rt-i-a!l. and he rei-on-sod the
io'ig-draw-oiit. heart-rendin,; howl of
a lon-ly hound. He tied hi horse and
climl'inc the path, came in a few
minutes to a tumble-down dwelling.
The door was winging on one hinge;
throuuh a broken window an old
piece of curtain was slowly flapping

He railed, end out from under the
Raising porch came an old hound
that looU-d more skin and bones.
Her :re.it ears flapped about her
sunken eve:.; her skin hunt; loose

up into the face of the traveler with

that had passed she had managed to

toncer cackled round the shed; the
racued children no longer ran about

heard tliat heart-rending cry of ut

said to himself. 'Tint was the lone

all my life."
