field and the eve and the other lamb bleating
disconsolately on the other. Burrows went
10 fetch the stray lamb away from the colt
but the latter kept running around 1t in a
circle, keeping Itself between the lamb and
the farmer and trying in every way to pre-
vent his interfering with It,. Burrows finally
secured the lamb and carried IL back to its
mate and mother. The colt followed, whin-
nying and trying TO get the lamb back.

lamb from the others ana drove 1t along ahead
OF him until they were at the other side Of the
field again. The lamb seemed to like its new
companion. and the two frisked and PLAYED,

colt out OF the lot in order TO keep the three
