THE DOG UNDERSTOOD.
Notable Instance of the knowledge
of In Dogs.

Notable Instance of the knowledge
of Language I'm Dogs.
No dog lover requires proof that his
canin friends understand human speech,
but he is always ready to accept new evil
dence in favor of a theory already held.
Knowing this fact, a sailor dog, appro-
priately named for a correspondent, mar
rates the exploit of Jack.
His master was the captain of a fishing
vessel sailing from Provincetown. Jack
had often been his masters companion in
his "a but on one occasion it was
decided that the dog must be left at
home.
The eve of the captains departure had
come. The dog lay doing before the fire,
and W no sign of interest when his
master said in ordinary tones: w must
shut Jack UP in the barn tonight, or he
will try to follow me in the morning."
Presently Jack barked to be let out, and
no one thought any more about him until
bedtime, when he was to be made pris-
oner. Then no Jack was to be found, In
vain were whistling. calling, coaxing
and %scolding, and at last the puzzled
master gave up the search.
The next morning the captain started
before dawn on his long tramp to a neigh
boring port. There his sailors were wait
ing to row him to his vessel. which was
one of a large fleet lying in the harbor at
some distance from the shore. AS they
drew near his own vessel the captain was
astenished to see the familiar head of
Jack watching his approach with evil
dent interest, and probably with varied
emotions.
The dogs appearance had been as great
a mystery to the sailors during the night
as it was now to the captain.
Shortly after midnight they had been
startled by a whining and scratching
at the vessels side, and had been aston
ished and delighted to find their old friend
Jack begging to be k from the water
to the deck.
