THE GOOSE NEVER FORGOT
Kindness Shown a GOSling Gained
Man Constant Friend.

H: A. Page, in "T9e Inner Life of An
imals."
One day lad saw a young gosling
struggling in the grasp of a nuga rat.
1t made a vigorous resistance, but by
the time the lad came to the rescue it
was so severely bitten that it must
have soon become it's antagonists vic
tim. The youth continued his care over
it until it recovered from its injuries,
dressing its wounds every day. Dur
ing his attendance on it friendship
sprang up between them, and the Cos
ling might be seen limping after him
everywhere. The boy departed for
school, and on iais return nome at holi-
day time was joyfully recognized by
the goose, which showed its joy as
plainly as a dog, and attached itself to
him as before.
He became a man and the gosling a
goose, but neither o. them outlived
their regard for each other. The CRATE
ful bird deserted her feathered COM
panions as soon as her friend visited
his nome, and followed f1im as before,
and when the young man was seized
with illness the poor bird became rest
less and pining as though she knew
something was wrong Guided by some
wonderful instinct, she made her way
to his room, a corner Of which she had
occupied during the time hel da tend
ed ner wounds in his boyhood, and
when she heard his voice she crept un-
der the bed and established herself
