No ono responded, re-sponded, ho repeated tho Invitation. ' Como along," he pleaded. "Come up and give mo your hand." Thinking the Invitation wot Intended for her, Jess Jumped off tha bench on which she was titling, trotted down tho alslo and, reaching tho minister, stopped In front of htm, raised herself an her haunches and extended her paw. The man of Clod took no notice of the dog but nearly every other person In the house did, and tha solmen and sublime gave place to the laughable and ridiculous. ridicu-lous. Seeing that nobody waa going to tbako handt with her, Jess, very much disgusted, trotted back to her teat. |
