+A DOG'S TALE
+
+by Mark Twain
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER I
+
+My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+Presbyterian.  This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+distinctions myself.  To me they are only fine large words meaning
+nothing.  My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and
+see other dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so
+much education.  But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only
+show: she got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room
+when there was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school
+and listening there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over
+to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a
+dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and
+surprise and distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which
+rewarded her for all her trouble.  If there was a stranger he was nearly
+sure to be suspicious, and when he got his breath again he would ask her
+what it meant.  And she always told him.  He was never expecting this but
+thought he would catch her; so when she told him, he was the one that
+looked ashamed, whereas he had thought it was going to be she.  The
+others were always waiting for this, and glad of it and proud of her, for
+they knew what was going to happen, because they had had experience.
+When she told the meaning of a big word they were all so taken up with
+admiration that it never occurred to any dog to doubt if it was the right
+one; and that was natural, because, for one thing, she answered up so
+promptly that it seemed like a dictionary speaking, and for another
+thing, where could they find out whether it was right or not? for she was
+the only cultivated dog there was.  By and by, when I was older, she
+brought home the word Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard
+all the week at different gatherings, making much unhappiness and
+despondency; and it was at this time that I noticed that during that week
+she was asked for the meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed
+out a fresh definition every time, which showed me that she had more
+presence of mind than culture, though I said nothing, of course.  She had
+one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver,
+a kind of emergency word to strap on when she was likely to get washed
+overboard in a sudden way--that was the word Synonymous.  When she
+happened to fetch out a long word which had had its day weeks before and
+its prepared meanings gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger
+there of course it knocked him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he
+would come to, and by that time she would be away down wind on another
+tack, and not expecting anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash
+in, I (the only dog on the inside of her game) could see her canvas
+flicker a moment--but only just a moment--then it would belly out taut
+and full, and she would say, as calm as a summer's day, “It's synonymous
+with supererogation,” or some godless long reptile of a word like that,
+and go placidly about and skim away on the next tack, perfectly
+comfortable, you know, and leave that stranger looking profane and
+embarrassed, and the initiated slatting the floor with their tails in
+unison and their faces transfigured with a holy joy.
+
+And it was the same with phrases.  She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and
+explain it a new way every time--which she had to, for all she cared for
+was the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those
+dogs hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway.  Yes, she was a daisy!  She
+got so she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the
+ignorance of those creatures.  She even brought anecdotes that she had
+heard the family and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a
+rule she got the nub of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut,
+where, of course, it didn't fit and hadn't any point; and when she
+delivered the nub she fell over and rolled on the floor and laughed and
+barked in the most insane way, while I could see that she was wondering
+to herself why it didn't seem as funny as it did when she first heard it.
+But no harm was done; the others rolled and barked too, privately ashamed
+of themselves for not seeing the point, and never suspecting that the
+fault was not with them and there wasn't any to see.
+
+You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think.  She
+had a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for
+injuries done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them;
+and she taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also
+to be brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face
+the peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we
+could without stopping to think what the cost might be to us.  And she
+taught us not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and
+the surest and the most lasting.  Why, the brave things she did, the
+splendid things! she was just a soldier; and so modest about it--well,
+you couldn't help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not
+even a King Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her
+society.  So, as you see, there was more to her than her education.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER II
+
+When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never
+saw her again.  She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but
+she comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this
+world for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without
+repining, take our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of
+others, and never mind about the results; they were not our affair.  She
+said men who did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and
+by in another world, and although we animals would not go there, to do
+well and right without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness
+and dignity which in itself would be a reward.  She had gathered these
+things from time to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the
+children, and had laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had
+done with those other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply,
+for her good and ours.  One may see by this that she had a wise and
+thoughtful head, for all there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+
+So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+tears; and the last thing she said--keeping it for the last to make me
+remember it the better, I think--was, “In memory of me, when there is a
+time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your mother,
+and do as she would do.”
+
+Do you think I could forget that?  No.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III
+
+It was such a charming home!--my new one; a fine great house, with
+pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden--oh,
+greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end!  And I was the same as
+a member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not
+give me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me
+because my mother had given it me--Aileen Mavourneen.  She got it out of
+a song; and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+
+Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender
+little copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks;
+and the baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and
+never could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and
+laughing out its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and
+tall and slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in
+his movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with
+that kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+frosty intellectuality!  He was a renowned scientist.  I do not know what
+the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+look sorry he came.  But that is not the best one; the best one was
+Laboratory.  My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+the tax-collars off the whole herd.  The laboratory was not a book, or a
+picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+said--no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different, and is
+filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and strange
+machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in the
+place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might,
+I was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+
+Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby
+was asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs;
+other times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with
+Sadie till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of
+a tree while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the
+neighbor dogs--for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and
+one very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish
+setter by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and
+belonged to the Scotch minister.
+
+The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and
+so, as you see, mine was a pleasant life.  There could not be a happier
+dog that I was, nor a gratefuller one.  I will say this for myself, for
+it is only the truth:  I tried in all ways to do well and right, and
+honor my mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that
+had come to me, as best I could.
+
+By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness
+was perfect.  It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and
+soft and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did.  It did seem to
+me that life was just too lovely to--
+
+Then came the winter.  One day I was standing a watch in the nursery.
+That is to say, I was asleep on the bed.  The baby was asleep in the
+crib, which was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace.  It
+was the kind of crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff
+that you can see through.  The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were
+alone.  A spark from the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope
+of the tent.  I suppose a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the
+baby awoke me, and there was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling!
+Before I could think, I sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second
+was half-way to the door; but in the next half-second my mother's
+farewell was sounding in my ears, and I was back on the bed again.
+I reached my head through the flames and dragged the baby out by the
+waist-band, and tugged it along, and we fell to the floor together in a
+cloud of smoke; I snatched a new hold, and dragged the screaming little
+creature along and out at the door and around the bend of the hall, and
+was still tugging away, all excited and happy and proud, when the
+master's voice shouted:
+
+“Begone you cursed beast!” and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his
+cane, I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow
+fell upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+helpless; the cane went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+nurse's voice rang wildly out, “The nursery's on fire!” and the master
+rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+
+The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of
+the hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+people seldom went.  I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest
+place I could find.  It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was;
+so afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have
+been such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know.
+But I could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+
+For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again.  Quiet for some
+minutes, and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to
+go down; and fears are worse than pains--oh, much worse.  Then came a
+sound that froze me.  They were calling me--calling me by name--hunting
+for me!
+
+It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard.  It went
+all about, everywhere, down there:  along the halls, through all the
+rooms, in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside,
+and farther and farther away--then back, and all about the house again,
+and I thought it would never, never stop.  But at last it did, hours and
+hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted
+out by black darkness.
+
+Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+I was at peace and slept.  It was a good rest I had, but I woke before
+the twilight had come again.  I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I
+could think out a plan now.  I made a very good one; which was, to creep
+down, all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door,
+and slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+journey when night came; my journey to--well, anywhere where they would
+not know me and betray me to the master.  I was feeling almost cheerful
+now; then suddenly I thought:  Why, what would life be without my puppy!
+
+That was despair.  There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must stay where
+I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come--it was not my affair;
+that was what life is--my mother had said it.  Then--well, then the
+calling began again!  All my sorrows came back.  I said to myself, the
+master will never forgive.  I did not know what I had done to make him so
+bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could not
+understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+
+They called and called--days and nights, it seemed to me.  So long that
+the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+getting very weak.  When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+did.  Once I woke in an awful fright--it seemed to me that the calling
+was right there in the garret!  And so it was:  it was Sadie's voice, and
+she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+
+“Come back to us--oh, come back to us, and forgive--it is all so sad
+without our--”
+
+I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie
+was plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and
+shouting for the family to hear, “She's found, she's found!”
+
+ The days that followed--well, they were wonderful.  The mother and Sadie
+and the servants--why, they just seemed to worship me.  They couldn't
+seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+about my heroism--that was the name they called it by, and it means
+agriculture.  I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+risked my life to say the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about
+me, and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and
+when the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going
+to cry.
+
+And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory,
+and discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said
+it was wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they
+could call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, “It's far above
+instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish;” and then
+he laughed, and said:  “Why, look at me--I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+all my grand intelligence, the only thing I inferred was that the dog had
+gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+intelligence--it's REASON, I tell you!--the child would have perished!”
+
+They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+me; it would have made her proud.
+
+Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+Sadie and I had planted seeds--I helped her dig the holes, you know--and
+after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was
+a wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk--I
+would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+sleep.
+
+Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and
+counted the days and waited for the family.
+
+And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+of course.  They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+
+“There, I've won--confess it!  He's as blind as a bat!”
+
+And they all said:
+
+“It's so--you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you a
+great debt from henceforth,” and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+
+But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart
+it was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's
+touch, though it could not see me.  Then it dropped down, presently, and
+its little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did
+not move any more.
+
+Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+said, “Bury it in the far corner of the garden,” and then went on with
+the discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful,
+for I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep.  We
+went far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the
+nurse and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a
+great elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to
+plant the puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine
+handsome dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the
+family when they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg
+was no good, being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no
+use.  When the footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he
+patted my head, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said:  “Poor
+little doggie, you saved HIS child!”
+
+I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up!  This last week a
+fright has been stealing upon me.  I think there is something terrible
+about this.  I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet
+me so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, “Poor doggie--do
+give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!” and all this terrifies
+me the more, and makes me sure something has happened.  And I am so weak;
+since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore.  And within this hour
+the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight
+and the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but
+they carried something cold to my heart.
+
+“Those poor creatures!  They do not suspect.  They will come home in the
+morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them:  'The
+humble little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'”

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+    <p>
+      My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+      Presbyterian. This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+      distinctions myself. To me they are only fine large words meaning nothing.
+      My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and see other
+      dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so much
+      education. But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only show: she
+      got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room when there
+      was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school and listening
+      there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself
+      many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic
+      gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and surprise and
+      distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which rewarded her for all
+      her trouble. If there was a stranger he was nearly sure to be suspicious,
+      and when he got his breath again he would ask her what it meant. And she
+      always told him. He was never expecting this but thought he would catch
+      her; so when she told him, he was the one that looked ashamed, whereas he
+      had thought it was going to be she. The others were always waiting for
+      this, and glad of it and proud of her, for they knew what was going to
+      happen, because they had had experience. When she told the meaning of a
+      big word they were all so taken up with admiration that it never occurred
+      to any dog to doubt if it was the right one; and that was natural,
+      because, for one thing, she answered up so promptly that it seemed like a
+      dictionary speaking, and for another thing, where could they find out
+      whether it was right or not? for she was the only cultivated dog there
+      was. By and by, when I was older, she brought home the word
+      Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard all the week at
+      different gatherings, making much unhappiness and despondency; and it was
+      at this time that I noticed that during that week she was asked for the
+      meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed out a fresh definition
+      every time, which showed me that she had more presence of mind than
+      culture, though I said nothing, of course. She had one word which she
+      always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver, a kind of emergency
+      word to strap on when she was likely to get washed overboard in a sudden
+      way&mdash;that was the word Synonymous. When she happened to fetch out a
+      long word which had had its day weeks before and its prepared meanings
+      gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger there of course it knocked
+      him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he would come to, and by that
+      time she would be away down wind on another tack, and not expecting
+      anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash in, I (the only dog on the
+      inside of her game) could see her canvas flicker a moment&mdash;but only
+      just a moment&mdash;then it would belly out taut and full, and she would
+      say, as calm as a summer's day, &ldquo;It's synonymous with supererogation,&rdquo; or
+      some godless long reptile of a word like that, and go placidly about and
+      skim away on the next tack, perfectly comfortable, you know, and leave
+      that stranger looking profane and embarrassed, and the initiated slatting
+      the floor with their tails in unison and their faces transfigured with a
+      holy joy.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And it was the same with phrases. She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+      it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and explain
+      it a new way every time&mdash;which she had to, for all she cared for was
+      the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those dogs
+      hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway. Yes, she was a daisy! She got so
+      she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the ignorance of
+      those creatures. She even brought anecdotes that she had heard the family
+      and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a rule she got the nub
+      of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut, where, of course, it didn't
+      fit and hadn't any point; and when she delivered the nub she fell over and
+      rolled on the floor and laughed and barked in the most insane way, while I
+      could see that she was wondering to herself why it didn't seem as funny as
+      it did when she first heard it. But no harm was done; the others rolled
+      and barked too, privately ashamed of themselves for not seeing the point,
+      and never suspecting that the fault was not with them and there wasn't any
+      to see.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+      character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think. She had
+      a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for injuries
+      done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them; and she
+      taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also to be
+      brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face the
+      peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we could
+      without stopping to think what the cost might be to us. And she taught us
+      not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and the surest
+      and the most lasting. Why, the brave things she did, the splendid things!
+      she was just a soldier; and so modest about it&mdash;well, you couldn't
+      help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not even a King
+      Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her society. So, as
+      you see, there was more to her than her education.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

+      When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never saw
+      her again. She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but she
+      comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this world
+      for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without repining, take
+      our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of others, and
+      never mind about the results; they were not our affair. She said men who
+      did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and by in another
+      world, and although we animals would not go there, to do well and right
+      without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness and dignity
+      which in itself would be a reward. She had gathered these things from time
+      to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the children, and had
+      laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had done with those
+      other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply, for her good and
+      ours. One may see by this that she had a wise and thoughtful head, for all
+      there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+      tears; and the last thing she said&mdash;keeping it for the last to make
+      me remember it the better, I think&mdash;was, &ldquo;In memory of me, when there
+      is a time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your
+      mother, and do as she would do.&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      Do you think I could forget that? No.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It was such a charming home!&mdash;my new one; a fine great house, with
+      pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+      anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+      sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden&mdash;oh,
+      greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end! And I was the same as a
+      member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not give
+      me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me because my
+      mother had given it me&mdash;Aileen Mavourneen. She got it out of a song;
+      and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+      and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender little
+      copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks; and the
+      baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and never
+      could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and laughing out
+      its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and tall and
+      slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in his
+      movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with that
+      kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+      frosty intellectuality! He was a renowned scientist. I do not know what
+      the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+      She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+      look sorry he came. But that is not the best one; the best one was
+      Laboratory. My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+      the tax-collars off the whole herd. The laboratory was not a book, or a
+      picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+      said&mdash;no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different,
+      and is filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and
+      strange machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in
+      the place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+      experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+      listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+      memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+      losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might, I
+      was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+      gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+      caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+      and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby was
+      asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs; other
+      times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with Sadie
+      till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of a tree
+      while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the neighbor
+      dogs&mdash;for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and one
+      very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish setter
+      by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and belonged
+      to the Scotch minister.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and so,
+      as you see, mine was a pleasant life. There could not be a happier dog
+      that I was, nor a gratefuller one. I will say this for myself, for it is
+      only the truth: I tried in all ways to do well and right, and honor my
+      mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that had come to
+      me, as best I could.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness was
+      perfect. It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and soft
+      and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+      affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+      proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+      and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did. It did seem to me
+      that life was just too lovely to&mdash;<br /> <br />

+    <p>
+      <br /> <br />
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then came the winter. One day I was standing a watch in the nursery. That
+      is to say, I was asleep on the bed. The baby was asleep in the crib, which
+      was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace. It was the kind of
+      crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff that you can see
+      through. The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were alone. A spark from
+      the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope of the tent. I suppose
+      a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the baby awoke me, and there
+      was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling! Before I could think, I
+      sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second was half-way to the
+      door; but in the next half-second my mother's farewell was sounding in my
+      ears, and I was back on the bed again. I reached my head through the
+      flames and dragged the baby out by the waist-band, and tugged it along,
+      and we fell to the floor together in a cloud of smoke; I snatched a new
+      hold, and dragged the screaming little creature along and out at the door
+      and around the bend of the hall, and was still tugging away, all excited
+      and happy and proud, when the master's voice shouted:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Begone you cursed beast!&rdquo; and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+      furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his cane,
+      I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow fell
+      upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+      helpless; the cane went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+      nurse's voice rang wildly out, &ldquo;The nursery's on fire!&rdquo; and the master
+      rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+      come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of the
+      hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+      where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+      people seldom went. I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+      through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest place
+      I could find. It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was; so
+      afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have been
+      such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know. But I
+      could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+      rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again. Quiet for some minutes,
+      and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to go down;
+      and fears are worse than pains&mdash;oh, much worse. Then came a sound
+      that froze me. They were calling me&mdash;calling me by name&mdash;hunting
+      for me!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+      and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard. It went
+      all about, everywhere, down there: along the halls, through all the rooms,
+      in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside, and
+      farther and farther away&mdash;then back, and all about the house again,
+      and I thought it would never, never stop. But at last it did, hours and
+      hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted out
+      by black darkness.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+      I was at peace and slept. It was a good rest I had, but I woke before the
+      twilight had come again. I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I could
+      think out a plan now. I made a very good one; which was, to creep down,
+      all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door, and
+      slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+      filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+      journey when night came; my journey to&mdash;well, anywhere where they
+      would not know me and betray me to the master. I was feeling almost
+      cheerful now; then suddenly I thought: Why, what would life be without my
+      puppy!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      That was despair. There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must stay where
+      I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come&mdash;it was not my
+      affair; that was what life is&mdash;my mother had said it. Then&mdash;well,
+      then the calling began again! All my sorrows came back. I said to myself,
+      the master will never forgive. I did not know what I had done to make him
+      so bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could
+      not understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      They called and called&mdash;days and nights, it seemed to me. So long
+      that the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+      getting very weak. When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+      did. Once I woke in an awful fright&mdash;it seemed to me that the calling
+      was right there in the garret! And so it was: it was Sadie's voice, and
+      she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+      and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Come back to us&mdash;oh, come back to us, and forgive&mdash;it is all so
+      sad without our&mdash;&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie was
+      plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and shouting
+      for the family to hear, &ldquo;She's found, she's found!&rdquo;<br /> <br />
+    </p>

