Miss Weston sat looking out the win
dow of the small hotel parlor. her face
full of discomfort. She fingered the
soiled lace curtain unconsciously, and
Just as unconsciously frowned at the
group of schoolgirls standing outside
waiting for the sightseeing automobile.
After a week in jamestown with
them she acknowledged that the quiet
routine of the school year had its COM
pensations. 1t could at least be count
ed to follow It's regular groove. On the
other hand. fifty schoolgirls on sight
seeing expedition, even under the chap
eronage of the music teacher, the pro
fessor OF psychology and two under
teachers, couldn't be counted upon to
do anything except break out In unex-
pected places. They had managed to
get scattered all over jamestown. and
after being safely gathered on the
boat for Washington half of them had
seen fit to get seasick. The other half
had taken advantage of the fact that
the chaperones were busy looking aft
er the ailing and had got acquainted
with everybody on the boat that show
ed the least inclination to talk.
The professor came hurriedly int
the parlor, folding the morning paper.
"We will soon have them where w
can keep an eye on them for at leas
two hours. Miss Weston. Did you eve
see such overlooking youth and haI

companions woebegone countenanc'
"Anything wrong?" he asked quickly.
Nothing. except I'm too-young,
she said despondently.

her quizzically.

A Faithful Dog.

The following story of faithful and
devoted dog will be of interest to many
of our readers:
gentleman bought a collie, which,
when taken home, soon made himself
one of the family, and assumed special
responsibilities in connection with the
youngest child, girl years of age.
1t happened one day in November
that tine father was returning from a
drive, and as he neared the house, he
noticed the dog in pasture which was
separated by stone wall from the
road. From behind this wall the collie
would spring up, bark, and then jump
down again, constantly repeating it,
Leaving his horse and going to the
spot, he found his little girl seated on
stone, with the collie wagging his tan
and keeping guard beside her.
In the light snow their path could be
plainly seen; and, as he traced it back,
he saw where the little girl had walked
several times around an open well IN
the pasture. Very close to the brink
we're the prints Of the baby shoes, but
still closer on the edge Of the well were
the tracks of the collie, who had evident
ly kept between her and the well. We
can imagine the feelings of the father
when he saw the fidelity of this dumb
: creature walking between the child anC
