ked at her in wonder*
| me: -she was so like themselves—•
j am. i:. -1 a calf advanced in a friend
ly • an. i-r, stretched out his head ami
e her a friendly kiss. That was
i. r we come and her initiation into
ti e circle of domestic animals. After
that ho was counted as one c* their
mini i.er.
The sheep, colts and young cattle
remained in the pasture day and night,
but the cows were driven to the barn
each night to be milked.
The fawn fed with the animals all
the first bay, a peace and contentment
reigning in her mind because she had
found friends and companionship. To-!
ward nightfall, a couple of boys and
a dog came into the pasture to drive
home the cows. They came along
leisurely, stopping every now and then
to examine a flower, looking into each
bush to see if it contained a bird’s
nest, or running after butterflies to
admire their brilliant colorings. By
and by they sighted the animals and
stopped short in wonderment. There
was an extra one among them. The
boys chattered. What could it mean?
While they were at a loss how to pro*
ceed their companion, the dog, was
not. With a bark, he started after the
fawn as an intruder among his per
sonal friends. This action aroused the
beys ■ * d : ey shouted:
1;- ■ c back, Tray! Don’t you
touch that ‘to2r!”
1 touted at tne animals.
They we. . not afraid, even at the
fierce as; -. . of he deg. Evidently all
three oi trie newcomers were their
frie uls \t ere they—could they be
friends? Tire dog’s looks were threat
ening and she bethought herself of
flight; but on the shouts of the boys
he put on a different aspect. His head
. >;.ed. In .hi curled between his
hind legs, and his eyes wore a shamed
expression as much as to say: ‘I
ti.ougnt it was a deer; but my friends,
the boys, mean to make her a $alf. My
cld wolf nature would like to chase
her; but this is one more repression of
civilization ’’
When the boys found that the dog
understood that he was not to touch
i ti e deer, they dropped their perempto
ry tones, smoothed his head and called
I i:im a good old felow, whereupon hg
was appeased, and jumped joyously up
to one of the colts'1 noses, with g
friendly yelp of recognition.
The boys tried to gain a closer ac
quaintance with the fawn, and she,
gaining confidence by
of her companions, aUlo
come close to her, but
asserted itself when
to touch her.
