"a touching incident happened in my
town tho other day." said q resident OF
Piqua. o., to u reporter Of the st. Louis
Star Sayings, ..'nnd one which demon
strates the instinct and fidelity of n dog.
"A neighbor Of mine was the owner
Of n handsome Newfoundland, which he
had reared from n puppy, and to whiei.
he was much attached. The dog re-
turned his owners affection, and WINS
extremely FOND of following him to his
days work. The master did not en-
courage this, but sometimes the New
founGlnnd would creep along stealthily
In the rear until he was too far from
home to be sent bnclk, md then would
come to he front with every sign of de-
light in his own clcverness. One morn
ing about three weeks ago he had fol-
lowcd his way to n house where his
master was mt work upon the roof. To
keep h dog from straying away the
man put owl his coat and dinner pail
and said: There, old fellow, you fol-
lowed me without leave md now you
may stay and watch my things The
dog lay down as he was directed and
the master went to his work. In the
course of the forenoon the man fell
from q scaffold aud syns Eilicd.@Eis
body was carried to his home, where
his wife was lying i'll. but no one could
induce III dog to leave his post beside
the coat and dinner pail. For W days
he remained ind refused to eat and
CRASHED his teeth whenever an attempt
wns made to remove the things of which
Inc had been left in charge. At the end
of that time the wife OF the dead man,
too i'll to leave her bed, suggested that
the dog would obey her little son, n boy
of two md one-hnlf years, just old
enough to talk plainly. The boy was
taken to the place, and, moved by tho
loss of his father and the excitement of
the moment, ran to the dog, put his
arms around his shaggy neck, and burst
into tears. The dog seemed to under
stand that this was no ordinary fit of
weeping. He licked tile child's hair
soothingly, and when the boy took up
his fathers coat and pail the faithful
creature followed submissively nj his
heels as If he recognized the little one
now as his muster"
