Dear Children-I felt very proud that two
of my little folks took the prize for the
picture story, but was only sorry all could
not get a prize, for there were many very
good stories. Those who were not
cessful must not be discouraged, but think
that every effort helps them to success
next time. | received one story too late for
the contest or l think it would have been
a hard matter for the judges to decide.
1t is such a good one that l wish to publish
it for you all to read and to say to the
little writer that ! think her story might
have won a prize had it been sent in sooner
but the contest was over before it arrived

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.

"Mary! Ponto killed the lamb last night"
said MIR. Howard to his wife bright
spring morning.
Not the last one?" enquired his wife in
dismay, looking up from the lunch she
was packing in a tin pail for Bob and
Dolly.
Yes, the last one" responded her hus-
band, and l can't stand it. 1 am going
to hang him today
"Are you sure Ponto did it?" asked Mrs.
Howard.
Yes, sure" he responded.
perhaps Mr.. Jacllson's dog did it. Ponto
has been with us so long and taken care of
the children and everything so well l
shouldn't like for him to be killed-Bob
Dolly, the dinner is ready. You had better
start. Ponto may go with them today
mayn't he?" she asked.
"Oh, yes" responded her husband. Il
will want him in the evening though" and
he turned away as two hright-faced chill
dren came up, a sturdy-looking boy of
eight and a pretty little girl of five, both
- hooks and states under their arms.
r'~f en- E?odby Mrs, Howard
nto frsts carrying
s. a, then Dolly.
,Vely morning, about the mid
,laaasiE The sun was shining and the
.drds singing sweety. Mrs. Howard re-
entered the house with a sigh, thinking Of
the fate of the old dog who had been
with them long.
The children meanwhile walked on, chat
ting happily of their little affairs, while
Ponto walked sedately in front.
When they reached the wood where the
brook. the ripping water, the green
grass and ferns appealed TO the children's
sense OF the beautiful, they walked
slowly over the little bridge, looking down
at the water little knowing of the dreadful
peril they We're in, for overhead there
crOUched ready to spring a large catamount
II was lying on the lowest branch of tree
that grew by the bridge. Bob passed, then
came Dolly, and the animal sprang. Poor
little Dolly! Was her innocent little life to
be crushed out in the bud? No! The faith
fui dog mad seen the danger, and when
the beast landed a. few inches from Dolly
Ponto was on him and biting and scratch
ing almost as fercely the catamount
itself
The children did not wait to see the end
of the battle, but hurried 10 school, and,
though they told their story, it was at
tributed to mere childish fright and the
day passed as usual.
After school Bob and Dolly set out for
home. When they reached the bridge they
broke into eNcamations of joy, for there
lay the catamount dead, but soon their
JOY was turned into grief, for a few
steps off lay PonJo dead. Bob stuck his
fists in his eyes and Dolly sobbed, but
they could do nothing so they sadly con-
tinued their journey.
When they reached home their father
met them with cord in his hand
where's POnto?" he questioned.
You don't need that rope" said Bob
sadly. "Dcn't need that" echoed Dolly.
They told their story and Ponto's body
was deccntly buried and the children went
TO bed.
"Wifs," said Mr.. Howard at breakfast
next morning. ''it was Jackson's dog that
killed the lamb. l saw him last night"
So after his death, Ponto was cleared.
