 venture that wonderful experience (what goat-keeper

 ing some little despaired-of baby, whose tiny, claw-like 

 hand has almost relaxed its hold on life, come back 

 from the valley of the shadow ; of seeing it return to 

 eat and sleep normally, to grow round and rosy, and 

 to step out into childhood a joyous, husky youngster. 

 To those of us who have stood by and watched that 

 miracle there are no words tender and reverent enough 

 to express our feeling for the Little Friend of All the 

 World."
