for it as i found ont now all boys and girls who understand anything about fa life know that there are a thousand and one things to be done there which are never dreamed of in a a olty in the first place there are tho cows to be taken oare of and on the farm where i was staying it was grover who bad obarge of them eaoh morning at early dawn just as the sun was creeping over tbe tops of the hills grover wonid drivo tbe patient animals to paatare bach evening ai the buo dropped gently behind the western elopes the dog would- orosb the bars at tbe end of the narrow lane leading to tbe meadows and by a series of short sharp barks call the cows home again they know the sound of his voice and what it meant and they would como every one of them even the laziest then there was the churning to be done and it la of this that i want to tell you it was grover who attended to the churning and dog though be was- h was ho who taught me that duty ia duty and that it must be done at all hazards the churning took place tbree times a week the hoar before lunoheon the cream was plaoed in a large barrel attached by means of an iron handle to a treadmill on this treadmill grover had walked for over an hoar each day tbree times a week every week in the year for ton years think of it i at the end of the boar the oburninx was done theoream bad beoome batter and qrover wae free to frolioonoo more

abase a rabbit or aotae buzzing ineept finally i grew hungry and oboosing a rock near a bower of maiden hair faro x sat down and opened onr lunch basket qrover tti me intently poor old dog 1 i said as i took obt a piece of noeat g rovers eyes snapped be oonld scarcely wait until i enould band it to him his tail mean while beat a sticoato accompaniment to his barks the meat was swallowed at a gulp the month raised itself for more no churning torday lis thero i said in triumph as i bent over the basket at tbe words the dogs head suddenly dropped bis tail fell to hit sldea and with a low whine he turned and ran off grover 1 i shoated what could be the matter i woodered in a moment however be returned gasing up at me with a atraogely beseeohiog look in bis liquid eyoiv what is it grover i asked again a low whine and a violent wagging of his tail was my only answer his eyes still pleaded x drew tbe cover over the basket and reluctantly rose grover watched me intently at last i spoke grover i said as i looked down at bim yon evidently do not like this place but if you were not with me do you know what yoa woald be doing sir you would be churning i aloud bakgreetedt ftjy final word and with a spring qrover seised the basket between his teeth ami dashed down tbo path by whioh we had oomo i followed btartled phipmonks scampered from us as we passed frightened aboaller thlngi hurried to tbe kindly abolteror thoruatlfng leaves bat grover heeded not nor did my repeated cries stop bim at last hot tired and hungry we reached the farmhouse then for the first time i understood the meaning of grovers look and actions it was ohurning day ibe very boor bow could 1 for an instant have thought that a dog like grover any dog in fact oonld be pannaded to set aside doty for ploaiuref i was
