Toby Is an old friend OF the fishermen who
put up at Fitzgerads hotel at the Great Kills,
Staten Island. He is a cross between French
poodle and q skye terrier. Consequently lie Is
a very hairy and ragged looking old tramp. He
is n confirmed loafer. too. and works the bas-
kets, not for fish, however. but for sandwiches.
But he Ia friendly and good patured and pet
with all the rod and reel men. He is always
ready to accept an invitation to go fishing. for
he likes to be in boat He takes great inter
est in mossbunkers. In the days Of his youth
and inexperience he used to Jump overheard
after them: but he has learned that they are
too quick for him. SO he contents himself now
with cooking his ears at them and thinking OF
all his past vain efforts to catch one.
About three weeks ago Toby was stolen.
There was gloom in the hotel, and when fish
stories we're out OF order Tobys virtues and
peculiarties were discussed in the barroom.
The wide search for him brought out tho mel
ancholy fact that he mad been last seen on n
train for st George with two New forkerA.

was Of no avail. Toby was given ND as a lost

there was no claimant, and when the train ar:
