A VALUABLE DOG

A Young lad went hunting during
the Christmas and New Year holidays
with his pet dog He wanted to have
the sport all to himself so invited none
Of his little friends to join him.
He had not gone far in the woods
when the dog gave unmistakable
evidence that he had made a discovery
something big and out of the usual
The lad knew that it could not be A
covey of quail, so what could it be?
Surely it must be big game of some de
scription.
Proceeding carefully in the direction
in which the dog pointed the lad made
a very critical examination as far as
his eyes would permit him. Perhaps
it might be a rabbit or an 'opossum.
Whatever it was the dog refused tc
bulge from his position so the boy
knew that the pile OF brush concealed
something of an extraordinary char.
acter. so removing the brush carefully
limb by limb, the find revealed itself
to him.
1t proved to be five gallons OF
'mOonshine.'
When the boy reported his story he
was offered all sorts of prices for his
dog.
