# was sitting in my room one day
and not far from me at the sewing
machine sat Mrs. Noyes. The door was

was posted a. notice Of a dog | had for
was about to move I concluded to sell
it and had posted the notice.
Something attracted my attention
to the door and turning my head in that
direction l saw a man, apparently a
laborer, with straw hat upon his head
standing at the door. Mrs. Noyes turned
her head and saw him at the same time.
He spoke to me and we passed the
usual .salutations when the stranger
said:
How are times7'
Times are hard everywhere I re-
marked. :.@z
He paused and looked at the notice
as II reading it and said; ~

from the back room as if to prevent q

room the stranger snapped his fingers
and the dog went up to him at once
and received his caresses-something ]
had never seen before. u
"Then the stranger continued in
reply to my statement of the price. :.
W'You had better keep him. You II

Something in the statement or the
caused Mrs. Noyes and myself to look
again at the stranger and as we did
SO we saw his body descending through
the wooden stoop upon which he was
standing and he continued going down
till he disappeared, hat and all, thru
the stoop. DO
,NBoth of us had seen him, heard him
speak and both of us saw him appar
emily sinking thru the wooden platform
till he was out Of sight. - ..
"We then knew we had been con

dog and, as subsequent events proved
did we'll in following this stranger
advice. ff
