It Is almost a disgrace to admit yon can't drive a car In this day and age of the world, but it Is sometimes copduclve to longevity.

Should she neglect--perhaps abandon-- Pedro, or cancel her engagement to the man who had inspired her with love? Her fiance--their engagement was yet a secret--was Henri Adelbert de /Boncourt Henri Adelbert was not /only a count. He had money--or said he had money--and this was part of a combination that, would appeal to the Imagination of almost any spinster In a land where nobility by patent Is but a transient visitor. Henri Adelbert had disliked Pedro as soon as he had made sure of Miss Hendray. Pedro for a period had been excluded at certain hours from Miss Hendray's boudoir, though It almost broke his mistress' heart. She couldn't however, risk losing Henri Adelbert. This morning Pedro had sneaked In, hungry for caresses, as Irene, the maid, was dressing his mistress. Irene was more than maid. She was a confidante. "Ah, Pedro, iny darling I Come here!" Miss Hendray had cried, taking him In her arms with a guilty conscience. And then to Irene, "What shall I do? I simply can't let Pedro mope In the house this beautiful day, and I can't ride with him 1 The count Is coming." Pedro whined. Little did Miss Hendray or Irene think that he could comprehend everything they were saying. "Why not send Pedro out alone?" suggested Irene. "Alone!" gasped Miss Hendray. '1 don't exactly mean alone, ma'am. Why not let Oswald wrap him up well, and Maximilian can drive him in the park untU the count has made his call." Pedro whined again. He mistrusted both Oswald and Maximilian. "Oh, lovely 1 Yes. Why not?" And Miss Hendray called Oswald and rang to the garage for Maximilian. Oswald pinched Pedro as he carried him to the car, but Pedro's whine of pain was taken by his mistress and Irene, who watched from a window, to be an exclamation of pleasure. Pedro was very sensitive, for he had no hair. He listened Intently to Oswald and Maximilian. Like all servants, they were w4se to household affairs, and they thought Pedro's days of favor were numbered. "D--n this business I" said Oswald, In a low tone to Maximilian, as with a face almost angelic he performed his task. "I should say sol" replied Maximilian. "Here I am an old man--a soldier I have been--you have seen my medals--driving a cur like this!" Maximilian would have laughed aloud, though not In mirth, h,ad he not known Miss Hendray was watching them. So he looked ahead with a straight face, as though he felt honored. In fact, he could have bitten a nail In two. And off they went As they ran Into the park, Pedro fell Into soliloquy: "What a thing Is a woman's affection! I had a little mistress I loved in Mexico. I was but ft perrlto then. She fondled me and I kissed her. And she gave me carne--tnuch carne! Tet when this great lady came along and fell in love with me, my little mistress, let me go I Ha! See that dog In the road--a common dog, with plenty of hair. He needs no bundling up! And I'm sure he Is happier than I am. I shall ask him where he is gong. G-rr uff! Uff! Uff!* "Shut up!" cried Maximilian, turning and cuffing Pedro. "And get down there! Lie down, I say!" Maximilian seized Pedro by the ears and threw him to the bottom of the car, out of sight. "Carramba!" snapped Pedro, biting at Maximilian's hand. ••You'd bite me, eh?" said Maximilian, cuffing Pedro again. "Lie down, I say!" And at last Pedro was discreet, though he whined with pain. Maximilian was more pleased, as he seemed to be driving an empty car. "Truly," continued. Pedro to himself, "that vagrant dog is happier than I am. Yet my mistress has been kind to me. She seemed to adore me until this strange man won her affection. Rare food have I had from her! She even divided her own dlahes with me! Yet what does that signify? This strange man she Is in love with hates me. He will kill me or hire Oswald to make way with me. I think Maximilian would run Into a ditch with me now if he thought he could es cape injury. Alas! I wish I were back in my beloved Chihuahua!" As Pedro was driven home--Maximilian carefully placing him on the seat before they arrived--Miss Hendray was watting outside, great ly excited. "Forgive me, my darling!" she cried, taking Pedro In her arms "I shall never neglect you--never desert you!" And as she kissed Pedro, he felt her tears on his face. In a few moments the world travels far and human as well as canine fate is determined. The count had not called. A note from him expressed regret. It also carried the news that be had secretly married a younger and a richer woman.
