"Certainly," said Uncle Henry. "Just as _Canis Major_, the bigger dog, follows _Orion_ and belongs to him, so _Canis Minor_, the littler dog, follows and belongs to the star children, the twins named _Gemini_." "Ooh!" exclaimed Betty, "just like 'Rags' belongs to Peter and Paul! We'll call the little dog 'Rags' when Paul finds him." "Fine!" laughed Uncle Henry, "but I warn you that he won't come when you call him as well as the real live 'Rags' answers to his name." "Where do I start?" inquired Paul, anxious to have his chance to draw. "At the feet of the twins," directed Uncle Henry. "Draw a line through their feet and extend it away from the feet of _Pollux_, in the direction away from _Taurus_, the bull. (26) At a point about as far away from the foot of _Pollux_ as the height of the twins you will find a bright star, and between it and the foot of _Pollux_ a fainter one. Draw a line to connect them, and you have the little dog's backbone. You can fill in the rest of him any way you like, for those are the only two stars he has in him. I'll tell you one thing, though. The brighter star is at the little dog's tail instead of his head. The opposite was the case with _Orion's_ dog." The children found the two stars very easily and Paul put down dots of the right size to represent them. Then he drew the outline of the little sky dog, making him an Airedale, as you can see, so that he might be the same as his beloved flesh and blood name-sake "Rags." [Illustration] "Now that we've found the two dogs, that makes it easy to find _Cancer_ the Crab," said Uncle Henry. "Just draw a line from _Sirius_, in the Big Dog, through the Little Dog, and extend it almost as far again. (27) That's right. Now what do you see?" The children searched the sky for some time, and Betty finally said, "Sort of a sprawly bunch of six or eight rather faint stars." "Make little chalk-dots for them, then, Betty, and we'll try our best to make them look like a crab." This shows how _Cancer_ the crab looked when he was finished on the blackboard, and how he crawls in the sky away from _Canis Major_ and _Gemini_, the twin boys. Perhaps he has learned by experience to leave boys and dogs as far behind as possible. [Illustration] "Now let's find the ram!" said Paul. "I want to draw him."
