Intelligent Gratitude of a Dog.
from ne Pitfs5ur0 Dispatoh,

"YOu may call it instinct, if you like,
but | shall insist that it is intelligence
that makes some brutes behave so sensi-
bly, as they do" said an Allegheny gen.
tleman in conversation with a reporter
last evening, and then the gentleman
added:
''I've had all the proof want OF It to-
day. In the dooryard of an unoccupied
house adjoining mine twelve little puppies
uttered their first yelp yesterday morn
ing. Their mother, an old black and
white mongrel, with an eye to the safety
of her large new family, took them one
by one and laid them in a narrow area
down by one OF the cellar windows. One
OF the panes happened to be out OF the
window, however, and before night every
one OF the puppies had crawled through
the opening and fallen to the cellar floor,
some six feet below.
IN ext morning we missed them, and
from the whining OF the mother, supposed
that the puppies were all dead on the
hard cellar floor. But later in the dav
the maternal brute set up such a paving
and bowling at the cellar window that i
made up my mind there was some puppy
life below. Accordingly broke into the
cellar and, to my surprise, found eight OF
the little family of dogs still alive and
kicking. One by one took them up and
placed them In the dooryaru grass for
tue mother to take wherever she might
choose. and one by one she laid them
back in the area of the broken cellar WIN
dow.
This compelled me to stop up the
holes in the broken pane, to prevent the
puppies from crawling through again.
Then, when it was all done, the old
mother brute, beside herself as she was
with joy. and anxious 10 devote every sec
ond OF her time to the recovered puppies,
crawled up labOriously out OF the area,
and, leaving the litter alone. came wrig-
CLING and sneezing, and all but Laughing,
up TO me, stranger, and licked my hand
as L held it down to pat her head.
"No, that's not instinct. That is as
plain as intelligent Thank YOU as a
human being ever uttered"
