stayed until he got tired OF barking at the dark
ness. for he could not them any more. and
went of. Then they climbed down off the rocks
and ran along in the field beside the road until
they place to crawl through the fence
They crcpt under and followed the road until they
the church spire above the trees shining faint
ly in The dim daylight. Now they knew they were
the right road TO the seaport town. for they
recognized the steeple as one they had when
looking at the town from the bluff
Hurry Day" said Night. for ne must try and
hide ourselves on vessel before they up. or
they won't let get on
Oh I tired I can't run another step"
said Day. DO wait until ! get my breath That
horrid dog frightened I haven't got over it
yet. and when we fell into The water ! thought
was killed and would wake up dead"
Wake W and find yourself dead"' laughed
Night Il guess if yol were dead You would stay
dead, and not wake up
Wei. YOU know what I mean. and can't ex-
plain said Day.
oh! What is that cried Day. as she gave a
bound into the middle of the road. I thought
heard another dog coming But it turned out to
be only old pig they had tumbled that was
asleep near the road.
Soon they reached the outskirts OF the town. and
hurrying down the deserted streets they presently
came the wharf where. to their JOY. lay
three sailing vessels and a couple of steam
eTs waiting be loaded with grain. one of them
looked deserted. not a soul was in sight. but the
gangplank was out; 50 they crossed it fearlessy
sun came up out of the ocean, looking like red
ball
This is much nicer than the sailing vessel don't
you think SOP said Night.
Yes, very much nicer said Day. for up
so much higher from the water; besides. it will go
faster. and I do hope it won't roll about as the
sailing vessel did
Il wonder whore her first stopping place will be?'
asked Night, Il hope it won't be far. for if they
are mean TO us we can get off and not get on
again"
Hush: hear some one coming" and they
forward the very bow and hid behind the anchor
and coil Of rope From their hiding place they
peaked out and round faced. jolly looking
that reminded them Of Santa Claus.
Il guess ne won't he cross" said Night and
if the captain isn't cross himself he won't let the
sailors hurt Us"
The captain and his crew all good 10 them
and were glad To have something to pet and amuse
themselves with during the long days sea. They
taught them many tricks. until they would have
made good circus performers and could rival Billy
himself. They taught Day 10 stand on her hind
legs and dance the sailors hornppe while one OF
Ihe sailors played the pipe She would turn
her head in the most fetching if she en-
5oyed il much they. which she did.
Night was taught 10 jump the highest bar any
goat Of his size was ever known TO jump. and one
day the sailors conceived the idea of teaching him
also 10 dance and having them dance together
They made little boxing gloves for them and tied
them onto their feet and made them stand up and
hox each other. But this Day did not Ike. Night
always got mad and hit her TOO hard.
On cold nights the sailors would take them TO
bed with them in their swinging hammoeks, and
altogether they were spoiled and petted as no :GO
kids had ever been before.
one day they deck listening to the con-
Versations they heard TO If they could learn
where the Black Hawk uhat was the name OF the
VesseD was bound for, bat said a word
about II, and whether they going north
sauth. east west. they did know, they
could not tell looking at the stars. as people
can.
They were standing by Of the officers when
the captain joined shen and said: DO you see
that black bar across the sun and those clouds
Diling up IN the west? 1 afraid that means bad
weather for before morning" And sure enough
