is dying out on account of the scarcity
of clam shells. The failure of the

opening several hundred clans to find
one pearl. The man who killed the
goose that laid the golden egg has

zone day the children received
present of a little black-and-tan dog
and they were so delighted with their
pet that Tom was left i'll the cold.
When dinner time came lie got up in
his accustomed place beside the baby,
expecting to be fed. But baby would
have nothing but the new pet, and so
the dog occupied the place of honor
and Tom had to be thumped to make
him get down.
1t was an insult that called for
blood, and, watching his opportunity
after dinner, Tom pitched into the dog
and was giving him an awful licking
when the children with shouts and
blows fell OH the cat and beat him
soundly till he fled.
| When the novelty of the new pet be-
gan to wear of, however, us it did a
few days ago, inquiries were made for
Tom again. But no Tom could be
found. Then 1t became known that
nobody had seen him since the chill
dren beat him away from the dog.
Tom was evidently lost Perhaps the
beating had broken some of his bones
and he had crawled away to die.
Great was the wailing, but no cat
could be found. Two or three days
after that 1 passed the Catholic
priests house and there, inside the
sash seated on the window-sill, wash
ing his face in the sunshine. saw the
big yellow and white spots of our
Tom. He had deserted us and gone
over to another faith. l told the chill
dren and they went and got him, but
no coaxing or pettlng could persuade
him to stay in our house an hour after
they let him have his liberty. He
could not forget our desertion of him
in favor of rival, and so he stays
still with the priest, who gives him an
excellent character. We shall never
succeed in making him Protestant
again.
