Doc a Bit Ahead.

of his in the west who was induced by
a stranger to buy what was claimed by
the latter to be the best wolf dog in
the country. A few days later the
man took his new purchase and start

out. The dog soon picked up the
scent and started off, the man follow
ing on horseback. The dog was soon
out of sight, but the man could hear
him bark occasionally and followed
on. About noon he met another man
coming from the opposite direction and
inquired if he had seen wolf and a
dog anywhere, to which the man re-
piled that he had
