McGirr. The Utile fellow was having a slide on tha ice and slid otf into the run- ning water in the centre of tlie stream and was beino; fast carried down stream. Tha young lad, who is not yet old enoagh to understand tha seriousness of his pre- dicament, was not even scared by the accident, and was up and about the next day as if nothing had happened.

The next day tha dog was the more u^ed iip of the two, but when the young lad waa ready to go out his faithful friend was ready for the trail again. Mr. Grifl'saya that the dog is getting old and that be had thought of making way with him on saveral occasions. Us has now changed his mind.
