Silent Saunders, he's called. Kind of funny. I don't know anything about Saunders." "Well, you bank on it. Stack 'em up chin-high on it, Collie, if Brand says that. He knows some-thin' or he would never talk. Brand is a particular friend of yours?" "You bet!" "Well, tie to him. What he says is better than fine gold as the pote says. I reckon coarse gold suits me better, outside of po'try.
"He'll get over it presently," prophesied the Master, to soothe his wife's worry. "Perhaps so," returned the Mistress. "Or perhaps not. Remember he's a collie, and not just a human." On the third day, Lad's systematic quartering of the Place brought him to the tiny new mound, far beyond the stables. Twice, he circled it.
But after Bobs came a long procession, beginning with Tait, the collie, and ending with the last brood of fluffy Orpington chicks, or perhaps the newest thing in disabled birds, picked up, fluttering and helpless, in the yard or orchard. There was room in Norah's heart for them all.
It was, indeed, the cat for the business in hand. The selection of the dog was not so simple, for the doctor owned many; but after much deliberation he chose a collie, called Flame from his yellow coat.
Pampering and artificial living are not to be encouraged; but, on the other hand, neglect has the same effect of shortening the span of life, and bad feeding and inattention to cleanliness provoke the skin diseases which are far too prevalent.

"And I think I would be better than a collie," muttered the lad to himself, as he moved off in a proud and hurt way toward the door, his cap still in his hand.
You see, Jack, it hit us kind of hard, Collie ridin' away one mornin', and next thing your letter that he was down and pretty nigh out. The boys didn't just like that." Overland nodded. "Well, Brand, I guess I'll step down and look 'em over." "Only one thing, Jack. I feel kind of responsible for them boys, even if I ain't their foreman just now.
Britton resumed his seat, remarking, "You are looking well better than I have ever seen you; and I was glad to hear that laughter outside; it had the right ring to it." "Duke was responsible for that," Darrell answered, with a smiling glance at the collie who had stationed himself by the fire and near Mr. Britton; "he challenged me to wrestle with him, and got rather the worst of it."
