Under his arm was a loiig box. Bippo leaped up and down and yip- ped welcomes to Uncle Jim. Gertrude ! hugged his hand and begged to see w^hat was in the box. "Now how in the world did you know there was .something for you in ^ that big box?" teased Uncle Jim. ".\11 I right, my dear. Here you are, and I hope you'll like it as well as my last present." He patted Bippo's head merrily. Bippo struck a curious black no.se down into the paper wrapping inside most profitable cow for the practical ! tho box and sniffed his disgust.

Good thjought of Bippo. He grew .lonesomer and lonesomer all by himself. Finally one day when I nhe was away at school, Bippo made I a bad mistake. As he lay on the rug ' in the playroom, he could see Poca- hontas sitting propped up agaiiist the wall where Gertrude had left her. Bippo knew in his faithful littla lieart that before Pocahufltas had coma he had all Gertrude's love and , tUl her company. Bippo cocked his ' shaggy head' on one side and looked at the doll. There was nobody else up- stairs, and Gertrude wouldn't get 1 home for quite a while. All of a sud- ' den Bippo made a rush toward the ' doll, grabbed her dress in his mouth, and ran with her out of the room. He took her intx) the guest room and into the ciwet. Then he dropped her. When Gertrude come home fron\ .=!chool that afternoon, Bippo followed her to the playroom. She hunted all over the room in vain for Pocahont^aa. Mother tried to comfort her.

He lapped her hand with hi.<? pink tongue and poked his nose under her hand. But she was .•w unhappy that she hardly noticed. Poor little Bippo! There didn't seem to be any way to make her lovo him again. He had not often been naughty before, and no one knew that I ho had now. If only she would play with him again.
