The fidelity of a dog for its master
has been we'll portrayed in Bel Air this
week. On Monday, a handsome and
we'll kept collie came to Bel Air with its
owner. and evidently became separated
from him by the selfclosing door of the
west entrance of the court house. Since
that time, the dog has never left the
surroundings where he lost his master,
and has spent all of his time in inspect
ing every person who came along. The
long vigil is telling on the animal, as he
is getting thin and unkempt. The kind
hearted janitor of the court house, Mr..
George Anderson, has fed him, and while
social with all corners, the dog refuses to
make friends with anybody.
