NV friend informed me that there were two
reasons why she negotiated for one OF these
dogs one reason being that she could present II
to Sarah Ramsey as a sort Of atonement the
other that IL one were removed from that yard
there would be one less to cry and bark In the
hours between IL and a. m. She says she loves
dogs but she needs sleep during the above hours
She has spoken feelingly of the possibility OF ad-
ministering soothing syrup. but the canine
mother Is on guard at all times.
These puppies are very agreeable when we
pass by the fence during the day. They come
tumbling forward and put their noses between
the palings, wrggling their fat bodies and wag-
ging their undeveloped tails You want to hug
them. When Amabel had secured one we took
him. by rope and some pulling, up to our room'
where we did hug him, before leading him to the
Gouzagas.
1t was rather hard work, leading him away
from his mother and his brethren. Several times
he lay down his belly and required 70 De
hauled instead Of being led, emitting dismal re-
monstrating cries during the process.
When we were beyond the hill and half way
along the path to Pedros. we sat down eN-
hausted. The instant we ceased hauling the
puppy sprang upon us with such thanKIui Joy

dog was hers that she almos. strangled 1t IN her
embraces She instantly named it Trooper, evil

Trooper cried all the first night, and was at

to be comforted until in the middle of the next
forenoon when he suddenly ceased his means

Ramsay. according to her mother, 'jest wor-
ships that dog. There amt noth!n' too good FOR
him." The woman sometimes wonders whether
So ruch fish will agree with him. She says that
when fish does agree with person II agrees
better than anything she ever knew; but If 1t
does not Here she left a blank In her Speech
and our Imagination was stimulated as TO the
fate of a being with whom fish didn't agree put
who had partaken Of it.
