A HAPPY CHRISTMAS DINNER.

r ERRF wagsed his shaggy tail A
 man came out of tho gate of the J little white house, but kick and . cuff answered his friendly greeting. . Get out of here, you ugly hound. snaried the grun man, and Jerry, who was only a tramp dog. tucked his tail between his legs and strolled off to the side of the road and sat down.
 He was terribly hungry and all tsred out from his long journey. He glanced at the man and wagged his tail again. but all he got was a stone hurled at his aching head.
 Well. 1t seems funny to me-" Jerry unused to himself, that such an ugly, mean man should live in such a pretty clean house. I always thought pretty places hotSSei nice people, Oh, well!' anS Jerry got up, shook his shaggy fur and parked. "AH folks are not like that man. Faint heart never won"
 He stopped short, as tiny bundle of fur turnbled out of the door of the little white house and dashed 11t to the gate
 '-Oh, now I see," Jerry unused. They have one of those silly, good od-for-nothing poodles. If were mayor of this town-''
 Who's mayor of this town?" asked the white poodle. wagging his tail in 3 friendly manner. What would you do? Pshaw, you're not mayor. neither am l. so let's play" And the bundle of white wool tossed his head and romped through the grass
 Jerry just sat by the roadside and stared at him. "Oh. come on. I haven't had ronp with a playmate for long tine-'' the poodle called. then raced back 20 Jerry. Why don't you play with u1e?' he vhined- 'I won't hurt you-''
 'Pooh,' growIed Jerry, who hungry and tired he was cross '@Who In the world would be afraid of a poor, little. silly thing like you?'

 Jerry laughed. "HoDe7 I never knew what it was to have a home I hardly know what it means to have a good feed.''
 -Oh, my." cried wooIey Poodle, edg- ing closer. You don't mean to say you're hungry, do your?
 Before Jerry could answer. Wooley Poodle chased off to the nearest tree and began to dig at it's root The dirt flew in every direction. and when he came racing back he looked like rag. His pretty white coat was covered with dirt, but in his mouth he carried a stale piece of bread. which he handed to Jerry.
 Dear. l wish it was a piece of meat. But, say. Sure as I'm alive, it's Christ mas day. and that means turkey at our house. I'll see that you have son7e.'
 My" And Jerry fairly laughed as he swallowed the stale bread. That's the first bite I've had for two days. Your mistress will be angry when she sees how dirty you are. I'm sorry I was the cause. I know I'm dirty. too, let's go down to the brook and take plunge"
 wooley Poodle didn't know what a plunge meant, but he raced off after Jerry. When the big dog jumped into the brook, which waa not yet frozen 
 they crawled up on the shore and dried out, Jery's fur was a beautiful yellow, and Wooley Poodle was once more a snowbaI-
 They ran back to the little white hoSse, just in time to hear the mistress . calling She came to the back door with plate piled high with food. and when she saw poor old yellow Jerry she laughed.
 ~Wen. 50 you have company for your Christmas dinner. Wooley," she laughed, and she gathered up WooIey Poodle and hugged him, then called Jerry and patted his head
 My goodnessI how Jerry did eat: And it meant not only Christmas dinner for him, but he was also given a homo as g Christmas present. for when the good lady saw how the two dogs played together, she decided to keep Jerry.
 Who the ugly man that came out just before I saw you?" Jerry asked.
 ''Oh, that was tramp. Mistress never turns them away replied Wooley Poodle. and he was off for roYnp. with grateful Jerry, tired though he was. close at his heels.
 That was the happiest Christmas di1- ner Jerry ever had, but he has enjoyed many a good meal since then.
