OF COURSE Mr. Russell made a mistake when he got mad and kicked Freckles out of the house on the toe of his boot. According to the best authorities on the subject such display of temper by parents exerted a bad influence. But things had gone wrong at the office that day, and Mr. Russell was in an evil'mood to begin with. Moreover, Teddie, his eleven-year-old son, had disobeyed orders and allowed Freckles, the eight-months-old pup, .the freedom of the living roOm. Freckles had abused his privilege by chewing into sodden mass one of Mr. Russell's slippers. At sight of the slipper Mr. Russell had been seized by a blind rage. He had taken Freckles, by the scruff of his furry neck, opened wide the front door and unceremoniously tossed the yipping pup ouf, into the cold and cruel woirld. Teddie, yowling ail agonized protest, had started to the rescue, only to be seized by the still enraged parent with a, "And now, young man, I'll tend to you!" Whereupon Mr. Russell picked up the slipper that wasn't chewed to a sodden mass and laid Master Ted across his knees. Fortunately for Teddie, Mrs. Russell arrived on the scene at this moment, and he was saved from something that would probably have done him good, despite what authorities on the subject may say. Mr. Russell grudgingly agreed to forget the slipper episode, but in order to impress upon his son the importance of obeying orders, he commanded him to go out and close the garage door and come straight back and neVer mind looking around for the troublesome pup. An hour later Mrs. Russell tucked her son into bed and kissed him. There were tears in the boy's eyes and misery in his face. He was thinking of the bewildered Freckles shut out in the cold. Mrs. Russell, like so many million other mothers, guessed at her son's distress and whispered a word of freassurance. She promised not to retire until Freckles was safely ensconced in his box under the kitchen stove, which rather made the world all "fight for Ted. > But Mrs. Russell'had been a; trifle rash. If she had waited until Freckles was in his box before retiring she would have sat up all night. For Freckles did not answer her whistle. Teddie's mother 'was perturbed, not because Freckles failed to appear, but because of what she would have to tell her offspring the next morning. Although the following day was Sunday, she rose earlv and made a careful search of the grounds for the missing pup. Returning to the house, she wag confronted by an eager and expectant son. Teddie took the news' without speaking. He couldn't speak. There was- a great lump in his throat, a cold fear and dread in his heart. All morning long he searched the neighborhood without* success, and each passing minul/ brought fresh agony and fresh grievance toward h^s father. Freckles disappearance was due to his father's violent tem-: per. It was all his father's fault.. His father was brutal and mean and cruel. He wished--he wished he had a father like Jim Stanton. At noon Teddie returned home.-: Mr. Russell greeted hiiirl indifferently and continued reading his Sunday paper. Obviously Mr. Russell^ had forgotten the incident. of the preceding evening, a fact that was - disconcerting. Would it be wise to enlist his father's aid in searching^ for Freckles, risking the older, man's temper, or would silence be. , the proper course? At a look from his mother, Teddy decided in favor of silence. - After dinner Teddie began anew his search, and Mrs. Russell joined him. They hunted till dark, but nog Freckles was found. Teddie felt that!; the world was suddenly a dreadful place in which to live. He was un-t', happy and miserable and forlorn. He ha&d his father, and he told his; mother so. It was all his father's), fault. Freckles was the only thing - in the world he really cared for. Teddie cried himself to sleep that night. He woke to a bright and sunshiny day and immediately thoughtof Freckles, and rushed to the win* dow in the hope that by some miiS acle the pup might have returned .- He didn't see the fluffy little canine gamboling around on the lawn as,', was his habit, but what he did sea was Mr. Russell striding up the walk from the garage with a bundle of fur in his arms and a queer expression on his face. Teddie reached the kitchen justas Mr. Russell came through the rear door. With a cry of joy the youngster rushed up and . relieved, his father of his burden. Frecklegr emitted a weak little cry of happiness and protruded a pink tongue toward Teddie's nose. Teddie and his father looked at each other. Mr. Russell said: "He must have hidden in the garage thej' other night and you locked him ini Ted." V Ted swallowed. His father was grinning and blinking and there was an understanding and apologetic look in his eyes. Jinks! Teddie thought. Holy smoke!
