AVID WINTER was a very
lonely little boy. His mother
was delicate, and her
nerves" permitted no noise,
90 David could have none of his little
friends to come to play with him, and
as mamma required a great deal Of
waiting on he could not stay out 70
play with them.
David's papa was poor, and on nam
mas bad days, which were very nu-
merous, used TO get his own supper
and afterward wash the dishes.
David, perched on a stool, dried them,
and great were the condolences ev-
changed at these times between the
father and little son.
One evening after an account OF the
days doings at school. in all OF which
papa was very much interested, the
subject turned to heaven. Teacher
had told them heaven was a place
where every one was happy and had
what he wanted
when j go to heaven, then, I'll have
q dog and little sister and a banty
hen; that's all | want. oh, yes! And
mamma will be WELL" said David
Papa laughed and said: "Well.
maybe / can have the cat | always
wanted, too; but perhaps, Davie. we
won't have TO wait until we get TO
heaven. When mamma Is stronger
she may let you have n dog. What
Kind Of a dog would you like"

"Oh, he's homely; nobody wants him,
but I'm glad of that. because a dog a
little bit Of awhile Is better than no
dog at all. He was at the gate this
morning, too. call him Sporty"
Next Saturday mamma allowed
David to go out TO play, with strict or
ders to come back In one hour. She
was lying on the lounge when the pa
troll wagon drove up and from II was
taken her little boy, wrapped In blan-
kets. Her nerves and headache were
forgotten. A bed was prepared, and
then a gentleman who accompanied
the policeman told what he could of
the accident.
He was walking along the avenue
when little dog dripping wet and
acting as If In terrible state OF ex-
element, ran to him and then tore

mad and was hurrylng on when back
the little animal came and caught him
by the leg Of his trousers. A police
man came up and was about to shoot
the dog when he looked and said:
He's trying to tell you something.

He led them TO a pond, in which two
children were struggling and almost
exhausted. The policeman plunged
