1.   Poor little Bounce gave a great
yelp of distress. If he had been a
big water dog, he could have jumped in
and brought his master out. 2.   He ran up and down the bank
two or three times, barking, looking
first at Willie and then around. Then
he started, as fast as he could run,
up the street to the store.
3.   When he got there the door was
shut, but he scratched against it and
barked loudly, until some one came
and opened it.
4.   He caught hold of Mr. Brown's
clothes, then ran to the door, then
back again, catching at him, barking,
and jumping.
5.   A friend who was in the store
said to Mr. Brown, " Something must
be wrong; I would put on my hat,
and go with the dog." Bounce, seeing
Mr. Brown take his hat, started for
the river.
6.   Then Mr. Brown thought of Willie.
As he came to the river, he saw
Willie's hat floating on the water, and
his small arm thrown up.
7.   He sprang in and caught him just
as he was going down for the last
time, and quickly carried him to the
bank. Willie soon got over his fright,
and no one seemed to be more de-
lighted than Bounce.
