Your companionship was insufferable

you. But, now that am transported.

NO" cried the ghost, for your sins

The ghost passed through the bed

DAN.

am going to tell you a story about
our old dog Dan.
We had owned Dan many years,
when II happened for several reasons
that We thought 1t wasn't wise TO
keep Etm longer.
Uncle John. who lived on a farm
across the river, came to see us one
day and we sent Dan away with him
to live on the farm.
Dams favorite plaything all these
years had been little toy WOODEN
dog which We all called Towser. SO.
when Dan went away, we sent Towser
along 10 keep him company. We
thought the farm would he a splendid
home for Dan, but he didn't seem 10
like IL as we'll as we had expected.
He was homesick. and home he
came; and instead OF going 'wav
around by the bridge, he came right
across the river. Maybe you think.
since he came that way. he must
have left Towser behind. But, no In
deed-he swan all the way across,
holding Towser in his mouth high
above the water, so that the toy was
dropped into It's old place behind tho
kitchen stove as dry as though 1t
had never left the spot. We never
tried to send Dan away again.
