SECTION TWO DR. WESCOTT SOLVES The Case Os The Talking Dog By YVilborne Harrell A CHOWAN HERALD FICTION STORY Conclusion At the intersection Dr. Wes cott set Pooohie on the ground. The dog sat on his haunches, cocked his head at Wescott and barked. “Go find Melissa, Poochie.” At the sound of Melissa’s name Poochie harked again, hesi tated a moment, and then trotted off down the road. Dr. Wescott, Crosby and I fol lowed at a discreet distance. Up ahead Poochie ran along as though he knew exactly where He was going. About half a mile beyond the intersection, Poochie turned off the road and headed for a de lapidated old house set among a group of trees. All three of us tensed. “This is it,” said Dr. Wescott. We crossed the highway, climbed a broken-down fence, and strode off across the fields to circle the house. “Keep under, cover,” growled Crosby. “If Sailor Dugan catch es sight of us now, ! thc whole thing will blow up jn our faces.” Crouching, half running and half walking, we made our way across the fields and at the rear of the house drew up under Don’t Lag—Buy Olagj dentist* iay "wonderful** "baet tooth paite on th* xnarkeJ **bMt r»» avar used*' . . .

Poochie could be heard barking | furiously. “Now,” said Crosby, and we ; made a run for the back door, | and made it without any mishap. We half expected shots from the house. Crosby drew his revolver and | flattened himself at one side of j the door. Dr. Wescott, gun in hand, stood alertly at the other side. I stood beside Wescott— j I’m not ashamed to admit that jmy knees were shaking. ) Poochie was still barking, and then came a yell from someone, ! and a yip from the dog. ; “Inside! Quickly!” shouted j Crosby. He stood away from I the door and driving his heavy-booted foot against the . lock, crashed inside. Dr. Wes cott and I scrambled at his heels. Dr. Wescott and Crosby dived I for the floor, guns ready. I d-iv !ed likewise. j Sailor Dugan burst into the i room, frantically trying to bring j his gun to bear on Poochie who | was hanging onto the Sailor’s I pants leg like grim death; caus ing the Sailor to hesitate a mo ment and aim a kick at the dog. | That • split second hesitation on j the part of the Sailor was a j lucky break for us. Dugan fired, once, twice, but the shots went wild. Both Crosby and Wescott were 1 blazing away, and Dugan fell. It was all over in a matter of, seconds. I caught a glimpse of a curly ! headed little figure, staring with frightened eyes, lying on the bed. Hardly before the sound of; the shots had died away, I had j Melissa in my arms. Terrified j and trembling, her little arms held me tightly around the neck. I don’t know who was scared the most, me or Melissa. I stroked her hair. “It’s all right, honey, it’s all right. We’ve come to take you home to your daddy.” As it turned out, Sailor Du gan had only been creased and not badly hurt, and when Cros by snapped on the handcuffs, Dugan growled, “How'd you cop pers find me?” Lieutenant Crosby gave him a shove. “A little dog told us. Get going!” On the ride back to town, I held Melissa in my lap and she still clung to me tightly around the neck. Poochie sqt between us and Dr. Wescott. Lieutenant Crosby drove with the manacled j Dugan at his side, now strangely i quiet. | Melissa looked into the kind ly face of Dr. Wescott. “Mr. Wescott, can Poochie really and truly talk? That policeman man said that Poochie told you where to find me.” Poochie whirled and snuggled, close to Melissa. Dr. Wescott turned and strok ing Poochie, said, “No, Melissa, Poochie can’t really and truly talk, like you and I, but in his j own way he did tell us where ‘ to find you. And he was very brave in helping to rescue you. Yes, after what he did, I’d say ; Poochie was a very brave and loyal dog. And although he can’t really talk, he has his own way of telling us things.” Poochie barked and nuzzled Dr. Wescott’s cheek.
