md well satisfied boarder. But appear
lnces are deceitful and the poreine mind
vas evidently dissatisfied with his new
lome and planned very successful
,scape. The animal scaled the smooth
md perpendicular walls of his coy
quarters, not knowing what was best
ior himself, made a rear movement and
Effected passage over the deep and
.reacherous waters of White River by
swimming, only TO find ms friend waiting
Tor him on the other side. He was soon
lodged in his former quarters. The
DOCTOR states that there had been nothing
IN his treatment as far as he knew that
would warrant such a sudden and secret
departure.
