Margaret j. Preston in The Youths Companion.
On the morning of which | speak, the
whole csyslcade, hunters, horses, baggage
wagons, servants and many packs OF
hounds, were gathered together in our
stsble-yard, awaiting the signal for start
ing. Horns were sounding, dogs were
bayiug, guns were gathering, eager hunters
were LAUGHING and talking, and q general
excitement was over all the establishment
Fritz's spirits were extremely high. He
sprang up q dozen times and kissed his
masters riding horse, brought his master
bis whip and boots, and seemed fairly be.
side himself with JOY. But Fritz was not
to be of the hunting party. On the noun
tains he was out of his element, and only
marred the sport; so he was to be left
at home. But his master could not
bear to tell him this, and determined
not to start with the party, but make a
detour and slip away unperceiyed. Con
sequently he had his horse led round to
the front gate Of the house, intending to
mount there, but Fritz WAS so alert and
vigilsnt that it was impossible to elude his
watchfulness. So his master took him
aside, and said in a low but impressive
tone of voice Fritz. you are not to go
with me" If the dog had been shot, |
think he could scarcely have fallen to the
ground more suddenly, as if deprived of
life. 1t was at the end Of long hall, that
commanded the front door and front gate,
where the dog had dropped. His master
pstted him afectionstely, passed on and
mounted his horse, but Fritz no more
moved than if he were dead. His master
called to him Good by, Fritz" but he
lay motionless. The household gathered
about him, and tried to comfort him.
Look up, FRITZ" l said. See, your
master is speaking to you, but he buried
his face between his paws and seemed not
to hear.
When some said Papa is gone" low
moan burst from the dog, and this finally
became q sobbing c-y which did not
cease until after midday. 1t was one of
the most piteous sounds ever heard. We
soothed and csressed him, and brought
him delicaGies which we knew he liked,
but he was dead to our comfortings and re-
fused all food, until, as night drew on, we
began TO grow little superstitious lest the
dogs grief should pressge some harm to
the master The next day, however, he
grew more reconciled, but only recovered
bis spirits upon the return OF his master,
whom he was ready to devour with JOY.
