The boy walked by her side a lit

HE FOUND A DOG.

In returning to his home one
night last fall along a lonely high
way, a lad in western Missouri was
approached by an animal he took to
be a dog. He whistled it up and
patted it and it followed him home,
rubbing against his legs now and
then on the way.
He shut the lost dog up in the
barn before entering the house, and
a few minutes later his father went
out to have a look and was almost
frightened to death.
The "dog" turned out to be a
panther that had escaped from a
circus a month before, and he was
held until the owner could send for
him. The boy still wants a dog if
anyone has one to spare, but not
that kind. They growl too much
and show their teeth too often.
