WHERE HE GOT THE EGGS.
An English setter That Furnished the
House With AN Egg "a Day.

4 lazy lIvlng ia one OF the suburbs of
New York has fine large English setter
who is constantly amazing her by some
unexpected and original trait Of character
About a month ago he came frisking into
her room just before breakfast, and laid
down gently at her feet fresh, newly laid
egg. Laughingly she picked it up, won
dering how he could have obtained il (for
she kept no chickens) and also how he
could have carried it in his mouth without
breaking it.
Taking il to the kitchen (the dog follow
ing and seemingly extremely interested as
TO what she proposed doing with his treas
ure trove) she said to the cook, Jim has
brought me present; please poach it for
my breakfast" The intelligent brute
watched the process Of its preparation with
eager interest, and IL ever dog showed
and felt conscious pride, IL was exhibited
by Jim" as he delightedly watched his be-
loved mistress eating his egg. D.
To the lady's great surprise, the next
morning he again appeared with his dainty
gift, and, although she feared IL was stolen
property, his mistress had not the heart to
disappont him by not having it cooked
for her break fast. She was touched by his
evident Joy in being able to do something
for her; but when, day after day, it became
regular occurrence. she resolved 10 search
the neighborhood to find who had been
despoiled on her account. II was in
vain, however, that she inquired on all
sides no one had missed any eggs.
Il Finally her mind was relieved by seeing
Jim appear several mornings with an ex-
tremely detected and crestfallen mien and
no egg. "Ah, they have found you out?
have they, old fellowp she said, caressing
the unhappy looking animal. "Well, hon
esty is the best policy, and / am glad TO
have found way out of it without hurt
ing your feelings"
A few days afterward while walking in
the village with Jim she heard little boy
exclaim: Mamma, mamma, there is the
dog that stole our eggs; just look mt him.
guess he didn't like the red pepper" for
Jim was regarding the smiling little mother
and her son with ineifable disgust, sinking
10y them in a way very different from his
usual gallant bearing
His owner feeling very like receiver of
stolen goods, pro1ered explanations and
apologies. which were received with much
amusement. the boy declaring that such
dog deserved the egg. and that he should
have one every time he came for it. But
Jim had had enough OF eggs forever and
day, anu now always draws up his lips and
growls whenever one is placed before him.
