would have taken good many smart men
and boys to have kept the flock in as good

his skill that he made up his mind to keep
the dog. He was to leave the country
soon, so he shut him up and tried to win
his heart away from his old master. But
his, advances met with no response. He
ate the nice food given him like a sensible
dog, but he watched his chances of escape
as keenly as if he had been prisoner of
war at Richmond But for days he was
unsuccessful. AT last, : however, a chance
