B ALD Y OF NOM E 



What a homecoming it was for the dog. 

 "Scotty" Allan warmly praised him, and 

 Matt listened in cordial admiration. She 

 almost wept on his neck and said he de- 

 served a Carnegie Medal, whatever that 

 was, but suggested a large juicy beefsteak 

 as an immediate compromise. George 

 Allan and Danny Kelly, from out their 

 superior wisdom of dog affairs, conceded 

 frankly that it was more than they had ex- 

 pected of a "sourball" ; while most grati- 

 fying of all, Dubby came in to express, 

 with strenuous waggings of his docked 

 tail, his surprise and satisfaction that a 

 member of a purely sporting fraternity 

 had distinguished himself so highly; had 

 acted in fact, in a manner worthy of a 

 thoroughbred huskie; and Baldy, know- 

 ing that Dubby had himself and his un- 

 blemished career in mind, felt that this 

 was indeed the climax of approval.
