Then a stray mongrel wandered upon the scene one day and caused a great deal of excitement. how do you do! Wont come in? asked Mother as she opened the front door. Both Freddie and I looked up to see who ic yYHY, you the caller might .be. The shades were drawn in the living room, so we couldnt see who was standing on the porch. Mother had darkened the room to protect Freddys eyes because Freddy had the measles. He was covered with a blanket and curled up on the day bed which had been moved down from upstairs. I was spread out on the floor with the erector set. We waited to see the unexpected visitor, and imagine our surprise when in walked a big brown dog. The newcomer trotted across the room to inspect me, and I patted him on the head. Then he went over to the day bed and nuzzled his big head against Freddy, as much as to say: Hi, there, Bud, Ive come to help you get well! "O, gee, Mom," cried Freddy excitedly, "a dog! Can we keep him, Mom? Where did he come from? Whats his name? Now, now, not so fast, son, interrupted Mother, as she settled Freddy under the blanket again. He just came to the door when I went to get the mail, and I thought maybe hed help you pass the time while you're closed up here with the measles. Do you like him? Boy, Ill say, Freddy and I chanted in unison, hes 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 hadnt had those big floppy, hound-doears. We had always wanted a dog but Dad said we didnt have a place for a dog, and he wouldnt have one if he had to keep it tied. "Whatll we call him, Mom? I asked eagerly. Why dont you and Freddy fig- - j ure 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: Lets call him Jack, Freddy. Yeah Jack's a good name all right. Here, Jack, come over here, Id 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 nanfe already." We had a wonderful time with Jack until Dad came home. Whats going on here? he called when he saw the dog stretched out on the living room floor. Where did that mongrel come from? He came to help me get well. Dad," piped Freddy from his haven on the day bed. Freddy always could work Dad for most anything, and when he finished telling Dad how the dog just practically came up and knocked on the door to help Freddy get well, Dad just grinned and said grudgingly: Well, I guess we can keep him for a while . . . until you get well anyhow. But after Freddy got well. Jack stayed. Dad kicked about it a little, but he finally agreed to let us have Jack if we kept him in the basement at night, and the dog didnt get into any trouble. We both promised! But keeping Jack out of trouble was like trying to keep water from flowing downhill. Everything went along fine until Mr. Westour came over to complain that Jack had dug up his garden to bury a bone. All our efforts to explain didnt appease Dad very much, and he was disgusted. Then Jack chased Roushs cat, and the cat got caught in the porch railing and couldnt get out until old man Roush sawed the railing loose. Naturally, he wasnt too pleased about that. Dad was adamant by that time, and insisted Jack would have to go. He had found some farmer 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 wed usually chase him home after a block or two. But one morning, when the snow was coming down pretty heavily, Jack trotted along behind us. Go back. Jack, I shouted at Go on home, old boy," but him. the dog kept trotting along behind us. I threw stones at him and tried everything I could think of, but he until about a month later. One of the neighbors said: You know, I think I saw your dog this morning over at the Whittier 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 didnt have much time to hunt for him, as I was practicing every night for a school play. The night of the plays 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 and made a beedine for the stage tongs and using your fingers. S? " Bake Your Fruit Cakes Early (See Recipes Below) Early Christmas Plan NOT TOO early to think of Christmas now, especially if you school. As we entered the building, Freddy shouted to the dog: You wait here till we come out. him, 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 couldnt find him anywhere. I guess were 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 just like hed never been away from home. Everyone welcomed him back, and even Dad didn't say a 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 bad disappeared. got j0me that night. yyHEN weasked Wheres Jack? him all day. He followed us to school this I explained, morning, Mamma, but when I came out to get him, he was gone. Well, I suppose that saves your father the trouble of getting rid of she said. him, Take off your coats and hang them up to dry. Youre all wet from the snow. No one had much to say at the supper table that night. Even Dad was pretty quiet, and he went to the window several times to look out before we went to bed. Two dejected little boys prayed fervently for the of a lost dog that night. We rolled and tossed all night long, wondering where our pet might be. That was the last we saw of Jack safe-keepin- g v word. But our pleasure in our dog last long.

Piercing the dusk; they center in the eyes Of the kneeling child like twin Cars shining there; They glimmer through the rwibght of the room, And make a halo of the mothers hair.

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 wasnt 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 couldnt j 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 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 fishing trip, something was missing. We were sitting on the porch one afternoon waiting for Dad to come home for supper. Freddy sighed and said: Poor old Jack. Mother asked, Boys, youre surely not moaning about that dog yet, are you? Just then T)ad swung the car into the driveway. From along side the house, we heard him honk the horn. Freddy ran to see what he wanted, he burst around the cor- j Suddenly, ner the house, carrying a squirming puppy in his arms and shouting: Hey. Mom, look what Daddy brought home. He's our new dog.
