Today's Complete Sl.ort Story,
ii \ MY said,” began the girl who
A\ likes to talk, "that Bob was
gentle as a kitten and so af
fectionate that in contrast a pair of
love birds were petrified images of
heartlessness. She said many other
things, too, over the telephone about
the bull terrier that in a misguided
moment they purchased some time
ago, but that was because she was
trying to make me think I was crazy
to have him while she and her hus
band went to Panama.
"I was to pass a few days with her
and get acquainted with the paragon
of dogs. Amy said that she always
felt perfectly safe with Bob in the
apartment, because he would chew up
any burglar who appeared. On the
way over I grew-rather worried, won
dering whether Bob was clever
enough to distinguish between a call
er who was a burglar and a caller
who wasn’t. Then I recalled Bob’s
gentleness and took heart.
"When the front door was opened I
thought the end had come. Some
thing huge and white fell across the
hall table, and, stepping all over me,
attempted to climb on my shoulder
and perch there. I screamed faintly
and wondered if the Pasteur treat
ment hurt much. Then I was con
scious of Amy’s voice.
Very Affectionate.
“ ‘He’s so affectionate!’ said Amy in
a proud voice. ‘I never knew him to
take such an instant liking to any
one before! He realizes that you love
dogs, I am sure!*
" Tm crazy about them!’ I assured
her as I intrenched myself behind two
chairs and a davenport. ‘However, I
don’t care for those aerial effects my
self! Can't he keep his feet on the
ground?’
"Amv looked hurt and said she
should have thought that I would ap
preciate a dumb animal’s fondness for
me. She was interrupted by Bob’s
giving an exhibition of his dumbness
when he saw the postman out of the
window. Dashing at the glass at the

twinkled his eyes. I think these dogs
greatly enjoy life. It must be line to
feel that you can make the whole
universe bow to the ground and olinVb
trees if you wriggle your chin or flop*
an ear.
“I unpacked my suitcase neatly, and
then when I went to dress for dinner
1 found that Bob had ea.en the heels
off my evening slippers.
“ 'It’s the funniest thing!’ Amy said,
enthusiastically, when I wailed out
the trouble. “That dog always has
had the most insane fondness for shoe
heels! We couldn’t have a decent
shoe in the house when we first got
him. He Is so intelligent!’
"When Bob was taken out of doors
it was with as many precautions as
though he were a man-eating tiger.
For my part I would as soon* sally
forth with the jungle b-ast as with
that animal. He had a harness on of
battleship leather—well, they have
battleship linoleum. anyhow—and
snapped to that w«s a leash with a
loop to go over your wrist, and then
you had a whip.
“Hung On and Slid.”
“I felt just as though the band was
going to . lay as, I enter ?d the saw
dust ring when I took l ob outdoors
that day. He shot up the street In
stantly, and as it was slippery I hung
on and slid, shriekin;; at him to stop.

my hands over his eyes or chloro
formed him till the cat had strolled
by. If I had fancied up to now that
Bob had been hastening I was mis
taken. He had been dawdling, bit *
when he saw that cat he turned on
full speed.
“AH that I remember is hurtling
through 1 e air, hanging to the leash
for dear life, for Amy had cautioned
me that I had the safety of the pub
lic in my hands, and so I did not dare
let go. Bob spread himself low over
the ground and just ate up the dis
tance. We chased that cat down the
street, then through an a ley and then
whizzed up the steps of a big house
Just as the front door opened and a
perfectly lovely man env rged attired
for an afternoon weddirg or a tea-
figHt.
“I let Boh go then, because I fen
over the top step.
He Was Sympathetic.
“The tea-fight man, after rising
from where he had been tossed bv
Bob. picked me up. There were aw’-
ful sounds of riot from inside the
house, where Bob had treed the cat
on a mantel. It really was an un
usual situation.
“ ‘He is such an intelligent dog ’ I
stuttered. ‘And so affectionate.’
The tea-fight man actually
grinned. T owned a terr er once my
self!’ he confided, under dandingly.
“Just then Bob dashed out and
climbed into my lap with his muddy
pa\NS, just as though ho was not
something slightly iels than a young
hippopotamus. Laying his huge head
on my shoulder, he sighed contenterf-
iy. as though he had had a very
pleasant afternoon, indeed.
“Oh, yes, I’m going to take him
while Amy is away. I think a littlf
excitement will do me good.’’
