THIS FAITHFUL DOG FINDS LOST
CHILD.
James D. Burton in Our Dumb AnVrnal.
In tlio wildest port of tho Cdmberland
Mountains of TonnosBee was lost a lit-
tlo child on tho night of Nov. 28, 1918.
Tho child was tho 5-yoar-old daughter
of Mr. and Mra. Eliek Godsey, who
lived on a sinoll farm 4 miles from the
little villngo of Ozone, Tenn. The lit
tle girl asked her mother if she might
accompany a young friend part of tho
way home. Tho request was granted.
It was about 3 o'clock in tho afternoon.
When the child failed to return at
dusk tho mother became alarmed, and
tlio father wont to the homo of his neigh
bor, tliinkVng his little daughter had ac
companied her friond home. He learned
that tho little girl had left her friend
at tho edge of the clearing early in tlio
afternoon.
The father took a lantern and alone
went to tho top of Bluck Knob. It was
raining and tho night was very dark.
This 'is n. very wild, isolated region, and
tho Hercuin of the wildcat is often heard.
Tlio mountains hero abound in bluffs and
deep streams, and for miles and miles
no one resides. Tho father returned
alono at 10 o’clock that night.
By tliin time a party of neighboring
men joined in tho search. Tho signal,
should tlio little one ho found, was to
blow tho dinner horn. This horn is used
in culling men out of tho fields to their
noonday meals in tho Tennessee moun
tains. Tho signal was not sounded, and
tlio liuntors returned in tho early hours
of tlio morning and reported Hint no
traeo of tho child could be found.
It was at tills juncture that the father
of tlio little girl turned to “Old Bilbo,’’
tlio dog, and told him to “go find the
baby.' ’ Tlio dog was taken to tlio clear-
Yng where tlio child was last seen. For
some tiiuo tho dog failed to, take the
scout, But nt last witli a yelp of joy
Old Bubo was off, tho father of the child
following.
Milos from homo, in tho thick under
brush, tho little hood belonging to the
girl was picked up. Homo (instance be
yond tho father hoard tho joyful yelps of
tho dog. Tho little girl was found in
a deep gulch, safe and unharmed, soundly
sleeping between two logs. Tlio dog was
tugging at her garments in an effort to
aroiiso her, when tho father reached tho
spot, llor wanderings had brought her
near tlio banks of tlio swift waters of
tlio Big Sandy.
' 1 1 was looted, Babe, and I wus com
ing homo to play wYtli you when it got
light, ’’ slio said.
Tlio gratitude of a father and the joy
ful tours of a mother were combined with
the joyful yelps of the faithful old dog
nt tho finding of tho lost child. This
writer lias traveled many dunes through
this soction, and knows the dangers of
boing lost in such a region.
It is tho things that are mado to look
lit that cost tho.most.
Tho man who leaves church just as
tho collection pinto is started around
may havo been taken suddenly ill, but
ho rarely gots credit for it.

A hen-povked man being told that an
old acquaintance was married exclaimed,
“I am glad to hear it.” But, reflecting
a moment, he added, in a tone of coni-

Christinas is not a day, it is a mood.
It is independent of days. We cele
brate it on Friday, Saturday, Sunday—
any day of the week. Christmas is in
different to days. It has nothing to do
with the almanac. It has nothing to
do with place. It is independent of ge
ography as it is of chronology^ It has
no relation to human government, or
oven to race or blood. It is nn institu
tion which can be sot up on any soil
and under the folds of any flag. Christ
mas is a spiritual creation, and belongs
to tlio kingdom of tho heart. If. it then
be a mood, it- can be extended over a
week, a month, a year, a lifetime. It
can be built upon time, upon eternity.
If you confine it to a day, you miss the
meaning of it, If you try to cram it
into twonty-four hours, you crush it and
lose tho essence-.of it.
