His Masters He'd.
No one that knew Bombshell ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought.
but occasionally would find q stranger
who was not inclined to believe IL. and
then / would tell him the following
story: My parlor was front casenate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, back casemate. A casemate
may be described as a room in the wall
of fort. generally intended, in war
time, to hold gun or powder, while In
time of peace many Of them, like mine.
are fitted up for use as quarters for OFF,
GERS and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed in the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could. l
had tried to break him of the habit, but
had not been successful
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual, curled up ON my white
counterpane The result was awful. As
much as / hated to do so, felt obliged
to give him thrashing.
never caught him on my bed again.
He would still get on it; but. no mat
ter how quietly came in, ! would al
ways find him ON the floor, though 1
could see from the rumpled condition OF
the bed that he had been ON it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening / went ont, leaving
Bombshell lying by the parlor stove.
Out of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position was
able tn see the whole of both Of my
rooms.
For awhile Bombshell did not move;
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily. walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
ON it. Standing in this position. q
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hash t gone2
He will catch me and then shall get q
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back"
I know that he said this because he
took his paws Off the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened
At last, satisfied that / had really gone.
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it, curled up and went to sleep.
After such clever act thought that
he had earned his sleep, so went away
and left him. Nicholas.
