Katie: Sheep Dog
By EDWIN L. SABIN

MINE thousand feet up on Colorado mesa
~ was where l met Katie the sheep dog.
While l was chatting with her master, and
she peacefully dozed, party of sheep de-
cided that they would start out exploring,
The herder and stood up. Hill" he
shouted. Where you going? You'd better
turn back there!''
The band stopped short and gazed at him.
They plainly hesitated. Then the old eve
which was leading gave defiant shake of her
head, whereupon, followed by the Others, she
impudently moved on.
Katie said the herder softly, do you
see those sheep, and what they're doing? Go
after them, Katie. Turn them back. Show
them what's what
Away sped Katie with all her might, straight
for the Grant band; and in the time that it
takes for the telling she had launched herself
in front of the band. The very sound of her,
crashing through the brush, had made them
stop,-they suspected what was about to hap
pen. Then, at first glimpse of her, in a panic
they wheeled like cavalry squad and rushed
for the main herd. Across their heels darted
Katie. back and forth. One little lamb must
have lost its wits, for it insisted upon running
in the wrong direction Katie made after it.
She tried to turn it right but it was as
obstinate as any pig; until finally, exasperated,
Katie seized it by the nape of the neck and
gave good nip. Then Katie looked back at US.
The herder raised high his right arm, as
signal for her to cease. Then he brought his
arm down and briskly slapped his thigh.
Katie understood.