+    <p>
+      <br /> <br />
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The days that followed&mdash;well, they were wonderful. The mother and
+      Sadie and the servants&mdash;why, they just seemed to worship me. They
+      couldn't seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+      couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+      of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+      about my heroism&mdash;that was the name they called it by, and it means
+      agriculture. I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+      explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+      that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+      day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+      risked my life to save the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+      and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about me,
+      and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and when
+      the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+      changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+      that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going to
+      cry.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+      twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory, and
+      discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said it was
+      wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they could
+      call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, &ldquo;It's far above
+      instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+      you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+      that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish;&rdquo; and then he
+      laughed, and said: &ldquo;Why, look at me&mdash;I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+      all my grand intelligence, the only thing I inferred was that the dog had
+      gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+      intelligence&mdash;it's REASON, I tell you!&mdash;the child would have
+      perished!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+      all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+      me; it would have made her proud.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+      injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+      agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+      next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+      Sadie and I had planted seeds&mdash;I helped her dig the holes, you know&mdash;and
+      after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was a
+      wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk&mdash;I
+      would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+      been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+      dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+      sleep.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+      sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+      away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+      company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+      servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and counted
+      the days and waited for the family.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+      took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+      feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+      of course. They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+      shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+      with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;There, I've won&mdash;confess it! He's as blind as a bat!&rdquo;
+     </p>
+    <p>
+      And they all said:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;It's so&mdash;you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you
+      a great debt from henceforth,&rdquo; and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+      hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+      darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+      it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart it
+      was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's touch,
+      though it could not see me. Then it dropped down, presently, and its
+      little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did not
+      move any more.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+      said, &ldquo;Bury it in the far corner of the garden,&rdquo; and then went on with the
+      discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful, for
+      I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep. We went
+      far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the nurse
+      and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a great
+      elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to plant the
+      puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine handsome
+      dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the family when
+      they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg was no good,
+      being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no use. When the
+      footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he patted my head, and
+      there were tears in his eyes, and he said: &ldquo;Poor little doggie, you saved
+      HIS child!&rdquo;<br /> <br />

+      I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up! This last week a
+      fright has been stealing upon me. I think there is something terrible
+      about this. I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+      cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet me
+      so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, &ldquo;Poor doggie&mdash;do
+      give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!&rdquo; and all this terrifies
+      me the more, and makes me sure something has happened. And I am so weak;
+      since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore. And within this hour
+      the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight and
+      the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but they
+      carried something cold to my heart.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      &ldquo;Those poor creatures! They do not suspect. They will come home in the
+      morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+      and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them: 'The humble
+      little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br />

+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  &ldquo;Project Gutenberg&rdquo; is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (&ldquo;the Foundation&rdquo;
+ or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase &ldquo;Project Gutenberg&rdquo; associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he

+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.&rdquo;
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+&ldquo;Defects,&rdquo; such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the &ldquo;Right
+of Replacement or Refund&rdquo; described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+      My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+      Presbyterian. This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+      distinctions myself. To me they are only fine large words meaning nothing.
+      My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and see other
+      dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so much
+      education. But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only show: she
+      got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room when there
+      was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school and listening
+      there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself
+      many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic
+      gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and surprise and
+      distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which rewarded her for all
+      her trouble. If there was a stranger he was nearly sure to be suspicious,
+      and when he got his breath again he would ask her what it meant. And she
+      always told him. He was never expecting this but thought he would catch
+      her; so when she told him, he was the one that looked ashamed, whereas he
+      had thought it was going to be she. The others were always waiting for
+      this, and glad of it and proud of her, for they knew what was going to
+      happen, because they had had experience. When she told the meaning of a
+      big word they were all so taken up with admiration that it never occurred
+      to any dog to doubt if it was the right one; and that was natural,
+      because, for one thing, she answered up so promptly that it seemed like a
+      dictionary speaking, and for another thing, where could they find out
+      whether it was right or not? for she was the only cultivated dog there
+      was. By and by, when I was older, she brought home the word
+      Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard all the week at
+      different gatherings, making much unhappiness and despondency; and it was
+      at this time that I noticed that during that week she was asked for the
+      meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed out a fresh definition
+      every time, which showed me that she had more presence of mind than
+      culture, though I said nothing, of course. She had one word which she
+      always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver, a kind of emergency
+      word to strap on when she was likely to get washed overboard in a sudden
+      way&mdash;that was the word Synonymous. When she happened to fetch out a
+      long word which had had its day weeks before and its prepared meanings
+      gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger there of course it knocked
+      him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he would come to, and by that
+      time she would be away down wind on another tack, and not expecting
+      anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash in, I (the only dog on the
+      inside of her game) could see her canvas flicker a moment&mdash;but only
+      just a moment&mdash;then it would belly out taut and full, and she would
+      say, as calm as a summer's day, "It's synonymous with supererogation," or
+      some godless long reptile of a word like that, and go placidly about and
+      skim away on the next tack, perfectly comfortable, you know, and leave
+      that stranger looking profane and embarrassed, and the initiated slatting
+      the floor with their tails in unison and their faces transfigured with a
+      holy joy.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And it was the same with phrases. She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+      it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and explain
+      it a new way every time&mdash;which she had to, for all she cared for was
+      the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those dogs
+      hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway. Yes, she was a daisy! She got so
+      she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the ignorance of
+      those creatures. She even brought anecdotes that she had heard the family
+      and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a rule she got the nub
+      of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut, where, of course, it didn't
+      fit and hadn't any point; and when she delivered the nub she fell over and
+      rolled on the floor and laughed and barked in the most insane way, while I
+      could see that she was wondering to herself why it didn't seem as funny as
+      it did when she first heard it. But no harm was done; the others rolled
+      and barked too, privately ashamed of themselves for not seeing the point,
+      and never suspecting that the fault was not with them and there wasn't any
+      to see.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+      character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think. She had
+      a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for injuries
+      done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them; and she
+      taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also to be
+      brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face the
+      peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we could
+      without stopping to think what the cost might be to us. And she taught us
+      not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and the surest
+      and the most lasting. Why, the brave things she did, the splendid things!
+      she was just a soldier; and so modest about it&mdash;well, you couldn't
+      help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not even a King
+      Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her society. So, as
+      you see, there was more to her than her education.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

+      When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never saw
+      her again. She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but she
+      comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this world
+      for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without repining, take
+      our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of others, and
+      never mind about the results; they were not our affair. She said men who
+      did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and by in another
+      world, and although we animals would not go there, to do well and right
+      without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness and dignity
+      which in itself would be a reward. She had gathered these things from time
+      to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the children, and had
+      laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had done with those
+      other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply, for her good and
+      ours. One may see by this that she had a wise and thoughtful head, for all
+      there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+      tears; and the last thing she said&mdash;keeping it for the last to make
+      me remember it the better, I think&mdash;was, "In memory of me, when there
+      is a time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your
+      mother, and do as she would do."
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Do you think I could forget that? No.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

+      It was such a charming home!&mdash;my new one; a fine great house, with
+      pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+      anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+      sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden&mdash;oh,
+      greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end! And I was the same as a
+      member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not give
+      me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me because my
+      mother had given it me&mdash;Aileen Mavourneen. She got it out of a song;
+      and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+      and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender little
+      copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks; and the
+      baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and never
+      could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and laughing out
+      its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and tall and
+      slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in his
+      movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with that
+      kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+      frosty intellectuality! He was a renowned scientist. I do not know what
+      the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+      She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+      look sorry he came. But that is not the best one; the best one was
+      Laboratory. My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+      the tax-collars off the whole herd. The laboratory was not a book, or a
+      picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+      said&mdash;no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different,
+      and is filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and
+      strange machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in
+      the place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+      experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+      listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+      memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+      losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might, I
+      was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+      gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+      caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+      and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby was
+      asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs; other
+      times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with Sadie
+      till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of a tree
+      while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the neighbor
+      dogs&mdash;for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and one
+      very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish setter
+      by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and belonged
+      to the Scotch minister.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and so,
+      as you see, mine was a pleasant life. There could not be a happier dog
+      that I was, nor a gratefuller one. I will say this for myself, for it is
+      only the truth: I tried in all ways to do well and right, and honor my
+      mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that had come to
+      me, as best I could.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness was
+      perfect. It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and soft
+      and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+      affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+      proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+      and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did. It did seem to me
+      that life was just too lovely to&mdash;<br /> <br />

