Only a Dog, but

WASHINGTON. october 23.-Ncllie,

country by the Belgian mission. is
mission itself would scarcely cause
more grief among them.
AT the first battle OF Yprcs, Nellie
trotted faithfully along beside her
owner. British officer. into the rain

with only tho thought of being near
her master. He fell; she, only wounded.
wandered about No Mans Land until
picked up by Major Osterrcith, of the
Belgian first regiment OF guides. to
whom she transferred her allegiance.
In the trenches for many months
Nellie lived with the Belgian regiment,
always ready to go over the top"
with her new friends. Twice she was
wounded by shrapncl. but she was a
wire hair fox terrier of breeding and
character. and never thought of de-
sorting.
When Major Osterreith came to this
country with the Belgian mission
Nellie came along. and thousands of
Americans have seen her twinkling
little eyes and her stubby waeging tail
acknowledging their attention and
kindness.
Now Nellie is dead The cause
probably was combination of
wounds and age. but she always will
be remembered by her comrades as a
real heroine who went into battle
without faltering. and was faithful 10
her friends to the very last.
