THE STORY OF RIN-TIN-TIN present Rin-Tin-Tin to him. Not only Rin-TinTin, but his sister Nanette, of whom mention was made at the beginning of this narrative. Such was the early life of Rin-Tin-Tin. And nothing counted more in his rise to greatness than being turned over to his new master. For Lieutenant Duncan was quick to realize the dog's possibilities; he saw the dog's power, his uncanny ability, his artistry. He admired Nanette too; she was a fine type of police dog, but his enthusiasm and hopes were for her brother. There were many obstacles to overcome before the dogs were permitted to leave France. Ships were crowded, it was hard to make the Transportation Division see why two dogs had to go across. Infinite patience and tact did it — and at last the two dogs were bound Americaward. Arriving on his home shores, Duncan decided to paft with Nanette. The trip across had sickened the dog, and she needed care and attention. Such was the fineness of her breed that he had very little trouble in interesting one of the best known fanciers of police dogs. "And now for you, oh, Rin-Tin-Tin." Already he had visions of the movies, of their possibilities.
