For Amy there was the lovely pic

she had admired. Bob had remember
ed and had made a frame for it out
Of strips of wood, and on the wood
he had glued tiny pine cones, pieces of
birch bark and dried moss, and as the
picture was a woodland scene you can
imagine how pretty it was. Bob had
found a chair rung, which he scraped
and polished with some oil and turpen-

a wonderfully handy thing, and for his

man who kept the tobacco store in the

paid him some money Bob said he'd
rather have a pipe. So now they were
all provided for except little Peter.
How was Bob going to get hold Of a
real live puppy?
"You 60 over to my brothers place
at the foot of Long hill, and you tell
him l sent YOU" said the tobacco man.
Maybe he will let you have puppy
and work it out for him on Saturdays.
He has paper route"
"Tn do 1t If he WILL" cried Bob
eagerly. Half an hour later he hurried
into the woodshed with wriggling
little puppy under his coat. OF course
he had to tell his mother about that.
And how Bob did enjoy the secret, run
ming to and fro with milk and scraps
of meat for the puppy!
