Kiddies’ Eveninsr
Story
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
The Motor Dog
Reynolds was a little dog belong
ing to a little boy named Reynolds.
It was very confusing at times.
Sometimes Reynolds, the dog, would
think he had been called and he
would rush along to the one who
had called, and when he got there
and politely wagged his tall
though to say, “Yes, what is it?" he
found that he had not been wanted
at all.
Sometimes when Reynolds, the
boy, went to the one who had called
he would find a nice bone there
which, of course, was meant for
Reynolds, the dog.
But, in spite of these little mis
takes, everything else went very
smoothly.
Reynolds, the dog, was very nice.
Reynolds, the boy, wns very nice,
too.
Now, tlie mother of Reynolds, the
boy, owned an automobile, and Rey
nolds, the boy, and Reynolds, the
dog, both loved motoring.
They liked to see such a gr^nt
many things as they did when they
were on a ride.
Oh, riding was great, great fun.
Reynolds, the dog, became so used
to it that he began to hate walking
and running.
Reynolds, the boy, did not like to
have to run errands so very much—
the motor got to places so quickly.
But he still did enjoy running and
games and all such things.
Reynolds, the dog, did not care
really about exercise after a time.
It was all anyone could do to get
him to take u walk.
They would say:
“Come, Reynolds, good dog, we’ll
have a walk.”
Reynolds always looked much dis
appointed. If they had suggested a |
ride it would have been different.
It was such fun to sit up in the
car and sniff the air and to let his
ears flap back and rest, but yet see
what was going on. Oh, it was de
lightful, indeed.
But Reynolds, the boy, thought
that Reynolds, the dog, needed ex
ercise.
So he would say:
“Come, Reynolds, you’re getting
lazy, you really must have some ex
ercise.
“We will have a little run and
maybe we will walk to the village.”
Well, Reynolds, the dog, did not
m i n d it s o much when they walked

to the village.
When they went off into the coun
try he did not like it, for that really
meant walking and running and
plenty of exercise.
When they went to the village
Reynolds, the dog. had thought up
a little trick, a very excellent little
trick, he thought.
He would pnss along by the auto
mobiles which were standing outside
the stores in the village and he
would jump up on the running
boards of the cars as though to say:
“Here I am, all ready for an in
titation.”
In this way the walks to the vil
lage were greatly interrupted by
many stops, for at each stop Rey
nolds, the boy, would have to urge
Reynolds, the dog, to come along.
Now one day Reynolds, village. the hoy.
had walked to the Reynolds,
the dog, had been sleeping on the
back porch and Reynolds, the boy,
had thought he would not bother to
awaken him for so short a walk.
After Reynolds, the boy, had been
gone a little while his mother
thought she would take a ride In
the automobile and do a few errands
In the village.
So she called Reynolds, the dog.
and asked him to go along, too.
In the village they passed Rey
nolds, the boy, walking. His mother
thought on her»way back she would
pick ish him up, but that she would fin
what she had to do first. Rey
nolds, the boy, called out to Rey
nolds, the dog, but he held his head
high. He did not notice those wi.o
were walking.
But later lie wns very sorry he
had been such a snobbish dog, and
when Reynolds talked to him he
hung Ids little tall between his legs
and was ashamed that he had been
a snoli.

Arnold** Wife Shared
in Husband*» Disgrace
April 8, 1770, Gen. Benedict Ar
nold and Margaret, better known
as l’eggy Xhippen, were married In
Philadelphia. The marriage wartime was
the culmination of a ro
mance. The groom, theaf a trusted
subordinate of General Washing
ton, was later to become the most
excoriated man in American his
tory. Arnold's Most unspeakable every one has treason, heurd and of j
even of his love affair with the
charming Peggy.
It was certain that his wife was
in absolute ignorance of Arnold’s
sad adventure. Indeed, ns soon as
the traitor was sure' of his own
safety he wrote to General Wash
ington asserting his wife’s Inno
cence, find saying: ‘7 beg she may
be permitted to return to her
friends in Philadelphia, or come to
me, as she may choose.” Washing
Ion, who was a Just man, believed
in her innocence. He offered to
send her with an escort to Philadel
phia, or to put her under a flag of
truce on the king’s ship, Vulture.
She chose the former and arrived
in Philadelphia about October 1,
1780, says the Detroit News. But
she had not been there a month
when the council adopted a resolu
tion ordering her to leave the city
and not to return during the war.
Five years later she came home
again, but was treated with so much
coldness and neglect, even by those
who had encouraged her marriage,
that she left again, never to re
turn. She remained with Arnold
during the remainder of his broken
and disgraced life. He died in Lon
don, an embittered and sad man,
without a country.

