and examine the wondrous cargo he had 

 brought home. As the Provost and other 

 dignitaries were sitting at dinner in the 

 cabin, the former's pigtail was vigorously

pulled several times, and at last the Provost, 

 being unable to stand it any longer, turned 

 round and addressed the puller thus : 

 " Come that gait again, laddie, an' I'll 

 pit ye in the hert (prison) of auld Aber- 

 deen." " What's the matter with you, 

 Provost ? " said the captain. "Oh," said 

 the Provost, " that laddie ye hae 

 fasen wi' ye has been tug-tug- 

 tuggin' at my tail, till the hair is 

 near oot at the reets." " ' Laddie,' 

 did ye say ? " replied the captain ; 

 " why, that's a monkey," and mon- 

 key sure enough he was. " Monkey, 

 do ye ca' it ? " answered the great 

 man. " I thought it wis a Wast 

 Indian planter's son, come hame 

 tae oor university for his education." 

 Sir Paynton Pigott's kennel of the 

 breed assumed quite large propor- 

 tions, and was most successful, 

 several times winning all the prizes 

 offered in the variety at different 

 shows. He may well be called the 

 Father of the breed in England, for 

 when he gave up exhibiting, a great 

 deal of his best blood got into the kennels 

 of Mr. H. J. Ludlow, who, as everyone 

 knows, has done such a tremendous amount 



of good in popularising the breed and has 

 also himself produced such a galaxy of 

 specimens of the very best class. Mr. 

 Ludlow's first terrier was a bitch called 

 Splinter II., a terrier that has been 

 called the Mother of all the breed 

 and did a quite unfathomable amount 

 of good to it. The name of Kildee 

 is, in the breed, almost world-famous, 

 and it is interesting to note that in 

 every line does he go back to the said 

 Splinter II. Rambler called by the 

 great authorities the first pillar of the 

 stud book was a son of a dog called 

 Bon-Accord, and it is to this latter 

 dog and Roger Rough, and also the 

 aforesaid Tartan and Splinter II. that 

 nearly all of the best present-day 

 pedigrees go back. This being so, it 

 is unnecessary to give, in this chapter, 

 many more names of dogs who have 

 in their generations of some years 

 back assisted in bringing the breed to 

 its present state of perfection. An excep- 

 tion, however, must be made in the case of 

 two sons of Rambler, by name Dundee 

 and Alister, names very familiar in the 

 Scottish Terrier pedigrees of the present 

 day. Alister especially was quite an ex-
