Ne-vo was a dog that slept in akcn-nd in the yard to kee[) watch in the night, so that no thieves would come about and steal. 2. One night he fol-lowed his master ui)- stairs to his bed-room. The servant turned him out ; but he howled and scratched at the door, and, when he was driv-en away, he soon came back. 8. At last his master, eu-ri-ous to see what he would do, or-dered the door to be opened. The dog at once rushed into the room, and, giv-ing a little, short bark, by way ot thanks, he crawled under the bed, as if he liieant to stav there. ^■liini-f^m r/f ; f: /// 110 PRIMARY DEADER. U 11 4. The master thought the dog act-ed ratliei" strange-ly ; but he soon for-got all about it, and, at the u-su-al time, went to bed. »). In the middle of the night a great noise in the room woke the master, and he got up to see what was the matter. There, on the floor, was a man flat on his back, while Ne- ro stood over him growl-ing in a way that said, " Lie stili if you w^ish to keep a whole skin.'' * f). The man was tied and taken to pris-on, and he proved to be a I'ob-ber who had come to steal the master's purse, and per-haps to kill him. 7. What made the dog leave his own bed and go up to the room of his master no-body knew; but he seemed to think that his master was in dang-er, and so he went up to help him. 8. You may be sure that Ne-ro was well treat-ed after this, and he could sleep where he pleaded; but he went back to his ken- act-ed got all vent to at noise got UJ) on the ile Ne- ly that whole jris-on, d come laps to ^n bed o-bodv at his mt up 3 well where 5 ken- 8UFFER LITTLE ClilLDKEN.

Hors-es, when thev do not work too liard, love to i)lay and have fun. They will race after each other, kick their heels, and have a nier-ry time. Here are two stor-ies which a man tells of the kind of fun that the horse seems to enjoy : 2. -One of our hors-es, "Billy," used to give us a great deal of trouble, he knew so inucli. He had found out how to un-tieliis halt-er, and oj)en the stable-door, and so would get out when the door was not locked. '■:■ mtuau-j ^^elu ao-oa Aoi/'j. -tjkfl. r an-i- jp gels I drives i.

" T heard Har-rv crv, and h't Billv away; but he gave a [)art-ing shake of his iiead to the boy, as much as to say, ' Xext time I will look after you clos-er." 4. -Com-ing houie one eve-ning, I heard 'f'^/' -// 118 PKIMAHY KEADEIJ 11 couple of hors-es ruii-iiing and frisk-ing Jibout in the farni-yard at a great rate.

Lit-tle boys ean say their pray-ers just as well as grown-up people. They can run er- rands, help to keep the house neat and clean, read at night for mother and father, speak gent-ly to tiie ser-vants and bring food to the poor. *> When holy Da-vid was but a small 1 he watch-ed his father's flocl )0V w hen ks ; Sani-u-el I mere child, lived and i)ra}ed in the tem-ple ; the most l)less-ed Vir-gin Ma-ry, the Mother of God. went to the tem-ple when she was four or live years old ; and Je-sus Avhen a child, helped liis fos-ter fa- ther Saint Jo-seph, in a car-pen-ter's shop. /'6p- S'od ■line I'j a/i ei^il ONLY A LITTLE liOV 121 If lit-tle bovs and oirls could do iiotli-iim- else than make tlieii' i)a-pas and niani-nias hap-py, by be-ing gen-tle, kind o-blig-ing. this would be a great thing al-ready.
