In addition to Brisk we have a Scotch collie.
He is very handsome, and is a constant attendant of Miss Laura's.

We are great friends, he and I, but he can get about much better than I can.
One day a friend of Miss Laura's came with a little boy and girl, and "Collie" sat between the two children, and their father took their picture with a "kodak." I like him so much that I told him I would get them to put his picture in my book.
When the Morris boys are all here in the summer we have gay times.

All through the winter we look forward to their coming, for they make the old farmhouse so lively.

Mr.Maxwell never misses a summer in coming to Riverdale.

He has such a following of dumb animals now, that he says he can't move them any farther away from Boston than this, and he doesn't know what he will do with them, unless he sets up a menagerie.
