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.

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 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.