+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then came the winter. One day I was standing a watch in the nursery. That
+      is to say, I was asleep on the bed. The baby was asleep in the crib, which
+      was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace. It was the kind of
+      crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff that you can see
+      through. The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were alone. A spark from
+      the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope of the tent. I suppose
+      a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the baby awoke me, and there
+      was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling! Before I could think, I
+      sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second was half-way to the
+      door; but in the next half-second my mother's farewell was sounding in my
+      ears, and I was back on the bed again. I reached my head through the
+      flames and dragged the baby out by the waist-band, and tugged it along,
+      and we fell to the floor together in a cloud of smoke; I snatched a new
+      hold, and dragged the screaming little creature along and out at the door
+      and around the bend of the hall, and was still tugging away, all excited
+      and happy and proud, when the master's voice shouted:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Begone you cursed beast!" and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+      furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his cane,
+      I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow fell
+      upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+      helpless; the cane went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+      nurse's voice rang wildly out, "The nursery's on fire!" and the master
+      rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+      come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of the
+      hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+      where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+      people seldom went. I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+      through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest place
+      I could find. It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was; so
+      afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have been
+      such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know. But I
+      could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+      rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again. Quiet for some minutes,
+      and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to go down;
+      and fears are worse than pains&mdash;oh, much worse. Then came a sound
+      that froze me. They were calling me&mdash;calling me by name&mdash;hunting
+      for me!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+      and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard. It went
+      all about, everywhere, down there: along the halls, through all the rooms,
+      in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside, and
+      farther and farther away&mdash;then back, and all about the house again,
+      and I thought it would never, never stop. But at last it did, hours and
+      hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted out
+      by black darkness.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+      I was at peace and slept. It was a good rest I had, but I woke before the
+      twilight had come again. I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I could
+      think out a plan now. I made a very good one; which was, to creep down,
+      all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door, and
+      slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+      filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+      journey when night came; my journey to&mdash;well, anywhere where they
+      would not know me and betray me to the master. I was feeling almost
+      cheerful now; then suddenly I thought: Why, what would life be without my
+      puppy!
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      That was despair. There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must stay where
+      I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come&mdash;it was not my
+      affair; that was what life is&mdash;my mother had said it. Then&mdash;well,
+      then the calling began again! All my sorrows came back. I said to myself,
+      the master will never forgive. I did not know what I had done to make him
+      so bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could
+      not understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      They called and called&mdash;days and nights, it seemed to me. So long
+      that the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+      getting very weak. When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+      did. Once I woke in an awful fright&mdash;it seemed to me that the calling
+      was right there in the garret! And so it was: it was Sadie's voice, and
+      she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+      and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Come back to us&mdash;oh, come back to us, and forgive&mdash;it is all so
+      sad without our&mdash;"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie was
+      plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and shouting
+      for the family to hear, "She's found, she's found!"<br /> <br />
+    </p>
+    <p>

+    <p>
+      <br /> <br />
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      The days that followed&mdash;well, they were wonderful. The mother and
+      Sadie and the servants&mdash;why, they just seemed to worship me. They
+      couldn't seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+      couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+      of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+      about my heroism&mdash;that was the name they called it by, and it means
+      agriculture. I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+      explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+      that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+      day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+      risked my life to save the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+      and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about me,
+      and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and when
+      the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+      changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+      that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going to
+      cry.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+      twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory, and
+      discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said it was
+      wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they could
+      call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, "It's far above
+      instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+      you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+      that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish;" and then he
+      laughed, and said: "Why, look at me&mdash;I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+      all my grand intelligence, the only thing I inferred was that the dog had
+      gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+      intelligence&mdash;it's REASON, I tell you!&mdash;the child would have
+      perished!"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+      all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+      me; it would have made her proud.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+      injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+      agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+      next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+      Sadie and I had planted seeds&mdash;I helped her dig the holes, you know&mdash;and
+      after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was a
+      wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk&mdash;I
+      would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+      been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+      dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+      sleep.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+      sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+      away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+      company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+      servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and counted
+      the days and waited for the family.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+      took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+      feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+      of course. They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+      shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+      with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "There, I've won&mdash;confess it! He's as blind as a bat!"
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And they all said:
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "It's so&mdash;you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you
+      a great debt from henceforth," and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+      hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+      darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+      it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart it
+      was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's touch,
+      though it could not see me. Then it dropped down, presently, and its
+      little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did not
+      move any more.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+      said, "Bury it in the far corner of the garden," and then went on with the
+      discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful, for
+      I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep. We went
+      far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the nurse
+      and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a great
+      elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to plant the
+      puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine handsome
+      dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the family when
+      they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg was no good,
+      being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no use. When the
+      footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he patted my head, and
+      there were tears in his eyes, and he said: "Poor little doggie, you saved
+      HIS child!"<br /> <br />

+      I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up! This last week a
+      fright has been stealing upon me. I think there is something terrible
+      about this. I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+      cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet me
+      so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, "Poor doggie&mdash;do
+      give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!" and all this terrifies
+      me the more, and makes me sure something has happened. And I am so weak;
+      since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore. And within this hour
+      the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight and
+      the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but they
+      carried something cold to my heart.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      "Those poor creatures! They do not suspect. They will come home in the
+      morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+      and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them: 'The humble
+      little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'"<br /> <br /> <br />

+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning

+States.

+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.net
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked

+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.net),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you

+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.

+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.net
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are usually created from multiple editions,
+all of which are in the Public Domain in the United States, unless a
+copyright notice is included.  Therefore, we usually do NOT keep any
+of these books in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to send us error messages even years after
+the official publication date.
+
+Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can surf to them as follows, and just download by date; this is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
+as it appears in our Newsletters.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release fifty new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 3000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 3,333 Etexts unless we
+manage to get some real funding.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!
+
+Presently, contributions are only being solicited from people in:
+Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
+Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Montana,
+Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota,

