BEDTIME STORIES Little Dog Finds a Home. How things may end we ne'er can tell; peginning rne et well The noor beginning b ser the Honnd, “well, well, well'" eseclaimed Farmer as he came out of 1 Long Lane into the farmyard and saw Bowser the Hound looking down at a atrange little dog. “‘Now, where did you come from, little fellow? What is the * matter with you? Has something made you sick?"” He went over to the little dog and patted him gently. The little dog looked *“WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE HE HAS COME FROM?” SAID SHE. no ai him gratefully and licked his | hand. ‘You must_have lost, your collar,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “You must have run away and are lost. Well, you came to the right place. Yes, sir, you came to the right place.” ‘The little dog feebly thumped the ground with his tail. It was a stub tail, for the little dog was a wire-haired fox terrier. Farmer Brown's Boy went into the house and brought out a pan of water. The little dog drank grate- fully. The water made him feel better. Just then Old Mr. Toad hopped out from the flower bed. The little dog backed off and growled. Farmer Brown's A BY THORNTON F'. BURGESS Boy noticed it and began to laugh. “So that is what is the matter with you, is it?” said he. “Yon got a little rough with Old Mr. Toad and he taught vou a lesson. Well, T guess vou'll leave toads | alone hereafter.™ | Of course, the little dog didn't. un- derstand what Farmer Brown’s Boy was saying, but he knew that he was being | talked to and that was quite enough. | Already he had made up his mind that. | he would have Farmer Brown's Boy for | a master, too, He had made up his mind that he would no longer go rcam- ing about and running away. When Farmer Brown's Boy stlrl.zd’ | for the house and whistled for the lit- tle dog, the latter promptly bounded after him. He was feeling so much bet- ter now that he could gambol a little in a feeble sort of way. Farmer Brown's Boy took him into the house and there Mother Brown made much of him. “Where do you suppose he has come from?” said she. Farmer Brown's Boy shook his head. “I haven't the slightest idea,” he re- plied. “I don't know of any one in the neighborhood who owns a dog like this. I guess we shall have to keep him until some one comes to claim him. Probably somebody will appear sooner or later.” Now, if the little dog had understood what Farmer Brown's Boy was saying, and he could have replied. he would have only too eagerly told Farmer Brown's Boy that he didn't want to go back where he came from;: that he hadn’t been happy there, but that now he was happy and wanted to stay. As a matter of fact, he had fully made up his mind that he was going to stav. He had made up his mind that he wouldn’t go no matter what happened He intended to adopt Farmer Brown's family. whether or not the family adopted him, So it was that the little dog found a new home and a very happy home. It seemed as if he would turn himself inside out with joy every time he saw Farmer Brown’s Boy. Bowser the Hound would have been quite excusable if he had grown jealous, but Bowser has too much sense to do anything like that. In fact, he was glad to have the little dog about. You see, Bowser wasn't so clldz lhut that he liked to play. once in a while. (Coprright, 1929.) The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle . Unweave. . Toward shelter. . Extent. .
