THE DAY OF THE DOG
(Continued from Vag 3.)
piece of naner wan no illfTcrpiit from
any other piece of impcr. and h:nl ho
always not laughed ;il my :t n t Us with
pomps of paper?
I wanted to crouch by Ills side and
lick hlH hand, as any other common
do(r would have done, hut I am a pe
(Bleed don, and hlood will toll, so
ctept out Into the hall and watched for
my chance to slip away. Yes, I ha 1
iVtermlmM to leave Master: leave him
rever to return. It was late when
Master Rot up and put on his coat am
ret. When he saw mo, he "topped and
patted me on the head, and spoke quit,
gently, "I'm sorry I hurt you, Wrecker
fid hoy." he said; "I didn't mean It.
t nd you're only a how-wow, anyway."
' had been almost ready to forirlw h!tn
vntil he added those last few words,
"only a bow-wow," My very soul
r ringed.
I followed him for a block or so un
til we came to a dimly lighted stnvt.
and then with one farewell look, and
' loudly beating heart. I turned and
MJ as hard an I could away from Mas
tr.r. That first night 1 will not attempt to
Ascribe. Homesick, hungry, fright
esed, Insulted on every aide by rude
rd Jealous dogs, who Je?red at my fine
collar, a scrap of some kind on every
t'ock, until at last I crept Into an area
"ay and, shivering, curled up to trv
and sleep.
Bright sunshine the next morning
semewhnt cheered me up. but the arri
val of the milkman brought a new
terror; h? liked my looks and would
1 !ve carried me off had I not snarled
nd darted down the street.
I found a garbage can and tried to
ertract a little breakfast from It, but
hPd no appetite. I kept thinkina of
Master and the breakfast waitins- f-"
f"e at home.
Pretty soon children commencing go
ipg to schorl and some dreadful boy
U rew stones at me; I growled at th;m
and showed my teeth, and the little
f'rls all drew away from me and said,
Oh, he's awful, he'll bite," and then
they ran as hard as they could, me af
ter them, trying to explain what a re
?'iy gentle dog I was. Then they be
gan to scream, so I gave up the chas
for I noticed a big man in a blue su't
lth brass buttons, who had a club
n his hand, and when some one yelled
Mad dog!" he looked at me, and raise !
Hp club as if about to hurl It at me;
T turned abruptly and ran the other
'- ay. Mad! I should think I was; they
were quite right in calling nr? mad.
All out of breath. I finally came to n
rran standing on a corner with a dog
a yellow dog, with a string tied to him.
v hich the man was holding. In hi
ether hand the man held a tin cup, ai: i
over his eyes was :l p-ee'i shade. Tb-
Mllow dog- spoke in a l n;ini,)g.- f o

I had dodged v?ry skillfully hi
hand would have been on ine and th
fellow dos's te-th would have been in
I'e, but I made a fine dash up th--.street
and escaped.
If was a long sad day. I attracted
ro: dpf! -' att-ntion, but avoided bo
ng picked up.
My H-cond night out lefr mo stiff and
uncomfortable mil til-rounig-l, but
I could nut think of p turning to .Mas
tr; he s-iid that I had ruined all hi
happiness and I would rather die th;.n
vr back. I had to resort to theft t
cbtaiu fuoil, but I took it from a 'V
bigger than myself, I am happy to say
1 walked and walked, and finally cam
t- a beautiful looking place, called :
' ark, and was strolling along in a med
native sort of a way when suddenly
I heard some one say, "Why, isn't that
Dick Sargent's dog?" and another
ice said, "it surely is." I look'-i
f round, ready to run, but stopped short
for I saw a man and a lovely lady, the
lovely lady of the automobile. I
snarled, for I felt pretty sure the lady
in spite of her loveliness, was the cause
of all my trouble, and I didn't feel
very kindly toward her.
It's a queer thing, but the lovelier la
des are, the mor disturbance they
fct-em to create.
In spite of my bad manners, howev
fi, she came straight to me. "Don't
tcuch him," warned the man, raising
'IP cane; "He's awfully savage, they
say;" but the lady leaned over and
ratted me on the head and said in th"
sweetest, dearest voice, "Poor little
(hap, is he a tired lost doggie? well,
I'l' take him home with me and let his
master know right away," and with
that she picked me up in her arms rind
held me close, right against a big
lunch of violet s on hot- hn ast, nor
would she ollow me to get down again,
t' ongh t gave a faint wiggle Just to be
jollte.
Oh. the peace and rest Just to l i
her alius. 1 was so tired and she knew
Piaster, i.iiid that was th, best of It I
;;nd would lake nie home lo hint. 1
licked her little gloved hands and
r. ach 'd up and licked her pink cheek
and I thought i saw tears In her beau
tiful exes, and I'm sure she murmured
lr my nock. "IVar Pick."
She made the man call a bans an. and
when he had put us I", he raise, 1 oi
hot and said he had an ngagennMil
.iid wouldn't have time to drie hom
with us. and the lowly lady said ' nil
t'-at's too bsui." but 1 was Klad for h

