in the quaint old town of Sebree,
KY, knows Rondo, and there is no
exaggeration in saying that Rondo
has personal acquaintance with
more people than the average politi-
clan.
The early part of Rondo's life is in
volved in some doubt and a great
deal of obscurity. It is known, how
ever, that he first saw the light of
day in the Manager of livery stable
in 1855, and as he sprang from Scotch
English ancestry everything in the
shape of rat he behe1d from the
very first with violent antipathy.
He soon made himself a terror to the
rodent family, and his accomplish
ments in this direction led an admir-
ing Kentucky gentleman to adopt
Rondo and take upon himself the
the supervision of his care
and training, hoping that ''age
would perform the promises of
youth" The two soon became
conspicuous about town, and their at
tachment for each other sometimes
caused the boys to sing Comrades"
as they passed along the street.
In year or two Rondo succeeded
in exterminating all the rates within
his reach and then became a living
example of the adage that tAn idle
brain is the devils workshop" He
began to form bad habits and became
a frequent visitor of saloons. gam bling
rooms and other such places, setting
such pace that his admiring bene-
factor did not care to follow, and the
two began drifting apart
About this time a young pension
agent located in the town of Rondo's
birth, and a case of mutual love at
first sight sprang up between them.
In a little while the pension agent
entirely supplanted the Kentucky
gentleman in Rondo's affection, where
upon the latter promptly disowned
and cast him off. But this did not
affect Rondo to any extent. His new
master furnished him with a night
key and let him go where he pleased,
and Rondo pleased to be a pretty
high roller.
One morning in 1889, however,
Rondo woke up and found that
his friend had gone. He watch
ed about the hotel for
many days, smelling every newcomer
after the fashion of his kind, but the
days heightened into months and he
came not. Then Rondo had no one to
pay his board bill at the hotel and he
was forced to become a dead beat.
To dog of his hyphenated ancestry
this was very distasteful, but he was
friendless and alone and there was no
other alternative. After figuring as
a decayed vegetable for a year or
two. he lost all self-respect and went
to the dogs at rapid rate. His asso-
ciates were the worst in town and
bad company eventually got him into
trouble.

such an extent that a blood thirsty
citizen discharged a fow1ing piece
into the crowd. 1t was Rondo's mis-
fortune to catch part of the load and

He had nowhere to go, and no friends
to appeal to in his distress.
An old colored woman found
him and carried him to the
home of Col Charley Thompson. who
took him in and proved to him a
friend indeed. He put the broken leg
in sling and doctored it for weeks
until Rondo was once more restored
to health. Col. Thompson intro
duced him to his friends and Rondo
once more found himself in good so
ciety.
Rondo accompanied his new master
on several journeys and acquired a
taste for travel that he has never
been able to resist He has been all
over the state of Kentucky as well as
having visited many of the largest
cities in the country. On one of his
earliest trips he was forced to leave
the coach and travel in the baggage
car. This was a great blow to his
pride, and his experience taught him
a lesson. He came to the conclusion
that conductors were not his friends,
and ever afterward he always took
pains to conceal himself under the
seat, but never under the seat oc-
cupied by his travelling companion.
He was too considerable to give away
his friends.
