SAGACITY OF A DOG.
Setter Found His Way Two Hundred
Miles to His Home.
Hartford Post.

BENJAMIN Pepper. messenger of the Po-
lice Court. received word from West Spring.
field Mass, that setter dog, wearing a
collar bearing his name, had been stopped
there because of it's almost exhausted con-
clifton and was being held awaiting further
orders Back of this lies a story of a dogs
remarkable sagacity.
The dog in question was taken in by Mr.
Peppers wife at the time of the big biz
gard in 1885, when Il came near perishjry
in the storm, and after that time refused
to leave the house. Its owner finally gave
it TO Mr.. Pepper. and he i'm turn gave il to
man who lives in the same house with him
but the dog has ever since practically bee n
a member OF the Pepper household
Last summer its owner sent it to friends
in New Hampshire, living at point 2O0
miles distant from Hartford, because he
felt that he could not keep it well i'm the
city. Recently he received word from his
New Hampshire friends that the dog dis
liked the constant handling he had Re
ceived from the children in the family there
and had decamped. One day he made a
bee line for the railroad station with grim
determination evident in every action and
taking to the railroad track. headed in .ha
direction of home, despite all efforts to cal
him back.
That was the last that was heard NJ b;,,
until word arrived that he had reached
West Springfield. How he ever found bi-
way all that distance with the many
branches he encountered on the raiIroad
he started to follow Is mystery. Rut lie
managed it, as is evident from, his arrival
and he will now be brought to Hartford
and will. in all probability, pass tho r.
mainder of his days here. as he deserves to.
