VARIEGATED DOGS-THE BAD BOY SLEEPS ON THE KOOP-A MAN DOESN'T KNOW EVERYTHING AT FORTY-EIGHT-THE OLD MAN WANTS SOME POLLYNURIOUS WATER-THE DYER'S DOGS-PROCESSION OP THE DOGS-PINK, BLUE, GREEN AND WHITE-"WELL I'M DEM'D-HIS PA DON'T APPRECIATE. "How do you and your Pa get along now," asked the grocery-man of the bad boy, as he leaned against the counter instead of sitting down on a stool while he bought a bottle of liniment.

But I am too gay for Pa, and you needn't be surprised if you never see me again. I talk of going off with a circus. Since I played the variegated dogs on Pa, there seems to have been a coldness in the family, and I sleep on the roof.
