True Story of Small Hoy and Pet
Hiding Donkey.
ED was crying as if his
heart would break, and
Ted did not often cry.
Usually he was a brave
lifi.Jfi hov. who tried to
z&iJX& make the best of the
things that had to be. But today he was
really crying, and it was all on account
of Jack.
Jack was only a donkey, with short
legs and long ears, and a funny little nose
that he used to thrust into Ted's hand
when he wanted to tell him how much
he loved him, and into his pocket if he
thought there was a bit of apple there.
"But there are donkeys and donkeys,"
as Ted often said, "and Jack is the smart
est that ever was." He could not exactly
talk, but he hud a lot of different brays,
and each one meant something.
morning. He did his work as well as
ever, though, and when the water was
brought and the wood chopped he went
out to hoe the garden. Presently he
heard a most awful clatter, and down the
road came Jack, trotting ai fast' as his
short legs would go, while behind him,
bumping and banging over stones and
ruts, was a pretty little wagon. A boy
and girl were in the wagon, and such a
funny sight as they made. The boy had
lost his hat, but he still held on to the
reins, tugging at them with might and
main,, while his little sister clutched
wildly at his coattails.
"He'll pull you out, Phil," she said, the
words being fairly joggled out of her.
"Oh, will he ever stop? lie's just"
Hut she got no further, for just then
Jack reached the gate, and with a bray
that seemed' to say, "There, now, I've
done it," came to a standstill so suddenly
that Phil and Nell both tumbled over
backward ; but in a second they were on
their feet again.
AT THE ZOO.
Joco Polish 'em up, sir ?
Hippo Nawl I don't want any of your " Monkey Shines ! "
Ted had owned Jack for two whole
years, and he had taken care of him the
best he knew how, and loved him, oh, so
much ! And now Jack had to be sold .
There was no help for it. either, for
Ted's father had died, and he and his
mother were too poor to keep Jack. So
Ted could only throw his arms about his
little friend's shaggy neck and whisper
in his wriggly ears :
"You know I wouldn't let you go if I
could help it, Jackie. I'd share my last
bit of bread with you. Only a bit of bread
would never fill your stomach, Jackie."
And Jack gave the bray that meant
"Yes, I understand," and rubbed his nose
on Ted's sleeve.
But when they came to tike Jack away
Ted slipped off and cried all by himself.
He tried to think how comfortable Jack
would be in his fine new home, for a rich
man had bought him to be a playmate for
his little boy and girl.
"Maybe I'll soon get over caring so aw
fully much," he told himself. But he
went to bed with a heavy heart, and it
seemed no better when he got up next
"Gee, what a little beast !" said Phil,
in disgusted tones, as he wiped his dirty
face on a handkerchief. "Where are we
at, anyhow?"
Nell could not tell him. She was too
busy getting her breath. Besides, she
had bumped her head so hard that she
felt more like crying than anything else.
Then she saw Ted hugging Jack just as
hard as he could, for it had not taken him
long to drop his hoe and run out.
"Why, do you know our donkey?" she
asked.
"Know him !" repeated Ted, his eyes
shining. "1 guess I do. He was my
donkey until yesterday."
"Well, I wish he'd been yours these
last ten minutes," remarked the still dis
gusted Phil. "Gee! Didn't he go though ?
just like hail Columbia!"
"Hut he knows how to stand, too." added
Nell. "I wish you had seen him. We
were only a little way from home and we
wanted to go back again, but Jack just
wouldn't do it. He was as stubborn as
stubborn, and we had the awfullest time.
We coaxed and pulled, and coaxed and
