Obliged 10 Sail without Them
Papa Zimme rman Faiis.

When the duke of Manchester sailed
for England he left behind two ter
riers that he had intended to take with
him, says the New York Times. They
were tagged with large labels, on
which were their names and that Of
their owner. But complications arose
between the duke and the man from
whom he bought the dogs some
months ago, and as a result the noble
man had to leave the dogs behind.
"The reason he did not carry them
with him." said n friend Of the dogs
former owner, "was that he had not
paid for them. Mr.. Kelly, OF Boston.
who Is a friend of mine, sold the ter
riers to the duke last year. Manchester
promised to pay $500 for the pair.
He did not pay. So, when Kelly heard
the duke was to sail he came to New
York.
"But when he went TO the hotel the
duke was not at home However.
Kelly took his lawyer to the hotel and
lny In wait for the duke. He found
him In the lobby. The duke said he
had not the money. His father-in-
law, when asked to pay the bill. re-
fused to do SO. So the duke had TO let
Kelly take the dogs"
