into thine eyes, and give me the old look that 

 my heart remembers." 



% And now the dog in his turn spoke to his 

 master. "Wearily have the hours gone, O my 

 master," he said, "since I came hither. Yet I 

 have waited patiently, knowing that thou too 

 wouldst come. And now it is granted to me to 

 see thee and I have my recompense." 

 % "And I mine," said Sylvester. "But time 

 is passing and we must press on, for I would 

 fain reach the city before nightfall." 

 "% "There is no nightfall here," said a new 

 voice close beside him. "It is always day." 

 % To Sylvester it appeared that there was 

 some discontent in the tones, and he looked 

 carefully for the speaker. At last he saw a 

 black furry face peeping out of a bush by the 

 roadside, and realized that it was a cat who 

 had addressed him. 



% "Cause the horse and the dog to stand back 

 for a moment," said the cat, "for I desire to 

 assure myself that thou art in truth my old 

 companion."
