"No one's ever seen if. They can't see jt." "Why not?" asked Willy, "Because," said Hanid, who had Just read about all this in a large book; "because it's imaginary" Willy looked surprised, He wasn't quite sure he knew what imaginary meant. "Imaginary oh yes--that's right. I forgot about that," he murmured. "Im. aginary . .. hmm. Why is it im. aginary?" he know. "The Equator," Hanid said, "is like a line that divides the Earth into two parts: the North and the South parts. But it really isn't a line. It isn't anything but moun. tains and ocean and islands ang houses and fields stretching all around the middle of the Barth, People' just imagine it's there. [That's why they say the Equator is just imaginary." Willy looked very disappointed to hear about the Equator being only imaginary. But Knarf saiq he had a good idea. He said that as long as they all wanted to dis. | * cover something, they might just as well discover something im- aginary as anything else, "We can just imagine we're discover. ing it," he said. "How do we do that?" inquired finally wanted to feet away, and looked all around. "There it is!" he suddenly shout- Dig line, like a path!

The visited this secret lair, T got down on my hands and knees and peered into the dark- ness under' the desk. I thought she was asleep at first but then .I saw her head move ever so lit- tle and her tail went thumpety- thump on the polished hardwood floor. T put my hand in and pat- ted her head and gently pulled the curls on her long silky ears, Her tail continued to thump, just little thumps, because she' has only a little short tail. "Well, my little friend," I said to her quietly. "You don't seem to feel any better." She didn't answer me. I knew 1 was bringing in.

"It's easy to see the old war horse isn't very happy about it," laughed Taffee as he stepped backwards, away from her growl- get her to take a little by putting my finger in it and putting tne finger to hey mouth. She would lick the milk off my finger, Just then, who should come bounding into the kitchen like a Whirl wind but Taffee. She was holding a brown paper!bag in her mouth. The end of it was torn and a straggly stick of celery Was dangling out, trailing limply along on the floor. She stopped suddenly when she saw me and dropped the lovely present she be polite for just a minute?" "Why should I be polite?" Pat- sy asked. "Don't see no reasor for being polite--just red tape, and tripe. If you don't feel polite don't be polite--your friends will understand, if they don't, they're not your friends anyway, I'm sick." Here I must let you in on a sec- ret. Of course I wouldn't want Patsy to know I'd told her secre: and above all, that wild Taffee shouldn't know. She'd have told it all over town. She really would' Blackie Davis would have know: in five minutes and Dr. Redbones two minutes later, for Taffee was an incurable gossip. Patsy was going to have pup- pies. They were due to arrive in about a week, but she didn': seem to be well and now that she had admitted she was sick I couldn't take a chance any longer. Five minutes later, we were i the car and on the way to the Vet's, "And where did you come by that prize package?"

I felt her nose to see if it were wet and cool which is usually an indication of a well dog. Her nose was dry and quite warm. "Your nose is very hot" I said to her, as I pulled her gently to- wards me so I could see her in the daylight. "Oh pickled jelly fish!" she said slowly and in her very deep voice. "I know it's hot, it's my nose and why wouldn't it be hot? Its a very hot day. I don't dare go outside I might turn to a walk to the middle of the Earth and imagine we see the Equator." "Doesn't sound hard at all," agreed Willy. "Where do you think the middle of the Earth is?" Neither Knarf nor Hanid could say exactly where they thought the middle of the earth might be.
