BRUNO 10: 



reached the fence just as the tramp had fallen 

 over it without stopping to open the gate. 

 When I saw all was safe, I felt so limp I fell 

 back in a chair weak and nerveless. Bruno 

 watched the tramp around the corner, then 

 returned to look after me. He was much exer- 

 cised to find me in such a state, and relieved 

 his feelings by alternately trying to lick my 

 face, and dashing out to bark again after the 

 vanished tramp. 



After that, Bruno seemed to feel more than 

 ever responsible for me. He had all along been 

 my especial protector, but seeing me overcome 

 with fright seemed to make a deep impression 

 on him.
