crate was marked from A. L Hurt,
Owego, N. Y.. to the lleuirntcnl Ken
nell fnrin, Long Island, mid Inside the
crate through the slats could be ncen
a pretty "llver-and-whlle-tlckod" clog.
The baggage men took a casual
glance at tho lltle fellow In his portable
house and gently plitcd the crate
among the baggvuTi' s'-hdtilol for the
train leaving south at 1.40 a. in., a
short time afterward. This train final
ly pulled Into the stallm mid the work
of loading the stuff wan begun.
Half of the lietin had boon traii"-
fe'Ted to the truck and llaggagenian
Hates, for the Fulled States Hxprtrs

marked "Hompslend Kentiell Farm,

to turn his head. There on the iHatlcn

dosr with head erect and his
long tall cutting tho nlr.
Expressman Hates said half i.louil:
"Where did that iloar come from." He
thought he had seen It before. He
looked In the crate It was empty. The
expressman made n dive for the dog
but his canlnoshl;) was too cute and
turned toll. The expressman followed

At the corner of Washington avenue

appeared nnd Expressman Hates gave
up the chae.
The 1.40 a. m. train went on without
the crate marked for Hempstead. The

the precious baggage and orders were
given out to the patrolmen concerning
tho "Iiver-and-white-tlcked" runaway,
but no trace was dlscoveiud.
All day Thursday the hunt was prose

dog was not located by yesterday morn
ing he would come to Seranton and
begin a thorough and systematic search
through the city. The dog1 Is valued
at $200.
Mr. McGowan?isecl every agency nt
