fortune to catch part of the load and
one of his fore legs was broken. The

in the quaint old town of Sebree,
KY, knows Rondo. and there is no
exaggeration in saying that Rondo
has a 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. 1t is known, how
ever. that he first saw the light of
day in the manger of livery stable
in 1855, and as he sprang from Scotch
English ancestry everything in the
shape of rat he beheld from the
He soon made himself terror to the
rodent family, and his accomplish

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
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 DISCRIMINATING all the rates within
his reach and then became a living
I example of the adage that "An idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop" He
began to form bad habits and became
frequent visitor of saloons. gambling
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 q young pension
agent located in the town of Rondo's
birth, and case of mutual love at
first sight sprang up between them.
In 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 night
key and let him go where he pleased,
and Rondo pleased to be 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 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
