kindness and attention bestowed upon
him than many children enjoy. His
friends are legion. and no wonder. for
he is not only a beauty, but has such
wonderful intelligence and so many
clever tricks. 1t would be difficult to
enumerate all of them. Indeed, his
master has always said that he had
more sense and knew more than a great

One of the wonderful things Matt can

on the front of the bicycle of one OF
his boy friends, taking spin around
