The doctor ex- presses his bellef that he will permanently cure the dog, although he has been a con- firmed flend for three years and ten months. Sport has formed a great attachment for Dr. McClelland and meets him every morning two blocks from his house, where he patiently waits for a chew of the weed.

It is supposed that Sport acquired the tobacco habit at a time when Mr. Mec- Gowan was camping in the higher moun- tain ranges of Tuolumne County. He was of course accompanied by Sport, who gocs with him on all of his journeys. In tie immediate vicinity of the place where the dog and his master were quartered was a sheep camp, the sheep having beea driven there for the summer, as the fead ‘Wwas scarce on the lower ranges. The herder had in his possession a quan- tity of tobacco which he used in making sheep dip to be applied to the skins of sheep having scale. The tobacco was dally disappearing in a mysterions man- ner, much to the consternation of the herder, who for a long time could not locate the pilferer. He continued to re- main in a quandary at the disappearance of his tobacco until finally his suspicionse rested on some of the numerous campers who were hunting and fishing near by. One day while pursuing his Investigations in order to catch the culprit, the herder was surprised upon entering one of the desired brandy: he entered. and at once proceeded to take pos: n of the place.
