AN ACCOMPLISHED SPANIEL.

My favorite pet was a spaniel named
Trooper. I liked him because he was the
first pet we ever had and because he was
a good, intelligent watchdog. A family
near us bought him for their little girl
when he was a puppy but she did not like
him. AS he was always in our yard we
grew to like him as well as if he belonged
to us. When the family who owned him
moved away they gave him to us. We
taught him several tricks and he soon be-
came much attached to us and followed
us everywhere. He was an excellent dog
until he took some disease of the throat
that made him very nervous. One night
last winter I saw him barking at the
teams as they went by. The next morning
we could not find him and we have not
vet learned what happened to him.
