gan n search for iloas, as wholo fllghUof

upon a tlock of sheep to rid tnem ot theso In

Tho dog for n long timo gavo no sign of

times too vigorously ho raised his head with
an angry look, mado a sudden snap, and in a
moment tho bird had vanished in tho dog's
jaws. I was not a llttlo astonished to seo tho
j dog Immediately, without any further move

as motionless as before. What! thought I,
can the fellow have swallowed him feathors
and claws and nil, without onco biting him
But a fow moments after Sultan raised his

eemed to "claim my approbation, ho opened
Ida mouth, nnd out flow tho starling, well

settled down on tho lazy dog and pursued his
