the story about his dog. The dog a
year ago was shot and Its under jaw
broken. The jaw grew together. but

to put a severe strain on it. The dog
is wonderfully fleet of foot. OF late
it has amused itself by catching jack
rabbits. which could not run all over
the country because of high water.
Many rabbits were marooned on a
500-acre dry field. After catching d
dozen, which it could not kill, because
of its weak jaw, ii pined and dropped
for many hours.
Then" said Glenn, sit seemed to
have an idea. 1t leaped away to the
chase, caught a big rabbit and car
