November 28, 1934 LA TORRE Page 5 LOBO Stn Uf Battle,9 n.A- tContinued From Last Issuel Of course if you are a friend, I Will direct you! said Dempsey, You go one mile down this path, and turn to your left. At the forks, about so far down, youlll find the house. ttAh! Thank you, smiled Pierre and the two strangers walked away. Back at the kennels Lobo heard a sound that he could not place. The scurff on the back of his neck was standing straight up like bristles. Lo- bo bared his teeth, and stood waiting. He could hear two men talking about him, and he emitted a deep warning growl. He grew rigid and tense with waiting. The gate of the kennel yards was being pried open. With a mighty rush all of Lobols tense muscles loosened, and he sprang onto 'the men. One of the men screamed in mortal terror, and as he did so the other man picked up a club and came to his aid. Slowly Lobo was getting beaten back and down, but he had the taste of hot blood in his mouth and battled wildly. Commotion broke out in the house. Sitting up in bed, Johnny yelled to his father in the next room. iiDad! Did you hear that ? i Getting no response he jumped out of bed and to the window. There he saw his father racing towards the kennels. Johnny, following, heard a shot and saw a figure slump forward ahead of him. At the same instant, Johnny caught sight of two iigures slinking into the shadowsecarry a heavy burden between them. Johnny on perceiving this, ran wild- ly to the kennels. Then he stumbled over something. He stooped to see what it was. His face went ghastly white, his hands trembling, he whis- pered, Dad! Speak to me! All was quiet. Then he yelled madly, Dad! But only silence answered him. Slowly he moved away from the hgure of his father. Sobbing, he called to Lobo. As his voice broke the still- nesg, a mocking echo came back to him. He whispered slowly, iiBy ---- Illl get those ---- fiends W110 killed my father, and when I do! He clenched his fists until his knuckles shone white. Then he walked slowly toward the house. The next morning all Platte county was aroused bv the brutal murder of Mr. Lamont and the disappearance of the pup, Lobo. The Northwest Mount- ed Police were called. The Royal Northwest Mounted Commissioner slowlv paced the floor: then suedenlv he burst out with--- itBut have vo'i no description of these men, M1 - Dempsey? Surely if they stOpped and talked to you, you should be able to tell more .of them. HI have told you all I know? smiui the kennel keeper. One of the men was tall and thin with a black must ache, and wore a low hat over his headkshading the greater part of his face. The other one kept in the shad- ows of the porch. HAnd the dog? asked the Commis- sioner. What about him? tiAh! That dog? exclaimed Demp- sey softly. You will know him any-- where, There is a white slash across hi: Chest. The rest of him is silvcrfl HI doubt if welll ever see the dog egain. mused the omcer. tTve looked up his record. He's part wolf, 'you know. itI didn't know that, said the old kennel keeper, Hbut I know one thing. There's one boy here who can get ch0 back. I know dogs, and I know a one man dog when I see him. Lobols that kind of dog, and Johnny can get him bark, even if he is wild! iiAnd I'm going, too! said Johnny. iiNo, Johnny, I'm afraid you can't come along. said 'the oHicer. itYou are too young. Stay here and take care of the kennels, Johnny boy. UWith Lobo gone? asked Johnny sadly. iiI undersand your feelings, Johns ny, said the commissioner. NSome- day perhapsiP HI shall start training now, said .Tolmnv solemnly. tito he a Royal Northwest Mounted Policeman An'i someday--Iim going to fulfill my vow!n II THE DOGii LOBO Six months had passed since that eventful night in the Kennels and all the while Lobo had been in the power of two criminalswPierre, and Max. He had had no chance for escane in all that time. For many months he had expected Johnnv to come to his rescue, but he waited in vain. He was constantly muzzled, an'i bruised from beatings given to him by Max, the heavy-set, brutal half- breed, There was a growing, bitter hatred inside Lobo toward all main- kind. All of Lobo's romping puppy days were forgotten. The days when he was free in the kennels and had had many puppy playmates, the warm glorious sunshineiall was for- .ccotten. Only hatred filled his mind: hatred for all living things. Toward evening Max entered Lobois oen, kicking him saveagely; nor did Lobo cower in the corner. He sat faring him. his eves gleaming like halls of fire. He growled deep in his throat and Max yelled. tContinued in Next Issuel Classes See Citzens Voting wee Mr. Dail's and Mr. Earpsi seventh and eighth period classes had a pro titable, enjoyable time Tuesday, IwovA ember 6.

Page 4 LA TORRE November 28, 1934 Pupils Enthused About Hobbies M0; Miniature Animals MMQM My hobby is collecting miniature cats and dogs. I try to make my col- lection different by putting in unus- ual things that nobody else seems to have. In my cat collection I have a trio. In the trio there is a saxophone play- er, a banjo player, and a drummer. I have two other cats that are singing while one of them is playing a flute. I have glass and glass-blown cats. Some of my animals are of wood and some of china. I got most of my glass cats from Chinatown in San Francis- co. i In my dog collection there is a six piece band, a leader, a banjoist, an obist, an accordion player, a saxa- phoneI player, and a clarinetist. In my collection I have both modernistic and realistic dOgs. I have many different kinds of dog families. One is a big collie and all her little puppies playingr around her; another is a Scottie fam- ily. I want to keep on with my hobby because it fascinates me, g-Kathl'yn Jenkins 713.103 , dwagogg.

My hobby is chemistry. About four years ago my brother had a small chemistry set which he gave to me. I tried quite a few experiments with it. He saw how I liked it and the next Christmas he bought me a larger set; By then I had plenty of chemicals but not enough testetubes. About two years later I traded a moving picture machine for a larger chemical set and sixty cents. With the chemicals I made inks and gases.
