1t was while a large party of us

house-that the boy picked him up
a little, sad-faced, lop-sided, mongrel
puppy.
The old sheep-dog, who had long
lost all recollection OF his own child
hood, treated him with that arrogant
contempt with which Age, that may
be said to have learnt words of one
syllable, habitually regards poor
Youth, still struggling with the alpha
bet, and in consequence the unfor-
tunate Juvenile was forced to seek
amusement in the society of litter of
small pigs. Whenever you crossed
the farmyard you we're sure to catch
sight of him trottlng about with his
miniature herd of baby swine, his de.
jected look. and ragged puppy coat,
making him the very personification of
poor little four-footed prodlgal.
Whether, under the circumstances,
II would have been fair to have
blamed the pup for his choice OF
friends, or to have judged him by the
company he kept, are questions which
the reader can decide, but | know at
the time he certainly seemed to me to
be, from an intellectual standpoint.
hardly at all superior to his compan-
ions.
When you called him he promptly
ran away, and IL you pursued he would
lie down and grovel on his back in the
mud. and as often as you set him on
his feet he instantly fell down again.
What little mind he had appeared to
be attracted towards medical research
and (having no one else to practice
on) he freely administered to himself
regard of personal risk which charac-
terizes a true martyr Of science.
A penchant for prescribing for his
own real or fancied ailments seemed
indeed to attend him all through life.
and even now, though well advanced
in years, 1t Is hardly possible to take
him for run round the garden with
out being startled by his suddenly
commencing to cough and choke in an
alarmingly noisy. manner over some
particularly long blade Of grass which
he has rashly undertaken to swallow.
The boy, however. with the same
youthful confidence which caused him
TO believe that the vile little imitation
meerschaum that he smoked clandes-
timely behind the hay-rack would some
day color" averred that the pup had
a future before him, and, when full
grown, would be in some way or other
remarkable animal. So firmly did

Precoclty Of the Modern Child.

There is no doubt that the thought

much-punished child of the past. says

time the witty child does add to the
gayety of life.. besides enforcing
higher standard of conversation among
her reproving elders. 1t was mis-
take, for instance. on the part of the
reproving elder to tell one of these
wits of the nursery that II she was 80

parently lost In deep reverie, and
wearing~on his head an absurd model
OF top-hat. On hearing my footsteps
he rose and shambled across the grass
to meet me. his hat (which was Sc
cured with an elastic band) cooked
knowingly over one eye.
why, you remember him!" cried
the boy. This is the dog bought at
the farm. We call him Marcus Au-
relius because he's always meditating.
He's awfully clever; I've taught him
heaps Of tricks"
The animal sauntered up and wiped
his paws on my trousers by way Of a
greeting.
Hello Marc!" said his master. "Sit
up!"
The dog promptly Topped down full
length on the grass.
II didn't tell you to die" cried the
boy. "Sit up you little blackguard!"
Marc, with his top-hat hanging un-
der his chin like nose-bag, rolled
over and entertained US by dying"
on his back.
That's just like him." said the boy;
its the easiest trick he's got; and
whenever l tell him to do anything
else he always will die;' he won't sit
up or run round after his tail"
Marc having died" for what he
considered reasonable length of
time, now rose to his feet and saun.

time wearing his top-hat on the back
OF his neck, as though II was a sol.

What's he got that on for"
why. | want him to get accus-
toned to 1t, because I'm going to teach
him to wear 1t when he goes out into
the street"
What can he do besides die?"
We'll" answered the boy. Il think
he'd make a good sporting dog be
cause he's always digging holes in the
garden, and think he's kill rats If he
had the chance. / tried him once with
mouse that I caught in the stable:
let 1t loose on the kitchen floor, and
somehow Marc lost It, and 1t ran away
somewhere, and we couldn't find It.
and mother made an awful fuss. She
doesn't like Marc, I'm sure she doesn't,
and he isn't allowed even to lie In
front OF the dining room fire, but al
ways has to go into basket. Women
never value good dog; they don't
know one when they see him. Do they,
Marc?"
The dog-who appeared now to
have finally determined to carry his
top-hat as a chest protector-on hear
ing his name called, awoke with
start from his reverie, and after a mo-
ment's hesitation, as though he forgot
exactly how the trick began. turned
slowly over and died"
Many years have slipped away
since first saw Marcus Aurelius medi-
tating on the sun-lit lawn, and though
be quite gray-haired old man. No
top.hat appears rakishly perched upon
his shapeless head, and he stretches
himself with perfect confidence upon
the sacred hearthrug and suffers no
rebuke.

tremble in her voice, where's your
masterY
The dog wags his stumpy tail, but
it is a heartless proceeding. and he
does not even raise his head. Per.
haps he knows as well as we do that
wide seas roll between himself and
Australia. and long before the boy will
ever think of crossing them again
Marcus Aurelius will have performed
his old trick in sober earnest and
shambled off down that dusty pathway
trodden years ago by the family of
juvenile porkers, the old sheepdog
and all the other friends of his youth

tor ordered his man to stop.
'Excuse-me minute" he said. "and
I'll run up and see how the old chan
is"
May / come too, Doctor-just to
the door,"
Come II you WISH" he said.
The doctor found Jermayne awake.
and his first question was:
did you tell herr"
Yes; In fact, I'm driving her home. +"
At this moment the housekeeper ad.
dressed the doctor, and 1t happened
that for few minutes Amy was left
forgotten outside the open door.
Jermayne moved restlessly, and she
heard her own name. How weak his
voice was! Mental shock. What did
that mean? Oh, II he were to be very
ill-to die! The girls mind was a
chaos of love and fear. She did not
stop to consider what she was doing
In moment she was kneeling beside
the couch.
"Oh, Tom are you very, very III?
What has happened to your" and she
took his hand in hers. but he kept his
face resolutely turned from her; he
dared not look at her. The one thing
which he had desired-the power to
see her as she truly vast was his,
yet he dared not use II.
She placed her hands on his face
and gently, ever so gently, drew it
round toward her, and he was com.
PEELED to look at her He saw what
truly transformed him-that for her
there was but one man in the world
and that one himself.
The little mandarin continues to
nod, but under glass case. He is
promoted, and Jermayne always treats
him with particular respect.
