Tales of Real Dogs-By Albert Payson Terhnne Turk was a swaggering, almost enow-white smooth fox terrier of the oldfashloned kind. He belonged to A. H. Acton, who lived in the London suburb of Holland Park. This was some years ago, before there were so many stories of dogs, printed in the newspapers, as now adays. Nevertheless, the English pa pers told of his exploits, to con siderable length as you shall see Nowadays, much more space would have been given to him. Turk was the kind of a dog that takes possession of his own er's home and considers it his. He was obedient and playful, but he had a high sense of his own importance as a member of the household. For instance: sometimes, in that dog-loving suburb, a neighbor would ca'l and would bring along a dog. Instantly, a wholesale quan tity of trouble would set in. Turk resented loudly and fierce ly the presence of any other dog in the house, even for a brief social call. And his resentment took the form of immediate attack. If the visitor’s dog were gentle and timid, its howls and shrieks mingled with Turk’s furious snarls. If the newcomer were warlike, then the whole house was liable to be turned topsy-turvy by a dog fight which raged from room to room until the intruder ran yelp ing and defeated from the premises. Of course this kind of thing did not tend to make Turk very popular in the neighborhood. For more trouble can be stirred up by pet dogs in a community than by al most any other cause. Finally, the Actons’ friends either stayed away from the pleasant home, or else they left their own dogs behind, when they called there. Turk had no further need to drive out visiting canines He had the house to himself, as far ns other dogs were concerned. And there was an aftermath of neighborhood grievances, which troubled the hu mans of the family, but which annoyed Turk not at all. One morning, the Acton house maid came into the living room to dust. There was a low couch at one end of the room. On this couch a right miserable looking cur was ly ing, covered with dust and blood. Close beside the strange cur, Turk was nestling: licking the other’s bleeding and broken fore paw. The housemaid came forward to Investigate. Turk flew at her in virolcnt rage and would not let her come into that part of the room. The living-room windows were long. One of them had been left open by mistake, during the night. Evidently, Turk had wandered forth through the opening. Somewhere, somehow, in the course of his nocturnal ramblings he had come across the injured little street dog, and he had brought the sufferer home with him. This, in spite of his lifelong anger at any visiters’ dogs that chanced to be brought thither by their owners. As the housemaid stood hesita ting, Turk heard the door of Mrs. Acton's room open, «on the floor above. Instantly, he left his Injured guest and raced upstairs to his mistress. He caught Mrs. Actn by the hem of her long shirt, and tugged at it in a frantic effort to make her come downstairs with him. Laugh ingly, she obeyed the vehement summons. Trotting Just in front of Mrs. Acton, and turning around at every few 6teps, to make certain she was following close behind him, Turk led her to the living room. There the maid pointed out the stray dog to her and told her she had happened to find it on the couch. Turk took up his place close to the stranger. His expressive eyes and wagging tail begged Mrs. Acton to come across the room and ex amine the invalid. A veterinarian was sent for. The bleeding and broken paw was set. A bath removed the clotted blood and the dust from the victim's coat. All this time, Turk stood guard close beside the stranger, not interfering in any way with the proceedings, but watching every move. When the hurt cur was tended and washed and combed and fed, it was put back on the rumpled couch. Turk Jumped up beside it, there, and lay protectingly on guard. For two weeks, this went on. Day and night. Turk watched over his new friend, superintending his feeding and his brushing. Whenever an outsider appeared in the doorway, Turk would growl in hideous menace. But he wagged his tail vigorously when the vet erinarian or Mrs. Acton came near. Meanwhile, the story had spread. The newspapers printed it. People came from everywhere to look at the valiant little canine nurse and the stray dog he had adopted. When at last the broken paw was strong enough to enable the Invalid to hobble out into the garden for exercise and to sit in the sun, Turk went with his new friend, keeping close at the guest’s side, as if to support the latter’s weakly limping steps. When the day’s outing was over, Turk would steer the sick dog back to the living room and boost it onto the low couch and lie down there beside it. Turk, by the way, had a comfort Fishermen Start Drive Against Giant Catfish Horatio, Ark. —(UP*— Old Rip. a giant Opelousas catfish credited with great cunning and strength, has become the object of a con certed drive by fishermen who fre quent the shady pools of Little river. Veterans of the rod and reel declare the huge fish weighs be tween 75 and 100 pounds. Strange tales are told of him He has broken scores of trot lines, and once dragged e 30-pound weight able basket-bed of his own In * warm corner of the room, where he had slept every night for years. Bat, during the convalescence of bis new friend, he never once went near this formerly loved bed of Ms. Instead, he lived and slept on tlie far less comfortable couch, where the other dog lay. Thanks to the newspaper noto riety, a man came at l.ist to elate the hurt cur. He was an Irishman whose pet dog had been lost in ttoo streets. He had been looking for ft for weeks and had been guided to the Acton house by reading the tale in the papers. The description of the waif seemed to fit his loot chum. At sight of the man, the nearly well dog went wild with joyous e* citement. Turk looked earnestly for a moment from his protege to the owner. Then he seemed to under stand, For he did not snarl at the Irish man as he had snarled at other human Intruders. Instead, he step pod down from the couch and walked sndly out of tlie house. He realized his work was done, and that his new friend was going away. He was wise enough to see that here was a glad reunion be tween a dog and Its master, and that he himself had no part in ft. Turk’s long vigil as a nurse and comrade was at an end. He had lost his beloved new pal; the dog he had found writhing and scream ing In the street where a careleaaly drlven motor-car had evident!* struck him; the dog he had brought, home with him and tended so care fully for weeks. Out into the garden Turk strode, and thence to the street. He did not stay to say goodbye to his de parting pal. Nor did he come baefc: to the house until several hour* after the Irishman had canted hla newly-recovcred pet home witft him. Tlie next time a visitor brought, a dog to the house, Turk flew tit the Invader with all his olden furyu FRANCE PLANS NEW AIR BASE Paris — (UPJ— France’s deter mined effort to improve her lore® of the air will take a new step forward when a skeleton air ba* is established at Salon-de-Pro vence, 50 miles from Marseilles.
