A young girl was crossing the public
garden tie- other rnotrn-rjig upon She
maf-n path which crossed the bridge,
mivs the Rc-ston Record. She was ae
compaimled by a marrn-.ficent nuistiff.
who sitrode along b. side her im the most
convpa.n'lon'a.ble s.mt of way. looking up
in her Pace oceasioTiiailly as If to remark
c-aisually that it was a very tine morn?
ing, or to ai k if there was anythyig he
could .1" f..,- ,her.
Th- two cr.-e.-.-.l the bridge together,
ni l finally came t.. th,- Charles street
gaite. Here iuhe young girl, evidently
n.t wishing to have tie- care of the dog
in the busy streets, turned to him and
said:
"Th.-re. that is far enough now, Mar?
co. Yoti need mot rr>> with me any ftir
t.her, but turn about 'and go back
home."
She did not talc- her hands out of heir
muff to point the way, am.d she spoke
.is she would to a small brother, in a
ple.-vsnnt tin.! conversa'tiona.l way.
Marco looked ai her wi'tih his large
ey.\<. then looked acroiris the common,
waiggimg his tal'til slowly as .though he
wer- tl. nk'ing how very pleasant it
would I..- to go the rest of uhe wiaiy.
Finally he turned .back Corner again and
with a movement of his ey.-s .und iheia?!
asked as plainly a* though the words
had .-.nie from his mouth: "iPlease let
nie go a little further, it is such a line
"N'o. dear: I'm g-otog shopping, you
know." ainswereid the girl, explaini ng

"there'll be crowds of people, and I
a'a'nll not krn-w whan to do with you.
But go along now, there's a go.,,1 fellow,
tiri.l I'M be back sn>on."
With-.ut another word Marco turned
tamd waHked back across the gardens,
lie I n .t sl'ink away, as some dogs do
when s.-at back, but miarcihed leisurely
along with his head in the air, stopped
a moment on Uhe bridge to watch the
children ska.tung below, then trotted on
toward Oorritrniomjweailtih avenue.
