Sally Barton flew into the privacy of her own little sitting room and— slammed the door. As she flew she tore a letter into tiny bits. In her haste to toss the remains of the of- fending missive into the fire she step- ped on the lazily outstretched paw of her fox teriier. With a shrill yelp of pain and in- dignation Bobs limped over to the sunny bow window and licked his paw, Instead of comforting him with lov- ing words, Sally merely glared at her pet and ousted Peterkin, her beloved cat from the coziest chair. Peterkin found refuge beside the outraged Bobs and they took counsel together, with many furtive glances toward their mistress; each prepared for instant flizht in case Sally re- newed hostilities, But Sally had quite forgotten them By this time her anger simmered down to cold hatred. She nodded her sunny head emphatically. “l didn't believe it possible that 1 could hate Dick Lester—but I do— I do! To think of his daring to b-break-k off o-our engagement—not even glving me a ch-chance to see hin again and explain about my mo- tor trip with Mr. Sears. How hate ful he is—I am glad that I am not go- ing to marry him—just fa-fancy being ti-tled down to such a p-perfect bear of a hus-husband!” The obnoxious idea quite over whelmed Sally, and she bowed her head and wept softly into her pmx‘ palms, Slowly Bobs limped toward her, one | soft ear cocked iuquiringly, bis browa eyes melting with pity. Peterkin padded silently after him, purring buzzily. Peterkin’s cold nose on her cheek roused Sally from her tearful medita- tions and Bobs' paw on her knee brought a pathetic smile to her lips. “Oh, you poor dears!" she cooed over them, “did your missy treat you cruelly? Well, if you only knew, Bobs—you'd never, never like Dick again!” Whereupon Bobs, who had tender recollections of Dick Lester and of many blissful frolics with that mis- guided young man, promptly stood on his hind legs and squinted at his own black nose where there should be placed & lump of sugar or a bon- bon. “(et down, you silly thing!” cried Sally crossly, and Bobs, much sub- dued, retired to the hearth rug and kept a wary eye open for further trouble, Sally sorrowfully reviewed the stormy period of her engagement to Dick Lester. If Sally had not been an arrant flirt and Dick the most ador ing and forgiving fellow in the world the engagement would have lasted longer. Long suffering Dick had delivered an ultimatum two months before the catastrophe and Sally had been as prim as a Quaker maid. But there came a summer temptation to take a run out to the country club with an old admirer, Jimmy Sears, and | Sally had wickedly, 1 will not say; thoughtlessly, because she realized | what she was doing, thrown over an appointment with her fiance und | gone. Of course Dick appeared upon the | scene, black-browed and quite unap- | proachable. All Sally's attempts at | reconciliation had been in vain and when as a final effort to soften him she offered him his freedom—Dick ac- cepted it, and this was his hateful let- ter she had just received. “Best for you and best for me,” he | had said just like the words of the | old song. I Sally Barton had not loved Dick | devotedly, she would not have cared ! a rap, for there were adorers in plenty waiting for her smiles—but she did love Dick, and thercin lay the tragedy. “Best for him not to marry her!” How dreadiul that Dick should feel that way about it—why she had grown so accustomed to the idea that she was the only girl in the world for Dick, that now she was smitten with sudden ficrce jealousy that he really might be attracted eisewhere and perhaps was glad to be rid of] her. “Where is Dick?" asked Mrs, Bar. ton at luncheon. “I thought he was to lunch with us.” “I don’t know—and 1 don't care much,” quavered Sally stormily, and her mother sighed and thought. l “Oh, dear, I do believe they have quarreled again! 