+A Dog's Tale
+
+by Mark Twain
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER I
+
+My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+Presbyterian.  This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+distinctions myself.  To me they are only fine large words meaning
+nothing.  My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and
+see other dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so
+much education.  But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only
+show: she got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room
+when there was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school
+and listening there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over
+to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a
+dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and
+surprise and distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which
+rewarded her for all her trouble.  If there was a stranger he was nearly
+sure to be suspicious, and when he got his breath again he would ask her
+what it meant.  And she always told him.  He was never expecting this but
+thought he would catch her; so when she told him, he was the one that
+looked ashamed, whereas he had thought it was going to be she.  The
+others were always waiting for this, and glad of it and proud of her, for
+they knew what was going to happen, because they had had experience.
+When she told the meaning of a big word they were all so taken up with
+admiration that it never occurred to any dog to doubt if it was the right
+one; and that was natural, because, for one thing, she answered up so
+promptly that it seemed like a dictionary speaking, and for another
+thing, where could they find out whether it was right or not? for she was
+the only cultivated dog there was.  By and by, when I was older, she
+brought home the word Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard
+all the week at different gatherings, making much unhappiness and
+despondency; and it was at this time that I noticed that during that week
+she was asked for the meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed
+out a fresh definition every time, which showed me that she had more
+presence of mind than culture, though I said nothing, of course.  She had
+one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver,
+a kind of emergency word to strap on when she was likely to get washed
+overboard in a sudden way--that was the word Synonymous.  When she
+happened to fetch out a long word which had had its day weeks before and
+its prepared meanings gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger
+there of course it knocked him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he
+would come to, and by that time she would be away down wind on another
+tack, and not expecting anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash
+in, I (the only dog on the inside of her game) could see her canvas
+flicker a moment-- but only just a moment--then it would belly out taut
+and full, and she would say, as calm as a summer's day, "It's synonymous
+with supererogation," or some godless long reptile of a word like that,
+and go placidly about and skim away on the next tack, perfectly
+comfortable, you know, and leave that stranger looking profane and
+embarrassed, and the initiated slatting the floor with their tails in
+unison and their faces transfigured with a holy joy.
+
+And it was the same with phrases.  She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and
+explain it a new way every time--which she had to, for all she cared for
+was the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those
+dogs hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway.  Yes, she was a daisy!  She
+got so she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the
+ignorance of those creatures.  She even brought anecdotes that she had
+heard the family and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a
+rule she got the nub of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut,
+where, of course, it didn't fit and hadn't any point; and when she
+delivered the nub she fell over and rolled on the floor and laughed and
+barked in the most insane way, while I could see that she was wondering
+to herself why it didn't seem as funny as it did when she first heard it.
+But no harm was done; the others rolled and barked too, privately ashamed
+of themselves for not seeing the point, and never suspecting that the
+fault was not with them and there wasn't any to see.
+
+You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think.  She
+had a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for
+injuries done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them;
+and she taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also
+to be brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face
+the peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we
+could without stopping to think what the cost might be to us.  And she
+taught us not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and
+the surest and the most lasting.  Why, the brave things she did, the
+splendid things! she was just a soldier; and so modest about it--well,
+you couldn't help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not
+even a King Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her
+society.  So, as you see, there was more to her than her education.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER II
+
+When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never
+saw her again.  She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but
+she comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this
+world for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without
+repining, take our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of
+others, and never mind about the results; they were not our affair.  She
+said men who did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and
+by in another world, and although we animals would not go there, to do
+well and right without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness
+and dignity which in itself would be a reward.  She had gathered these
+things from time to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the
+children, and had laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had
+done with those other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply,
+for her good and ours.  One may see by this that she had a wise and
+thoughtful head, for all there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+
+So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+tears; and the last thing she said--keeping it for the last to make me
+remember it the better, I think--was, "In memory of me, when there is a
+time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your mother,
+and do as she would do."
+
+Do you think I could forget that?  No.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III
+
+It was such a charming home!--my new one; a fine great house, with
+pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden--oh,
+greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end!  And I was the same as
+a member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not
+give me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me
+because my mother had given it me-- Aileen Mavourneen.  She got it out of
+a song; and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+
+Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender
+little copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks;
+and the baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and
+never could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and
+laughing out its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and
+tall and slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in
+his movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with
+that kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+frosty intellectuality!  He was a renowned scientist.  I do not know what
+the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+look sorry he came.  But that is not the best one; the best one was
+Laboratory.  My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+the tax-collars off the whole herd.  The laboratory was not a book, or a
+picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+said--no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different, and is
+filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and strange
+machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in the
+place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might,
+I was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+
+Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby
+was asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs;
+other times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with
+Sadie till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of
+a tree while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the
+neighbor dogs-- for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and
+one very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish
+setter by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and
+belonged to the Scotch minister.
+
+The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and
+so, as you see, mine was a pleasant life.  There could not be a happier
+dog that I was, nor a gratefuller one.  I will say this for myself, for
+it is only the truth:  I tried in all ways to do well and right, and
+honor my mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that
+had come to me, as best I could.
+
+By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness
+was perfect.  It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and
+soft and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did.  It did seem to
+me that life was just too lovely to--
+
+Then came the winter.  One day I was standing a watch in the nursery.
+That is to say, I was asleep on the bed.  The baby was asleep in the
+crib, which was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace.  It
+was the kind of crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff
+that you can see through.  The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were
+alone.  A spark from the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope
+of the tent.  I suppose a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the
+baby awoke me, and there was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling!
+Before I could think, I sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second
+was half-way to the door; but in the next half-second my mother's
+farewell was sounding in my ears, and I was back on the bed again.
+I reached my head through the flames and dragged the baby out by the
+waist-band, and tugged it along, and we fell to the floor together in a
+cloud of smoke; I snatched a new hold, and dragged the screaming little
+creature along and out at the door and around the bend of the hall, and
+was still tugging away, all excited and happy and proud, when the
+master's voice shouted:
+
+"Begone you cursed beast!" and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his
+cane, I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow
+fell upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+helpless; the came went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+nurse's voice rang wildly out, "The nursery's on fire!" and the master
+rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+
+The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of
+the hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+people seldom went.  I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest
+place I could find.  It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was;
+so afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have
+been such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know.
+But I could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+
+For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again.  Quiet for some
+minutes, and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to
+go down; and fears are worse than pains--oh, much worse.  Then came a
+sound that froze me.  They were calling me--calling me by name--hunting
+for me!
+
+It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard.  It went
+all about, everywhere, down there:  along the halls, through all the
+rooms, in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside,
+and farther and farther away--then back, and all about the house again,
+and I thought it would never, never stop.  But at last it did, hours and
+hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted
+out by black darkness.
+
+Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+I was at peace and slept.  It was a good rest I had, but I woke before
+the twilight had come again.  I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I
+could think out a plan now.  I made a very good one; which was, to creep
+down, all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door,
+and slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+journey when night came; my journey to--well, anywhere where they would
+not know me and betray me to the master.  I was feeling almost cheerful
+now; then suddenly I thought:  Why, what would life be without my puppy!
+
+That was despair.  There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must say where
+I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come--it was not my affair;
+that was what life is--my mother had said it.  Then--well, then the
+calling began again!  All my sorrows came back.  I said to myself, the
+master will never forgive.  I did not know what I had done to make him so
+bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could not
+understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+
+They called and called--days and nights, it seemed to me.  So long that
+the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+getting very weak.  When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+did.  Once I woke in an awful fright--it seemed to me that the calling
+was right there in the garret!  And so it was:  it was Sadie's voice, and
+she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+
+"Come back to us--oh, come back to us, and forgive--it is all so sad
+without our--"
+
+I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie
+was plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and
+shouting for the family to hear, "She's found, she's found!"
+
+ The days that followed--well, they were wonderful.  The mother and Sadie
+and the servants--why, they just seemed to worship me.  They couldn't
+seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+about my heroism--that was the name they called it by, and it means
+agriculture.  I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+risked my life to say the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about
+me, and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and
+when the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going
+to cry.
+
+And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory,
+and discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said
+it was wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they
+could call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, "It's far above
+instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish"; and then
+he laughed, and said:  "Why, look at me--I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+all my grand intelligence, the only think I inferred was that the dog had
+gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+intelligence--it's REASON, I tell you!--the child would have perished!"
+
+They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+me; it would have made her proud.
+
+Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+Sadie and I had planted seeds--I helped her dig the holes, you know--and
+after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was
+a wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk--I
+would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+dull, and when the came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+sleep.
+
+Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and
+counted the days and waited for the family.
+
+And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+of course.  They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+
+"There, I've won--confess it!  He's a blind as a bat!"
+
+And they all said:
+
+"It's so--you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you a
+great debt from henceforth," and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+
+But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart
+it was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's
+touch, though it could not see me.  Then it dropped down, presently, and
+its little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did
+not move any more.
+
+Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+said, "Bury it in the far corner of the garden," and then went on with
+the discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful,
+for I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep.  We
+went far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the
+nurse and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a
+great elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to
+plant the puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine
+handsome dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the
+family when they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg
+was no good, being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no
+use.  When the footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he
+patted my head, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said:  "Poor
+little doggie, you saved HIS child!"
+
+I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up!  This last week a
+fright has been stealing upon me.  I think there is something terrible
+about this.  I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet
+me so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, "Poor doggie--do
+give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!" and all this terrifies
+me the more, and makes me sure something has happened.  And I am so weak;
+since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore.  And within this hour
+the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight
+and the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but
+they carried something cold to my heart.
+
+"Those poor creatures!  They do not suspect.  They will come home in the
+morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them:  'The
+humble little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'"

+
+Project Gutenberg Etexts are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our sites at:
+http://gutenberg.net or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new Etext
+files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
+
+At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
+of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts.  We need
+funding, as well as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain
+or increase our production and reach our goals.
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
+to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
+
+We need your donations more than ever!

