,r of The Reformer A.:

Editor of The Reformer -
On Wednesday, Jan. %, | attended an
outdoor picnic held by the New England
association. in company with 100 or more
other New Englanders. We had a real
old-fashioned picnic under the tall south
ern pines, with hot coffee, doughnuts and
all the fixin's | sat beside Mrs. Sidney
Morris. and chatted with peopIe from
Bellows Falls. AIiddlebury and Rutland.
Joe" HiIdreth was one of the charter
members of this association, and the rec
ords show Judge Waterman gave a most
interesting address at one of their meet
ings.
1t was a novel experience for me and
with all these good New Englanders
about | felt Vermont was not so far
away after all.
Another connecting link between good
old Vermont and Orlando is the Iatter's
capacity for sudden changes. as next day
we were budding over the oil heater.
and on my way to market my nose and
fingers fairly ached. But these cold
spells last only a few DAYS. and if is
beautiful weather again. On a long drive
out in the country yesterday | SmeIIed
my first orange blossoms, and there *
every indication that spring is mt the
door.
Mr. Wheeler and | are both very well
and wish our good Brattleboro friends
could be enjoying all this with ms We
read The Reformer faithfully. and then
pass II on to a Brattleboro friend. who
in turn passes it on to another.
Very truly yours,
MRS. RODNEY L. WHEELER.

ColIic,s Wonderful Instinct

Bud was a collie belonging to Roy NJ.
Coo, of Fort Scott, Hams, but his dog
glsh devotion seems to have been chiefly
directed toward Miss Nav Hight sister
ln-law to Mr., Coe and an official i'm the
Fort Scott Gas company. Buds master
moved, with his family to Albuquerque
y. NJ. trItie more than 900 miles away
Bud Travelled To Albuquerque in a baggage
car II nus he had no chance to study the
Ioujc-h, indeed a dog could do such Il
thing. In November 1919, soon after the
Goes arrived I'm New Mexico. Bud van
lshed. For eight months nothing was
heard Of him. Then in the middle Of July.
1920. as Coe : sIster-in-laW sat at her desk
m the Fort Scott Gas company's offices,
IN Kansas, Bud came lmping IN through
the open door and sank down, worn out,
at the astOunded woman's feet. The col
lie had come home-home to the deity for
whose sake he had travelled the best part
OF a thousand milcs-fOr $50 miles to be
cXact-thTough unknown country and
through uncounted dangers. Nobody
knows how Bud found his way all that
weary distance, over unfamiliar grounds,
nor how often in that eight months he
had been captured and tied up, somewhere
or other. and forced to bde his time until
he could escape and continue his, endless
hOmeward journey. The fact remains that
this collie had travelled more than nine
hundred miles, guided only by his myster-
ious Instincts and by his yearnlng to be
back at the feet OF the human he wor-
shipped. \ human could have asked the
way. could have stolen rides, could have
begged or worked for food and railroad
fare. The dog had only his uncanny col
lie brain to guide him to his mistress.
She says the dog was in deplorable con-
dition when he dragged himself into her
office and to her feet, and that he stiffens
up and snarls in hatred now whenever he
hears the bowling of the wolves in the
Fort Scott zoo. some of. his scars evi-
IDENTITY being the marks of wolf fights on
his 956-mile journey home.-Albert Pay
son Terhune.
