Only Guessed A.

4 "A pet uoS which naQ DelOugeu co
Mr.. Bryant was found with the body
OF its master" This is all the story
told by The Tribune special story of
the strange find in the grave where
murdered man was found near Or
lando. The rest of the story we can
only guess at.
/ what tragedy was enacted, in which
the faithful pet dog strove to avenge
the foul deed? What brave md fruit
less defense was made by this little
dumb animal when its master was be-
ing attacked? What effort did it make
TO arouse tie alarm and bring help?
All of these can be only guess at:
but ~ is plain that the murderer dared
not let that pet dog live a witness OF
the deed. for dogs can tell of crine on
one they love. He dared not risk that
patient mourning pet returning daily
to the rough shallow grave in which
its master was hidden! He dared not
meet the accusing eye of that pet dog
on the streets, in the lanes, or on some
lonely range.
] What higher tribute to the loyalty.
the truthfulness, and the love of a dog
can be found that this brutal double
murder? Cannot you see that small
animal with hair all Artistic setting
furfously upon the murderer? Cannot
you see the very language of determ-
ination to tell. in his flashing eyes?
Cannot you see the murdered cowardly
cringe before that accusing brute and
then smash its head and cover it in
the same grave, thinking he had made
all safe from detection.
| The man who did that thing will be
| forever haunted by the dread of dogs.
He will gradually become SO afraid of
them that his very fear will betray his
guilt. The killing of that little pet dog
and the burying it in the grave with
its master whom it loved and sought
to defend, will be the final accusing
finger which will point daily and
nightly at the murderer until he cries
out Il did iti"-Tampa Tribune
