WAITING PATIENTLY.
DOG’S PATHETIC VIGIL. Six months ago Richard Knight "was murdered near his hut at Coldstream. The hut is now deserted, excepting bv Ivnight' s Irish terrier, which sits all day under his late master’s bed on an old waistcoat which once belonged to him. When evening falls the dog runs to a farmhouse half a mile away, to eat up table scraps saved for him. Then he returns to his lonely vigil in the hut. The public have almost forgotten the murder, but not the. terrier, and if there is any truth in the saying that “murderers always revisit the scene of their crime,” the dog will bo there waiting when the time comes. If a stranger approaches the ftut the terrier growls and sniffs suspiciously; then, satisfied that lie is not, his master’s slayer, lie goes back to the old waistcoat.
