but he did so at last.
As Farmer Belson could not find a reason,

mean as wei, but he did not do as well as
the other. 80 he raised Hartwe's wages,
and made HIM quite his own man in the care
.ot everything on the farm.
OCne winter, Just little before Christmas
holiday ume the farmer was sending to town
great supply OF nat animals-too great, in
ueea 70 DC managed by any one droyer and
MS lau' so KIND OF upper herdsman became
necessary An odd drover in llartwell's
place was hired Tor the journey up and Hart
wen was put over both.
On setting out they logged forward pretty
well Tor half a dozen miles, Clinch and his
new mate swearing roundly now and then,
and their dogs barking and baying at the cat
ue---sometmes for no earthly reason that one
could see, unless Tor the mere love Of bark
ing and baylng. Now and then, too, dog
would give shrewd pinch in the car to some
unlucky sheep which had been going on
quietly enough, but which ON feeling the
pinch, would scamper off every way but the
right one throwing the whole flock into con-
fusion, and bringing about scene of cursing
and shouting, and starting and chasing and

which certainly did no good either to man or
beast.
1t must be known that the dogs which
hartwell kept to help him in guiding the
cattle under his care, had always, at his de-
sire, been left to his own charge In fact,
Clinch had his own dogs, and IIartwell also
his own. Now Hartwel moved on for some
time looking at the doing | have been telling
OF, seeming to take no notice, but all the
while taxing a'great deal. At last he stop
ped, and told the men to halt the cattle.
When this was done he called quietly to
Clinch, and pointing to one Of the sheep,
which had just been dragged by the ear, from
a scamper into which she had been frightened
by savage dog who now held the unhappy
creature, gasping in its lanrs.
Jem,' said Jack llartwell, Z" look at that
sheep "
g. see her" answered Clinch, "aud a
cross-grained brute she is. She's been off
thrice this morning"
| think, - said aartwell " she is not cross
grained. | think she is more frightened and
worried
Frightened stuff" cried Clinch, there
is always something wrong with the brutes.n
The men now drove on again, but the dis