+
+A DOG'S TALE
+
+by Mark Twain
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER I
+
+My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+Presbyterian.  This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+distinctions myself.  To me they are only fine large words meaning
+nothing.  My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and
+see other dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so
+much education.  But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only
+show: she got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room
+when there was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school
+and listening there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over
+to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a
+dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and
+surprise and distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which
+rewarded her for all her trouble.  If there was a stranger he was nearly
+sure to be suspicious, and when he got his breath again he would ask her
+what it meant.  And she always told him.  He was never expecting this but
+thought he would catch her; so when she told him, he was the one that
+looked ashamed, whereas he had thought it was going to be she.  The
+others were always waiting for this, and glad of it and proud of her, for
+they knew what was going to happen, because they had had experience.
+When she told the meaning of a big word they were all so taken up with
+admiration that it never occurred to any dog to doubt if it was the right
+one; and that was natural, because, for one thing, she answered up so
+promptly that it seemed like a dictionary speaking, and for another
+thing, where could they find out whether it was right or not? for she was
+the only cultivated dog there was.  By and by, when I was older, she
+brought home the word Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard
+all the week at different gatherings, making much unhappiness and
+despondency; and it was at this time that I noticed that during that week
+she was asked for the meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed
+out a fresh definition every time, which showed me that she had more
+presence of mind than culture, though I said nothing, of course.  She had
+one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver,
+a kind of emergency word to strap on when she was likely to get washed
+overboard in a sudden way--that was the word Synonymous.  When she
+happened to fetch out a long word which had had its day weeks before and
+its prepared meanings gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger
+there of course it knocked him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he
+would come to, and by that time she would be away down wind on another
+tack, and not expecting anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash
+in, I (the only dog on the inside of her game) could see her canvas
+flicker a moment--but only just a moment--then it would belly out taut
+and full, and she would say, as calm as a summer's day, "It's synonymous
+with supererogation," or some godless long reptile of a word like that,
+and go placidly about and skim away on the next tack, perfectly
+comfortable, you know, and leave that stranger looking profane and
+embarrassed, and the initiated slatting the floor with their tails in
+unison and their faces transfigured with a holy joy.
+
+And it was the same with phrases.  She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and
+explain it a new way every time--which she had to, for all she cared for
+was the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those
+dogs hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway.  Yes, she was a daisy!  She
+got so she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the
+ignorance of those creatures.  She even brought anecdotes that she had
+heard the family and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a
+rule she got the nub of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut,
+where, of course, it didn't fit and hadn't any point; and when she
+delivered the nub she fell over and rolled on the floor and laughed and
+barked in the most insane way, while I could see that she was wondering
+to herself why it didn't seem as funny as it did when she first heard it.
+But no harm was done; the others rolled and barked too, privately ashamed
+of themselves for not seeing the point, and never suspecting that the
+fault was not with them and there wasn't any to see.
+
+You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think.  She
+had a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for
+injuries done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them;
+and she taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also
+to be brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face
+the peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we
+could without stopping to think what the cost might be to us.  And she
+taught us not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and
+the surest and the most lasting.  Why, the brave things she did, the
+splendid things! she was just a soldier; and so modest about it--well,
+you couldn't help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not
+even a King Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her
+society.  So, as you see, there was more to her than her education.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER II
+
+When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never
+saw her again.  She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but
+she comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this
+world for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without
+repining, take our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of
+others, and never mind about the results; they were not our affair.  She
+said men who did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and
+by in another world, and although we animals would not go there, to do
+well and right without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness
+and dignity which in itself would be a reward.  She had gathered these
+things from time to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the
+children, and had laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had
+done with those other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply,
+for her good and ours.  One may see by this that she had a wise and
+thoughtful head, for all there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+
+So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+tears; and the last thing she said--keeping it for the last to make me
+remember it the better, I think--was, "In memory of me, when there is a
+time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your mother,
+and do as she would do."
+
+Do you think I could forget that?  No.
+
+
+
+
+CHAPTER III
+
+It was such a charming home!--my new one; a fine great house, with
+pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden--oh,
+greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end!  And I was the same as
+a member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not
+give me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me
+because my mother had given it me--Aileen Mavourneen.  She got it out of
+a song; and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+
+Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender
+little copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks;
+and the baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and
+never could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and
+laughing out its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and
+tall and slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in
+his movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with
+that kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+frosty intellectuality!  He was a renowned scientist.  I do not know what
+the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+look sorry he came.  But that is not the best one; the best one was
+Laboratory.  My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+the tax-collars off the whole herd.  The laboratory was not a book, or a
+picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+said--no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different, and is
+filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and strange
+machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in the
+place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might,
+I was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+
+Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby
+was asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs;
+other times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with
+Sadie till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of
+a tree while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the
+neighbor dogs--for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and
+one very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish
+setter by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and
+belonged to the Scotch minister.
+
+The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and
+so, as you see, mine was a pleasant life.  There could not be a happier
+dog that I was, nor a gratefuller one.  I will say this for myself, for
+it is only the truth:  I tried in all ways to do well and right, and
+honor my mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that
+had come to me, as best I could.
+
+By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness
+was perfect.  It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and
+soft and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did.  It did seem to
+me that life was just too lovely to--
+
+Then came the winter.  One day I was standing a watch in the nursery.
+That is to say, I was asleep on the bed.  The baby was asleep in the
+crib, which was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace.  It
+was the kind of crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff
+that you can see through.  The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were
+alone.  A spark from the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope
+of the tent.  I suppose a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the
+baby awoke me, and there was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling!
+Before I could think, I sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second
+was half-way to the door; but in the next half-second my mother's
+farewell was sounding in my ears, and I was back on the bed again.
+I reached my head through the flames and dragged the baby out by the
+waist-band, and tugged it along, and we fell to the floor together in a
+cloud of smoke; I snatched a new hold, and dragged the screaming little
+creature along and out at the door and around the bend of the hall, and
+was still tugging away, all excited and happy and proud, when the
+master's voice shouted:
+
+"Begone you cursed beast!" and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his
+cane, I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow
+fell upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+helpless; the cane went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+nurse's voice rang wildly out, "The nursery's on fire!" and the master
+rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+
+The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of
+the hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+people seldom went.  I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest
+place I could find.  It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was;
+so afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have
+been such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know.
+But I could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+
+For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again.  Quiet for some
+minutes, and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to
+go down; and fears are worse than pains--oh, much worse.  Then came a
+sound that froze me.  They were calling me--calling me by name--hunting
+for me!
+
+It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard.  It went
+all about, everywhere, down there:  along the halls, through all the
+rooms, in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside,
+and farther and farther away--then back, and all about the house again,
+and I thought it would never, never stop.  But at last it did, hours and
+hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted
+out by black darkness.
+
+Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+I was at peace and slept.  It was a good rest I had, but I woke before
+the twilight had come again.  I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I
+could think out a plan now.  I made a very good one; which was, to creep
+down, all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door,
+and slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+journey when night came; my journey to--well, anywhere where they would
+not know me and betray me to the master.  I was feeling almost cheerful
+now; then suddenly I thought:  Why, what would life be without my puppy!
+
+That was despair.  There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must stay where
+I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come--it was not my affair;
+that was what life is--my mother had said it.  Then--well, then the
+calling began again!  All my sorrows came back.  I said to myself, the
+master will never forgive.  I did not know what I had done to make him so
+bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could not
+understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+
+They called and called--days and nights, it seemed to me.  So long that
+the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+getting very weak.  When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+did.  Once I woke in an awful fright--it seemed to me that the calling
+was right there in the garret!  And so it was:  it was Sadie's voice, and
+she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+
+"Come back to us--oh, come back to us, and forgive--it is all so sad
+without our--"
+
+I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie
+was plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and
+shouting for the family to hear, "She's found, she's found!"
+
+ The days that followed--well, they were wonderful.  The mother and Sadie
+and the servants--why, they just seemed to worship me.  They couldn't
+seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+about my heroism--that was the name they called it by, and it means
+agriculture.  I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+risked my life to say the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about
+me, and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and
+when the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going
+to cry.
+
+And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory,
+and discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said
+it was wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they
+could call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, "It's far above
+instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish"; and then
+he laughed, and said:  "Why, look at me--I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+all my grand intelligence, the only thing I inferred was that the dog had
+gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+intelligence--it's REASON, I tell you!--the child would have perished!"
+
+They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+me; it would have made her proud.
+
+Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+Sadie and I had planted seeds--I helped her dig the holes, you know--and
+after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was
+a wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk--I
+would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+sleep.
+
+Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and
+counted the days and waited for the family.
+
+And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+of course.  They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+
+"There, I've won--confess it!  He's as blind as a bat!"
+
+And they all said:
+
+"It's so--you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you a
+great debt from henceforth," and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+
+But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart
+it was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's
+touch, though it could not see me.  Then it dropped down, presently, and
+its little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did
+not move any more.
+
+Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+said, "Bury it in the far corner of the garden," and then went on with
+the discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful,
+for I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep.  We
+went far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the
+nurse and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a
+great elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to
+plant the puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine
+handsome dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the
+family when they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg
+was no good, being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no
+use.  When the footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he
+patted my head, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said:  "Poor
+little doggie, you saved HIS child!"
+
+I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up!  This last week a
+fright has been stealing upon me.  I think there is something terrible
+about this.  I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet
+me so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, "Poor doggie--do
+give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!" and all this terrifies
+me the more, and makes me sure something has happened.  And I am so weak;
+since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore.  And within this hour
+the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight
+and the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but
+they carried something cold to my heart.
+
+"Those poor creatures!  They do not suspect.  They will come home in the
+morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them:  'The
+humble little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'"

