unpopular and unwanted that they've

This was very puzzling: Had Eliz-

days-perhaps when she had gone
away ON visit? No one knew But
everyone was puzzled So much puz-
zled that they asked no-more ques-

should marry Howard. They stopped
telling her what wonderful husband
he would make, and, how much he
| loved her.
They were specializing on which Wis

Gus man married or had he been al
ready married and so Elizabeth, as
| nice, quiet girl had quickly taken
herself home and out Of the way?

was getting together her Christmas

so the animal could have more
freedom in eating. And then
church was out. That dog was
kennel-raised, and as soon as he
found himself free he tarried not.
Like streak, he fled. And then
followed days of anguish for the
brief filler and law exponent.
Half a dozen cars were hired and
the woods and nearby towns
secured. Circulars were printed
and distributed, rewards offered.
Haste was imperative-the dog
must be found before DR.. Henry
and bride should reach here.
Two days after his escape, the
dog was found by Frank Garner,
near the county home, with the
chain hung in a,fence. Mr.. Gar
ner had visions of the reward,
and no doubt had mentally spent
the money; but the dog was
quicker; with a lunge the animal
snapped the chain in two, and
lit out across the field and into
the woods beyond.
And then for three days en-
sued a state of affairs hard to
imagine. From all parts OF the
county came messages to Mr..
Henry that his dog had been
seen in such and such a place las
a matter of fact, the dog was
never a mile from the town
limits.) One darkey even
brought in to Mr.. Henry three
dogs but they were not the
English setter. Saturday night
a crowd of folks chased a dog
that they thought was the one
wanted, over on Watson Heights
and into Mr.. John Thomas yaro
only to be greeted by Mr.
Thomas with the demand, what
are you people running my dog
for" No stray dog was safe
