southeastern part of the island He was
subject to fits and at this inopportune
time had one.
He fell insensible in the snow and
Percy, devotedly by his side, tried with
all his little might to drag his heavy
body to shelter. Failing to move the
log-like form, he snatched the sentry's
cap In his teeth and flew through the
storm for the distant barracks
The sleepers there were reused and
a rescue party reached the PROSTATE
marine in time to save his life.
On one more occasion Percy per-
formed an almost similar service for
another marine who succumbed to the
rigors of wintry night, and who, but
for the faithful canine messenger,
would now be under the sod which
covers Percy.
Percy pitched into two thugs who
one night attacked marine on the
bridge leading from Kittery TO the navy
yard, and the ferocity of his onslaught
not only made the yeggmen glad
enough to escape, but brought the
guard from the main gate. The victim
was badly used up and but for Percy's
assistance would have Jared worse.
Percy always considered intoxicated
marines his especial wards, and the
poor fellows who sought in this way to
relieve the monotony of navy yard
| routine never had stancher cham
pion. Woe to the meddler who sought
amusement at the helpless tippler's ex-
| pense.
Though detachments OF marines
were continually coming and going.
Percy never lacked for friends, for TO
see him was to love him. lie had the
run of the entire yard, and places for
hidden to all dogdom opened their bars
to Percy. Even that holy of HOLES, me
navy yard ferry to Portsmouth, was a
favorite stamping ground of his.
II was this freedom from all re-
straint which finally proved the good
old dogs undoing. One day he was
roaming about the corridors of the big
unfinished naval prison on the south
ern end Of the island. when he got his
| tail caught in an elevator.
The hurt. at first apparently trivial,
became serious, and the best veter-
mary surgeon obtainsble tried for a
month to relieve the faithful animals
sufferings. The warm-heart&d marines
nearly bankrupted themselves In the
effort to restore him TO health, but his
age was against recovery and he was
at last mercifully dispatched.
Other mascots have since partially
engaged the affections of the marine
guard, but Percy's death left a void

The conference developed into a

publican fight and make an effort to
elect their own candidate.
All day it looked as if the democrats
could not unite upon a candidate for
governor, and it appeared as If the
slate might go to pieces when the del

clared that it's candidate, S. H. Bash
