A rap- turous expression was on his face, ' and in his arms was a tiny, nonde- script puppy, blind, and with a rest- less, inquiring nose. “Mother! Just look! Isn't he a beauty? A horrid old man was going to drown him!" A chorus of ejaculations arose. “Aw, ain't he cute?’ came from Billy, two years younger than Jack. “He's a fine little fellow,” agreed ' Jack's father. “See the way he's nos- ing at the button of your coat.” “Another dawg!” exclaimed Hulda, as she brought in the bacon. But she stopped long enough to tickle the temptingly soft brown head that bobbed helplessly over Jack's arm. “Ain't he nice, mother!"” inquired Jack, anxiously, sensing something ominous in his mother's silence. “Charming!™ szid Jack's mother, with unaccustomed satire. “What do you propose to do with him?" “Why—why, keep him, of course,” said Jack. “Poor little fellow, he ain’t got no home.” “That’'s very sad” said Jack's mother, unsympathetically, “But 1 am not going to have another dog around the place. Dogs are dirty and noisy and full of fleas, and I loathe them; so you may as well make up your mind to get rid of this little beast.” Jack looked at his father appealing- ly. “Don’t you think, Helen—" began Jack's father. “No, 1 don't think that I'll give in again,” interrupted Jack's mother, *I do think, however, that you have had enough experience in adopting dogs to last you for one summer, There was that lon zged young St. Ber wrd the ¢ aave dou, It killed twelve of th ranklin chickens, if you remember, and you had to pay for them at market prices. 1 thoushi 1 When the St. Bernard was poisoned vou would have loarned discretion, but you had to bring nome that pedi- greed fox terrier yoa said you got at such a bargain.” “That was a good dog, though,” de- clared Jack's father, “and I'd like to get hold of the policeman who shot him just because his license tag was issued for a dog described as a St. Bernard."” “l had hoped that incident would make you more carcful about evading the law,” said Jack's mother, “but, nevertheless, you kept putting off get. ting a license for the collie you brought home to be a comrade to the children until it bit the Collins child, and the dog was shot, and you were haled into court and fined for not having licensed or muzzled the beast.” “Anyway, Helen,” sald Jack's fath- er, “every boy ought to have a dog. Let the kid keep it. I'll see that it is licened and cared for.” “I will not have another dog around the place,” insisted Jack's mother. At this Jack deposited his new pet upon the floor, and ran from the room howling. Left to himself, the puppy sprawled unhappily on the carpet, feeling around with that pathetically searching nose of his. Then, as if congcious that it was alone in a cold, unfeeling world, it set up a plaintive whining. | The family ate breakfast In silence | for a few minutes, and then Jack's' father stirred uneasily. i “My gooduess, 1 can't stand that,"' he said at last, *I belleve the little beggar's hungry.” | He made overtures to the pup with a piece of bacon. The pup sniffed tentatively at the morsel, and then | resumed its wailing with renewed vigor. Jack's father regarded it thoughttully. “Perhaps,” he sald, finally, “it isn't | old enough for bacon.” | Something very like a giggle came | from Jack's mother's end of the table, but when Jack's father looked up, hml wife was coldly putting bread into - Billy's egg. Then Jack's father poured some cream into a saucer and de-| posited it under the pup's nose, The| whining continued. Very gently, Juck’s father thrust the wabbly little black nose fairly into the saucer, but the obstinate owner wouldn't drink, and the whine developed to a fright- | ened yelp. Jack's mother left the| room precipitately. “I'm afraid you'll really have to go, pup,” sald Jack's father, stroking the fat little brown back. At that moment the postman's whistle sounded at the front door, and Jack's father went to get his mail. It was fully ten minutes before he returned. As he entered the room | he gasped in astonishment. Jack's| mother was sitting crosslegged on | the floor feeding the little brown | puppy with milk out of one of Billy's | — discarded bottles. Jack stood over her, beaming. When | he caught sight of his father he crind, | jubilantly: “Dad! She says we con | keep it!” Jack’s mother iooked up and had ! the grace to blush under her hus-| band’s amused glance. ' “It cried just like a baby,” she said, apologetically. Then, suddenly she changed her tactics from the de- | fensive to the offensive. “It's just like a man,” she said with infinite | scorn, “to try to feed bacon to a three-day-old puppy!”—Chicago Daily | News, i fen’t It. “Strange how few college men are able to support tnemselves “All the candidates who ask our mmmmummmmmommg MBERT T PATRIGK | Are Vol Satisfled Wllll WIwre You Ean Albert prison after being pardoned by Gow- | ernor nn ‘o wag convicted of lho der of Williapy Marsh Rice and Ave ears behind !he bars, | [} His Advantage.
