ESKIMO RAY.
The Sad Fate That Befell the Boy, His Dog
and an Odd House.


Ray had { zen seen the pictures of
the hoses of the Esllimos, and thought
snow-houses must be very nice indeed,
so nice that he decided to make one for
himself

but just to rest in when I'm tired of
playing" he said.
He began with small ball. and
rolled it over and over through the
damp snow until it was almost as high
as his head.
And papa helped push it along, until
he could stand on his tiptoes and not see
over the top of it.
Then he began work in earnest with
his bright new shovel, and before night
the huge SNOWFALL was followed out
and changed into the cunningest snow
hut you ever saw, with United States
flag stuck into the top of it,

Eskimo at last.
Suddenly there was d rumble, a
crashing, a smothered scream and faint
yelp.
Mamma ran to the window, and be-
held scene of utter ruin An ava
lanche of snow from the roof had buried
the beautiful snow hut, Eskimo Ray and
dog Snyder from view!
Snyder scratched his way out, and ran
for the barn, barking loudly, and as
frightened as small dog could be.
Mamma took the bright new shovel
from the snow bank near by, and began
to dig for Eskimo Ray. Soon a very
astonished and woebegone little face
popped up. Are you hurt, darling?"
