THE DOG DISAPPEARED.
"Well," said Mr. Tompkin, as he sat down to his desk rather later than usual, "they've been to sec me at last." "Who ?" "Burglars."
"You don't say so ! I suppose you'll have to borrow spoons to use at dinner to-night, now?" "No. The spoons aren't silver, and so they left them alone." "Take any money*?" "No." i "Any clothing?"
"Not a stitch." "Well, I don't see that you've any cause to complain."
"Perhaps you don't; but when you get attached to an animal, it's hard to lose him. They went through the house and couldn't find anything worth taking, so they stole my watch-dog."