+<br><br>
+<p>My father was a St. Bernard, my mother was a collie, but I am a
+Presbyterian.  This is what my mother told me, I do not know these nice
+distinctions myself.  To me they are only fine large words meaning
+nothing.  My mother had a fondness for such; she liked to say them, and
+see other dogs look surprised and envious, as wondering how she got so
+much education.  But, indeed, it was not real education; it was only
+show: she got the words by listening in the dining-room and drawing-room
+when there was company, and by going with the children to Sunday-school
+and listening there; and whenever she heard a large word she said it over
+to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a
+dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood, then she would get it off, and
+surprise and distress them all, from pocket-pup to mastiff, which
+rewarded her for all her trouble.  If there was a stranger he was nearly
+sure to be suspicious, and when he got his breath again he would ask her
+what it meant.  And she always told him.  He was never expecting this but
+thought he would catch her; so when she told him, he was the one that
+looked ashamed, whereas he had thought it was going to be she.  The
+others were always waiting for this, and glad of it and proud of her, for
+they knew what was going to happen, because they had had experience.
+When she told the meaning of a big word they were all so taken up with
+admiration that it never occurred to any dog to doubt if it was the right
+one; and that was natural, because, for one thing, she answered up so
+promptly that it seemed like a dictionary speaking, and for another
+thing, where could they find out whether it was right or not? for she was
+the only cultivated dog there was.  By and by, when I was older, she
+brought home the word Unintellectual, one time, and worked it pretty hard
+all the week at different gatherings, making much unhappiness and
+despondency; and it was at this time that I noticed that during that week
+she was asked for the meaning at eight different assemblages, and flashed
+out a fresh definition every time, which showed me that she had more
+presence of mind than culture, though I said nothing, of course.  She had
+one word which she always kept on hand, and ready, like a life-preserver,
+a kind of emergency word to strap on when she was likely to get washed
+overboard in a sudden way&mdash;that was the word Synonymous.  When she
+happened to fetch out a long word which had had its day weeks before and
+its prepared meanings gone to her dump-pile, if there was a stranger
+there of course it knocked him groggy for a couple of minutes, then he
+would come to, and by that time she would be away down wind on another
+tack, and not expecting anything; so when he'd hail and ask her to cash
+in, I (the only dog on the inside of her game) could see her canvas
+flicker a moment&mdash;but only just a moment&mdash;then it would belly out taut
+and full, and she would say, as calm as a summer's day, "It's synonymous
+with supererogation," or some godless long reptile of a word like that,
+and go placidly about and skim away on the next tack, perfectly
+comfortable, you know, and leave that stranger looking profane and
+embarrassed, and the initiated slatting the floor with their tails in
+unison and their faces transfigured with a holy joy.
+
+<p>And it was the same with phrases.  She would drag home a whole phrase, if
+it had a grand sound, and play it six nights and two matinees, and
+explain it a new way every time&mdash;which she had to, for all she cared for
+was the phrase; she wasn't interested in what it meant, and knew those
+dogs hadn't wit enough to catch her, anyway.  Yes, she was a daisy!  She
+got so she wasn't afraid of anything, she had such confidence in the
+ignorance of those creatures.  She even brought anecdotes that she had
+heard the family and the dinner-guests laugh and shout over; and as a
+rule she got the nub of one chestnut hitched onto another chestnut,
+where, of course, it didn't fit and hadn't any point; and when she
+delivered the nub she fell over and rolled on the floor and laughed and
+barked in the most insane way, while I could see that she was wondering
+to herself why it didn't seem as funny as it did when she first heard it.
+But no harm was done; the others rolled and barked too, privately ashamed
+of themselves for not seeing the point, and never suspecting that the
+fault was not with them and there wasn't any to see.
+
+<p>You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous
+character; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think.  She
+had a kind heart and gentle ways, and never harbored resentments for
+injuries done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forgot them;
+and she taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also
+to be brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face
+the peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we
+could without stopping to think what the cost might be to us.  And she
+taught us not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and
+the surest and the most lasting.  Why, the brave things she did, the
+splendid things! she was just a soldier; and so modest about it&mdash;well,
+you couldn't help admiring her, and you couldn't help imitating her; not
+even a King Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her
+society.  So, as you see, there was more to her than her education.
+
+<br><br><br><br><br><br>
+
+<center><h2><a name="ch2"></a>CHAPTER II.</h2></center>
+<br><br>
+
+<p>When I was well grown, at last, I was sold and taken away, and I never
+saw her again.  She was broken-hearted, and so was I, and we cried; but
+she comforted me as well as she could, and said we were sent into this
+world for a wise and good purpose, and must do our duties without
+repining, take our life as we might find it, live it for the best good of
+others, and never mind about the results; they were not our affair.  She
+said men who did like this would have a noble and beautiful reward by and
+by in another world, and although we animals would not go there, to do
+well and right without reward would give to our brief lives a worthiness
+and dignity which in itself would be a reward.  She had gathered these
+things from time to time when she had gone to the Sunday-school with the
+children, and had laid them up in her memory more carefully than she had
+done with those other words and phrases; and she had studied them deeply,
+for her good and ours.  One may see by this that she had a wise and
+thoughtful head, for all there was so much lightness and vanity in it.
+
+<p>So we said our farewells, and looked our last upon each other through our
+tears; and the last thing she said&mdash;keeping it for the last to make me
+remember it the better, I think&mdash;was, "In memory of me, when there is a
+time of danger to another do not think of yourself, think of your mother,
+and do as she would do."
+
+<p>Do you think I could forget that?  No.
+
+<br><br><br><br><br><br>
+
+<center><h2><a name="ch3"></a>CHAPTER III.</h2></center>
+<br><br>
+<p>It was such a charming home!&mdash;my new one; a fine great house, with
+pictures, and delicate decorations, and rich furniture, and no gloom
+anywhere, but all the wilderness of dainty colors lit up with flooding
+sunshine; and the spacious grounds around it, and the great garden&mdash;oh,
+greensward, and noble trees, and flowers, no end!  And I was the same as
+a member of the family; and they loved me, and petted me, and did not
+give me a new name, but called me by my old one that was dear to me
+because my mother had given it me&mdash;Aileen Mavourneen.  She got it out of
+a song; and the Grays knew that song, and said it was a beautiful name.
+
+<p>Mrs. Gray was thirty, and so sweet and so lovely, you cannot imagine it;
+and Sadie was ten, and just like her mother, just a darling slender
+little copy of her, with auburn tails down her back, and short frocks;
+and the baby was a year old, and plump and dimpled, and fond of me, and
+never could get enough of hauling on my tail, and hugging me, and
+laughing out its innocent happiness; and Mr. Gray was thirty-eight, and
+tall and slender and handsome, a little bald in front, alert, quick in
+his movements, business-like, prompt, decided, unsentimental, and with
+that kind of trim-chiseled face that just seems to glint and sparkle with
+frosty intellectuality!  He was a renowned scientist.  I do not know what
+the word means, but my mother would know how to use it and get effects.
+She would know how to depress a rat-terrier with it and make a lap-dog
+look sorry he came.  But that is not the best one; the best one was
+Laboratory.  My mother could organize a Trust on that one that would skin
+the tax-collars off the whole herd.  The laboratory was not a book, or a
+picture, or a place to wash your hands in, as the college president's dog
+said&mdash;no, that is the lavatory; the laboratory is quite different, and is
+filled with jars, and bottles, and electrics, and wires, and strange
+machines; and every week other scientists came there and sat in the
+place, and used the machines, and discussed, and made what they called
+experiments and discoveries; and often I came, too, and stood around and
+listened, and tried to learn, for the sake of my mother, and in loving
+memory of her, although it was a pain to me, as realizing what she was
+losing out of her life and I gaining nothing at all; for try as I might,
+I was never able to make anything out of it at all.
+
+<p>Other times I lay on the floor in the mistress's work-room and slept, she
+gently using me for a foot-stool, knowing it pleased me, for it was a
+caress; other times I spent an hour in the nursery, and got well tousled
+and made happy; other times I watched by the crib there, when the baby
+was asleep and the nurse out for a few minutes on the baby's affairs;
+other times I romped and raced through the grounds and the garden with
+Sadie till we were tired out, then slumbered on the grass in the shade of
+a tree while she read her book; other times I went visiting among the
+neighbor dogs&mdash;for there were some most pleasant ones not far away, and
+one very handsome and courteous and graceful one, a curly-haired Irish
+setter by the name of Robin Adair, who was a Presbyterian like me, and
+belonged to the Scotch minister.
+
+<p>The servants in our house were all kind to me and were fond of me, and
+so, as you see, mine was a pleasant life.  There could not be a happier
+dog that I was, nor a gratefuller one.  I will say this for myself, for
+it is only the truth:  I tried in all ways to do well and right, and
+honor my mother's memory and her teachings, and earn the happiness that
+had come to me, as best I could.
+
+<p>By and by came my little puppy, and then my cup was full, my happiness
+was perfect.  It was the dearest little waddling thing, and so smooth and
+soft and velvety, and had such cunning little awkward paws, and such
+affectionate eyes, and such a sweet and innocent face; and it made me so
+proud to see how the children and their mother adored it, and fondled it,
+and exclaimed over every little wonderful thing it did.  It did seem to
+me that life was just too lovely to&mdash;

