(To tlm Editor of the Herald.) Sir, — L have just read; with great interest the details of an ael of extreme bravery by a dog. The saving ol M. Durelle’s life, after Ids leg had been broken, is worthy of the honor duly conferred upon tlm canine heroine, hut may 1 in justice to a great deed, ask you to insert this as a correction? Ihc dog which played the chief role in this little drama, was none other than one ol the despised Alsatian wolf dogs!* I lie deed was a great one. and worthy "I greater honesty and credit than it seems one eau hope for, where ibis breed ol dog is concerned. in this Dominion. There will, however, come a day ol reckoning for all ol us. when our honesty of purpose, not the ellcct we can achieve for some paltry aggrandisement, will he all that will stand us in good stead. Let us hope that when that day dawns, we shall have no cause to ieel that we. who have the power of speech, have ever by word or pen. been untrue to the great trust placed in Ihe hands ot ",teh and all of u,. \ ours, etc., MARGARET L GRIEF!X
