"In a swampy place, coming along. Sanch saw something down there; and I went with him, 'cause I thought may be it was a musk-rat, and you'd like one if we could get him." "Was it?" asked the boys all at once, and with intense interest. "No; only a snake, and I don't care for snakes. I picked some of that, it was so green and pretty.
Spell your name, Sanch;" and Ben put all the gay letters down upon the flags with a chirrup which set the dog's tail to wagging as he waited till the alphabet was spread before him. Then, with great deliberation, he pushed the letters about till he had picked out six; these he arranged with nose and paw till the word "Sancho" lay before him correctly spelt. "Isn't that clever?
"It was Bascum, but he didn't know anything. Why, where's Sanch?" said Ben, returning. A breathless voice made Bab turn to see Ben looking about him with as much alarm in his hot face as if the dog had been a two years' child. "I tied him he's here somewhere with the ponies," stammered Bab, in sudden dismay, for no sign of a dog appeared as her eyes roved wildly to and fro.
Just hand me my cushion and books, Ben; then you can sit in the chair while I talk to you," commanded Thorny, tumbling into the hammock. "What's he goin' to say to me?" wondered Ben to himself, as he sat down with Sanch sprawling among the wheels.
"They ain't any thing; but I'm fond of 'em they are all I've got I was afraid he'd laugh at me that time, so I wouldn't let him look it was father's birthday, and I felt bad about him and Sanch " Ben's indignant voice got more and more indistinct as he stumbled on, and broke down over the last words.
"Ben's coming; cover Sanch and let me get him in quick!" before the dog was out of the phaeton like a bombshell, and the approaching boy went down as if shot, for Sancho gave one leap, and the two rolled over and over, with a shout and a bark of rapturous recognition. "Who is hurt?" asked Mrs. Moss, running out with floury hands uplifted in alarm.
"So am I! Guess we'll have an auction and sell out. Would Jack be a comfort to you? If he will, you may have him. I'm so well now, I can walk, or ride anything," added Thorny, in a burst of generosity. "Jack couldn't be with me always, as Sanch was, and I couldn't keep him if I had him."
Into faithful Betty's bosom did she pour forth her remorseful lamentations, often bursting out with the passionate exclamation, "If I could only find Sanch, and give him back to Ben, I wouldn't care if I tumbled down and broke all my legs right away!"
Since his sad loss Sancho cherished a strong dislike to tramps, and now he paused to growl and show his teeth, evidently intending to warn this one off the premises. "He won't hurt you " began Bab, encouragingly; but before she could add a chiding word to the dog, Sanch gave an excited howl, and flew at the man's throat as if about to throttle him.
"Yes, 'm; it was so lonesome in the rain, and this place seemed kinder like home, and I could hear 'em talkin' outside, and Sanch he found vittles, and I was pretty comfortable." "Well, I never!" ejaculated Mrs.
