the hand, but more in play, Flora sald, than th afiger, because Foo Joo has the sort of disposition that always makes him sorry afterward if he has hurt apy- for San Francisco, or perhaps ¥ left them at the BSalvation Army' All Night Lifeboat Station. I can't re- member. At any rate they are gone.
