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-
