very edge of tumbledown breakwater Ho was looking seaward He was evidently old and ho was scarier by many fights his sunken mouth from which ho had lost many teeth showed that ho would not fight again victoriously He was from a lifetime of in sufficient food hut he had the air of a dog who is loved Sometimes ho turned from his At the sea and glanced behind him at child sitting in a wheelbarrow a fceb away Every ho glanced thus he slightly wagged his stump of a tail and the child smiled or she said in a soft voice Good Boss And then Boss waged harder but he could not give much attention to his companion for Ills whole heart was with that bent old woman who was up to her waist in the water at the outer most ledge It was there that the Irish moss grew and at low tide the woman could gather it She thrust her arm down to the shoulder each time for her handful of moss She was wet sodden wet save for a small place across her back She had a mans straw hat fastened by a small rope tightly tied under her chin Her face looked a hundred years old it was in truth old seamed and leathery and it was a face loved to look at Every few moments she raised her head and put her dripping hand up over her eyes as she turned toward the land she was at first dazzled by the glare of the water When she looked up thus little girl in the wheel barrow always waved her hat then a dim smile would come in the faded eyes Its jest of her lots of good she would say aloud Im awful glad I wheeled her down I wish now Id brought her down during this summer Twice as she looked shoreward she called out shrilly Boss you take care of her wont you Boss Then Boss pricked up his ears and shook his tail and the girl laughed and said she guessed Boss could along firstrate Were to it aint we When she said this the dog got up came to her side gave a swift lick across the face then hurried back and sat down on the edge of the planks again Once the woman out in the water slipped and fell splashing and Boss jumped up whining in a piteous quiver and would not be comforted even when the child said soothingly Never mind old fellow But when the woman floundered to her feet again and cried All right the dog sat down Still he frequently gave a little whine under his breath He was thinking that this was the first summer that he had not gone out mossing with dearest friend and he could not understand why he was so stiff and clumsy that he was unable to run over the slippery rocks and keep close to her Something was the matter with his tegs and with the whole of him somehow and he could not get over the rocks Was it the same thing that kept him from gnawing bones And he liked them just as well as ever He noticed that the young dog that lived down the road could bones without any trouble It was all very mysterious When he lay in the un near where the moss was drying dozing and snap ping at the flies he often looked as if he were thinking of all these things And what did the girls grand mother mean only yesterday when she stroked head and said Poor old Boss Youre old jes I be be no kind of a place round this house Bobs He had nuzzled his head under her hand when she had spoken thus but he didnt understand How pleasant this bright da was with its sunny gentle east wind a wind that brought sweet salt from the ocean The child sniffed the embracing odor and stretched out her hands smiling happily To be sure she not walk but granny often wheeled her to the break water where she could see the moss gathered It was a low course of tides and now the water had gone far out so that one could get to the ledges whore the moss grew had no boat as most of the had there wore now along and little Molly could see tho men put their long- handled rakes down and draw them up full She know that these men made more money than her grand mother but then she didnt know much about money Some of the neighbors often said that they them selves could not afford to keep a dog said this granny shut her lips tight end first chance she had she would stroke the dogs head I guess they dont know much about a dog she told Molly I guess longs we have anything to eat Boss II have some of it Eh old feller Molly sank back on her pillow in the barrow She mused herself by al most closing her eyes so that the sea seemed to come up nearer and in sparks of fire Then she would open her lids wide and tho great of water would flash on her vision She played at this for a long time and always in front of her was the dog she had grown up in conviction that all were well if he was near Soon everything grew dim and then clear and the salt smell was sweeter and she was walking over the hard sand as straight as anybody holding her head up strongly She did not know she was asleep It was real to her that she was walking Suddenly she sat upright in tho barrow clutching the sides of it Boss was not there Had he barked Or had some one called She look ed off the ledge She saw Boss leap ing frantically over the weedy rocks Ho went as if he were possessed He seemed not to leap but to fly from one rock to another over the still green pools Molly could only see the dog and beyond him shining water Where was granny The child tried to scream but she felt as if in a nightmare and could not make a sound Oh there was something down be tween the rocks on the far side of the ledge It was there that Boss was going And there was the in his boat putting down his rake just as he had been doing when the child had gone to sleep For an instant she thought she was dreaming But Boss was gone and yes there was something among the rocks it was grannys hat sticking up and it did not move Molly tried again to scream and it was as if her heart would break in the trying Her voice was only a hoarse kind of a whisper But there Bosa reached his friend He tried to pull her out Between hie lips he barked he howled nay he screamed Was hie heart breaking also At last the out there held his rake just above the water and gazed toward the shore listening The wind was off the sea and sounds from the land did not come clearly The man saw little Molly on the breakwater Had she cried out and was that the dog carrying on so on the rocks Boss was down by the still figure that was lying in the shallow pool He was struggling with it making frantic efforts to pull it from water Outlined on the breakwater against the dazzle of the blue sky the man saw Molly rise up in her barrow as if she would walk and then fall back again Good God he cried He drop ped the rake into the water caught up his oars and rowed to the ledge All the time he rowed he saw old Mrs motionless form lying there and the dog trying to her As he stepped out of bis boat and began slipping and jumping over the rooks the woman moved and raised her head He saw her reach out her hand to the dog he saw the dog throw himself down and her face eagerly That you Jim she asked I Ive broke my leg I slipped Ive mossed year n I never slipped to speak of before She spoke tremblingly but with pride I spoao I must of fainted or something Ill get you right into the boat said Jim briskly and take you home in no time Boss stood close by watching the man It was not easy to get her into the boat and she winced and grew pale but so helped all she could and made no sound When she was in at last Jim took up his oars to go around to the sandy landing There stood shivering on a rook All at once he appeared mis- tell old older than over it seemed as if ho could hardly stand Take him too said the No let him walk I want you to take I you almost fiercely Hes too and stiff to walk on rocks Old I with a laugh You soon him going it after you The man began to row Tears came into Mrs Townes eyes Her voice was choked Youve got to take him she said or you neednt take me Oh if you feel like that Jim lifted the dog into the boat and Boss crouched down by friend who put her hand on him He leaned more and more heavily on her his eyes were fixed on her face Lying there on the wot moss in the bottom of the boat she could look without moving into the dogs face He slowly put his tongue out on her fingers He pressed yet closer With a curiously quick movement she managed to draw him nearer She bent her head to his head He lays too hard on ye said Jim pull him away Dont touch him she cried in a sharp voice The next moment she said hoarse- Hes dead One Hundred Ago The New Orleans Times Democrat has been collecting some interesting facts of the customs current in the United States one hundred years ago Every gentleman wore a

And how much will you pay me Whatever your time is worth But how will you decide that she demanded Oh its very easily done he an swered Lets find the valuation you put on it first Id value it at about a dollar a minute she returned promptly You never Have showed any indi- cations of doing anything like that yet he said Well just figure it out Now yesterday you and your mother went down town didnt you Yes We went down town to get some cloth for a gown But what has that to do with it I heard you say that found just exactly what you wanted at the first place you stopped but that they asked too
