died there, How may dogs died soon after they passed out?
 You will find qualities in a dog that you cannot find in human being. No man ever had a friend as honest and faithful as a dog. There never lived a human being as sincere, frank and hon est as a dog.
 T have gone out hunting with my dogs. The dog on the hunt has not the advantages that you have. Your feet are protected by heavy leather and thick sole. The dog has no such pro lection. He will hunt until he drops his feet raw from burrs and missiles and underbrush, and then dragging himself home after you, the dog will wait until you yourself are comfortable; then he will come and lie at your side, look up at you and lick your hands. He is tired, exhausted, bruised and sore, but still ready to limp out and serve you"
 A Genuine Emotion
 Cobb, lacking in sentiment in some ways, is one of the most sentimental of men in others. His love for dogs, his admiration, respect and esteem for them IS deep and sincere.
 He has remarkable power over dogs Had he himself trained and handled the pride of his kennels, America would have had another champion. This dog Cobb's Hall, was a straight-bred Llew- ellyn English setter, by Rigolette out of Mouna. Rigoletteo is by Prince Rod ney and Mouna fas a litter sister to Momoney. Both Prince Rodney and Momoney were national field trial cham pions, 80 that Cobb's Hall had almost perfect breeding for field trial competi ton. Cobb trained the dog during the winter months, shooting over him, but when he came north in the spring he had to turn the dog over to d professional handler during the baseball season. The field trials were held at Grand June ton, Tenn, in the |, .tumn. and Cobb's Hall and others were pitted against Mary Montrose, the undefeated cham pion and the greatest field trial per former America has produced. She was pointer. Under the professional handler Cobb's Hall did not behave well He lacked the fine finish that he showed when Cobb handled him, but even a that he finished a dead heat with Mary Mont rose and an extra heat had to be run to decide the championship. As related in a previous chapter, in this extra heat the decision went to Mary Montrose. II was the nearest the famous Mary ever came to defeat. and she would have been beaten over the Tennessee field al the trials if Cobb could have had charge of his star.
 No Finer Companion"
 Dogs are great thing for boys, says Cobb. "There is no truer com panion than q dog and boy in the com pany of dog is in good company. If he observes the dog, which he will dc naturally. he can learn a great deal that will he helpful to him.
 Dogs are among the worlds greatest instructors. Few of us realize that, but if you are around dogs and study then you will soon discover this to he fact For one things, dogs are much more moral than men. They have their owr code and it is the only perfect one. Ir other ways are dogs superior to the human being. If we studied dogs more and copied some of their virtues w' would all be better off. What preciou: human being a man would be who haC the loyalty, the honesty. the frankness the honor and the deep and sincere friendship that we find in the dog !" &S------
