ordinary commands of "Whoa, haw?' ana
"Whoa geei" He would close meekly
his .snnerb ewes when suffering from the
imnatient blows of his driver, and when
released from work and filled with food he
had certain contemplative look, as II tax
ing his laborious life in sensible, phllo-
sophical way. His owner was therefore
astonished to find Old Buck guarding a
breach in the corn-feld fence He watched
him for while in perfect amazement. The
cattle had not only broken through the
fence, but the tracks in the soft earth
showed that they had been driven out
again Before this opening the faithful
old Nestor of the farm walked to and fro
like sentinel, lowering his long sharp
horns in preparation to charge whenever
the hungry cattle made move toward the
tempting cora. BY what instructive pro-
cess did the old OK come to the quick con,
