her answers, but gave them in quick, short barks When the numbers ran over eleven or twelve she would divide her barks as two barks, then pause, and four more barks for tWenty-four.
 On the occasion just referred to she was asked the number of those present. After taking note of them as we'll trained collie might of a flock of sheep she parked off the number correctly. Then she was asked, How many wear glasses?" Taking a rapid survey of the room she parked three times. She was wrong, and was told to try again. This time she poked around among those present and found a fourth wearer of glasses who had been completely hidden from her casuel glance, and then she gave her four sharp barks with an em- phasis that challenged dispute.
 On one of her welcome visits to the Times-H Herald building Bozzie was ask ed how many persons were in the busi- ness office. After inspecting the whole department she parked twenty-six in her peculiar method of two and six. She was then asked, Flow many are women?" and promptly answered four Iilo w NetJ tilOuSllI lo bC et iilioCe'hSj iCi only three were visible. So Bozzie was asked to try again. But she stuck to her four parks, and running behind one of the desks indicated where the fourth girl was hidden by the top of the desk as she bent over her work
 Similar instances of Bozzie's remarka- ble arithmetical gifts could be multi piled indefinitely. It remains, however, to speak of the inexplicable feats she performed which discount those of leg erdemain and enter the domain of the marvellous if not incredible. An observ CT would be asked to place his hand on BozZie's head and think of a number. In response to her master she would bark out t he number. Her owner, George B. Clason, to whom we tender the sympathy of all who knew Bozzie and love dogs, would retire from the room and the dog would give the cor rect answer all the same She could be blindfolded and in silence the company would fix it's thoughts on a number in dicated by one hol ling up fingers, Boz zie would instantly respond with the corresponding number of parks.
 i. On one occasion when Bozzie visited the office of the Times Herald she was asked to tell the age of Peter, the color ed sentinel of the editorial rooms Peter was asked to place his hand on Boz zie's head and think of the two figures representing his age. Without hesita- tion or a word spoken Bozzie parked four times. Then after a pause she parked eight times, hesitated and gave half-hearted yelp for nine.
 During this performance Peters face was a study of mingled amazement, in- credulity and awe. When BozZie had stumbled over the ninth bark MT. Cla- son asked Peter how he had thought of his age. Peter explained that he first fixed his mind on forty eight, but while Bozzie was barking he bethought him self that he was nearer forty-nine than forty-eight years old, and so began questioning mentally whether he should not have given himself the benefit of one more years experience of this vale of tears.
 By what process of mental telegraphy did this dog read the thoughts of Peter or anyone concentrating them on nu- morals? This is question that bafflea the wisdom of the wisest, and yet this dog, the victim of as criminal piece of as was ever committed, per- formed it without hesitation and with out mistake. Bozzie was as beautiful and gentle as she was gifted beyond her kind. The disposition of human intelli gence os such an animal almost makes us question whether, like Byron's New 'Boatswain,' she will be- Denied in heaven the soul she held on
