and paw frantically at him. Thinking
the dog had gone mad and attacked her

hurried to the rescue.
But Bow had better business on hand.
He had understood that it was his duty
to protect his playmate who was not
supposed TO know as much as he, and
so acted quickly and energetically.
When the frightened mother rushed on
the scene and grasped the baby 10 her
arms, the dog was beside himself with
joy. The reason for his madness was
at once apparent, and who can say that
il was not good and timely? Tightly
