I threw stones at him and tried What's his name?" everything I could think of, but he "Now, now, not so fast, son," interrupted Mother, as she settled Freddy under the blanket again. "He just came to the door when I f srf went to get the mail, and I thought maybe he'd help you pass the time while you're closed up here with the measles. Do you like him?" "Boy, I'll say," Freddy and I chanted in unison, "he's swell!" The newcomer, who was busy Inspecting the premises, was just dog; part airedale, part hound. He was big, grayish-browand would have passed for a genuine airedale if he hadn't had those big floppy, until about a month later. One of the neighbors said: "You know, I think I saw your dog this morning over at the Whit-tie- r school. He was outside watching 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 ivas 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 laughed. "I think it was your old friend," she replied. "What do you mean, Mom?" I questioned. "Why a dog got in during the play for the stage and made a bee-lin- e iwmmm wmmmm mm. hound-do- g , t. SI ,,y,c ' asked eagerly. "Why don't you and Freddy figure that out for yourself, son," she said as she went toward the kitchen to get dinner under way. All my life I had wanted people to call me Jack, because I liked it for a nickname; but all I ever heard was just plain John, so I said: "Let's call him Jack, Freddy." "Yeah Jack's a good name all right. Here, Jack, come over here, old boy!" he called to the dog. And Jack wagged his tail, put his big front paws up on the couch, and licked Freddy on the nose. "Gosh, look, John," said Freddy, "he knows his name already." We had a wonderful time with Jack until Dad came home. "What's going on here?" he called when he saw the dog stretched out on the living room floor. "Where did that mongrel But keeping Jack out of trouble was like tryingfrom flowing downhill. kept coming right along. Nothing we could do would persuade him to go back. We knew we'd be late if we didn't hurry, so we went on to school. As we entered the building, Freddy shouted to the dog: "You wait here till we come out, Jack!" I asked my teacher if I could bring Jack in, and she gave consent if I would promise to keep him quiet. I hurried out to find him, but Jack had disappeared. got home that night. WHEN weasked: come from?" "Where's Jack? I haven't seen "He came to help me get well. him all day." "He followed us to school this Dad," piped Freddy from his haven on the day bed. morning.

I looked around to see four of them dragging him up the aisle, and it looked for all the world like Jack." "But let's go back and look for him," I cried. "Your father and I did look for him, son, as soon as the play was over," said Mother as the car turned in the driveway at home. "But we couldn't find him anywhere. I guess we're just not supposed to have him back anymore." But two days later, just as suddenly as he had gone. Jack came home! Freddy was out shoveling snow off the sidewalk, and Jack came bounding up the street Jus like he'd never been away froiti home. Everyone welcomed him back, and even Dad didn't say a word. But our pleasure in our dog didn't last long. About a month later. Jack was lying on the front porch. Teddy Long, a tot about two who lived across the street from us, was playing on the sidewalk in front of his house. He toddled toward the curb, and was climbing down Into the street when Jack leaped to the center of the street, barking furiously at the youngster. Just then a car came around the corner, and struck Jack. Jack wasn't dead, but nearly all his ribs were broken. Dad sat up with him through two long nights, feeding him and nursing him, but old Jack just couldn't make it. Our only consolation was that Jack had undoubtedly sacrificed his life to save little Teddy; for the car could have struck the youngster just as easily. But this was a logic difficult for youngsters to understand. Freddy cried as though his heart would break, and I guess I was pretty tearful myself. After waiting so long to get our dog back, it was pretty tough, having to lose him so soon. Things were so glum around the house that Mother decided we ought to have a party to cheer things up. But it was no use . . . nothing could take the place of our lost dog. Even when spring came and Dad took us on a Ashing trip, something was missing. We were sitting on the porch one afternoon waiting for D.id to come home for supper. Freddy sighed and said: "Poor old Jack." 0 Chicago 8U, III. for pattern.
