In the afternoon Mr. San horn and

across the Brook linn bridge to Cotlugu

that his pet was still pursuing tlio car

Allston. A fow minutes later, upon
turning around, ho missed the animal,
but presuming that Nunk had become
confused at tlio press of turnout at
that part of tlio road, nnd that he
would run homo when ho discovered
that he bad lost his muster's team,
pave little thought to the matter.
But the dog wus not nt home when
they arrived, nor did ho put in an ap

When it is remembered that Yum
Yum might have run back to her old
home tit any lime during UiopaMsn
months, but never did. and that she
choso Unit particular uighl and hour,
tlio aigiiillcunco is apparent. She wan
ders disconsolately about the premises,
spilling in every corner for fitithful
.N'unki und apparently sorrowfully la
infilling her brother's loss: and Mr.

The L'il'ls in Vt'aterbui'v. Conn., pot
the "putty jur craw." and tliey made
life a burden to the policemen of that
town for awhile. Tlio policemen nat
urally inferred that all the vouii.t la
dies in the street had gono stark mud.
Uovics of fiihcinatiiig and beautiful
girls were seen to dart suddenly into
the street now and then, pounce upou
something in the gutter or on the road
bed, pick il up, and iheu rulurn to the
sidewalk and trip sure uely on. They
.fire merely gathering raw material
for tlio piilty )ur i r.0.0. Due bewitch

the putty jar business is. "Il k lots of
fun, 'said she; "you bel il is. Why,
you see, you tcl any kind of a Jar. tbe
cuter the heller, ami you gel your fa
ther or brother to roll out some putty,
nnd you have him cover every purl of
