OUR DICK. 



you are to have, and whom you are 

 going to marry, that a "roofer" would 

 try to slink in. But, somehow or other, 

 Dick knew of his presence at once, and, 

 despite the "roofer's" cleverness with his 

 claws and teeth, he soon retired, often 

 w r ith hardly enough fur on his back to 

 make a doll's muff.
