A LADY and gentleman were 

 in the habit of leaving their 

 home inland for a month's 

 trip to tlie sea-side. Dur- 

 ing their absence their 

 favorite terrier, Dot, a 



sharp little fellow, Avas 

 left behind. Dot al- 



ways showed his 

 vexation at the 

 departure of his 

 master and mis- 

 tress by whining 



and barking. Until the carriage was out of sight he was not kept 

 in-doors without some trouble. 



One summer, when the lady was getting ready for the usual ti'ip, 

 she noticed Dot seated in the portmanteau, which was lying open 

 in readiness to be packed. Dot refused to leave the valise, and 

 remained in it diiring dinner-time. Xo offers of food could tempt 

 him to get out, and it Avas not till he had fallen asleep that he was 

 removed. Every year Dot thus took possession of the portmanteau, 

 which he evidently thought was the cause of the departure of his 

 master and mistress.
