For long time silence, broken

The Dancing Girl.

A fortnight later, Burton remem-
bered that he was somewhat in arrears
with his dancing lessons, and arranged
to give an afternoon to teaching his
rebellious feet the intricacies of the
valse a deux temps and the turkey trot
those sure and certain credentials
to the inner shrine of high society.
He ordered his car and sought his sec
retary's approval of the garb donned
for this suspicious occasion.
The two young men went out to-
gether and entered the car. BY evil
chance, a mean1ooking, shifty-eyed
man, who had crook written on him
in natures unkindest script, happened
to be seated on a bench near the en-
trance to the house. He eyed the
two with envious interest. But his ex-
preston changed to one of blank
amazement when he caught sight OF
the secretary.

EASY TO TRAIN SHEPHERDS
Puppies Soon Learn If They Are Placed
With Ewes and the Lambs
Taken Away. !

1t is easy enough to train shepherd
dogs if they are taken as pup
pies. When the sheep are lambing,
take a lamb away from its mother
and put the puppies on the eve. Keep
the eve tied up for a few days and
see that the little puppies nurse her;
then it will not be long until she will
think as much of the pups as she does
of her lamb.
AS soon as the pups are old enough
to follow the sheep let them go with
the bunch and they will soon be TAX
ing care of the sheep. The dogs will
soon learn to take them out Of the
sheNs in the morning and bring them
back at night. And If a strange dog
or wolf comes around, one dog will
stay and fight while another will start
the sheep for home. In lambing time
they keep the sheep close around the
ranch or camp, and seem to take on
a degree of intelligence that is mar
velOus. They can soon be taught the
masters calls or signals and will obey
promptly. 1t is essential that they
shall be fed by some sort of system,
and it is well to have them understand
that this is their reward. If one has
a good working dog, it is surprising
how readily a young animal will learn
from the old one. But the masters do
not always have an old dog, and then
the trainer must play the dog himself
and do a little running. Everyone
has his own whistles or words of COM
mand, and dog soon catches on.--Ex-
change.
