Have no tear, sir. You will not
lose the train. It is now fifteen years
lnce I .began taking passengers to
the station and never have I missed a
train. Take notice, sir, never.
"Oh, do not look at your watch.
There Is one thing you ought to know
which your watch will never show you.
That Is, that the train Is always fif
teen minutes late. There has never
been a time when the train was not
fifteen "minutes late."
But that day the train was exactly
on time and I lost It. My driver was
furious. "You ought to give warning,"
be said to the staitdon guard. "You
ought to give warning If all at once
your trains take It upon themselves to
leave at the appointed time. Never
has anybody seen such a thing." And
be called as witnesses all the assist
ants. "Is It not true that uo one has
ever know such a thing? I do not
wish to appear at fault to this gentle
man. A train leave on time! Leave
en time! Tell him that this Is the
first instance when such a thing has
happened!"
"Oh, yes," they all cried in concert,
"ordinarily it is late. Certainly, sir,
ae the driver says, It is usually late."
Well, there was nothing for me but
to pass three long hours in this mel
ancholy village of the canton of Vaud,
flanked by two melancholy mountains
with two little caps of snow on their
beads. What was I to do with those
three hours? In my turn I asked
for assistance. There was a unani
mous response.
"Go to see the Chaudron (meaning
kettle or caldron). There is nothing
like It anywhere."
"And where is the Chaudron?"
"Upon' the mountain at the right,
about half-way up the hill. The way,
however, is somewhat crooked, and the
gentleman would do well to take a
guide. Down there In the valley there
lives the best guide in the country, a
fine man, rather Simon."
I soon knocked at the door of the
cottage. An old woman opened It to
me. "Father Simon? Yes; he is here.
But perhaps he is wanted to go to the
Chaudron? If" so I regret to tell the
gentleman he cannot go up this morn
ing. He is not strong enough to walk.
It It makes no difference to you I can
furnish a substitute. There is Nol
raud." "All right, I will take Nolraud."
"But It Is necessary I should tell
you, Nolraud Is not a person."
"Not a person?"
"No; It is our dog."
"Your dog?"
"Yes, Nolraud. He will conduct you
as well as my husband could do It. He
Is accustomed to It."
"Accustomed to it?"
"Certainly. For years and year3 my
husband has taken Nolraud with him
on every trip. Thus he has learned
every path and now he makes the
Journey alone. He has frequently con
ducted travelers and we have always
had compliments for him. So far as
Intelligence is concerned, have no fear,
he knows as much as you or I. All he
lacks is language. But for this trip
language is unnecessary. If It were to
show monuments where the guide must
recite names and dates, ' that would
be different. Here it is only the beau
ties of nature. Take Nolraud. And It
will cost .you less. It is three francs
for my husband, for Nolraud it li only
thirty sous. You will see as much
for thirty sous as Father Simon could
how you for three francs." i
"Very well, where Is Nolraud?"
' "He Is sleeping In the sun in the
garden. He has already conducted an
English party to the Chaudron this
morning. Shall I call hiia?"
. "Yes, call him."
"Nolraud, Nolraud. !"
He came with a bound through the
window. He was a small, urgly, black
dog with long, shaggy hair, not pre
possessing, certainly In appearance,
but he had at the same time a certain
air of gravity, of decision, of Import
ance. His first look was for me. It
was complete, precise, assured, and en
veloped me rapidly from head, to foot,
a look which said clearly, "This is a
traveler. He wants to see the Chau
dron." To have lost one train was enough
for me for one day. I had not intend
ed' to exposo myself a second time to
a similar misadventure, so I explained
to Madam Simon that I had only three
hours In which to go to the Chaudron.
"Oh, I understand that very well,"
she replied, "you wish to take the
four o'clock train. Have no fear; Nol
raud will bring you back In time. Go
on, Nolraud; go on,' my boy, go on!"
But Nolraud did not ' appear at all
disposed to "go on." He sat Immov
able, regarding tls, mistress with a
kind of dismay.
"Oh, how Etupld I am!" said the eld
lady. "I forgot the sugar." She took
four pieces of sugar from a drawer
and gave them to me.
"You see why he did not wish to
tart. You did not have the sugar.
T'jn see, Nolraud, the gentleman has
RUN THE FURROW.

