Dog Gone!
By GENEVRA COOK

WNU 8ervice
MR. MOONEY of Moosevtlle stood
In the door of his cabin In the
woods which covered the side of
Moosevllle mountain, peering near
sightedly at a folded copy of a news
paper which he held In a leathery
brown hand.
LOST: Big tan dog resembling hound.
Name: Floppy-ear. Reward: $10.00.
P. O. Box 391, Moosevllle.
Ills steps made slightly uncertain
by years and rheumatism, Mr. Mooney
limped across the cabin, and opened
the door Into the woodshed.
“Come 'ere. Floppy-earl”
The big tan dog ambled toward him.
Mr. Mooney regarded her speculative
ly. "Now If those people that put
thet air notice In the paper sees my
sign I stuck up in the post office, I
guess likely your folks’ll be right
along, ma'am. Some o’ those summer
folks up to the lake, most likely.
Don’t know no better'n to go wan
derin’ all over the amounting.”
At the sound of a car laboring nois
ily up the steep hill, he closed the
woodshed door upon the dog. und hob
bled outside. The car was an old one
painted blue and gold, and the driver
was a fair-haired slim girl, with blue
eyes to match her sweater and beret.
She left the car at the end of the road
out past the thick trees clustered
around the edge of the clearing, and
came running across the stony field to
the cabin.
“Hello!” she called. “Have you got
Floppy-ear?" She came up to him,
brenthless. “Oh, please, is she here?
I’ve looked everywhere!”
There was the sound of barking
from behind the wood shed door. “Oh,
she Is here! Here’s the reward." She
thrust into the tough wrinkled right
hand of .Mr. Mooney a crisp, new ten
dollar bill.
Suddenly there was a honk! honk I
from the direction of the cur. "Oh,
whoever is blowing the horn of my
car? I came up alone! Wait!” And
she was gone, leaving Mr. Mooney
looking after her, his mouth still
opened to spenk.
“1 beg your pardon, sir!” Mr.
Mooney gave a violent start. There
at his side was a tall, good-looking
youth with dark hair.
“1 came to claim my dog, sir. You
have her here, I think—In the shed,
perhaps?” With three long strides,
he was past the astonished Mr.
Mooney and had opened the door of the
shed. The dog came bounding out to
him, jumping at his legs, exhibiting
every sign of Joy and recognition.
“Here,” smiled the young man.
“Here is the reward! Thank you,
sir!” He thrust Into the left hand of
Mr. Mooney a neatly folded ten dollar
hill. "Come, Floppy-ear!" he called,
and started across the Held.
Before he had gone two steps the
girl was facing him, her eyes flashing.
Without speaking to him, she turned
scornfully away. “Come. Floppy-ear!"
she called. And the dog came running
to her, jumping, barking, with Joy.
Mr. Mooney, because he was near
sighted. had to move nearer to them
In order to puzzle it out. He had to
move nearer still, because we was a
little hard of hearing. But neither of
them noticed him at all.
“You don't want that dog," the roan
was saying in an even, firm voice, thnt
somehow held a note of bitterness.
“Come here. Floppy-ear.” The dog
came.
“You don't value a gift when you
don’t care anything for the giver."
"I do care for the giver—I—I—
mean, l—i—did—I mean—”
The young man's voice became soft
er, and Mr. Mooney moved a little
nearer. “Just what do you mean,
Jocelyn?”
“I—I mean what I said—Gerald.”
Mr. Mooney was getting nervous.
He didn't like to have folks kissing
right In front of his cabin. It wasn't
respectable. He cleared his throat
as loud as he could, but no one paid
any attention. Then he tried some
thing else.
“Come here. Floppy-ear,” he called.
The dog came.
The man was taking something out
of his pocket. “And you’ll wear my
ring again, Jocelyn?” he was saying,
nnd slimline If snarkllne Id rha aim.

Together they turned and smiled
for a moment at ttie leathery-hrown
old man who was staring at them
from the yard. Together they called
“Come here. Floppy-ear!" The dog
went.
Mr. Mooney stood In the door of
his cahin and watched them walk,
close, down across the stony field, the
dog running Joyfully at their heels.
He looked down at the two ten dollar
hills, one In each hand.
“Doggone!" said Mr. Mooney.
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo is one of the three com
munes (corresponding to United Stales
townships) of the sovereign principal
ity of Monaco. Monaco is situated on
the Mediterranean coast nine miles
from Nice, and is hounded on all sides
by France. It was annexed to France
in 171)3, hut its independence was re
stored in 1S41 hy the treaty of Paris.
It has been under French protection
since 1SG0, after having been occupied
by Sardinia. The tiny principality has
a population of 22,000 and an area of
eight square tidies. Francois Blanc of
liomburg obtained the gambling con
cession in 1SG1, and this passed into
the hands of a company which has the
I concession until 1047.
! ABOUT THE CALENDAR
The true or solar year is the
actual time required for the
earth to make one complete
revolution around the sun.
This time is 365 days, 5 hours,
48 minutes and 46.4 seconds.
It would be very inconvenient
to reckon time in such an odd
year. The calendar is more
convenient. By it the year is
reckoned at 365 days; hence
it loses or falls behind true sol
ar time, 5 hours, 48 minutes
and 46.4 seconds each year.
In four years it i3 23 hours, 15
minutes and 5.6 seconds be
hind. To balance this loss, a
day is added to the calendar
every fourth year, which is
j called leap year, and contains
366 day's, the added day being
the 29th of February.
This addition puts the calen
dar ahead of solar time 44 min
utes, 54.4 seconds every four
years, and in 100 years 18
hours, 42 minutes and 40 sec
onds. Now by omitting leap
year in every hundredth year
! we lose 5 hours, 17 minutes and
20 seconds. In 400 years this
loss is 21 hours, 9 minutes and
20 seconds, and to balance this
Po'ss, every 400th year is made
a leap year.
No century is a leap year un
less a multiple of 400. This
then puts the calendar ahead
| 2 hours, 50 minutes and 40 sec
onds in 400 years; hence to
| balance .this, leap year will be
| omitted in the year 4000.
Calendars repeat, for the
! most part, every six or eleven
! years. The years, excepting
| leap years, begin and end on
i the same day of the week.

Safety Sought
In Gold Ships
When gold is transported by
sea, marine underwriters need
| to consider the character of the
voyage, including its length
and distinctive features, and
the type of vessel by which the
shipments are to be forwarded.
The ideal ship for the purpose
; is the fast mail and passenger
liner fitted with a strong bul
lion room and belonging to a
nationality and ownership
which enjoy the highest rep
utation for safe navigation.
Underwriters are influenced
by such considerations as the
character of the builders and
the classification of the sh'ip
in the first class by a regis
tration society, and also ithe
knowledge that such a liner
may be expected to be fitted
with every efficient naviga
tional device. Briefly they are
entitled to assume that no ex
pense will be spared to bring
such a vessel safely into port
at the end of her voyage.

Four business houses and
