Albrecht and the E gg

A LBRECHT DURER was brown span
lei. 1t was Mary who gave him this
name; and she gave it because he looked
very much like the dog in the print of The
Knight and Death" which hung over the
cnimneypiece in Toms study. She could not
very well call the dog after the picture. 20
sac gave him the artists name. Tom and
ihary lived in a little country cottage, and
they brought up Albrecht Durer according
to the directions given in a little book called
"Our Friend the Dog They also kept
few hens. treating them according to the
advice given in another book called Profits
From Poultry"
The book about the dog was a good book
and Albrecht f1ourished. The poultry book
did not seem to be a good book, for there
never were any eggs. This puzzled Tom and
Mary. Hens never lay eggs for people who
trust in books, but Tom and Mary did not
know this. They believed their book and
read it over and over, trying to find out
where they had gone wrong in the manage
ment Of their hens.
Light came to them at last, but oddly
enough from the dog book, not the poultry
book. Tom came on q paragraph headed

With rude cunning the constable twisted

sistance would result only-in dislocated

years the unique distinction Of possessing
two names. 1t received the second but more
popular name in this way:
"a stranger who had lost, or thought he

on the turnpike where two ramshackle cot
tages, a blacksmith shop and an incognito
postofdce stood. The only human being in
sight was the traditional barefooted boy.

cure, according to the book, was simple.

duty was plain. Mary bought an egg and
Tom blew it, a. he had blown blackbirds'
eggs when he was a boy. Mustard was

Then Mary cried softly and Tom sat In
gloomy silence, thinking of the torture which
awaited their dear dog. Albrecht lay at
Mary's feet and looked at her with loving
eyes, not knowing what lay before him.
On Sunday morning Tom laid the dreadful
egs in the hens nest. Then he and Mary
went to church. They hoped, In this way,
to escape witnessing poor Albrecht's agony.

egg at once, and the worst would Be over
