He was jump- ing and dancing about Old Mr. Toad, who was on his way to the flower gar- den. The little dog had never seen a toad before. He didn’t know what to make of it. He would rush at Old Mr. ‘Toad, barking excitedly, and Old Mr. Toad simply would pay no attention to him at all. The little dog didn’t know - ONCE MORE OLD MR. TOAD START- ED ON, HOP, HOP, HOP. what to make of it. He was accustomed to seeing those smaller than himself Tun away. Finally he reached out a paw and knocked Old Mr. Toad over. Old Mr. Toad kicked and struggled and finally turned over onto his feet again. He puffed himself up angrily. He always does puff up when he is angry. Once more Old Mr. Toad started on— hop, hop, hop. The little dog knocked him over again. It was just then that Bowser the Hound, who had been tak- ing a nap, opened his eyes to see what all the excitement was about. He lifted his head. At first he couldn’t make out what the little dog was so excited about. | He yawned once or twice, then got to his feet and slowly walked over toward the little dog. Then he saw Old Mr. *BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Toad. Now Bowser and Old Mr. Toad are old friends. He simply couldn't ume derstand any one getting excited over Old Mr. Toad. “Bow, wow!” sald Bowser. “What are you making such a fuss about?” “Yap, yap!” replied the little dog. “See this queer fellow!” With this the little dog rushed in and grabbed Old Mr. Toad in his mouth and then immedi- ately dropped him. He didn’t hurt Old Mr. Toad. He was just playing. It was rough play, but that is what it was. He was playing with Old Mr. Toad as you have seen a cat play with & mouse. Old Mr. Toad was more indignant than ever. He puffed himself out and tried to make himself look very flerce. ‘What he really did do was to make him- self look very funny. The little dog was having s wonderful time. He jumped and pranced about, knocked Old Mr. Toad over on his back and was enjoy- ing himself thoroughly. “Bow, wow!” sald Bowser. “I would leave him alone if I were you.” “Yap, yap!” replied the littie dog. “I ;lon;t want to leave him alone. This is unt” “Bow, wow!” replied Bowser. *“Take my advice and leave him alone. You may be sorry if you don't.” “Yap, yap!” Teplied the little dog. “He can’t_hurt me. He is perfectly harmless. See this?” The little dog bounded forward and grabbed Old Mr. Toad in his mouth, pinching him hard. .He pinched hard enough to hurt.. And then the little dog_dropped Old Mr. Toad very sud- denly. He backed away hurriedly. And such an expression as there was on his face. He looked very much as if there were something very unpleasant in his mouth. He looked over at Bowser in the drollest way. Bowser was grinning. The little dog_went off and lay down under a bush. He looked as if didn't feel good. He didn’t. To begin with, his mouth tasted bad. It tasted very bad, indeed. He began to feel uncomfortable inside. Bowser was still grinning as he watched the little dog. “What did I tell you?” sald Bowser. The little dog made no reply. He couldn't. You see, he was sick to his stomach. Mfi:nwhfle }?ld glr.,:oad tflgflnfl!d on way—hop, hop, hop—and pres- ently dl:s‘::pemd-undu some plants in * (Copyrisht, 1920 The Daily Cross:Word Puzzle .
