Martin was good and careful shep-
herd, and spite OF his failing, was never
known to neglect the safety OF his
sheep
But on this morning. as he crossed
the moors In the face OF that binding
storm. he recognized the fact that II
would take him all his time to pre-
vent many Of them from perishing In
this storm. The other shepherds were
on. also. In different directions: but
the district under Martins special
charge was the most remote and the
one soonest In danger because Il lay
in a situation that exposed II TO the
inclemency OF the weather.
The snow came down In that fine
powdery impalpable sort OF fashion
which denotes a protracted and heavy
fall; and II was all that Martin could
do 20 keep to the track. Had he not
been the most experienced and wealth.
r-wise OF pedestrians he must have
inevitably been lost at once. The
snow glued his eyelids together, pene-
trated his clothing and froze upon his
face. Even his dog Rover. a collie OF
great sagaclty and experience. re-
qulred some encouragement to Induce
him 20 face the storm. and every now
and again he whlned and drew closer
TO his masters heels. as though pro-
testing against the cruelty OF Nature.
Long before they reached the place
where the last flock OF sheep were
huddled helplessly together. awaiting
in stupid resignation their doom, both
man and dog were about spent.
