"What then?” " Why the next day I knew lie had bought a ferocious bulldog to watch for my Tam.” "H’m! And did that end the trouble?” "Oh, no! I borrowed a wolf from an animal trainer to kill the bulldog.” ‘‘War to the knife, oh.? What was the' next chapter in the hitter feud?” “There was none. I heard he was about to purchase a tiger to kill my wolf, and as T couldn’t afford the price of an elephant to kill his tiger I thought it host to move.”
