Show Done Again! A motor car dashed along the country coun-try road. Turning a curve, it came suddenly upon a man with a gun on his shoulder and a weak looking dog beside him. The dog was directly in the path of the motor car. The chauffeur chauf-feur sounded his horn, but the dog did not move until he was struck. After that he did not move. The motor stopped and one of the men eot out and came forward. He had once paid a farmer for killing a calf that belonged to another farmer. This tlma'he was wary. "Was that your dog?" "Yes." "You own him?" "Yes." "Looks as if we'd killed him." "Certainly looks so." "Valuable dog?" "Well, not so very." "Will a sovereign satisfy you?" "Yes." "Well, then, here you are." He handed hand-ed a sovereign to the man with the gun, and added, pleasantly: "I'm sorry sor-ry to have broken up your hunt." "I wasn't ,roing hunting," replied the other as he pocketed the money. "Not going hunting? Then what were you doing with the dog and the gun?" , . "Going down to the woods to shoot the dog." London Tit-Bits. |
