to get away. His leg was brok

[Aherns-2]

Ch. If he had been kind to me, I would have done anything for him. I
loved to wait on Miss Laura and Mrs. Morris, and they taught both Billy
and me to make ourselves useful about the house. Mrs. Morris didn't like
going up and down the three long staircases, and sometimes we just raced
up and down, waiting on her. How often I have heard her go into the hall
and say, "Please send me down a clean duster, Laura. Joe, you get it." I
would run gayly up the steps, and then would come Billy's turn. "Billy,

pair of her boots on a ragged child in the gutter. I must say a word
about Billy's tail before I close this chapter. It is the custom to cut
the ends of fox terrier's tails, but leave their ears untouched. Billy
came to Miss Laura so young that his tail had not been cut off, and she

said, "You have made a fine-looking dog of him, b
