. I Barry had to examine every one of: these articles, staring at them with}E solemn little wrinkles between his eyes; and sniffing at them with his 'pudgy; little nose. After a while he began to notice queer sounds that came from within the house. Shere might be something there to play with, he thought, and one day when the door: was left open he pushed in his in- quisitive little nose and then his whole wriggling, inquisitive little body. : The floor was very clean indeed it was so well scrubbed that his clumsy saws slid out from under him in fourl ifi’erent directions, and at last he sati down squarely in the middle of the. room and looked around. Scarlet ger- aniums were growing in pots on the: wmdow sills, but they did not look good to eat or to play with. There‘ were straight-backed chairs and a table, but what they were for, Barry had not the least idea. One thing, however, did interest him so much that he wobbled over to it with his uncertain little paws to find out what it was. This was the big white por- celain stove. The fire was in a sort of furnace in the hall, but enough heat was brought into the big white stove so that Barry thought it was the most comfortable thing he had ever known, except, of course, his mother’s furryI breast, and he snuggled up to it cozily, all ready to take a nap. A voice said, “Hello, Barry!" He turned to see where it came fromâ€" which means that he toppled over in a little heap. When he picked himselfl tipâ€"that is, when he balanced himself on his four paws instead of on his backâ€"the first thing he saw was a small slender hand stretched down from somewhere. Barry gazed at it.. Of course, he had seen people before, and the people had hands, but the ‘ the things forbidden. people. were big and the hands were big different from this one. He drew, u-u uu‘, prise, Barry found out that he coulc swim better than Carl. Best of all they learned each other’s language When the puppy set out to chase a small kitten and Carl said, “No Barry,” he understood this was 'one oi If Carl said. “Find my ball and we will have a play,” Barry knew that a ood time was coming, and set off in igh glee to find the ball. Carl understood the puppy just as well. If Barry laid his great aw on the boy’s knee and turned his ead to look out of the window, Carl knew this meant, “Do, please, come out with me.” If Barry gave a short, quick bark, it meant, “I’m in a hurry.” If it was a long, deep one, it meant, “There’s something wrong.” Barry made one peculiar sound which was neither bark nor whine. It began alv most like a little lonesome sob, but it ended in a cry of joy. This was his greeting to Carl if the two had been separated for a while. The school chil- dren had a song called “The Baron’s Welcome,” and they called this cry “Barry’s Welcome.” Barry was a happy dog, but after a while the day came when Carl and an armful of books went away from the house early in the morning, and he was forbidden to follow. He sat down on the piazza in amazement. What could it mean? It must be' a mistake, for, of course, he had a right to go wherever Carl went, and pretty soon he jumped up and ran after him as fast as ever he could. He was only a puppy, however, and very soon he lost the scent and wan- dered about, a forlorn little, bewilder- ied dog, roaming alone through the streets of Berne. He had never been there before.

He had never been there before. When he and Carl went out together, they went through the bright, sunny fields, but the streets of the city were quite different. In most of them the second story of the build- ings extended to the very edge of the sidewalk and rested upon heavy square pillars. This made the Walks: dark and gloomy, and the poor little puppy began to feel afraid. i Carl understood the puppy just as .well.

They went to the little lake and, much to his sur- ;prise, Barry found out that he could fswim better than Carl.

I’m sick, but I’m going to be well pretty soon, and then we’ll do things, won’t we, though?” Barry waved his tail. “What a splendid boy that is,” he thought “He’s §s_good_as a guppy: I like him up, Barry!" he did his very best to obey, and stretched up on his unsteady little legs until he could rest his paws on the edge of the couch and look about. war 3.1 I tried he s was n01 3559 Too True. “Look here!" exclaimed the prospec- tive car purchaser, bursting into the repair shop. “Beatum tells me he has run his car for three years and hasn’t paid out one cent for repairs.

Each like to each, yet each one set When the Winter snows began to fall, Barry grew restless. He smelled the air uneasily. His great brown eyes began to have a troubled and anxious look, like one‘weighed down with the thought of work not done and the {ear of not ‘being able to do it. Barry grey rapidly into a dog of medium size, square-built and com- act. His coat was white and tan, his air short, but close to the skin it was so thick as to be almost like felt. His ears drooped and his eyes were dark and deep-set. His whole bearing was gentle and affectionate, even play- ful, but yet with a certain uiet dig- nity as if he were awaiting tier some- thing of iinpor’oance to happen. “Mother, motherl” he cried, “the teacher says that if Barry will be good he may come every day and lie in the hall till it is time to come home.
