How Rex Brought Up the Turkeys.
Ilex was a lovable little curly pup
py, just old enough to be into all
sorts of mischief, but cunning and
anxious to nlease as could be. Ilis
mother had been the pet of the Gra
ham household for years, and her un
timely death by lightning when Rex
was a tiny chao made him the espe
o,nl nrotpcre of each member of .the
family, from two-year-old Baby
Grace to seventy-year-old Grandna
Graham. .
All summer the turkeys had
caused Mrs. Graham no end of trou
ldp Tho farm" was bijr, and the tur
keys, young and old, seemed to take
peculiar interest m exploring those
portions furthest trom the barn-yara,
particularly at nightfall, or when a
storm was brooding, and it was im
perative that they should be under
el.pltor. Mrs. Uraham and little Joe,
his mother's helper in the chicken-
tlp tpll-tnle turkevs. "Well, I never!
Rex, you naughty" Mr. Graham
began," but his wife saw the bewilder
ed look the stern words brought to
the bright eyes of Rex, and held up a
warning finger. "He carried out
your commands as best he could,"
hp said, in soft, low tones.
Mr. Graham stooped, and patted
the curly head, murmuring some
thing about his beinsr too younar to
understand, then placincr him in Joe's
arms, they returned silently to the
house.
Joe is almost a young man now,
and Rex has long ago learned the
correct method of ' bringing ur the
stray turkeys and chickens, but the
storv of his first attempt is often re
lated, much to the amusement of the
two boys who have joined the familv
group since that day, and have now
relieved Joe and his mother af all
responsibility in regard to the tur
keys. Mae Y. Mahafly. .
