Billy, CHANGING to look back down
the alley. thought he saw boy
running in his direction and, for
fear It might be Ned. he hurried on
and turned out of the alley into the
first street he came to. He had
gone but few feet when he saw
one of the boys that always played
with Ned coming In his direction,
so he lodged into the next alley and
hid behind garbage box until the
boy had crossed out of sight, then
he came out and began to look for
some friendly stable that he could
enter. 1t was beginning to storm
and soon the rain came down in
torrents. Vivid lightning flashes
were followed by loud rumblings OF
thunder. and although Billy was a
hardy goat, still he was deathly
afraid of thunder storms. He
quickened his pace. passing stable

keep out the rain and not even a
back yard gate was open so he
could run in and get under a wood
shed or porch.

friends a. few days and every day
they had arace, or the boys played

On and made him pull 1t to where
they played the fire was. After a
while Billy thought this was too
much ike work; there was no fun
: in it for him, besides Hero would
not speak to him since he had
beaten him in every race they had
run, so he decided to go away and
look for another home.
1t was three nights after this be-
fore he found chance to slip out,
as he was shut in the stable every
night in one of the box stalls. This
night the coachman forgot to latch
the sliding door to his stall, so
when the man went to supper Billy
pushed il open and slipped out into
the coach house where. as luck
would have it, he found the door

occupant OF the boX-a little yellow
dog with stubby tail and blazing
eyes.
When Billy Jr. found that he had
crawled under the same box with
little yellow doggie he said:
We'll, what are you doing here?"

Il came in to get out OF the rain

"And | came here because | live

"Oh, If that Is the case ! will be

After this they became very well
acquainted and prolonged their talk
far into the night, exchanging con-
fidences and experiences.
AS you all know Billy's history,
will not repeat what he told the
dog, but will confine myself to the
sad story of Stubby's life.
Stubby was undoubtedly of COM
mon parentage with not drop of
blue blood in his veins. but he did
not care, only he often thought it
would be very nice to be petted
and fed as thoroughbreds were.
This wish, however, only came on
days when he had nothing to eat
but a piece of mouldy bread from
the garbage box and nothing to
drink but water out Of mud pud.

exchange his lot for that of King
Charles lying on a satin cushion on
my ladys boudoir, or taken for
walk at the end of a silver chain?
No, he would not change his free,

box for all the satin cushions in the
world. He felt that he should sick.

To be sure, it must be nice to have

would stroke you with her soft

to romp and play with, but one
could not have these joys without
the evils of being shut up in an
overheated house, and that he knew
he could not stand.

He was captured by the pirates
and given something that made

He was just like the rest of the
