and seeing the predicament of his mas
ter, began to bark, supplementing 1t

under the tree. Finding that useless,
the dog ran toward the home. Arriv-

and howled. The men in the house paid
no attention. The dog dashed back to
his master. In a few minutes the
bowling of the dog was heard at the
farmhouse again. When the door was
opened the dog was seen with one of
his masters boots in his mouth. The
men at once saw that something was
wrong, and followed the dog, which
still carried the boot. When the tree
was reached, Goodwin explained that
the dog had, after hard work, succeed
ed in pulling off the boot and taking it
away. Goodwin was soon released.
