The snow was falling saftly out
side. the wind was blowing wildly,
it was the worst blizzard in tenty
years. Out in the mushy cold night
sat two dull looking figures. One a
small boy about ten years old and
kind-looking old dog of about
eleven or twelve. The boy shivered
with cold, the old dog licking him
trying to keep him warm were q
very fearful sight.
The dog slept and watched by his
young master all night. The poor
dogs paws were bleeding the next
morning, cracked open by the cold.
The boy tried to get up. but it was
almost impossible because he was so
cold. The kind old helped him to
his feet. They stumbled along to-
gether down the side of the build
ings, both leaving tracks of blood in
the snow; both were thin from star
walton. They came to rick mer-
chants house and went up to the
gate.
The gate keeper looked at them IN
surprise and horror. Get away from
here you scoundrels," he cried, The
mistress would never have such hor-
rible beasts as you around. Get
away"
The boy and dog looked humbly
at the gateman, turned and stumbled
away. They went to the next house.
The welcome there was no friendler
than the last. They turned and
started again.
If only We could get by a warm
fire and get just a few crumbs Tor
breakfast, sobbed the boy. The
dog looked at him sympathizingly as
if to say. IF I could find only a
few crumbs Id do without and let
YOU have them, for I'm your guar
dian now that your mother and
father are dead"
They walked in the snow up TO
their knees; their feet freezing
leaving tracks of blood.
Every house had the same greet
ing as the last.
They met kind elderly woman
walking down the street.
"Oh my goodness, the good SOU
exclaimed. You're almost dead
Please come with me-"
F.; The boy looked at the woman VIII
the sweetest smile.
Thank you so much" he cried

They followed the old woman
She lived in a small cozy hut. a
huge ire in a CRATE; on the fire
cooking was some porridge. She tool
up the porridge, put it in thre'
bowls and prepared breakfast. Tn
boy and dog were warming by TIM

THE STATUE THAT TOLD A STORY

boy, now feeling better. II love
you. so much
What is your name? What do
your mother and father call you?
II have no father or mother" he
sobbed, I'm not like other children.
The only thing I have is Rex, my
faithful guide, who has kept me from
being bad as rich mems boys. They
tease me and mock me. When Rex
dies, I want to die too, and be buried
with him, for We share everything
together"
"Oh, you poor boy, now you have
a home and a mother for I'm by
myself, too"
But you're poor; you can't care
for u.s."
What difference does that make?"
So they boy and Rex went to live
with the old woman. The boy call
ed her mother and mother called
him Dominus Tecum, which means
Star of Heaven because he was 50
sweet. He had face as radiast and
sweet as an angels.
They had not lived together long
when Rex was taken very ill., They
did everything they could for him,
but it was no use, for old Rex died.
Dominus Tecum was so sad that
he died because he was so heart
broken.
Mother cried and cried.
She had them buried side by side
in hte same grave.
Rex had died in his young mas
ter's orms and that is the wap they
were buried, the same way they
died.
The old woman felt SO lonely in
her little home, but she knew little
Dominas Tecum would never love
anyone as much as Rex, because it
was all he had. All he had for his
very own, and now they were both
gone together, Together" she ex-
claimed with tears in her eyes.
Days and months passed, Christ
mas came. The church.. the village
was beautiful. The village was full
OF Christmas spirit, carolers, gifts
and Christmas trees.
The little old woman hung two
tockings owes the fireplace.
