Dog Dot» Town’a Grooting
A huge St. Bcmnrd dog la the re-
ception committee at the little mining
Tillage of White Horse, Alaska. Tour-
ists reluming here relate how 1m
pressed they were with the cordiality
of the unique welcome accorded them
there. Mrs. C. 0. Puffer of Brockton,
Mass., world traveler, told this story,
according to the New York World.
"As we alighted In the town we
were met by a large curly-hnlred St
Bernard dog. He cnrrled a Sign which
read. ‘Iteceptlon Committee of White
Horse. Welcome. Shake.’
"We stretched out our hand nnd the
smiling dog with massive head and
kindly eyes raised a powerful paw for
our handclasp.
"At the slightest squeer.e of hla foot
the big dog welcomed every one by a
hoarse hnrk. which Immediately start-
ed all the malamutes In the village,
until It became one howling pande
montum."
Dog Moot Stay Oat
"I don't mind the children having a
dog.” explained a Trumbull avenue
woman recently, “but hereafter, the
animal hBs got to he kept out of the
house wlille I’m cooking. I had Just
made a batch of light rolls, and had
them In a pan In front of the (Ire to
raise. They had Just got a good start,
and I left the room. When I came
hack, the dog had got Into the kitchen
some way and was just finishing the
last of the rolls. They muat hove been
pretty good, too, for he swelled up
until he was almost twice aa Idg
around as lie ought to he. It didn't
do him any permanent damage phy-
sically. hut I guess It hurt hla feeling*
when I told him what I thought; any-

“N*4 so fnsl— not an fast," cried

And. •* ilia spur uf lha moment,
pen determined that when Ids fallw-r

I'erlmps lien’s sudden decision along
Ilia line was influenced toy hla Intro-
duction In Betty. Anil, ns soon an lie
had come tu the decision, lie grald*ed
up hla hat and tore nut nf the house
to hie high-powered roadster, which lie
MNin llnslied over the pavement at n
In w-defying speed toward lletty'a
Imme.
Ila saw her atepiilng from • ear
drawn up nt the eurtdng In front of
her Imme. The enr belonged to Ben's
father.
Upon muklng this discovery that ll
wna from Ida father's ear that Betty
wna stepping, Ben Instantly deter
mined In drive on. But Betty spied
him and waved to him to stop.
"Oil, lien.*’ site cried, "wait • min-
ute. I want to see you. I’m going to
have a party," Betty explained ani-
matedly, her pretty face alert and
amlllnf. 'it's going to he a dann
tomorrow night. I want you to come;
will youT
looked at hla father, who was
smiling. Ben's father nodded.
"Sure," mild Ben. "I like to dance.
Who ahall I bring)"
Betty mimed o pretty girt, n girl that
Ben would Imre delighted to'take If
lie hadn't ao suddenly and Impetuously
become enamored of belly.
"1 asked your father to come," went
on Betty brightly, "but he snya he
won't do IL I think your father’s nice
—he saw me shopping downtown nnd
picked roe up nnd brought roe home.
She auilled gayly ut Henry Bowen.
And Ben, with a sudden tug at hla
heart, saw tola father’s face wreathe
In smiles.
Waa It Betty that Henry Bowen wet
planning to marry) ,
This question troubled Ben consid-
erably during the early part of Betty's
dance.
There came the sudden thought to
him of running off with Betty at once,
but he hesitated, inasmuch aa hla fa
I her had discovered Betty and might
have keen the first to fall In love with
her.
The thing to do, apparently, waa to
not see Betty any more until the affair
had had a chance to develop and he
could see Just where his father stood
But not to nee Betty was a rather
difficult proposition, as the young set
with whom she played had adopted
Ben at once and claimed him as their
own. So repeatedly Ben met Betty,
and each time he did so he fell more
deeplylh love* with her than ever.
So one souther afternoon, as they
stood in her father’s library, he said
simply: “J'm going away, Betty."
"lining away)" she answered, as
though not understanding him.
"Yes, to South America, or some-
where. liood-by 1"
He didn't look at her as he shook
her hand, so he didn't see the strained
look In her eyes. And It was because
his head was hent as he hurried from
the IJbrary that he failed to see the
long draperies nt the library windows
stirring strangely as he passed.
Straight tv his home Ben went nnd
started packing. And It was there he
looked up aome time later to see his
father standing In the doorway and
smiling at him.
"Hello, Ben," Mid hla father, "going
away) Not getting ready for a honey-
moon, are you) You nnd Betty seem
to be getting along ao well. She’d
make a fine wife for you, Beni"
"For roe)" repeated lien, In throb-
bing n m* lenient.
"Yes—nothing would plena* me
morel" said Ben's father.
"Why," cried Ben, "I Ihought-
that Is, I was afraid—well, I'm tickled
pink, thnfa *111"
And with a wild leap Ben waa out
of the room and tearing down the
hall, Intent upon reaching Betty Just
«• speedily as he could.
And liecause Ben didn't look back
he failed to see tbe dull anguish Id
his father's face nnd the wist that
came Into tola father's eyes. A fid*
comradeship It wee between Ren and
his father—n dne, splendid
