friends who would use him with more
consideration. So ne ran out of the
yard and down the street, turning first
one corner and then another, till at
last he found himself in a sparsely
settled part of the town. And then it
was that he began to feel hungry,
thirsty and tired, and began looking
about for a place to rest. Fortunately,
he saw the open door of a barn, and
into it he peeped. The great place be-
ing empty Speckles entered and lay
down to rest, his legs were so tired
from running. While he lay there
wondering where he should go to find
meat and water a form darkened the
doorway and a big boy stepped inside
the barn. Seeing Speckles lying in the
unused manger he smiled and said:
"Howdy, puppy. Where did you come
from? Gee! you're fine little tramp"
And from that day to the day on
which this story opens Speckles was
very contented. He had the barn all
to himself to sleep and play in, and
he was invited to the house to eat his
breakfast and dinner on the back
porch, which had a southern exposure
and was bright and warm. And nice
old lady placed his food for him on a
plate and patted his head every time
he came to eat. And in the alley were
other stray dogs with whom he would
play, but with whom he would not run

SpeCkIeS Finds Home
with Kind Stranger
Deserted Doggi Left Alone in House by His Owners Decides
Become Little Tramp and Wande Forth in Search of New
Friends. A Group School Children Their Way
School for Him, Little Girl Who Reached
i'm Claims Him for Her Own

All of a sudden Speckles found him
self alone-the house empty and no
sound of a human voice TO answer his
bark, bark bark. 1t was early in the
morning and Speckles had been asleep
in the old barn at the rear of the house.
This barn had been his headquarters
during the winter, and the people in
the house had been his good friends.
Not that Speckles really belonged to
the household, for he had only found
the place just as the hard winter days
were setting in. During the summer
months Speckles had lived with some
boys who had carried him away from
his mothers kennel one dark night,
and who used to take him about the
streets with them and sometimes to the
country on fishing trips. But when the
cold weather came these boys seemed
to forget Speckles, for every morning
they went away from the place where
they lived and did not return till late
in the evening. OF course, Speckles
did not know they were going to school.
He only knew that he was lonely and
that his summer friends were begin
ming to neglect him. This was very
hard to bear for, being a dog, Speckles
loved company.
So one morning after his two-legged
comrades had left him for the day
Speckles decided to find some other
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

away. He knew what wandering about
means, and since he had found such q
pleasant place to live he meant to stay
on indefinitely.
One evening the big boy came into
the barn where Speckles was very
busily engaged in digging for rat.
He had seen the rat run into the hole
and was determined to get it out. So,
being so occupied. he did not pay any
attention to the big boy when he said:
well so long, puppy. Gle had no
way of knowing Speckles' name) I
hate to leave you here all alone, but
mother and are giving up the house
and moving into a fiat away down in
the city. and we couldn't take you with
us But another family are moving
into the house tomorrow and + spoke
to them about you, and they said
they'd allow you TO stay, and would
be glad to have you for keeps. So I'll
have to say good-by, old fellow, and
good luck to you. Mother is leaving
plenty of food on the back porch for
you, and a dish of water is beside the
pump. Tomorrow you'll have new
friends to look after you"
And then the big boy went away af-
ter patting Speckles on the head And
all that day Speckles was happy, for he
found the food and water in the usual
place, and paid no attention to the abb
sence of the big boy and the old lady.
And so the night settled down and
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

do you think? One of the little girls
got him. She threw herself on her
knees and caught Speckles in her arms
just as the other four children reached
the spot, all out of breath.
''He's mine!" cried the happy little
girl. And what do you suppose
Speckles did? He reached up his face
and kissed her squarely on the cheek
with his pink tongue. And he wagged
his tail till it was in danger of coming
out of place. But he was so happy,
for he knew the little girl. would love
him and give him the happiest home
he had ever known.
But what will you do with him at
school?" asked one of the other girls.
1.-THE teacher won't allow you to keep
him in the house."
'I'll ask her to excuse me till can
carry him home,' said the happy little
girl who now owned Speckles. "And
know she won't refuse when tel her
how we found him, a poor little waif
on the road"
And the teacher excused the little girl
from school that morning, allowing her
to lead Speckles TO his future home,
which turned out to be the happiest
home in the world to him. And ever
after that he was a contented puppy.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

