Dear Bane Awfords.As we sit at our desk compiling this reply to your kind note this morning, Beepo sits, alive and well, beside us nnd barks his deep regret for hla misbehaviour in your hardware department,

He knows that he is not allowed to enter shops without us but his mother was born in a hardware, department and. Beepo seems to have inherited a passion for such placea. (Haven't you, 'Beepo? You little sweet, tweet, weet!).

We appreciate your courtesy in returning little Beope to the house and enclose herewith a cheque for $10 on account until we have had time to go into the account It in auch a long time since we bought some of the articles mentioned in the bill that we have really forgot ter whether we bought them or had them on approval.