The glory of the battle,
Of clashing swords blood-red.
Is nothing to the warfare
Of the battle-hosts of Bread!
The waving banners of the fields
O'er the broud land unfurled

Are the boys that rule the world!

the sugar. Now go, my boy. To the
Chaudron, to the Chaudron, to the
Chaudron!" i
She repeated these words three
times, speaking them very slowly and
distinctly, and during that time I, in
my turn, examined Nolraud with at
tention. He replied to the words of
his mistress by a little movement of
the head which became more and more
decided, and at the end he showed a
little Impatience and bad humor. He
seemed to be thinking. "Yes, yes, to
the Chaudron. I have known that.
The gentleman has the sugar. I under
stand; do you think I have no sense?"
Without waiting for the third "To
the Chaudron," of Madame Simon to
be finished, Nolrad, evidently offended
turned him around, placed himself op
posite me, showing me the door, say
ing' ns plainly as it is permitted a dog
to say "I am ready, come along."
I followed him obediently. Thus we
went through the village, he before, I
behind. The children who were playr
Ing in the streets recognized my gtflde.
"Hullo, Nolraud, how do you do?
Nolraud!"
They wished to play with the dog.
He turned his head with an air of
disdain, the air of a dog who has no
time to amuse himself, the air of a dog
who has a duty to perform and who
intends to earn thirty sou3. And the
children cried out, "Let him alone.
He ise conducting the gentleman to the
Chaudron. Pleasant journey, sir."
All smilingly repeated It, "Pleasant
Journey, sir."
I smiled but awkwardly, I am sure.
I felt embarrassed and a little humil
iated. I was, in a manner, dominated
by this animal. He was, for the mo
ment my master. He knew where he
was going, L did not know. I hastened
to get out of the village and to be
alone with Nolraud amidst the beauties
of nature that it was his mission to
make me admire.
These beauties of nature were at
the beginning a frightful road, dusty
and hot under a sun at its zeuith. The
dog went with a quick step and It
wearied me to follow him. I tried to
moderate his pace.
"Nolraud, come; Nolraud, my boy,
not so quickly."
Nolraud turned a deaf ear to me
and held on to his steady gait without
seeming to hear me. He was seized
by an attack of anger, when I wished
to seat myself at the corner of a field
where a single tree gave a scanty
shade. He barked iu a fretful voice
and threw irritated glances at me.
Evidently I was acting contrary to
rule. It was not the custom to step
there. His protestations were so sharp
and excited that 1 got up and resumed
my Journey. Nolraud calmed himself
immediately and began to trot gaily
before me. I had comprehended. He
was content.
Some moments after we entered up
on a beautiful road, all flowers, all
shade, all perfume, all full of the
freshness and murmur of streams, Nol
raud Immediately slipped under the
treeB, took up a gallop, and disap
peared in a little footpath. I followed
htm, hesitating a little. I had not
taken a hundred steps when I found
Nolraud awaiting me, his head high
and his eyes shining, in a sort of hall
of verdure enlivened by the sound of
a pretty little waterfall. There was
In this hall an old rustic seat, and the
glance of Nolraud turned with im
patience from my eyes to the seat and
from the seat to my eyes. I began to
comprehend the language of Nolraud.
"Good," he seemed' to say to me,
"see, here is a place to rest. It is fine;
It Is cool. You were foolish, you
wished to step in the burning sun.
Come on now, seat yourself, I permit
U."
I stopped. I seated myself. I
lighted a cigar. I even made a move
ment to offer one to Nolraud. Per
haps he smoked. But I thought be
would prefer a morsel of suB.tr. He
caught it very adroitly in its flight, ate
It with evident relish, and then lay
down and snoozed a little at my feet.
He was evidently accustomed to make
a brief halt and to take a little nap
In this place.
Ho slept scarcely a dozen minutes.
I was, for my part, perfectly tranquil.
Nolraud had inspired In me an abso
lute confidence. I was resolved to obey
him unreservedly. He roused himself,
stretched, and cast at me a sidelong
glance which signified "Come on, my
friend; come on."
Behold us! like two old friends
sauntering under the trees.- Nolraud
enjoyed the charm, the silence, the
sweetness of the place. Upon the road,
having hastened to escape the heat
and dust, ha had traveled at a rapid
pace. He marched In order to arrive.
But now, refreshed, Nolraud loitered
for the pleasure of the walk upon one
of the prettiest byroads of the canton
of Vaud.
