BROUGHT HIM HOME IN STATE

Ordinary Btreet Car Not Good Enough for Man Who Was Restoring Lost Pet. A man who lives on One Hundred and Sixth street and Riverside drive, New York, recently lost a fox terrier. The animal isn’t much of a dog from the strictly dog point of view—he is decidedly lacking in lineage and class and all that sort of thing. But he’s a nice little plebeian dog, and he is very, popular with the children of the household. So when Tango—that’s his name, and he has it engraved on his collar—got lost recently, the owner advertised a reward of $5. The advertisement said that the, dog, which would be recognized by the collar, was a children’s pet and therefore valued. * Nothing was seen of Tango for a week. Then one night a seedy individual arrived at the apartment with Tango—also most seedy—under his arm. “Here’s your dog,” said he. “I found

him wandering around the ash barrel in Brooklyn about an hour ago." The owner handed the man $5. “Five dollars and forty cents more,” said the seedy one. “What for?” “For the taxi." “Taxi?" What taxi?” “Why, the one I brought the dog home in. I supposed you’d want him brought home the fastest and best way, so I took a taxi.”