and remained where he was. But this
he did not know. so he decided to go
away from the place where he had been
very content. To be sure, he had
missed the companion hip of children.
for the big boy and the old lady could
not play with him as children did, al
though they had always been so kind
to him. But he did not mind doing
without childrens society so long as
he had good home.
But on this morning of which I write
Speckles realized that he was now
homeless. Poor puppy! Could he have
only waited a few hours, he would have
seen a very nice family move into the
old house. But-perhaps after you have
finished this story you will be glad
that he did not wait.
Well, to hurry through the story,
Speckles took paws i'm hand, so to
speak, and trotted away from the place
where he had been left alone. He en-
tered a country road which seemed
very pleasant, for the snow had been
worn away by the manv wheels that
ran over it, and the sun was unusually
bright and warm for January morn
ing.
So down and up the road he went,
over hills and through valleys. And
about him stretched meadows of woods
and fields. And once he crossed
stream-walking on the ice. All, how
cold it was to his little paws
About $50 o'clock he saw some chill
dren coming to meet him. They were
running so happy that Speckles be-
came happy too, and wanted to share
in their sport. So, forgetting that he
was a stranger, and that he might not
be welcome, he ran down the road as
fast as ever he could, barking "hody-
do, kids" to the group of girls and
boys There were five of them--two
boys and three girls-and when they
saw Speckles they ran toward him with
all their might.
"Oh, a doggie" cried one little girl.
"Oh, what a pretty puppy" cried one
of the boys.
1.-The one who gets him first may own
him." said the oldest boy.
And then the race began, and what
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-19

Speckles slept as usual in the barn in
the manger full of soft, warm straw.
But when the morning dawned he
jumped from bed and ran to the house
and barked at the door. Always before
when he had barked a good-morning
the old lady had opened the door at
once and had patted him on the head.
And then she had placed his plate of
food down to him and he had break
tasted. But this morning he barked
and barked, and no one opened the
door to him. Then. seeing a window
low over the porch open, Speckles
jumped through it into the room. He
found the place empty and cold, and
his lonesome bark, bark, bark made an
echo which frightened him. Why, the
house was empty. Even the last piece
of furniture was gone.
And then, heavy hearted. Speckles
jumped out through the window and
stood on the porch, looking around.
How different things appeared since
the people of the house were gone.
Even the big yard in which he had
loved to romp was lonesome, and the
wind moaned around the corner of the
empty house, making wall as it en-
tered the open window.
If Speckles had only known that
new family was that very minute get
ting ready to move into the empty
house he would have hidden the time

IN THE FOREST

NV Dear Boys and Girls:
T HIS week it seems to me I have
been going to school almost as
- much as you have, for I have at
tended commencement exercises at
girls private schools, at colleges, at
preparatory schools, and so forth. Be-
sides that, I have gone to see class
plays and class day ceremonies, and to
eat at alumni banquets until I am sure
that not one of you feels the rush of
commencement week more than 1 do.
But I like every minute of it, and
when I am rushing along through the
school grounds or the street near some
school it pleases me more than I can
tell to hear some pretty girl or bright
faced boy say to a companion, That's
Aunt Laurie"
l wish | knew every one of you by
name, and that each of you would
speak to me personally when you do
see me. The other day 1 passed some
little girls in the street, just as I was
getting on the car, and one of them
said, Good morning, Aunt Laurie"
am sure that little girl has been in
my office, and just because could not
remember her name at that minute was
no reason at all why I was not de-
lighted to have her speak to me.
Now I must talk about the topics
You have the Fourth of July letters to
write yet-some of you, at least A
good many have sent their letters in
to me, but not enough of you. Then
81,
1 want some letters about the woods.
But" you say, II have never been
in the woods, Aunt Laurie. I cannot
write on that topic" But there you
are mistaken. You can write on it if
you have seen even one tree; and there
are few boys and girls in California
who have not seen at least one tree.
I would rather have a long letter
telling all about the things you saw in
a forest-about the birds, the flowers,
the MOSES and stones and brooks, if
there were any; but if you cannot tell
that, then go out in~the yard or across
to some neighbor's yard and tell me all
you can about some one tree. Since
you cannot tell your actual experiences
adventures with this one tree.
Pretend that you are all alone in the
country with just this one tree, and
tell exactly what you would do under
such circumstances.
The pictures can be managed in the
same way If you cannot describe or
draw a forest scene, then you can draw
a picture of yourself, or your little
brother, or your best doll, or the puppy
you lost, somewhere under a tree
waiting for the rescuer who is as sure
to come to all the good little boys and
girls of Juniordom as he is to the regu-
lar story book boys and girls.
Let me see how your imagination
will work. 1 hope to have many, many
stories about the forest, and just as
many pictures.
Congratulations to the boys and girls
who passed their examinations, and
hopes for a good hard summers study
for the ones who failed, so that autumn
will see them once more progressing
with their school and classmates.
With love to you all,
AUNT LAURIE.
