HIS DOGS DEVOTION.
Master Goes From Colorado to vir-

For weeks, "Shep," a blooded Scotch
collie dog, waited at a lonely station in
Augusta county, Virginia, for the re-
turn of bis absent master The master,
c. Il. Dorian of 104S West Eighth ave-

devoted pet was homeless, took a rail.
road trip TO Virginia to get possession
of the dog and bring him TO Colorado.
The two have never been separated
since.
Mr. Dorian was at the Union depat
last night, says the Denver Republican,
waiting for train TO take him to
South Platte, Nebraska, where he is to
do some contract work for the Union
Pacific railroad. With him, was the
dog, ."Shep."

strangers. He took up the scent at the
farm and followed my footsteps to the
railroad station There he waited for
me for three weeks, taking but little
nourishment.
"The station agent, knowing the dog
and knowing me, wrote 10 me. describ-
ing the dogs actions, about the end Of

Denver for Virginia and did not rest
easily until arrived at the station
where the dog awaited me.
"There never was n dog more glad.
He jumped and frolicked, despite the
fact that he was lean for the want Of
nourishment. Seizing my trouscr legs,
he dragged me in the direction Of the
old farm. He would run short dis.
