 Almost daily Sport" makes B trip to the Glana & Ronketty gro cery store in Kensington, bearing proudly a note which he holds in his mouth. Arriving at the store he barks loudly if the door happens to be closed and then when his plea for admttance is granted he trots in and drops the note on the floor, making plenty of noise If the c'"rks do not see him and he isn't waited upon immediately.
 When the contents of the note are supplied. Sport" carefully picks up Ithe package and waits. For what? Well. Sport" knows that If he waits long enough and makes himself somewhat of a nuisance he will re ccive a cookie. So he walks around managing to get in everybody's way until he receives the tid-bit, Then with satisfied look In his eye. he trots out. Sport" Is unusual ir many ways. One of them Is that h' can be trusted to carry meat home without sampling tt,
 Sport" also comes in handy when Mrs. Kelley wishes to send a com munication to any ot her friends, The dog goes with her once to be introduced and then he goes alone, managing to find the person to whom the note Is addressed and keeping a firm hold on the paper until that person Is found,
 The dog has excited much com ment about Kensington. He re- fuses to leave the grocery store until he receives his bundles and he is as impatient as any person ever i thought of being.