A path to the left presents it3elf.
Nolraud hesitates briefly. He reflects.
He passes it and continues his , way
straight before him, but not without
some uncertainty In bit demeanor.
Then he stops. He has evidently been
mistaken. Yes, for he returns over the
road we had come and takes the way
to the left which suddenly, about a
hundred steps, onward, brings us to
a circle; Nolrnud, with is nose In the
air, Invites me to contemplate the
very respectable height of the unscal
able wall of rock that surrounds the
circle.
When he thinks I have admired this
sufficiently, he turns about face and
we again take our way through the
wood. Nolraud had forgotten to show
me the circle of rocks, a small omis
sion which had been quickly repaired.
The road soon becomes very hilly,
uneven and difficult. I advance slowly,
with Infinite precaution. Nolraud
bounds lightly from rock to rock, but
he never leaves me. He waits for me
and casts looks of the most tender
solicitude upon me. Finally I com
mence to hear something like a bub
bling spring. Nolraud barks Joyously.
"Courage," he says to me, "courage.
We are nearly there. You will see the
Chaudron."
It is really the Chaudron. A foun
tain modest enough, of a height equal
ly modest, falls with gushing and re
bounding in a great rock slightly hol
lowed out. I would never have con
soled myself for my effort to see this
mediocre marvel if I had not baa as a
companion the brave . Nolraud, who
was much more Interesting and re
markable than the Chaudron.
On each side of the spring, In two
little Swiss chalets, were Installed
two dairies, attended by two Swiss
maidens, one blonde, one brunette,
both wearing the national costume.
Each expectantly awaits my arrival on
the threshold of her box of a house.
It seems to me that the blqnde has the
prettiest eyes, and I make three or
four steps toward her side when Nol
rauTtc'IWklng furiously, bars' the way.
I change my direction. That Is well.
Nolraud Is appeased as by enchant
ment when he sees me seated at a ta
ble before the quarters of his young
protegee. I ask foa c up of milk. The
friend of Nolraud enters her little
hnndbox and Nolraud follows her. The
wretch! He is served before myself.
It Is for him she pours a great cup of
milk. He has been bribed.
After this, with the white drops
suspended from his mustaches, Nol
raud comes to bear me company and
to see me drink my milk. I give him
a lump of sugar. Then we too, abso
lutely satisfied one with tne other, fill
ing our lungs with the pure air of the
mountains, pass a perfectly delicious
half-hour.
Nolraud commences to show signs
of impatience and agitation. I read
him now like an open book. It Is nec
esssary to leave. I rouse myself and
advance toward the right-hand path
by which we ascended the mountain.
Nolraud goes townrd another road at
the left. He casts a glance serious and
severe upon me. What progress I have
made In the last two hours and how
familiar the silent eloquence of Nol
raud has become to me!
"What opinion have you of me?"
says Nolraud. "Do you think I am go
ing to allow you to pass twice over
the same route? No, Indeed; I am a
good guide. I know my business. We
will go down by another path."
We descend by another way, which
Is much prettier than the first. Nol
raud. brimming over with Joy, fre
quently turns to me with an air of
triumph. We go through the village to
the railway station. Nolraud Is as
sailed by three or four dogs who ap
pear In the humor to have a romp
with their comrade. They try to stop
him but Nolraud, growling, repress
es their advances.
"Do you not see what I have to do?
I must take this gentleman to the sta
tion." It is only when I am in the waiting
room that he consents to separate
himself from me, after having eaten
the last two morsels of sugar. This Is
how I interpret his parting salute.
"We are here 20 minutes before
train-time. It is never by me you would
lose your train. Go on;, good-bye,
good-bye!"

Anything over three months old Is no
longer a "baby" to the native mater

children, generally a numerous brood,
in the chill morning air before sun
rise. The little mite yells lustily
while the cold water is splashed over
Its brown body and generally con
tinues the chorus when put aside to
dry. Towels do not form part of the

process finished, the infants are sub

ment. The mother seizes a child,
scoops up a handful of water and,
using her thumb as a kind of spout,
squirts it with extraordinary dexter
ity Into the youngster's mouth and
down Its throati Protests in the shape
of loud gurgles, horrible chokings, and
desperate struggling are quite unheed

tinues to pour down the child's throat
