lions OF the degs, Mr.. Leonard invited

and | intentionally placed wrong num-
Der. The dog looked surprised, started
very earnestly at me, and at length grOwl-
ed, and finally looked angrily. Finding
that no notice was taken of his remOn-
slrances, he pushed away the wrong dom
ino with his nose, and took up suitable
one from his own piece and placed it in
its stead. Then played correctly; the
dog followed and won the game
