MORE THAN ANYTHING
Joan^and Daphne wanted a dqg more than anything olso in the world. They had a .'cat and a white rabbit, but what were .these in comparison with the darting; littje wire-haired terrier puppy they.-,;;had • seen that.very day in.: the littleV : :shop in the- neighbouring town? The : qld man to whom'the "shop belong-ed--always ■ had a wonderful: succession of '-""Cats, canaries, bullfinches, guinea-pigs,-rabbits, and'dogs, but to-day the childreji had had no eyes for any of the other furred and feathered occupants of the. shop. The puppy's price, they had discovered, was two guineas. What a sum! Daphne and John, who always pooled, tjioir money, had exactly 2g ti-id in their money-box, and, as far as they knew, no chaneo of. adding to their little store. * Home again, they talked of nothing else. Mummify on hearing the tale, shook her head.' "Darlings, I'd buy him for you,if I could, but daddy andpT haven't got so ; much money to spare. Some day, perhaps^—", But "soms day" put the puppy right out of their reach. "If only I could do something," sighed John. 'I might. rescue the child of some' rich man from drowning, and he would be so grateful to me
