To his way of thinking there was full cause for it all. His father, placld, easy going, had just announced a disturbing fact and it had set Hector Page all aflame. “Why, I never heard of such a thing!” stormed the young man. “Here we are unfortunate enough to share a double house with a whimsical, dis- agreeable old maid. She hates dogs and has got to hate all of us on that account. We have paid the pre- scribed license for Tige, we have in- cluded him in the personal tax and have therefore met all the require- ments of the law. Now this pestifer- ous old trouble maker complains of Tige, and we are served with a no- tice that we must keep him muzzled. ; Outrageous!"” “It's the law,” said Mr. Page, mild- ly. “I guess you'll have to give in.” It had been a really disagreeable ex- perience ever since Miss Narcissa Wentworth had rented the other half of the big double house. She was & lonely spinster with two nephews and a niece away at school, had some means and she boasted of some family diamonds. She began by sticking up her nose at “those common Pages” because they lived plainly, happily, and did not put on airs. Then when one day Tige made a dash for her sole pet, an antiquated tabby, the real war began. From that time Miss Wentworth never even looked at her neighbors. When Tige ran across her garden a week later, she went to the village authorities and invoked their co-operation. There was not a statute relating to animals, trespass, nuis- ances and disorderly conduct that Misg Wentworth did not invoke to annoy and persecute the especial ob- Ject of her dislike. Hector Page finally accepted the sit- uation.

Naturally the re- straint galled him and when the moon was full he bayed his woes forth to that gentle luminary. Again Miss Wentworth complained, but the law had spent its full force. One morn- ing, nose high tilted in the air, she followed her household goods from the place. “She's moved!” enthused Hector, deliriously joyful. “What a relief!” “Yes, and we have gol to move, too,” announced ‘his father a week later. “It seems that the landlord has received a very liberal offer to rent the house here entire, will give me a bonus and agrees to furnish a de- tached house in a row he owns at the other end of the town.” Within a few days the Pages also moved their household goods and chat- tels. Within a few hours after get- ting installed in their new quarters, Hector made an appalling discovery. He came rushing into the house bris- tling with the important information he had to divulge. “What do you think?” he voiced ex- plosively—“Who do you think we are neighbor to?” Mr. Page looked Inquisitive, Mrs. Page expectant. “Miss Narcissa Wentworth!” de- clared Hector. “It's true,” he assert- ed. “I don't suppose our landlord knew of our old harmonious career, but here we are—poor Tige!" Miss Wentworth nearly fainted away when she discovered the situa- | tion. After that she glared at the Pages whenever she chanced to spy them. Then she had her own new troubles. Her lively nephews, Ned and Tom Barrett, and her lovely niece, Elida, had been away at school for a vear. They had come home, .spruutinz a mustache and sporting a hideous bulldog. Pretty Elida brought fox terrier. | Once Hector caught sight of the dainty little miss across the fence, he had frequent glances for the house next door. The second day, bulldog Phoze 11 H. O.

The following morning, { a8 he left the house, Hector saw the | | young lady at her gate patting Tlga| . affectlonately with one hand and wip- ing the tears from her eyes with the other, probably lamenting the absencs | of her own especial pet. | Miss Wentworth came Just then. She spoke sharply to her niece, gave Hector a devastating glance and marched back into the house slamming the door after her. Then the same afternoon Hector ; met Miss Barrett as he came home from the office. She smiled in a friendly neighborly way and he paused to address her by name. “Then you know who we are?”” spoke the little miss archly. “Have your folks set the ban upon you as Aunt Narcissa has upon us?” “The—ban?" repeated Hector, flush ing consciously, for he knew exactly what the young lady meant. “Yes, that poor dear dog of yours. And she has sent away my pet, too,” and Elida looked as though on the verge of tears. They met more than once, but never under the eyes of Miss Narcissa. Then came the climax that straightened out everything and reformed the. prejudiced spinster. I Tige had uprooted some sprouts in the garden next door in a wild dash one morning, and had been put in durance vile in the old woodshed. The same evening about nine o'clock the Pages, seated on their porch, were startled by the echoes of a ringing scream. Other excited voices joined in. Then there was a shot. Hector ran around to the side of the house. The spinster and her little family were in vivid action. The two Bar rett boys were in advance. One of them held a still smoking pistol. Both were looking all about as though ! into view ' pale and distracted, was supporting her aunt a little distance away. Miss Wentworth was wringing her hands and shrieking hysterically. “Which way did he go—the burglar, the bold wicked thief!” she cried out. | “He climbed in at the upper window, | I saw him, and he has taken my dia- :';' monds—the family diamonds!” % “Did you see him?” inquired Hector, | & unceremoniously and boldly running| up to the fence and hailing the young| men. All of enmity and propriety|%* alike were momentarily removed. 4 “He dodged in near those bushes,”| explained Ned Barrett, breathlessly in- | & dicating a hedge that formed the rear | part of the dividing line fence. “Then ‘i’ we lost sight of him.” :g‘ “He must have come through into| our yard and escaped that way,” the-| % orized Hector. “What is the matter|d with Tige, I wonder?"” ! For the animal had broken out sud- | denly into a fearful racket of growl-|; ings and bustling sounds. Hector ran| for the sashless window at the side of the shed. Just then however the | door was burst open from the inside. | & Out flew the burglar who had| climbed through the window to hide. | After him, springing upon him, pulling him down was staunch faithful Tige. @ § § In a moment Hector was at the side of the discomfited criminal. § courteously to Miss Wentworth, as the 4 § § “Your family dizraonds,” he sald : 3 burglar was being led to jail. “I found them on the culprit, only—Tige de- gerves all the credit.” Miss Wentworth had a serious|® thinking spell that night. She was all smiles and gratitude towards the| Pages next day. Then she ordered | back the banished pets. She even :g& patted Tige, and she beamed indul-| g gently upon Hector when he came over to sit on the porch with pretty, happy Elida. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.)
