treasure to the morcles OF the uuFgaIe-mas-

and porter Of the pullman car intOa condition
wherein they were blind 10 the presence ~
the luterulcteI dog. This involved 30 heavy
AN expenditure that Mr. Parsons made up his
mind 20 try other tactics on the return trip.
Accordingly when he reached Chicago he set
about securing permittn take the pet pug
home in the Pullman car without money aud
without price Mr. Lyman j.. Gage became
interested in the enterprise for he too, likes
