carry him.
Once boy came into the yard and
tried 10 steal pears. He looked all
about and thought nobody saw him.
Jack saw him. Just as the boy threw a
stick into a tree to bring down Il pear
out jumped Jack.
But Jack did not bite the boy. he
caught him by the coat and held him
fast till his master came.
One day Jack went down street with
Robert. his masters son. The walk
was covered with ice. Robert slipped
and fell. When he tried 10 get up he
could not walk. Some men carried him
across the street To DIR. Bonds.
The doctor said he was not hurt
much. II was only bone that had
slipped out Of place in his ankle.
Jack sat in corner. and his great
wise eyes watched the doctor while he
pulled and rubbed the hurt foot.
Pretty soon Robert could walk as well
as ever
Jack was glad: he wagged his tail
and almost laughed.
Another day Jack was going down
town by himself.
lie had not gone far when he stopped
and held up one foot and cried out with
pain. What could be the mattero He
stood still and howlcd. but nobody came
to help him. What should he do?
At once bright thought came into
Jack head.
'.If the doctor can cure boys foot he
can cure dogs foot. said Jack to him
self: SO he liml.,d off to DIR. Bond Office.
He scratched at the door. and whined
till it was opened.
why. Jack. what do you want?" said
DR.. Bond.
Then Jack held up his foot.
The doctor looked at it and saw
piece of broken glass in it.
Poor Jack" said kind DIR. Bond.

what can be done
Jack held very still while the doctor
took the glass ont and tied up his foot
in soft rag wet with arnica.
Good Jack. said DR.. Bond: You are
all right now: 60 home"
So Jack thanked the doctor as well as
he could with eyes and tail. and went
off home happy dog. even if he did go
