Remember and take care about placing him
In a draft or too close TO even q c!osed van

great a mistake to put him where he will he
subject 10 the dry, burning heat Of furnace
or stove. Do not hang his cage too high nor
TOO low. but let him breathe the pure air
which YOU breathe yourself
From November till June wrap his cage

house Of a friend while he left England for q
long soiourn abroad. After two years Mr.
Eyre returned, arriving at his friends house
late at night, and retiring without having the
dog called.

the dog bursting into his bedroom, and leap

Not only was she to haze the entire care OF
it, but she was TO take ii every morning TO

library, the parlor, the bedrooms, and 10 re-
main with it in each place for al least five

be revealed. The directions were followed.

Il was found TO contain an old parchment,
on which were written these words "The