+
+<br><br>
+<p>Then came the winter.  One day I was standing a watch in the nursery.
+That is to say, I was asleep on the bed.  The baby was asleep in the
+crib, which was alongside the bed, on the side next the fireplace.  It
+was the kind of crib that has a lofty tent over it made of gauzy stuff
+that you can see through.  The nurse was out, and we two sleepers were
+alone.  A spark from the wood-fire was shot out, and it lit on the slope
+of the tent.  I suppose a quiet interval followed, then a scream from the
+baby awoke me, and there was that tent flaming up toward the ceiling!
+Before I could think, I sprang to the floor in my fright, and in a second
+was half-way to the door; but in the next half-second my mother's
+farewell was sounding in my ears, and I was back on the bed again.
+I reached my head through the flames and dragged the baby out by the
+waist-band, and tugged it along, and we fell to the floor together in a
+cloud of smoke; I snatched a new hold, and dragged the screaming little
+creature along and out at the door and around the bend of the hall, and
+was still tugging away, all excited and happy and proud, when the
+master's voice shouted:
+
+<p>"Begone you cursed beast!" and I jumped to save myself; but he was
+furiously quick, and chased me up, striking furiously at me with his
+cane, I dodging this way and that, in terror, and at last a strong blow
+fell upon my left foreleg, which made me shriek and fall, for the moment,
+helpless; the cane went up for another blow, but never descended, for the
+nurse's voice rang wildly out, "The nursery's on fire!" and the master
+rushed away in that direction, and my other bones were saved.
+
+<p>The pain was cruel, but, no matter, I must not lose any time; he might
+come back at any moment; so I limped on three legs to the other end of
+the hall, where there was a dark little stairway leading up into a garret
+where old boxes and such things were kept, as I had heard say, and where
+people seldom went.  I managed to climb up there, then I searched my way
+through the dark among the piles of things, and hid in the secretest
+place I could find.  It was foolish to be afraid there, yet still I was;
+so afraid that I held in and hardly even whimpered, though it would have
+been such a comfort to whimper, because that eases the pain, you know.
+But I could lick my leg, and that did some good.
+
+<p>For half an hour there was a commotion downstairs, and shoutings, and
+rushing footsteps, and then there was quiet again.  Quiet for some
+minutes, and that was grateful to my spirit, for then my fears began to
+go down; and fears are worse than pains&mdash;oh, much worse.  Then came a
+sound that froze me.  They were calling me&mdash;calling me by name&mdash;hunting
+for me!
+
+<p>It was muffled by distance, but that could not take the terror out of it,
+and it was the most dreadful sound to me that I had ever heard.  It went
+all about, everywhere, down there:  along the halls, through all the
+rooms, in both stories, and in the basement and the cellar; then outside,
+and farther and farther away&mdash;then back, and all about the house again,
+and I thought it would never, never stop.  But at last it did, hours and
+hours after the vague twilight of the garret had long ago been blotted
+out by black darkness.
+
+<p>Then in that blessed stillness my terrors fell little by little away, and
+I was at peace and slept.  It was a good rest I had, but I woke before
+the twilight had come again.  I was feeling fairly comfortable, and I
+could think out a plan now.  I made a very good one; which was, to creep
+down, all the way down the back stairs, and hide behind the cellar door,
+and slip out and escape when the iceman came at dawn, while he was inside
+filling the refrigerator; then I would hide all day, and start on my
+journey when night came; my journey to&mdash;well, anywhere where they would
+not know me and betray me to the master.  I was feeling almost cheerful
+now; then suddenly I thought:  Why, what would life be without my puppy!
+
+<p>That was despair.  There was no plan for me; I saw that; I must stay where
+I was; stay, and wait, and take what might come&mdash;it was not my affair;
+that was what life is&mdash;my mother had said it.  Then&mdash;well, then the
+calling began again!  All my sorrows came back.  I said to myself, the
+master will never forgive.  I did not know what I had done to make him so
+bitter and so unforgiving, yet I judged it was something a dog could not
+understand, but which was clear to a man and dreadful.
+
+<p>They called and called&mdash;days and nights, it seemed to me.  So long that
+the hunger and thirst near drove me mad, and I recognized that I was
+getting very weak.  When you are this way you sleep a great deal, and I
+did.  Once I woke in an awful fright&mdash;it seemed to me that the calling
+was right there in the garret!  And so it was:  it was Sadie's voice, and
+she was crying; my name was falling from her lips all broken, poor thing,
+and I could not believe my ears for the joy of it when I heard her say:
+
+<p>"Come back to us&mdash;oh, come back to us, and forgive&mdash;it is all so sad
+without our&mdash;"
+
+<p>I broke in with SUCH a grateful little yelp, and the next moment Sadie
+was plunging and stumbling through the darkness and the lumber and
+shouting for the family to hear, "She's found, she's found!"
+<br><br>
+<center><a name="p28"></a><img alt="p28.jpg (44K)" src="images/p28.jpg" height="799" width="537"></center>
+<br><br>
+
+<p> The days that followed&mdash;well, they were wonderful.  The mother and Sadie
+and the servants&mdash;why, they just seemed to worship me.  They couldn't
+seem to make me a bed that was fine enough; and as for food, they
+couldn't be satisfied with anything but game and delicacies that were out
+of season; and every day the friends and neighbors flocked in to hear
+about my heroism&mdash;that was the name they called it by, and it means
+agriculture.  I remember my mother pulling it on a kennel once, and
+explaining it in that way, but didn't say what agriculture was, except
+that it was synonymous with intramural incandescence; and a dozen times a
+day Mrs. Gray and Sadie would tell the tale to new-comers, and say I
+risked my life to save the baby's, and both of us had burns to prove it,
+and then the company would pass me around and pet me and exclaim about
+me, and you could see the pride in the eyes of Sadie and her mother; and
+when the people wanted to know what made me limp, they looked ashamed and
+changed the subject, and sometimes when people hunted them this way and
+that way with questions about it, it looked to me as if they were going
+to cry.
+
+<p>And this was not all the glory; no, the master's friends came, a whole
+twenty of the most distinguished people, and had me in the laboratory,
+and discussed me as if I was a kind of discovery; and some of them said
+it was wonderful in a dumb beast, the finest exhibition of instinct they
+could call to mind; but the master said, with vehemence, "It's far above
+instinct; it's REASON, and many a man, privileged to be saved and go with
+you and me to a better world by right of its possession, has less of it
+that this poor silly quadruped that's foreordained to perish;" and then
+he laughed, and said:  "Why, look at me&mdash;I'm a sarcasm! bless you, with
+all my grand intelligence, the only thing I inferred was that the dog had
+gone mad and was destroying the child, whereas but for the beast's
+intelligence&mdash;it's REASON, I tell you!&mdash;the child would have perished!"
+
+<p>They disputed and disputed, and I was the very center of subject of it
+all, and I wished my mother could know that this grand honor had come to
+me; it would have made her proud.
+
+<p>Then they discussed optics, as they called it, and whether a certain
+injury to the brain would produce blindness or not, but they could not
+agree about it, and said they must test it by experiment by and by; and
+next they discussed plants, and that interested me, because in the summer
+Sadie and I had planted seeds&mdash;I helped her dig the holes, you know&mdash;and
+after days and days a little shrub or a flower came up there, and it was
+a wonder how that could happen; but it did, and I wished I could talk&mdash;I
+would have told those people about it and shown then how much I knew, and
+been all alive with the subject; but I didn't care for the optics; it was
+dull, and when they came back to it again it bored me, and I went to
+sleep.
+
+<p>Pretty soon it was spring, and sunny and pleasant and lovely, and the
+sweet mother and the children patted me and the puppy good-by, and went
+away on a journey and a visit to their kin, and the master wasn't any
+company for us, but we played together and had good times, and the
+servants were kind and friendly, so we got along quite happily and
+counted the days and waited for the family.
+
+<p>And one day those men came again, and said, now for the test, and they
+took the puppy to the laboratory, and I limped three-leggedly along, too,
+feeling proud, for any attention shown to the puppy was a pleasure to me,
+of course.  They discussed and experimented, and then suddenly the puppy
+shrieked, and they set him on the floor, and he went staggering around,
+with his head all bloody, and the master clapped his hands and shouted:
+
+<p>"There, I've won&mdash;confess it!  He's as blind as a bat!"
+
+<p>And they all said:
+
+<p>"It's so&mdash;you've proved your theory, and suffering humanity owes you a
+great debt from henceforth," and they crowded around him, and wrung his
+hand cordially and thankfully, and praised him.
+
+<p>But I hardly saw or heard these things, for I ran at once to my little
+darling, and snuggled close to it where it lay, and licked the blood, and
+it put its head against mine, whimpering softly, and I knew in my heart
+it was a comfort to it in its pain and trouble to feel its mother's
+touch, though it could not see me.  Then it dropped down, presently, and
+its little velvet nose rested upon the floor, and it was still, and did
+not move any more.
+
+<p>Soon the master stopped discussing a moment, and rang in the footman, and
+said, "Bury it in the far corner of the garden," and then went on with
+the discussion, and I trotted after the footman, very happy and grateful,
+for I knew the puppy was out of its pain now, because it was asleep.  We
+went far down the garden to the farthest end, where the children and the
+nurse and the puppy and I used to play in the summer in the shade of a
+great elm, and there the footman dug a hole, and I saw he was going to
+plant the puppy, and I was glad, because it would grow and come up a fine
+handsome dog, like Robin Adair, and be a beautiful surprise for the
+family when they came home; so I tried to help him dig, but my lame leg
+was no good, being stiff, you know, and you have to have two, or it is no
+use.  When the footman had finished and covered little Robin up, he
+patted my head, and there were tears in his eyes, and he said:  "Poor
+little doggie, you saved HIS child!"

+<p>I have watched two whole weeks, and he doesn't come up!  This last week a
+fright has been stealing upon me.  I think there is something terrible
+about this.  I do not know what it is, but the fear makes me sick, and I
+cannot eat, though the servants bring me the best of food; and they pet
+me so, and even come in the night, and cry, and say, "Poor doggie&mdash;do
+give it up and come home; don't break our hearts!" and all this terrifies
+me the more, and makes me sure something has happened.  And I am so weak;
+since yesterday I cannot stand on my feet anymore.  And within this hour
+the servants, looking toward the sun where it was sinking out of sight
+and the night chill coming on, said things I could not understand, but
+they carried something cold to my heart.
+
+<p>"Those poor creatures!  They do not suspect.  They will come home in the
+morning, and eagerly ask for the little doggie that did the brave deed,
+and who of us will be strong enough to say the truth to them:  'The
+humble little friend is gone where go the beasts that perish.'"

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.net
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