Mid finally drew up before a big house
We hurried In and the lovely lady went
straight to a telephone in a cosy room
fell of books. I dose at her heels, ellr
i,ice trembled when she gave the
i umber. "1749 Gratnmorcy, and her
i hecks got wry pink when the asked
' Mr. Sargent there?" but her vol
w.s, oh, so sweet and gentle, wlnn. in
few minutes, I heard her say, "Dick.
it Is I. Katherlne; yes. It is really I
then a little pause; 1 suppose Master
was saying something, for her eyes
rrew bright with tears ami mere wcv
lars in her voice, too, when she said.
"Yes, yes, indeed. Dick, but I thought
cu didn't care." At this point I licked
ler hand, for I was anxious to be In
tioduced into the conversation; sh-
h'.ughed down at me "And Dick." she
ct ntinued, I have your dog Wrecker,
here with me, picked him up In th?
rark, but I don't care to give him back
unless the reward is sufficient: will you
ci me up and talk it over?"
A queer sound came over the wire
it almost sounded like a sob. and Kath
arine said: "Yes, come right away.''
Then we waited tcgeth.T on a big
touch, and in just a little while "Mr.
Sargent" was announced, and Kath
erine said: "Yes, come right away.'
Then we waited together on a big
icuch, and In just a-little while "Mr.
Sorg-ant was announced, and Kath
erlne picked me up In her arms and
went straight to him, and Master,
without a word, put his arms around
both of us, and I shall dream always
:i the look in his eyes when he bent
and kissed the lovely lady Katherin.
I gave them each one wild look and
jumped to the floor, but I wasn't long
forgotten. Master bent over me and
took my head in both his hands.
Wrecker," he said, "you have brought
me the only good thing life has ever
h?ld for me; I owe this beautiful lady
t you. and I owe you to her, since she
found you," here I protested with a
?.i owl. but Master protested firmly.
'Hold on. Wrecker. I've not finished:

NATURE'S CATARRH CURE.
Sensible and Scientific Way to Cur
This Disagreabl Diieast.
Nearly cveryona suffers at one time
or another with catarrh.
Tile natural way to cure Ihls dls.
riM'eeahlo disease Is by applying Ileal
itn medications direct to thr dlscas' d
spot.
In no other way can this be d. no as
naturally as by the use of llyomel.
I. ii allied through the lie.U pocket I;.
baler that comes with every outfit.
Tut s. veral drops of llyomel In the
Inhaler and then for a few minutes.
i''tir or the times a day, let (he air
ou breathe come through It. In that
'. ay all the air that enters the nasal
nassages. tile throat or the lungs. Is
tilled with Myomel's healing medica
tion, reaching the respiratory organs,
destroying all catarrhal genus and
soothing and hcalh g the Irritated mu
cous membrane.
A few days' us,, of Hyomci will show
how quickly It relieves all catarrhal
ndition. and you will not have to
use it long before you find It has ef-
ftcted a complete and lasting cure.
So strong Is T. K. Iiurln's faith In
th power of llyomel to cure catarrhal
troubles, that with every dollar out
fit he gives a guarantee to refund the
money unless the remedy gives satis
faction. He takes all the responsi
bility and you cannot afford to suffer
longer with catarrh when an offer like
thlf Is made to you.
Should extra Kittles of llyomel be
needed they can be obtained for r.oc.
making this one of the most econom
ical as well as the most reliable reme
dies for catarrh that Is known.
