| lnaC Sne was pretty Urea llttle girl was
plain. She Jagged and wanted to sit down on
the stones when she came to them. Then the
brlndle bull terrier would seize her dress and
shake her and pull her along. She was wet
from head to foot. The water dripped from
her dress. the red shawl was bedraggled. But
she was happy II she was tired. and she clutch
| ed her apple blossoms and swamp apples and
talked to herself.
TWAS almost 3 o'clock when Mr. Carey and
Mr.. Farley Of the searching party came across
this pair. They shouted out the news: Hero
she isl here she is! We've found her!" and
then they ran to her. Mr.. Carey spoke to the
child and started to pick her up. The dog had
hold Of her dress Just then. He backed of
tride and growled. Carey hesitated. The
dog showed his teeth and then took hold Of
his little mistress dress and tried to pull her
away. The child knew Carey and went to him.
and then the dog let him take her up. But he
kept right at his heels and looked up
into his face and showed his teeth and
erowled all the way. Once when Mr.. Carey
started OF the path to take Q short cut
the dog sprang in front OF him. HALF way
homo the rest OF the searching party was en-
countered. Ed Kane rushed up and took the
child in his arms. He was crying for Joy The
brindle bulldog wRgged HIS tail and barked.
The child chung to the apple blossoms and
chartered. but no one hoard what she said. e1-
cept that she had picked the flowers for
"Dramma." There was great time whom
tho party reached the Kane house in Maiden
lane. First they petted the child and then the
brindle bulldog.
1t was evident from the condition Of the
child's clothes that she had fallen into some OF
the pools in the swamp. She couldn't have
climbed out herself. and the dog must have
helped her. SO tho neighbors argued. and
when they came to look the little one over
they found the marks OF teeth in the back OF
the dress near the waist. She had fallen in
on her face. and the dog had seized her and
pulled her out Maybe this happened but
once. maybe it happened several times. for
there were marks enough to show that tho
dress had been seized In the dogs powerful
Jaws more than once.
Now. this is how tho Kanes told the story to
Sun reporter. who visited them yesterday at
their home In Connecticut. The brinde bull
and the little girl were in the room at the time.
