change, and never "short change," as some people do. I was a 

 long time learning this, but Master was so patient and kind tiiat 

 I tried doubly hard to learn, and succeeded. Master tells nie 

 that he has been presented with a brand new National Cash Reg- 

 ister built specially for me, and that it is valued at $400. 



I knew all the figures and numbers pretty w'cU before I under- 

 took to make change on the register, but even then I had difficulty 

 in ringing up the sale correctly and in getting the right money in 

 change. But now I am all right on change and the National 

 Cash Register can't be beat. I can see how it would prevent mis- 

 takes, how it would detect theft and keep accounts straight. It's 

 a wonder. I learned the figures and numbers more slowly than 

 I did the alphabet. Master would hold up an object like a carrot 

 and say "one." Then he would hold up one in each hand and say 

 "two" and show me the printed number each time. And that's 

 the way I learned from one up to ten and over. 



I am like people, however ; I would have considerable trouble 

 in keeping my accounts straight and the change right if it wasn't 

 for the National Cash Register. It's perfection. 



CHAPTER VII. 



Talk With Ned and Ted. 



I have lots of fun 

 with my two stable 

 companions, N e d 

 and Ted. Ned is a 

 very wise horse. He 

 is grey like myself, 

 but not from age. 

 Ted is also grey, but 

 he's a dog and I have 

 to talk to him 

 through signs which 

 he understands by 

 instinct. A dumb 

 brute can't reason
