DiWn Among the Dogs
The firt one to arrive after din
ner was a short. thick man, with a
red race and thick neck. The 'mad'
could be seen while he was yet a
block away. I'e came up, puffing
and sweating, and waved his right
arm around and exclaimed:
'If I V1has aroundt, I kill dot
man who took my dog!'
'Y-e-s,' -replied the dog pound
man-'your dog is gone, ch ?'
'Of course! If my dog vhas
home woul.1 I pe don n here to look
flor um?
'And you think the dog-catcher
got him?'
f'i'fr I doan' think so, wb vhas I
'lExucI ly. Well, we'll look and
se.'
They passed in throtigh the hall
way to where a viow could be had
of the imprisonl.ed 'dogs, and in ai
f seconds the visitor cried out:
'O4Qt vos Sliacob-dot vos my
(log! Shake! Shake! Boor fel
low! Der shildrens grv deir eves
oudt unIt der old vhomans vhas
seek abed for vou!
Ie paid the do'.lar after a great
deal of lagg1ilng, and as he went
ofI he called back : .
'EAfery night soma burglar likes
to get in mlouse und eafery day
so5elme pody robs me oil der high way,
uid I like to know vhy I doan' go
pack to Sherinanty.'
The niext visitor was a midlongCed
colored manl. ie Peered aroun(d
the building, looked Up an 1 id (10wi
the street, and final13 he reima rked:
"Rekonl Vou've rot Some dog's
in thar?"
Yes , a few'.
"Reekon you've got q sorter half
wolf dog in thar-L-inder wobhh. s
whein he walks,ani' doan' look y< u
squar in the face?'
,-I believe SO; come il."
Trhe wobbly dog Was il there,
and the owier gvree"e(d him vith:
"6Now, look hyar, you fule, you.
Di :i.'t I tell ye jist what would
happen if ye did'lut (1uit that 'ere,
gaI;di%I' a %1 oVr - town! You've I
gonel an' got yer'self( poundeld up in
the dog pound, an'l hain't got no
(dollr to get ye out!"
"Will you take him out?"'
"Can't do it, boss."
"The~n what did you come for'
"Jist to ease my ind(. I wan
ted to know whether you'dl got
himi or not. Good-by, IHorace!
Youi had a soft thing and let go of
:it! Yer' a doomed dlog, ant' nobody's
to blame but yerself!"'
T1he third caller was a tall, grim
looking woman, who used her umn
brella as. a care. She came walk
ing up as stiftf as a dirum-muajor,
and standling sq uarely before the
(dog-man she spit out:
'Dt'effu'l smairt ain't ye ! Never
saw anybody haltf so cunning !'
'Well!'
'Well, is the dog-stea lini' bizness
purty good these days?'.
'Madanm, are you in search of
your dog?'
'Well, I didn't come here to see
the river!'
* Big 01' little dog?'
Noneo'yerbizness! if he's in
'there, Ican inldeminify lhi!m on
sight."
'Idlentify you mean.'
'You shet up. It. I was a dog
stealer I wouldn't gab so much.'
ler dog was there. He was a
great deal like her. He was a long,
slim dog, with a vinegar express
ion of countenance, and he snapp
ed at every canine corning near
him.
'That's him!' snapped the w04
man, 'aud the tnan W,ho put him
in here ought to be horse-whippe( !'
'Do you want him?'
'Want him? D'ye s'pose I came
(own here on a promifenad.'! I
w .int him quicker'n .seat ! The
wonder to me is that he is alive.'
'lie would have been dro vned.
in about an hour.'
'ife would, would he? It's a good
thing for you that be wasn't!
'It. will be $1, madamii.'
'For wAhat?l
'' pay the chnrges.'
'I'll die before I pay it!
'hnyou enu't have hinm!'
She jalbbed her umbrella into the
grolid an'd j:inunwed it noguinist the
bu iLlin01g. She t:lked bet ween her
teeth. and she shoted with hor
mouth open. She declared nd1 "
