on our streets last week. We hope the
good work will continue until the side

reputed the best hunting dog in

theHnotsd deg whose chief glOries are
now at Hamden Park awaiting the

tried to purchase him. But Stokes
had Just refused $500 for him, and
didn't want to sell the dog. Finally,
however. he told Harker that as per-
haps his hunting days were over, al
though he would not sell, he would
make him tHarker) a present of the
dog. The generous HRrker would
not, however accept the friendly offer
without q reciprocal one, and as he
had offered $1,000, engaged to give
him the profit, within q specified time
on ], 900 shares of certain railroad
stock. A rapid turn in the market
brought the aforesaid stock to an ad-
vance of 81 share, and that he on
cred promptly to make over TO stokes
for the setter. The speculative young
