Of course, the state la said to be Re'

It looks like the Democratic cam

Still failing to warn those in danger he
rushed frantically back and ' forth
through tha hallways and rooms yelping
and barking furiously.
He at last succeeded In arousing the
occupanta from their perilous slumber
and they rushed from the building. No
one thought of tha dog who had warned
them aa they hastened from the build
