A remarkable case of canine instinct
came. under observation the day left
Stokesville. The mistress of the house
had died and while lying a corpse the
pet pug took in the mournful situa
tion, showing every sign of compre-
hensiOn and of distress. The little dog
would run from the children to his
dead mistress and then back again,
whining most piteously. When the
funeral procession started, he could
not be driven back. but followed on to
the church, swimming the swollen
river. At the church he would not be
driven out, and on to the cemetery he
followed, where be watched the inter-
ment-then curling up on the grave
amid the floral wreaths he renamed
the solitary mourner throughout the
day and following night. Neither hun,
ger, or thirst, or exposure moved him,
only the strong arms of his master
who went in search of his faithful
pet. M.
