to keep water from flowing down
hill. Everything went along flue un
til Mr. Westour came over to com
plain that Jack had dug up his gar
den to bury a bone. All our efforts
to explain didn't appease Dad very
much, and he was disgusted.
Then Jack chased Roush's cat.
and the cat got caught in the porch
railing and couldn’t get out until old
man Roush sawed the railing loose.
Naturally, he wasn't too pleased
about that.
Dad was adamant by that time,
and insisted Jack would have to go.
He had found some farm er who
would take the dog. But Jack had
a knack for taking things into his
own hands, or I guess we ought to
say, his own paws!
He had a habit of following us to
school, but we d usually chase him
home after a block or two. But one
morning, when the snow was com-
until about a month later. One of
the neighbors said:
"You know. I think I saw your
dog this morning over at the Whit
tier school. He was outside watch
ing the children as they came out.
I stopped the car and turned around,
but by the time I went back to look
for him, he was gone.”
Mother replied that Jack was
probably making the rounds of the
schools looking for us.
We kept
searching and hoping, renewed by
the news that Jack was still alive.
But we didn't have much time to
hunt for him, as I was practicing
every night for a school play. The
night of the play’s performance we
almost found Jack again.
During the second act. there was
a lot of commotion near the back of
the auditorium, and several ushers
ran up and down the aisles. It was
pretty hard for us to enact the scene
with all that commotion going on in
the auditorium.
On the way home. I asked Mom
what the noise was. and she
