408 Modern Dogs. 



when they caught sight of Mr. Foxhound, when full 

 cry and in at him they dashed ; he turned tail and 

 ran into the shop, jumping right into a bin nearly 

 full of flour, that would hold about two sacks, the 

 varmints jumping in after him, when such a dust and 

 scuffle ensued it is impossible to imagine. No smoke 

 was ever so dense, and when all was quiet (which 

 was not soon), and the dogs got out into the street, 

 such a lot of sorry-looking rascals I never saw. 

 These Marbury Hall terriers are now extinct." 



There are, perhaps, some other strains of terriers 

 with reputations, whose names have not reached me, 

 and which might be considered worth notice here, 

 but, so far as I can make out, there are none besides 

 those already alluded to, producing progeny so far 

 true to type as to entitle them to a position as a 

 variety of their own. 



I may have written and quoted too freely about 

 these working terriers whose names do not appear 

 in the Stud books; my excuse for so doing is the 

 admiration I bear for them and because I wish to 

 do my best towards perpetuating such strains as are 

 most useful for the duties terriers were originally 

 brought into the world to perform. 



THE END.
