of the Connecticut Western railroad, and
found his dog excitedly shifting at the

dog kept following the rail for a rod or
more, and then stopped and barked Wig
orously. Mr.. Palmer was puzzled and,
at first, indignant hat his dog did not
answer his summons. Finally he yielded
to curiosity and examined the point
where the dog kept his nose, and discov-
cred that the fox had been walking on
the rail and one foot bad slipped of,
leaving it's imprint in the Mr..
Palmer determined to find out how fal
this thing had gone on, and the doc was
allowed to follow the weak scent on tbC
rail. For over two miles they kept OF
the track and found no place where tho
fox had slipped again. At last, a little
further on, they found where the cum.
ming animal had gathered himself to-
gether and made a side jump from the
rail a distance Of over five feet, and had
made Off.
