however to the dog only wait a little you false friend you shall pay for thisl the next morning the wolf sent a challenge to the dog by his friend the wild boar who had promised to stand second they ap pointed to meet in the wood and poor old sultan had no one to stand by bun but a cat who had only three legs puss had how ever plenty of spirit although she hobbled emperor and i anoer buj turned

riley j along on three legs in great pain yet her tail stood erect as if she cared for no one in the world the wolf and the wild boar were already on the appointed spot but when they saw their adversaries approaching they thought that the oats tail was a sabre and that each time puss humped her back as she hopped it must be a large stone which sul tan intended to throwat them they were both so frightened that the wild boar crept in among the dried leaves and the wolf sprang up a tree the dog and cat were very much surprised when they reached the place to find no one there but the cat espied something on the ground which he took to be a mouse now the wild boar when he crept among the dried leaves to hide himself left the gray ears sticking oat and when the cat began to smell about she saw the ears move ana taking ono of them for a mcuse sprang forward caught the ear in her teeth and bit it in half the wild boar started up with c terrible icream exclaiming there is the real offonder up in the tree 1 and ran away as fast as bo could the dog oni cat looked up and saw the wolf who was asham ed of his cowardice and so angry with his pretended friend who had betrayed him that he came down from the tree and made friends tviththe catani dog from that mo ment old sultan and his friends a country man once had a faithful hound who was called saltan and who had grown old in his service he bad lost all his teeth and could no longer follow with the paok one day the countryman stood bofore the door with his wife and said to her old sultan is no longer of any use i shall shoot him tomorrow i but sultans mistress who had great pity for the faithful animal exclaimed how can we destroy him after he has served us so many years and lived with us so long i i am sure we could spare him some allowances for his old age j i no no replied her husband that is not just reasoning he has not a tooth ia bis head and is of no further nee in keeping away the thieves for they are not afraid of blm so he might as well go if he has served up well so has he also been well fed and could eat as much as ho wanted tho poor dog who was lying stretched cut in the son not very far off heard all that was said and it made him very cad to know that tho morrow would be the last day of his life now sultan had ia very good friend a wolf who lived near so in the evening he slipped cut intothe forest to viait him and complained to him of the fate which await ed him m sr tlylj listen grandfather said thewo take courage i will help you oat of your trouble i have thought of something to morrow early your matter and his wife are going out into tho fields haymaking and they will take their little child with them while they are at work they will put the child under the hedge in the shadow yon lay yourself by him as if you meant to watca j him i will wait till all la quiet and then i will mn out of the wood seizs the ohild and carry it away then you must spring after me with the greatest zeal as you used to do in your hunting days i willlot the ohild fall and you shall bring it back to its parents again and they will believe that you hive saved it from me and will be the more thankful because they intended to kill you instead of that you will bo in fall favour and nothing will ever causo them to give you up v v tho dog followed this advice audi as it had been planned so it was accomplished the father screamed as he saw the wolf running away with tho child through tho woods but when poor old saltan brought it back hi joy and gratitude knew no bounds ho stroked and patted the old dog saying nothing shall ever hurt you now you dear old dog and yon shall never want food and shelter as long as yon lire to bis wife he said go homo at once wife and cook some broad and milk for poor old sultan it is soft and will not require strong teeth to bite it and bring the pillow from my arm chair ho shall have it ior a bod and so frcm this time old sultan had every comfort and contentment that his heart conld wish by and by sultan went to pay the wolf a viait and told him joyfully of his gool fortune grandfather he said slylv i suppose i now yon will shut your eyes and not see if i carry away a fat sheep from your masters flock it is very hard to get food nowa days i cant kelp that said tho dog my muter trusts in me and i daro not allow you to touch his property the

to the house of a friend three miles away he left home early in the morning he presented the bird to one of the child ren and it was put into a cage and hung at the window where it seemed likely to be contented losing its fright after a few hours late iu the afternoon an old bird was norjoed fluttering about the cge apparently trying to get at the little one and the young bird at once became frautio to get out the old bird waa evidently the mothe o th young one the recognition between them was too cordial to leave any doubt upon that point j and when the girl opened the cage as she did after a little thoy bothflew off rapidly in the direction of the place from which tho little one had boen brought it was beltevod impossible that tho old bird ahould have followed the gardener as in
