 wagging her tail. I opened the cupboard, 

 and there lay the kitten on a tea-cosy ! I at 

 once called to my cousin, who had by this 

 time given up the hunt and was in her own 

 room. She called to know where it was 

 found, and I said, "Go down to the dining- 

 room and ask the dogs to show you." She 

 then went and said, " Dear dogs, do show 

 me where the kitty is," and immediately the 

 spaniel got up and went to the. cupboard, 

 looking at the door and wagging her tail. 

 They certainly both understood what was 

 wanted of them. The spaniel was born in 

 1887, and has been in my possession since 

 she was about six weeks old. The terrier is 

 about the same age, but I have only had her 

 since December, 1890.