Recorded Their Fear
of Premature Burial
Fears of premature burial have
resulted In the formation of a so
ciety to effect reforms In the law of
death certification, writes Arthur
Pen deny s in John o’ London’s
Weekly. There Is, however, noth
ing new In thebe fears. The Egyp
tians kept the bodies of the dead
under careful supervision by the
priests previous fo embalming and
until satisfied that life was extinct.
The Greeks were aware of the dan
gers pf premature burial and often
cut off the fingers of a person be
lieved to be dead before cremation.
In modern times, the fear of be
ing burled alive has haunted many.
Wilkie Collins had this fear, and
always left overnight on his enjoining dress
ing table a note solemnly deil,
that, should he be found his
S u p po s ed death was to be carefully
tested by a doctor. Hans Anderson
always carried a note In his pdcket
to the same effect. Harriet Mar
tineau left her doctor $50 to see
that her head was amputated be
fore burial.
Hold Tortoise in Esteem
The tortoise, in the flowery em
pire of Japan, is regarded as a sym
bol of youth and is venerated. Wed
ding garments have tortoises paint
ed on them, as also have New
Year’s gifts. A legend heard in
China states that the tortoise is
supposed to have home upon its
shell the basis of moral teachings
and the secrets of the unseen. It
is more revered in 'China than
among practical Japanese. When
fishermen around any of the sea
ports haul a large one in with their
catch, they find a Chinese merchant
to buy it. The Chinaman then
carves his name on the shell, that
the animal may know to whom it
owes its life, and taking it out Into
deep water allows it to go free, thus
insuring a prosperous long life for
himself.
Symbolic Indian Masks
According to the Bureau of Amer
ican Ethnology, tribes of Indians
throughout North America wore
masks at religious festivals and at
some social gatherings. Sometimes
the priests alone were masked,
though in other cases the entire
company ,would appear In masks.
The false faces generally repre
sented supernatural beings. The
simplest form of mask was one pre
pared from the head of a buffalo,
deer, or some other animal. The
mask stood, not for the actual ani
mal, but for the type of animal
and Its supernatural character
istics, and the person wearing It
was for the time being endowed
with the distinctive quality of the
animal.
Nature’s Great Gas Tank
At natural gas tank with a great
er capacity than any tank that man
has ever urn ie is in use at Spring
field, N. Y. In fact, is it said to
have a capacity tX) times greater
than any tank at present in use. It
is a big hole in the ground, with
some peculiar formations which
jaako-^ju.xtaiy-.jaicMrg..
was formerly the center of a nat
ural gas field, but the field wns ex
hausted, hut this great holder is
now used as a storage tank for
the gas from other wells. It is
pumped in during the summer
months and drawn upon during the
winter when the demands for gas
are greater. This hole has a stor
age capacity of -100,000,000 cubic
feet.
A Conundrum
In moving and settling down the
Dodge family had subsisted on short
rations, and one morning Mrs.
Dodge found herself facing an un
known deficit
"Mary,” she said to the mnid-of
nll-work, “what Is there' in the
storeroom?”
"Every blessed thing Is given out
but the tea an’ coffee,” Mary In
formed her, "an’ sure they will, If
they last long enough.”—Every
body's Magazine.
Don’t Get Together
Jud Tonkins says a man who
thinks of nobody but hlrtiself is sure
to get lonesome, owing to the fact
that he and most other people are
not Interested In (he same subject.
