BORN to the tight trace and bred for the long haul was Jerry. So there was no nonsense about him. From square, honest muzzle to solid rump he was soundly built, fashioned for work and for nothing else. Yet, when he was first hooked into Mr. P. Dolan's new single truck, a vehicle as substantially built as Jerry himself, the turnout was one in which pride might be taken. Mr. P. Dolan, although little given to vain thoughts, certainly viewed it with satisfaction. As for the truck, it was the best that money could buy. Mr. P. Dolan had seen it at the factory before the paint and varnish had gone on.

AT the age of six Skipper went on the force. Clean of limb and sound of wind he was, with not a blemish from the tip of his black tail to the end of his crinkly forelock.

So Skipper's disposition was sweet and his nature a trusting one.

"Excuse me, mister man, but ain't you-Hello, yourself Blamed if I didn't think there was somethin' kind of natural about the looks, as you come pikin' by. How're they runnin', eh? Well say, I ain't seen you since we used to hit up the grammar school together. You've seen me, eh? Oh, sure I'd forgot. That was when you showed up at the old Athletic club the night I got the belt away from the Kid. Doin' sportin' news then, wa'n't you? Chucked all that now, I s'pose?"

"Do things just happen, like peculiar changes in the weather, or is there a general scheme on file somewhere? Is it a free-for-all we're mixed up in-with our Harry Thaws and our Helen Kellers; our white slavers, our white hopes, and our white plague campaigns; our trunk murders, and our fire heroes? Or are we runnin' on schedule and headed somewhere? I ain't givin' you the answer. I'm just slippin' you the proposition, with the side remark that now and then, when the jumble seems worse than ever, you can get a glimpse of what might be a clew, or might not."

"Sure, I was carryin' the banner. But say, I ain't one of them kids that gets callouses on the hands doin' it. When I'm handed the fresh air on payday, I don't choke to death over it. I goes out and rustles for another job. And I takes my pick, too. Why not? It's just as easy. This time I gets a bug that the new Octopus Buildin' might have been put up special for me. Anyway, it looked good from the outside, and I blows in through the plate glass merry go round. The arcade was all to the butterscotch, everything handy, from an A. D. T. stand to Turkish baths in the basement."
