The Fidelity
of a Dog
By Cy Warndn

The Baltynes came to Canada with
plenty of money, but, as plenty Is not
enough for the average white man,
Baltyne made more in the lumber
lands and more in the mines of the
far Northwest He was big, whole
some, happy-hearted man, but, as the
years went by and his fortune grew
with the growing country, there would
come to him, in the logging-camp, In
the wide wheat-fields, and in the min
er's cabin, moments of utter loneli-
ness.
Mrs. Baltyne had her moments of
loneliness too. She longed and yearned
for the sound of a babys voice call
ing her mother. She was childless,
and if she had married the comman-
der OF a submarine boat she would
not have been much more alone, for
so vast had her husbands fortune
grown that they could scarcely see
each other over the top of the heap.
At length, when she had sighed
away six or seven summers. God
blessed her and busted her with a
beautiful baby boy. When the boy
was two years old a friend of Bal
tyne's sent pointer pup to play with
him. and as no other heirs came to
them the boy and the pup grew up
together. Young Baltyne was a bright
boy, and he taught the dog more
tricks than most dogs ever learn. In
summer they swan together, and in
winter the dog, harnessed to a little
red sled, gave the boy many a wild
ride over the hard, snow-covered Can
adam highways. Always they played
together and when the boy ate they
ate together for he would have moth
ing that he could not share with the
dog, even to apples and oranges; and

might be, if you gave him something
blocks away, he would carry it ard
lay it at his masters feet.
When he was IL years old the boy
could say truthfully that there had
not been a day in ten years that they
had not seen each other some time
between the rising and setting of the
sun. If the boy travelled by land or
sea, the dog went by the same con-
veyance, and, if the boy could have
his way, in the same carriage, car,
or stateroom. The dogs whole life,
from puphood to old age, had been
spent in the boys company and new
er a cuff or a kick had he received.
Is it any wonder, then, that the dog
loved the lad?
One dayAthe first in all his life
he missed his little master. All day
he hunted. searched. and waited for
him, and all night those watching in
the sick-room could hear him whin.
ing, which is only a dogs way of
weeping, and when they passed out
near the garden porch they could hear
him walking, walking up and down,
precisely as a human being would
walk, and, l make no doubt, he suf-
fered the same. Surely never was
sorrow seen palmer in human eyes
than in the anxious eyes of this de-
voted old dog.
