Lochinvar Makes Good.

tn HE most priced possession Pop
Watson had was LochinVar
Lad. Lochinvar being a mag
Il nifcent gold and white collie
and the pride of Pops heart.
Wherever Pop hung his hat the collie
hung his collar. Wherever Pop led,
the dog, like Mary's lamb, was sure
to follow. So it was that when Pop
applied for the Job as cook on the
.5ar-O ranch 1ochinvar was at his
side
"Hph" said Foreman Jim, looking
over the ch-thumbed. smeary ref
erences. "you1l do but can't
you park that there dog somewheres
else"
Pop shook his white head
NO, Stree" he said firmly. Loeb
invar goes into the agreement or
don't. Raised him from a pup, | did.
Say, all the pay dirt in the world
couldn't separate us
Foreman Jim scratched his head.
Cooks. good cooks, had been scarce
that year, and Pop had all the ear
marks Of good cook.
"All right, the dog kin come" he
Rrunted at length, but Of ne don't
make good
With these words he picked up his
bags and marched in the direction Of
heels.
During the next three months Fore
man Jim had no cause to regret his
decision Pop was the finest cook the
BarO ranch had ever boosted, and
Lochinvar was a real dog. He could
round up a herd of cattle more quick
~ than any cowboy. and if ne We're
told to find a black sheep i'm a hun
bred white sheep he'd come back with
the one of dusky color and none other.
Yet. while I4Ochinvar earned his
keep and was the pet Of every man
on the ranch. he failed to register
hit with Foreman Jim. Jim just
couldn't stand the dog and took no
pains to conceal his dislike.
Time and again Lochinvar would
run to him. plumy tail waving, white
forelegs dancing, only to be thrust
aside with a muttered curse or a kick
But he wouldn't whine not Lochinvar.
he'd simply creep away with a look
in his brown eyes that was almost
human, and the next time Jim would
cross his path his greetings would be
none the less ELUSIVE.
Then one day, Pop. having his aft
ernoon nap in his favorite rocker
folded his hands and drifted into
sleep from which he never awoke
LOchinvar mourned his loss three
days and three nights. refusing to
touch either food or water. On the

place as faithfully as he'd followed
Pop. And when Jim would hit the
range, no matter how long the drive
Lochinvar would trot along
This lasted a month. The last day.
Jim, as was his custom went to
Darien, some 30 miles away, to get
the pay roll.

For about II o'clock gold and

collie. pulled him into the thickest
shrubbery and tied him firmly 20 n

look STROBE toward his horse, leaped
into the saddle and rode on.
1t was after shutdown when he re-
turned to Bar-O. Stevens, the book
