See what a fine, strong fellow he
is, and how he trudges along.

Margery also had a present of a little dog. His name was Jumper. Look at
him sitting up and begging in the picture.
Did you ever see a dog with such bright eyes? He almost seems able to
talk.
[Illustration]
Jumper, Jumper, Jumper! He was always playing and jumping about, and
Jumper was a good name for him. His place was just outside the door. See
how he sits, the saucy fellow!

LITTLE GOODY TWO SHOES--V
One day Jumper came whining into the schoolroom. He took hold of
Margery's dress and pulled and pulled.
"What do you wish, dear Jumper?" asked Margery.
But the dog only whined and pulled her toward the door. At last Margery
went outdoors to see what was the matter.
Then Jumper left her and ran back into the schoolroom. He took hold of
the dress of one of the little girls and tugged and tugged. At length
she too followed Jumper to the door.
By this time all the children were on their feet and quickly followed
the teacher out of the schoolroom.
They were none too soon. The last little girl had hardly passed the door
when, with a great crash, the roof fell in.
All the children were safe, but what had become of Margery's dear books
and letters and other things?
Margery did not lose her school.
