Homeless Dog Wags Tail Whenever Scout Passes By A tawny-colored dog of neglected appearance found his place in the sun last week on the sidewalk in front of the city hall and Bee building, seem ingly dividing his time between the two buiidings. He sprawled out oil the walk as if heedless of the passers by, feet outstretched and head flat on walla and eyes closed. He was' a large dog.' People rushed by, gave the dog a look and hurried on, because one dog more or less did not interest them. This dog was homeless and had placed himself where somebody might take pity and say, "come along, poor old fellow, I will give you a home." But none seemed to want such a forlorn specimen of dog with out' pedigree or references. A boy happened along and stopped to pat the poor creature. The boy cast a pitying glance and in that language which only a boy and a dog can understand told the dog to cheer up. The dog wagged his tail and licked the boy's hand, which meant much in canine language The boy was a Boy Scout whose training taught him to be kind to animals. The lad .seemed to sense the dog's hapless condition. He skipped away and when he returned he gave, the dog a piece of sausage which the hungry creature ate with great relish. Every time this dog sees a Boy Scout pass by, he raises up his head and wags his tail as a salute, thinking it is the same Boy Scout from whom he received the remembrance. , R. H.
