 Jack watched Teddy as far as he could, not knowing that he was going away for a long time. The next day Jack wan dered all over the house. He hunted back and forth and all around the yard. He went here and there in the snow. At last Jack grew tireV Cf hunting about the house. He went to the river where they had always fished together, but he did not find him anywhere near theres He went to the woods where they. had always hunted together, but he was not there-searching every path he could find. He next walked slowly to Teddys office, hut when he got there the door was closed tight and there was sign on 1t that had in big black letters. Closed He wondered where his master had gone.

He watched her fix it and then go in the house. Jack turned around and stood at the gate watching to see
 if he could see his only friend coming down the street.

 would be happy.
 They had always played together, gone fishing and hunting together ever since they were little. But now Teddy had grown to be a man, and Jack had grown to be an old dog.
