"Ah! pup," he said, "I know ye'd help me if ye could! But it's all up now; there's no chance of findin' them none." To this Crusoe replied by a low whine. He knew full well that something distressed his master, but he hadn't yet ascertained what it was.
A spirited young pup, a little ahead of the others, was immediately crushed by his paw, and making a few bounds towards a large tree, he climbed to the height of twenty feet, where he remained, answering to the cries of the dogs with a growl as loud as thunder. I fired, and this time there was no struggle.
This pup was no other than the mother of Boxa, and an excellent animal she proved to be faithful, sagacious, and patient; in short, a worthy scion of such a stock.
I also took tell this not in Gath, for the transport of dogs by aeroplane has been forbidden a terrier pup sent to a fellow-officer by his family. At first the puppy was on a cord attached to some bracing-wires; but as he showed fright when the machine took off from the ground, I kept him on my lap for a time. Here he remained subdued and apparently uninterested.
Thinking how good it was for the ferns, and venturing remarks to Bart about them, which, however, fell on sleep-deaf ears, I made sure that the pup was in his chosen place by my cot and drifted away to shadow land, glad that something more substantial than boughs covered me!
"So Buster said." The girl smiled approvingly at the dog. "Good Buster! You may come off guard, sir. Run away and get your lunch." With a delighted bark for thanks the bull pup trotted away. Callandar's sense of injury deepened. The girl had begun upon a second sandwich. Perhaps there were only two! "Are you hungry, Mr. Tramp?" asked the girl innocently.
"Oh, you needn't swell up like a poisoned pup!" cried old Jackson plaintively, ceasing his attacks from sheer weariness. "You know you're as safe as a cow tied to a brick wall behind that table." Thorpe seized the opportunity to approach. "Hello, Jackson," said he. The old man peered at him out of the blur of his excitement. "Don't you know me?" inquired Thorpe.
From his seat at the table he could watch her unobserved, and when at last he had satisfied his appetite, he joined her on the steps, asking curiously, "What's the matter, Puss? Geography doesn't seem to be interesting you." "Oh, Tom, it's the pup! Carrie has the dearest little shaggy dog. She said I might be part owner of it, and we've named him General Sheridan Sherman Grant McClellan.
If he got cold, he'd scratch your face till you let him under the covers, an' then when he got too hot, he'd pull the covers off an' roll 'em into a nice soft heap, with himself on top. He never overlooked himself much, the pup didn't.
But Jim was the hero of the hour, as he very well knew. Time after time, and ever with thrilling new detail and added incident, he recounted the story of his find, gradually robbing even Tintoretto, the pup, of such of the glory as he really had earned. The pup, however, was recklessly indifferent.
