ed him up snugly in the
shawl once again.
"There, little fellow, you will be all right in the morning. Go to sleep
now and forget all your trouble. But if you hadn't gotten to me when you
did, you would have been a little angel dog by this time. The poison was
working so fast that I could not have saved you had you come twenty
minutes later. By the way, that is a smart friend you have, and he has
good lungs, I think, by the noise he was making. He must have awakened all
our neighbors. If he is around in the morning, I will give him a good hot
breakfast. I never would have known you were home and sick if he had not
kicked up such a racket, for you were far too ill to make noise enough to
awaken me," and patting Zip on the head, the doctor crawled into his bed
and was soon fast asleep.
Zip was about to fall into a doze when he heard a noise down on the front
porch. Listening intently, the voices of Tabby and his friend, Rats, came
floating in the window, and he knew by the soft murmur they made that they
were talking in a most friendly manner and not fighting with each other.
"I am glad that Tabby found Rats, for now he can tell her all that has
happened to me," thought Zip.
The warm milk and the hot-water bottle were beginning to soothe Zip and
make him feel comfortable, and in fifty winks he was fast asleep and
snoring.
And so once more Zip's adventures ended happily for him.
