BRUNO 97 



I still have the package of letters received 

 then. I have just been reading them over 

 again. Bruno pervades them all. It is - 



" Took Bruno with me to the office to-day, he 

 begged so hard when I started to leave him; 

 it 's lonely for him, poor fellow ! ' 



And 



" While I ate breakfast, I had the waiter put 

 up a good lunch for Boonie ; he 's getting tired 

 of biscuit, and I don't like to give him raw 

 bones." 



On Sunday, 



"I took Bruno a long walk in the suburbs 

 to-day. It did him a lot of good." 



A letter written just before I returned 

 says, 



" Bruno seems down-hearted to-night ; I think 

 he misses somebody." 



I returned as soon as Julius wrote that he had 

 procured a house. The welcome I received 

 told me that Bruno was not the only one who 

 had missed "somebody."
