Of course I knew that we wera tak ing a chance -when we gave axdog of Tom's get-op-and-get tha run of tha place. ;v., - v. s: 'J,', -t'-j ': Tom reminded me of an alert coun try boyJust what I had been-on a visit to a city for the first time. He was full of curiosity, and Innocent daring. Els good-natured face wore a winning smile and everybody made up to him. ; , ; ; " As I stepped into the car, nd it pulled out for downtown, I said to myself that it Tom got through that day without mishap he would ba all right, feeling of relief had come over me; I had temporarily shifted the responsibility of caring for the dog. All day I expected a telephone call, giving bad news of Tom, but none came, No newa waa good news. : r Klggs, a water spaniel that belonged to a tiny , boy next door to us, waa brought . up with Jack, a . bulldog, and waa clever at involving Jack in a fight, and quite as clever In staying out of it hlmsslt Jack and Stumpy, an older bulldog on the opposite corner, had a terrific war, one day, and it required a small army of men to aeparate them. Nine egged the two on but took care that his own hide, was not. punctured. Just before Tom - came Jack waa killed by a passing atreet car... Stumpy always had It in for Nlgga after that row with Jack, for he, like most ot the people who witnessed it, knew that the little dog started it. If Nlgga aver got anywhere, near Stumpy, and nobody waa about to in terfera, there would be a foot race to Nlgg's .back yard. These haaty re treats were very humiliating to Nlgga and his young master. Mack, a brown bulldog in . another block, waa -chummy -with Stumpy Nlgga aoon found that it would not do to meddle with Tom especially when he waa eating, or chewing a bono. Once or twice he waa aeverely chastised for a real or fancied offense. Stumpy and Mack, who had been In the habit of visiting our garbage can for a sweet morsel now and then, re sented the coming of the new dog. They came nosing around while Tarn was shut in the basement or tied under the' front porch. Tho two bulldogs spent much time together, and frequently made com mon cause agalnat an enemy. I sus pected that they would combine against Tom the Jlrst opportunity and kill or cripple blm, as he was young and inexperienced at fighting. For that reason I carefully warned Betty to keep her dog away from Stumpy and Mack. tit was evident that . Nlggs and Stumpy and Mack considered Tom a pampered, arlstocratio interloper. I had seen signs of Drawing trouble, over his advent to me neighborhood. - Tom'a first day out waa uneventful until late In the afternoon. Having heard nothing during the day I ap proached homo that evening with gladness in my heart. But, I waa doomed to disappointment, for when I stepped from tho car Betty came running, wringing her hands, and cry ing as if her heart were broken: "Come, Daddy, quick, Tom is bit to pieces, and Mamma is all covered with Wood! - , .. f , "The doga had an awful .fight!" ' Before I could get to the house Mrs. Bryant came from the back yard, her uplifted erme red. - "Well, it is all.bver, and I do not think it is as bad as it seemed to be or as -it. might hava been," aald she. Tom's mouth la cut, and one ear punctured, . but I don't believe that I got a bite The blood on me -came from Tom." :' Hlere la what happened after all of my warning about . the bulldogs: Four women of tne neighborhood without any prearranged plan, came s Dr. King's New Discovery used since Grant was President, Get a bottle today.

Each lady was followed by her dog. "Will your dog fight V asked Mra. Bryant of the owner ot Stumpy. ' "No, Stumpy ia a friendly flog," was the answer. ."And yourst" 4 . "No, Mack Is harmless."., " " v , In the t meantime the. doga the spaniel, the Airedale, and the two bulls, were walking around in a circle, growling, and scratching the earth, none of them appearing -to be angry. The prospects for a peaceful visitation were very bright. The 'ladles, each having given her assurance that her dog would not fight, entered tha new house, and climbed to the second floor, leaving their pets in the yard. Nlgga, seeing an opportunity to even an old score with Stumpy, made up to Tom Pence, and- gave him to under stand that the bulldogs were not de serving of his friendship. Having courted favor with Tom he lifted his 'tall a little higher, raised his bristles and dashed at Stumpy, knocking him down. Mack rushed in to take the part of his fallen pal, and Tom. spoil ing for a 'Scrap but did not want to start It, went in, cutting right and left with his sharp, atrong, young teeth. Niggs ran in and out barking furiously. - By the time' the women could get back to the yard the dogs were fight ing fiercely. Tom was using his pow erful Jaws, and razor-like teeth on the thick, hide of Stumpy and Mack. He waa fighting for victoryr Blood ran freely. Nlgga and Stumpy were beaten back by their respective owners, but Tom anit Mark vara tlnVarl tnsrather In a. grip of tusks. Mack had Tom by the ' mouth, but that did not prevent him ' 4.

Tom was Just beginning to get started. He waa eager to renew the fight, but Mra. Bryant and Betty car ried him homo. - Mack hobbled home. Stumpy made a detour by our back yard to sea what damage had been done. He was In good shape, he had escaped the hard part of the fight, but when Nlggs spied him near his prem ises he went after him again. Tom broke away from his friends, and Joined Nlggs. A new fight' was on. Soon Tom had8tumpy by the back of the neck and Nlgga had him by one hind foot, and the two ware stretch ing the bulldog until it hurt. A few minutes more and Stumpy would have had a broken neck, for Tom waa trying to kill hlnu That mix-up waa broken up by turn ing: on the hoae on the dogs. When Stumpy got free he set out for his kennel at a lively gait. Some days after that Tom came upon. Stumpy alone, some distance from home, and teaeed him by putting his sore feet upon bis back, and now and then patting him. Stumpy-growled ferociously, but made no attempt to bite Tom, who took the whole thing as a Joke, and looked at me as If he were laughing. s Mack never fully recovered from that melee. He- was badly lascerated and bruised. He could not stand up the following day. . Mra,' Bryant' had a black hand, which- she bruised beating one of the dogs to get him loose. Tom has never had a day out since. He is-either chained or in the back yard behind locked gates, or out with me. Ha waa out long enough to get in front of a atreet car, one day, and was caught up on the fender and thrown to one slde- v .
