greatly. There was a dog crouch

him rather closely. He would
run up and down. whine, look up

about some matter of his own. Al
first we thought he had dropped a
l,oue in the "Scething tide" and
was mourning the loss of property
never to be recovered, but pretty
soon the Telegraph came around
the bend. and the dog grew more
restless and excited, waggcd his
tail, barked, and jumped around in
the exuberance of his joy. When
she landed the canine tried his best
to get aboard of her, but try as he
would he was driven back again
and again. by the roustabouts.
After the boat had left the wharf,
he watched her despairingly until
she had gotten clear ont of sight.
Another boat came along, and he
tried to board her with the same re-
suits. Without doubt he had been
left by some boat on which he was
accustomed to run. We do not
know what became of him, but
think perhaps he drowned himself.
and by this time has reached that
bourn, from which no dog ever
returns.
