touching incident Of canine intelli-
gence was witnessed on our streets one
day last week. While driving down
Water St., Bert Coombs who is in charge
Of the stable of the late Edwin Gledhill,
noticed on the sidewalk an old dog
which reminded him very much Of an
animal which he had owned before COM
ing here, and which would be at the
present time nearly Is years old.
prompted by curiosity to see whether
this might not be the same animal, Mr..
Coombs drove up to the sidewalk and
spoke to the dog. The old dog although
almost deaf and partially blind stopped,
seemingly puzzled, turning first one
way and then the other But when the
man alighting from the team approach
ed him, the dogs sense Of smell told
him what neither his failing eyeslght nor
growing deafness nor even the faculties
of the human mind had failed to be
certain of, that the man before him was
his old master. Almost beside himself
with Joy, the dog leaped upon the man
who as a boy had been his playmate,
and soon after they were seen going IF
together, happy pair.
