The account Of a dog finding its
way 70 its old home. say % or "a
miles, although not formerly know
ing the road, Is nothing very unusual,
but when the distance reaches some
200 miles the event is worth notice.
The following remarkable return OF
a fox terrier IS absolutely true:
A minister in a southern parish in
Durnfrieshire, Scotland, had a fox
terrier sent him by rail from a friend
near Egin, Morayshire. After being
kept captive a few days it was let
loose. No sooner did it find itself at
liberty than it forthwith disappeared,
nor could any trace Of il be found.
Judge Of the surprise Of the Moray
shire people on seeing il walk in one
morning II was evidently tired out,
for it lay down near the fire, and il
was some time before il was able 10
taste food On exchange Of letters
IL was found that it had been Just
seven days traversing the distance,
which, as the crow flies, is little
short Of 200 miles. How il made its
way to It's old home is amystery. but
stin an indisputable fact. -Harper's