1 was sure Dick of all men knew how to manage Sally, but I'm afraid he doesn't, after all. She needs a firm hand.” Sally pecked languidly at her food and hastened back to her room when | the meal was over. She dressed ! for the street and, taking the de- lighted Bobs with her, went to Lhel park. | It was late winter, with a sugges- tion of the coming spring in the so:iem ing air and the meliing blue siv b3 strained at his leash and mag bounds after the dusty ATTOWS. ked with her eyes on the | tree tops and the cottonwood clouds | above, "I 1 should ever be e I'd marry him at o ipropos ¢f nothing d to him 4 :d oS o , sometbing of a shock to reund & cusve in the path and come face to face with Dick Lester and Ethel Long. Dick was leading Etiel's huge mastill, P-in-e Kam, with a perfectly madden- ing air of proprietorship. Before the three could exchange greetings the heedless fox terrier had leaped joyfully at his friend Dick. Prince Kam uttered one throaty growl and intervened. There followed a tonfusion of girlish shrieks, shrill yelps from Bobs, ugly rumblings from the mastif and a sharp exclamation from Dick Lester. Then Dick, warding off Prince Kam with one arm, gave the whim- pering terrier into Sally's trembling hands. “You better take him away, Sally,” he said quietly. ! “But you are hurt, Mr, Lester,” in- terposed Ethel, laying a hand on his wrist streaked with blood. “Prince Kam ripped me—it's noth- ing," murmured Dick, but he looked quite white. Sully lingered wistfully while Eth- cl whipped Dick's handkerchief from his pocket @nd proceeded to deftly birnd the wounded wrist. “I'll take him around to the doc- tor,” nouded Kthel reassuringly as Sally Turned away. “I'm sorry that poor Bobs was frightened, but Kam is so jealous—I shall whip him sound- Iy!" She shook a reproving finger at the chagrined mastiff, whose eyes ap- pealed for forgiveness. “1 am sorry about Mr. Lester,” fak tered Sally and she went away 80 unlike her usual jaunty little self that Dick's anger wus melted. Ethel Long walked silently beside Dick. Her mind wus busy with the events of the past few moments. Why had Sally called Dick “Mr. Les- ter?” Had they quarreled? “Of course you will relieve Sally's mind about your wound,” said Ethel as they parted. “Certainly, blushed Dick, and Ethel was positive that the lovers had not quarreled. “Oh, Bobs,"” wept Sally into the fox terrier's ear that evening. “Oh, Bobs, if you hadn’t jumped at him to- day, I would not have endured see ing her binding up his wrist—it was my place to do that, or it used to be!"” A pair of hands came around the corner of the big wing chair and mas- cuiine arms enfolded Sally and the frantic Bobs in a close embrace. “Oh, Sally, darling, are we still en- gaged?” whispered Dick. Sally smuggled a wet check against his. “We will have to be,” she cighed; “Bobs will break any disengagement we undertake!" (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News- paper Byndicate.) One-Legged Chick Scared to Death. Charles Snyder, head keeper of the Bronx Zoological Park, {s broken- hearted, for his famous one-legged chicken is dead, relates the New York Times. The chicken was broken- hearted, too, but the ailment was the genuine article, for it was scared to death. Charles, a rattlesnake, is ac- cused of the crime. The chicken had been the chief talk of the park for some time, because it was born with only one leg. Although of the conventional Plymouth Rock variety, the youngster made its ap- pearance on Keeper Snyder's farm at Scarsdale about two months ago, with only half the regulation underpinning. Snyder took his pet to the park to exhibit it to Curator Ditmars. The place of exhibition, however, was bad- ly chosen, for it was the reptile house. The sight of the chicken proved too much for Charles, who set up a vig- orous rattling and uttempted to strike. Other snakes joined in, until the chicken, fascinated and then | frightened, dropped dead in its track (singular). Jealousy on the part of the snakes because of the superior number of legs possessed by the fowl s given | by Keeper Snyder as the reason for | the snakes' behavior. Lions' Heads on Fountains, Most of the things that are cus- tomary with us lud some good reason for their origin, thouzh we are apt to accept them and not inquire what that origin was. The water in a great many public fountains, whether for man or beast, comes out of a lion’s head. Did you ever stop to think why a lion’s head should be chosen in preference to any other design? This is said to be the reason: Amceng the ancient Egyptians the ris- Iug of the waters of the River Nile was the most important event of the year, as it meant life and prosperity to the whole nation, This rising of the waters always took place when the sun was in the constellation of Leo, or the lion. 8o they adopted tke shape of a lion as the symbol for the lifegiving waters of the Nile, and all their fountains were carved with a lion's head. The Greeks and Romans copied this symbol, and so it has come down to us.—Tit-Bita, —— When the Kalser Was a Boy.
