Frisky sat on the mat in the back porch and watched Laurie take off his overshoes betore he walked into the warm kitchen. His bright eyes watched every movi, but he was a good little dog, and did IS he was told. He curled up on the mat. put his nose on his paws. and went to sleep.

He could hear Laurie talking to his mother in the kitchen. Lauriv was laughing at the fun thry had outdoors.

Blacky the Crow was an unwill- ing prisoner in his own bedroom. Oi course. that bedroom wasn't a real room. It didn't have walls like a room. But. in it he was almost as safety hidden as if he had real nails all around him. That bed-

room was his favorite perch be-

It wasn't too long before he heard Mrs. Page take down the tub. and pour water into it. "Frisky, here Frisky," she called. "Where are you? Come for your bath."

Laurie ran out, and br-gan hunt- ing. Under the chair, behind the big big wood box, he looked. Then Frisky heard him stepping near to the potatoes, "Here he is'." Laurie shrieknd with Laughter "he's hiding so he won't got a bath."

Frisky lmew it was no use wait- lng so he crawled out. and walked slowly over to the tub. Mrs. Page lifted him in and Laurie started to rub him all over with soap. Scrub, rub, rub. The suds were thick on his fur. Mrs. Page lltrubbed with the little brush. .Frisky really felt. good when he 'was clean. but he just hated get-

stili till they finished.

"There! youlre clean now." said Mrs Pogo, and Frisky leaped out. Hi: stopped, and gave himself is big shake,

"Oh, Frisky, stop," Laurie

too. Stop, Frisky!”

By then Mrs. Page, still laugh- ing at the funny look of Laurie nil splashed with water, took the old towel and rubbed Frisky till he was dry. Then Laurie took Hm into the kitchen by the stove to get really dry and warm. Then Mother brushed the little dog's fur tiii it was shiny.

Frisky looked up, his tongue hanging out in s big grin. He felt so good and so clean now.

Laurie hugged him. "You're is smart, smart dog. Frisky. See how pretty you are. Pretty. prellv 1'-lrisky, You look just like a pic- ture after your bath.

But you didn't need to splash v.ater all over me. I guess you thought I needed A bwih ion h-- criuse I was out in the dirty snow. Funny Frisky."

Frisky thumped his tail on the flonr, and gave Laurie a quick lick with his warm wet tongue. It was

his way of saying. "Whatever your vMrs. Grouse, fiyl" but wisely he i

do is all right with me."
