III His name was Pom
to.
ronto was enam-
ored of a certain
wooden ball about tic size of bill
lard ball. In a moment OF weakness
/ had purchased THIS one day and
brought 1t home. Ponto Immediately
seized it, rolled 1t toward me, and said:
Throw that over there in the rose
bushes. I will find it, You see II
don't" So said, so done. The ball was
thrown and Ponto found 1t. But he be-
came rather irksome with his desire to
retrieve the ball, because his favorite
remark to me became: play ball." He
had fashion of coming into my study
with a brisk air, wagging his tail, with
the ball held in his mouth. Then, plac-
ing his forepaws upon the table, he
would put the precious ball in the mid
die of the papers, letters and books, and
say: There is my ball. Now toss 1t
out of the window, and I will go and
get it. That will DE very much more
amusing than wasting your time on
all these stupid papers and books l
would frequently fe1gn to hurl the ball
from the window, and like fash Ponto
would disappear. 4 few minutes would
pass before Ponto would reappear with
his forepaws at the window and re-
mark: Say you, you man with the
papers, don't find anything here. The
ball isn't in the garden. You must have
kept it," Then he would come in at
the door,, so smiling around under the
furniture and In the partly opened desk
drawers, and then, with TIE air OF
man who smites his forehead and dis
covers something, he would look in
quiringly at you and say: II will wager
that it is on the table He was right.
With his intelligent eye he had fol-
lowed your glance. IF you attempted
then to conceal the ball there was an
end to work. He burst into eXtrava-
CANT gayety, jumped after the ball, fol-
lowed your least movements, and would
not quit you, laughing theoretically
with his tail.
Ponto made me sometimes think that
he was one of those men turned into
dogs of whom. we read in the fairy stor-
les. His eye was deep, tender and hu-
man, and at times it seemed to say:
