if he got well. l think he has been
neglected and abused"
Allan and Ruth named the dog
"Spot," and they made him a nice
warm bed in big box, and fed him
all the warm milk and bread and
meat he would eat.
In few days Spot was better and
could walk about little. In a few
more days he was able to walk a
good deal and run little, and before
long he was as we'll and lively as a
dog need be.
Now Spot had little brass label
on his collar with a number on it.
That showed he was licensed and
belonged to some one, and when he
was all we'll Allan's father said it
would not be honest to keep him
without trying to find his owner. So
he wrote an advertisement, and had
it printed in the newspaper.
Allan and Ruth had grown to be
very fond of Spot, he was so playful
and affectionate, and they could not
bear to think of losing him. He
was intelligent, too, and would give
his paw, and sit up, and roll over,
and speak, and lie down, when
they told him to, and if they threw
a ball or stick up into the air, he
would run and find it when it came
down, and bring it to them in his
mouth.
Nearly week passed after the adj
vertisement was put in the paper, and
nobody came to claim Spot, SO that
Allan began to hope he could always
keep him.
But one day some one came. AL
lan's mother had asked Ruth to stay
to dinner, and they were all at the
table when there came knock at the
outside door.
Allan's father went to see who it
was, and then they heard mans
voice asking him if he was the per-
son who had found brown spaniel
numbered APO.
Allan's father said he was, and
then the children heard the two men
go around to the back yard, where
Spot was shut into the shed so that
he might not run away.
Then they heard several short,
quick bark, but whether they were
glad barks or sorry barks they could
not tell.
After a few minutes the voices
passed around to the front of the
house again, and then in few min
utes more Allan's father came in.
Allan and Ruth were crying as
hard as ever they could cry, and AL
lan's mother looked as though she
would like to join them.
"Why-what is the troubled" asked
Allan's father in surprised tone.
"Spot-is g-gone," sobbed Allan
and Ruth together.
Allan's father didn't say anything,
but he went to the door and opened
it, and in came-who do you think 7
Why, Spot himself.
He came rushing in like a small
whirlwind, and jumped up on Allan
and Ruth, and tried to lick their
faces, and dashed from one to the
other with little sharp yelps, and
acted as though he was as glad as a
dog can possibly be.
"Is the man going to come again
and get him." asked Allan anx-
iously.
"No," said his father, "the man has
another dog and doesn't want Spot,
SO bought him, and now he belongs
to you, and nobody can take him
away"
"Oh!" cried Allan and Ruth.
"O-h!" and they pounced on Spot
and Rugged him so hard they almost
choked him.
Cant l let Ruth own half of him 2"
asked Allan. "She hasn't any little
dog at ALL"
"Yes," said his father, smiling,
"half of him shall be Ruth's. And
now each of you make your half lie
down, and then come and finish your
dinner. "-L. Robbins, an The Ec-
onainer.

than ninety thousand dollars.
The owner of it was the man who,
in shabby attire, was trimming his
hedge. ga close, stingy old skinfint,
I'll warrant" some boy is ready to
say.
No, he wasn't. He trimmed his
own hedge for recreation, as he was a
man Of sedentary habits. His shabby
clothes were his working clothes,
while those which he wore on other
occasions were both neat and expen-
sive; indeed, he was very particular
even about what are known as the
minor appointments of dress.
Instead of being stingy, he was ex-
osedingly liberal. He was al Ways
contributing to benevolent enter
prises and helping deserving people,
often when they had not asked his
help.
Just beyond the hedge was pub
lie sidewalk, and two boys stopped
opposite to where he was at work, he
on one side of the hedge, and they on
the other.
"Hallo, Fred That's a very hand
some tennis racquet" one of them
said. "You paid about seven dollars
for it, didn't youa"
'Only six, Charlie" was the reply.
"Your old one is in prime order
yet What will you take for it,"
81 sold it to Willie Robbins for one
dollar and hall" replied Fred.
Well now, that was silly" de.
clared Charlie. "I'd have given you
three dollars for it."
"You are too late" replied Fred.
al have promised it to Willie"
80! you only promised it to him,
eh' And he's simply promised to
pay for it, l suppos.i I'll give you
three dollars cash for it."
Il can't do it, Charlie"
"You can if you want to. A dollar
and half more isn't to be sneezed
at"
"Of course not" admitted Fred (;
and I'd like to have it, only prom
ised the racquet to Willie"
"But you are not bound to keep
= your promise. You are at liberty to
take more for it. Tell him that
offered you another time as much,
and that will settle it,"
"No, Charlie" gravely replied the
other boy; that will not settle it,
neither with Willie nor with me.
cannot disappoint him. A bargain is
a bargain. The racquet is his, even
it hasn't been delivered"
80, let him have it, retorted Char.
lie, angrily. Fred Fenton, / will
not say that you are chump, but
Ill predict that you'll never make a
successful business man. You are
too punctilious."
John Brent overheard the CONVEX
ssation, and he stepped to a gap in the
hedge in order to get look at the
boy who had such high regard for
his word.
"The lad has a good face, and is
made of the right sort of stuff" was
the millionaire's mental comment.
-'He places proper value upon his
integrity, and he will succeed in bust
ness because he is punctilious."
The next day, while he was again
working on his hedge, John Brent
overheard another conversation. Fred
Fenton was again a participant
in it.
Erred, let US go over to the circus
lot" the other boy said. "The men
are putting up the tents for the
afternoon performance"

ceive a medal. For the so mile relay

ceive in addition to the silver medal,

tary's Medal" presented by VIM. Hy
