He thought much of these two dog chums of his They were his constant companions By much association with himself he had “humanized’ them to a remarkable degree And - a and humanized bird dog is one of the wisest creatures on earth' So fond of them was Mr Green that when he broke up housekeeping and went to live at the local hotel he arranged for Hector and Bose to be taken along with him as fellow boarders He persuaded the hotel keeper to set aside and fence a bit of ground as a just behind the main building build in it a run for them and to Also he paid double kennei-coo- p Wilson the hotel's fat old negro cook to feed them every day Wilson was as Jolly and as he was fat Prom the first he and the two bird dogs were devoted friends He fed them abundantly and talked and played with them as if they were children The kitchen range was of the kind which burned wood instead of coal The dooryard Just behind the building was kept piled high with this fuel wood eut into lengths suitable for the size of the ' stove sevDaily Wilson had to make eral pilgrimages to this woodpile to collect enough fuel to keep up the desired heat in the ovens The two dogs used to watch these Journeys of his with an increasing interest' One day Just before it was time to give them their dinner the two appeared at the kitchen door each with a stick of firewood in his mouthGravely they deposited these burdens l alongside the stove Then they went from it to the woodpile and brought two more sticks Wilson stared in unbelieving amazement at their strange actions But he had sense enough not to speak nor to stir as the dogs continued to bring in the wood stick by stick until there was a very respectable heap of it on the floor beside the range Then they seemed to feel they had done enough work for one day and they stood in front of the cook wag-aglng their tails as if waiting for word Of commendation from ‘ him They got It Loudly and enthusiastically Wilson - top-notc- that Read this Arval O rot at Salt ed The two appeared each with a stick of firewootl in his mouth- them He petted them both more He gave them an undinner by usually big and palatable way of reward That' was enough for Hector and -a “Bose'They realized they haj madehit and that it had brought them praised He did not only petting and praise but a next day they repeated fine meal ng the performance and 'at its end they came up to Wilson' wood-fetchi- as and before stood wagging their' tails and looking into his face' Again they got the same laughingly extravagant praise and petting and the same tempting dinner Anyone who understands the tremendous vanity of a dog will realize that this was 'double experience enough to give Bose and Hector tbe habit of bringing in wood and of expecting the same payment every 'day Wilson told the story i Caldwell Green and the hotel's proprietor and townsfolk of Palestine used to watch surreptitiously from the hallway the and its reward daily wood-carryiNew gruests at the hotel Joined the ‘amused watchers and took the story awav with them The queer behavior of Hector and Bose became one of ng ‘ ' the conversation topics of the - neigh- borhood All would have' gone well if Wilson had been content to let the trick continue without trying to improve —on it - But he was curious to see what rs the two might do if they did not receive their usual daily — wood-carrie- ' " payment (It is always a" mistake to interfere with an amusing trick which a dog - has thought out for himself unless one wants it spoiled Tew people understand that or understand how easily a dog’s ' timid groplngs after human reasoning can be wrecked) One day when the dogs had brought in their regular burden of wood they crossed over at usual to Wilson for praise and petting and food Wilson pretended to be busy and he paid no attention to them They shifted their ground and faced him again wagging their tails and gazing expectant’ ly up into his Inattentive fat face Still the negro cook paid no heed to them at ail but went cm with his work After trying in a dozen ways ' - to attract his notice the dogs glanced worriedly ht each other as if con- : as to what might be best - to sulting do to punish such ingratitude Then they seemed to come to a decision both of them at the same' time Wheeling about as if by' word ' of military command they went ever " to the heap of sticks they had car- - ' ried in from the woodpile Each at them picked up a stick ’ ’ Solemnly they paced out Of the ’ kitchen into the yard and laid the sticks hack on the pile there Then ‘ they returned to the kitchen and picked up two more sticks which v they carried out as they had carried ’ the first two ' Without pausing ' they continued' ' this process until there was not a stick left In the kitchen The whole double burden had been restored to ' the woodpile Wilson pretended to keep on working while this transference was go--' lng on But his eyes were bulging with amazement As the last sticks were taken out to the pile he could contain himself no longer - He burst into a bellow of wonder- ’ lng laughter and called the two Indignant bird dogs back to the kltch- -en There he netted them and showered them with praise for their clev- - emess and ended up the proceedings bv giving them the best and biggest dinner they ever had had Civilly Hector and Bose accepted and the caresses Eagerly the ' thevpraise devoured the huge dinner They had earned 'it this day had earned ' It doubly But never again would they 'con- -
