Of -course that made them twins! One day when they were quite small, Jimmy’s -father brought them home in a big basket. Their backs were turned to -each other. One big, black eye was sticking out over one side of the -basket, and two saucy brown ones over the other side. - -[Illustration] - -“Oh, Daddy!” was all Jimmy could say. - -“What shall we name them?” asked Daddy, after he had laid the doggies on -a pretty green cushion by the fireplace. Jimmy turned his blue eyes _way -up_. He was trying to think. - -[Illustration] - -In the next yard a little girl was blowing bubbles. The bubbles shown -like the puppies’ eyes. “Let’s call the BROWN ONE BUBBLES!” he said -suddenly. “Fine!” answered Daddy. - -[Illustration] - -Then he left his seat in the big arm-chair. The black-eyed puppy had -gotten off his cushion, and was trying to chew Jimmy’s shoe! “Go back to -your cushion!” he commanded, “You’ll make a lot of trouble, I can see!” -“Oh, Daddy!” shouted Jimmy. “Let’s call him TROUBLES!” - -[Illustration] - -One evening Daddy came home with a package. “Is it mine?” asked Jimmy. -“It is for your twins,” said Daddy. - -When Jimmy opened it, two nice, new collars fell out! On one was a -silver plate with TROUBLES. On the other a silver plate with BUBBLES. - -[Illustration] - -Soon the puppies were very well trained. Every morning Jimmy took them -walking. _He_ walked in the middle. _Troubles_ stayed on the outside, -while _Bubbles_ was on the inside. They never got out of line. - -[Illustration] - -But one morning, before Jimmy could turn, they ran wildly across the -street, barking furiously! There on the other side was A BIG BLACK CAT! -Such a noise as they made! “Bow, Wow, Bow, Wow, Bow, Wow! -Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo! Bow-wow!” - -[Illustration] - -Suddenly the big, black cat arched her back and hissed at them! “Meow! -Meow! Meow! Meow! P-f-f-f-f-f-f-f!” - -Jimmy laughed and laughed when the twins ran back pell-mell! He knew -they were afraid. “Fall in line!” he said, sternly. Then they marched on -down the street. - -[Illustration] - -One day Jimmy decided to be a circus man. “I will have trained dogs!” he -said. - -Daddy taught him some tricks. First they got a big barrel-hoop. Troubles -and Bubbles did not want to jump through it at first, but soon they -learned how. Then they thought it heaps of fun. - -[Illustration] - -Soon they could do lots of tricks. They sat up and begged. Bubbles could -not hold his front paws as gracefully as Troubles. - -It was so hard to teach them to walk! Bubbles seemed to be bow-legged, -and Troubles pigeon-toed, but at last they succeeded in taking ten steps -at a time. - -[Illustration] - -And how beautifully they sang after a few lessons! Troubles sang high -and Bubbles sang low. - -But best of all they loved to play dead! They lay so still when Jimmy -covered them with an old shawl, that sometimes it frightened him! - -[Illustration] - -Then Jimmy had a birthday. His father said he might have a circus in the -garage! They trimmed it with flags and bunting, and fixed up some soap -boxes for a stage. Jimmy was so thankful for such a nice father, that he -gave him a BIG HUG! - -[Illustration] - -At last it was time for the circus. All the boys and girls in the -neighborhood came. Jimmy charged a penny admission. He wanted to buy a -gift for the little lame boy who lived in the alley. He let him come in -without paying anything. - -[Illustration] - -When the children were all in the garage Jimmy closed the doors. Then he -went to get the performers. THEY WERE GONE! Jimmy looked and looked but -he could not find them. His father looked and looked, but he could not -find them! His mother looked and looked, but she could not find them! -The children looked and looked but they could not find them! - -[Illustration] - -Jimmy felt like crying, but he didn’t! Instead he gave back a penny to -each girl and boy who had come to the circus. They all went home! Only -the little lame boy from the alley stayed. He and Jimmy sat on the -garage steps with their faces in their hands and their elbows on their -knees. They were thinking. - -[Illustration] - -“Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!—Yip!—Yip!” - -Jimmy looked at the lame boy. The lame boy looked at Jimmy! “Where are -they?” asked Jimmy. “It sounds as if they’re in the garage,” answered -the lame boy. But when they got into the garage it was EMPTY and VERY -QUIET! - -[Illustration] - -Once more they went out and sat on the steps. Soon they heard the crying -noise again. Jimmy called his father. Then they all listened. - -“Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!—Yip!—Yip!” - -[Illustration] - -It came from the corner where the automobile stood. But when they went -in to the car it was EMPTY. Jimmy’s father was as much puzzled as the -boys. Soon they heard it again. “Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!” It was very weak. - -Suddenly Father laughed! Then he lifted up the big front seat! - -[Illustration] - -Huddled in the corner, frightened out of their wits were the puppies! He -lifted them out by the back of their necks and placed them on the hood. -“You scamps!” he said, “You hid in there while I was getting some tools, -and I shut you in because I did not see you!” - -[Illustration] - -Soon the children heard that the circus dogs were found! They came -rushing back with their pennies! In a few minutes the garage was as -noisy as THE BIG TENT! Such clapping! Such shouting! Such barking! - -[Illustration] - -When it was all over the children went home. The little lame boy got his -present. The puppies had a good supper. Then Jimmy took them for a nice -long walk. Across the street was THE BIG BLACK CAT! - -[Illustration] - -But the twins paid no attention to her. They were too happy and full and -sleepy. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -[Illustration] - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -[Illustration] - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MY TWIN PUPPIES *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
