here is an incident of "A boys devo
. ton to his dog" On Saturday III,
bird dog of BILLY" Carey, small sol
of Postmistress Carey, of Milton
| was struck and run over by an au
tomobile. The boy saw the acciden
and rushed to the side Of his strick
en- pal. Pleading with the dog to gel
up and come with him, the 10y fin
ally realized that the animal was
too severely injured to comply with
his pleadings. He ran to his tome
returning with his express wagon
BILLY" carefully, and with loving
hands, lifted the animal into the
wagon and started to veterinarian,
more than a mile away. Realizing
that his friend might be cold the boy
pulled off his warm coat and wrap
ped 1t about the dog and continued
his journey. Arriving at the home of
the veterinarian he heard the bad
news that the dogs hip was broken
and that time. alone would effect a
cure. With tears streaming down his
face the lad, with his pal warmly
covered with the coat, began his
sorrowful trek back home. Love for
his canine friend banished all
thought of self-comfort from this
boys mind-"he is my pal and I
must do what l can to relieve his
suffering as much as l can" was the
thought uppermost in the lads mind.
Here is hoping that your dog re-
covers, Billy"
