question startled Thoughtless Boy for he
had never before heard a dog talk. And
more than that. he had never heard that
dog could talk. SO he sat mp on the
side of the bed-he had lain down while
talking to Wise Dog-and looked with
both eyes wide at the four-footed old

Boy. And he leaped from the bed with
alacrity, and the moment his feet struck
he possessed four feet instead of two,
and felt bushy tail wagging at the end
of his long body. Then he tried to speak,
but he found he could not do so. Then
a strange noise came from his throat.
and he heard himself barking. For mo-
ment Thoughtess Boy felt certain joy

his old chum. Wise Dog, in the form of

a few seconds. for the door opened and in
came his own dear mother.
At the instant of her appearance
Thoughtless Boy ran under the bed for
he feared she might recognize him in

having willingly changed places with Il

But Thoughtless Boy remained close in
a corner under the bed. his heart beat
ing violently. He did not know what he
feared but strange feeling of awe over
powered him. 1t was no easy thing to
become a dog so suddenly, and Thought
less Boy was suffering from the change.
"Oh, let Wise Dog stay. dearie. said
Thoughtless Boys mother. speaking to
Wise Dog, Of course, for she did not sus-
pect the change of identity of the two;
Come. run down to your breakfast"
And then the door opened and closed
and Thoughtless Boy. walking on four
legs. was in the room alone. Oh. misery
of misery. Why had he done this thing?
He began to realize to small degree
his now sad lot a dog. Yes. mere
dog unable to speak or walk upright.
He must go about on all tours and with
out clothing. for the fur on his back
would suffice him for warmth and COW

Then the door opened again and in
came May, the housemaid. On seeing

his four legs could carry him. DoS2 the

to get away from May. the ugly tempered

Boy had found May very kind and oblig-

1t meant to be a dog.
AS he reached the bottom of the stairs
he saw his own father coming from the
dining room into the hall, and he instinct
lively drew back, hoping to avoid being
seen. But the fathers eyes had caught

old couple took them and examined them.
AS the old man pulled on one of the
stockings he cried out with sudden pain
in his ankle. declaring he could not stand
upon his foot. He then drew on the
other stocking. and a like pain in the
other foot caused him to double up in
agony. "Oh. the pain i'm both my feet
