LOVED HER DOG.
When II Died She Treated Its Body Almost
Like That of n Child

When Belle the six-year-old fox terrier
OF Mrs. Sarah Haske H. Haven was take n
Ill. early in the week, there was great con-
sternation at 3l5 Hudson street, Hoboken.
Belle was full-blooded pup from the Bel
mont kennels when she fell into the hands
of Mrs. Haskell-Haven, who is a portrait
painter and a second cousin of Ambassador
Joseph Choate Franz, H. Haven, the hus-
band of Mrs. Haskell Haven, Is a theatre
manager The couple have no children.
and. as MIR. Haven is away from home the
greater part Of the wear, Belle and her
mistress grew to be inseparable COM
panions
Mrs. Haskcll-Haven treated Belle to a
bath every morning and was scr1ipulous
about the care of the terriers teeth, which
she washed with the most delcately
scented dentrifces. portrait of Belle
in oils is the most priced canvas in Mrs
Haskell-Havens collection OF her own
paintings.
Belle slept in the same bed as her mis-
fress, and was nnrtured at tcnderly as The
most highly priced child According to
Mrs. Haskell Haven, Belle understood ever
word that she spoke to her and was the
most discriminating terrier that ever
sported license tag and collar
Monday Belle went out walking with
Mrs. Haskell and when she re-
turned home began to shake with chills.
Mrs. Haskell-Haven gave her some warm
milk, but Belle didn't seem TO improve
The following day Mrs Haskell Haven
sent for Hoboken veterinary surgeon.
The surgeon said the dog was beyond re-
covery, and the death OF Belle the same
evening confirmed his prediction,
Mrs. Haskell-Haven shed the bitterest
kind of tears over the loss of her pet She
laid the body out in her drawing room In
wicker basket lined with white Swiss, and
invited her women friends TO come and
mourn with her. A goodly number re-
sponded and were very sympathetic. One
young woman remarked, however, that
Belle, after all, was only dog" Mrs.
HaskellHaven jumped to her feet
Il would thank you IL you would leave
my house Immediately she said Belle
was one of the dearest friends ever had
in this world, and consider your remarks
extremely heartless.
The young woman tried to qualify her
statement, but Mrs. Haskell haven re-
fused to be placated. and she left the room
when the former showed no disposition
to go away.
Belle WAS buried in the rear garden of
Mrs HaskellHavens home on Wednesday
There was a report around Hoboken yes
terday that Mrs. Hsskel-Haven had tried
20 have the body of Belle embalmed before
the burial. Mrs. HASKELL Haven denied
this TO a Sun reporter.

men, Bertram Laycock, 10 years DID, and
his brother Albert Laycock, 81 years old,
Of 1920 Filbert street, were less fortunate
and fell into trap set for them.
Bertram was arraigned for hearing

and was held for court. The rat ran across
Hilbert street yesterday and sought refuge
in one of the arches under the Pennsylvania
Railroad track. T. j. Mccarthy, foreman
of the Bell Telephone Company, gave
chase.
The rat sped under one of the arches
formerly a part of the old freight station
and by the time Mccarthy entered had
made good it's escape. Mccarthy poked
in the hole with stick and brought out
a letter addressed to A. J. Cassatt and one
to John Wanamaker They had been
registered Pursuing his search he found

Inspectors were put on the case and the
Laycocks were trapped by means of marked
money. They confessed and many regis
