uae A CHRISTIAN SPIRIT. UTELY came a stray dog to the home of two little boys, The dog had the friendliest eyes and the wagfulest tail you saw, andy‘after reconnoitering the sit- uation for a while and learning that the two little boys would not throw bricks at it or beat it joyously with clubs, it romped with them. It would lick their hands and faces to show its grutitude, and when they dil not want to play, it would lie on the ground and just look happy at them. It wasn’t a blooded dog—-unless bloodedness consists in possess- ing som t of almost every known dog family, But, mongrel though it was, this stray dog had friendly eyes and a wagful tail, and all the object it seemed to have in life was to make these two boys happ; In doing this it barke deal, and once in a while it ran through a flower t a lady who lived next door to the house where the two little boys lived, and she did not like dogs. She discovered that this stray dog did not wear a col- lar and that it did not have a p to exist. Now- adays, you know, in many communi even a magnifi- cent Newfoundland that saves a child from drowning must show its license or be executed. ‘THE PROOF. “The Bee Hive,’ the most “Why do you consider your paintin, true-to-life drawing: you ever made?” “Because th n who paid me twenty-five dollars for it said he got stui That night one of them uttached this codicil to his prayers: “And, God, please forgive Mr. X., who lives right next door tous, You know, Mrs. X. had the policeman shoot the dog to- day, and so Mr. X. must be a very great sinner or You would not punish him by marrying him to her.”” r.

And the little boys were eating their lunch- eon when one of them looked from the window and saw the officer taking the dog away. He had tied a rope around its neck, The boys and their mamma ran out and asked why he did this. He explained that orders were orders and told how he happened to have been sent for the dog. Then, the little boys not knowing what to do, and their mamma being likewise unversed in the ways of such things, and their p; ing away at work, the officer took the stray dog with the friendly eyes and the wagful tail down the alley. Soon a shot was heard. That afternoon the little boys went down the alley and saw the stray dog lying on the ground, but the friendly eyes were shut and the wag was gone from its tail. = But were the little boys resentful?
