Gee, your oar touched bottom, here we are. I'll row back." They pulled the boat up and started for the shack. Fido reached it first and called excitedly, "It's open! The car's gone!" "Stop your fooling," called Nick. "I'm not fooling, come and look for yourself, hurry up, the car's gone." They stood in the big open doorway in gaping amazement.
Once more I lived with motion made concrete, with beauty made absolute once more a wagging tail brought the inexhaustible dot of gaiety. Ponto had finer manners than Fido. He was maturer, with a deeper sense of noblesse oblige. He never forgot that even if he had been born a Dalmatian, privilege entails certain obligations.
It was one day when Fido had called louder than usual. They saw a little figure in a night-dress come to an upper window and lean his arms out. They saw it was the little boy, and, oh! how pale and ill he looked.
So he left his place of hiding, and bending low, ran swiftly forward until Fido caught sight of him, and hearing his voice, came to him, barking loudly and making every demonstration of excitement and joy. He seized the dog by the collar and dragged him down, and after holding him quiet for a moment, hauled him back to Don. "We'll have to take him with us," he said.
The dog Fido didn't remember his mother either, because he had hardly begun to run about the kennel when a wild boar killed her. Thus it is not surprising that all three loved each other. For Ondrejko they built a special room beside the shepherd's hut. There were three large sheepfolds, and "Bacha" Filina had charge of them all.
But slumber soon overtook him, and he slept soundly all night, while his poor grandmother watched the face of her dear child lighted by the flickering lamp, and did not weary of mournfully admiring him. Early in the morning, when dawn was scarcely breaking, the swallow began to twitter, and Fido to pull the blankets.
Two of them, educated in Milan, exhibited their powers in Paris, and I can vouch for the veracity of the following statement: The elder was named Fido, and the younger Bianco. The former was a serious, steady dog, who walked about with much solemnity; but Bianco was giddy and frolicsome.
"When the forest is desolate and the wind sighs through bare branches when Winter chills our hearts then I will come to you, and for a little while bring back the Spring." "Truly, Sweetheart?" "Truly." "You'll never be sorry, dear." He took her into his arms and sealed her promise upon her lips. The Passing of Fido Fido had been in the office alone for almost three hours.
To neglect him, or to treat him with marked coldness, would be a cruel return for the sacrifice he had rendered her; it would be besides making the affair of too much importance; and finally, it would be "against the grain" of Claudia's own heart; for in a queenly way she loved this Ishmael very dearly indeed; much more dearly than she loved Fido, or any four-footed pet she possessed; and if he had happened to have been killed in her service, Claudia would have abandoned herself to grief for weeks afterwards, and she would have had a headstone recording his heroism placed over his grave.
"Roger's just like his pa," she said, with the dull red rising in her cheeks. "He never had no notion of economy. When I'm takin' a dollar and twenty cents' worth of medicine, to keep it from bein' wasted, Roger goes and puts flour into the covers of it, and feeds the expensive medicine to Judge Bascom's Fido. He thinks more of that dog than he does of his sick mother." "My dear Mrs.
