Old dog Tray has been immortal
lied in song. He was ever faithful.
The section man at Blackfoot has a
dog. He is ever faithful, but nobody
has ever sung him ia song He has
one duty to perform and faithful to
that duty he performs il as regularly
as the hour comes. Some sweet da,
Lazy Joe will invoke his muse and
sing the praise Of that faithful dog.
His self-imposed duty Is to bring
in the evening passenger train 70 the
station. He cares nothing for the
other trains. When the whistle sounds
be goes down the road to meet the
train and escorts il To the station. Il
is always nip and tuck race with
him and the engine to the platform
but so far he has held the nip. 1t will
not be 50 always. The cow-catcher
will oyertake him and there will he a
culver of the tail and his dogship
will be no more.
What prompts him to this strange
duty is known only to himself, but
that he feels a proud satisfaction
when the engine reaches the platform
is shown as he bows himself to on,
side and returns quietly to his mas
ter's home. He has amused tEos'
who are wont to congregate on th'
platform many evenings, but like Sui
livan he may attempt the thing on'
time too many.
