the punishment for wrongdoing administered to his 
victim. 
We caught him at it several times. During one of our 
Sunday afternoon walks the two dogs were some dis- 
tance ahead of us trotting along together, when Jacob 
turned out of the road and disappeared through a hedge 
that grew beside it, Dick, of coxirse, following close at 
his heels, too far off to hear, or at all events oblivious 
of his master's whistle. ^'V^len we arrived at the point 
of their departure there was no sign of them; but short- 
ly there arose from some nearby barnyard a terrible com- 
motion of cackling, squawking and screeching. Then we 
saw Jacob quietly steal across the road somewhat ahead 
of us, settle himself upon his haunches and complacent- 
ly watch for developments. Immediately we heard some 
profanely einphatie language, accompanied by the sound 
of a whip, and Dick's voice raised in remonstrance, and 
looidng up a crossroad to which we were come we saw 
otif culpi-it run forth from a gate closely pursued by two 
men armed With whips. There and then it cost Tom two 
dollars to settle for slaughtered chickens. 
If, during that entire performance, Jacob did not look 
on with keen malicious delight and satisfaction, a dog's 
face has no expression. 
A more glaring example of his duplicity was on an- 
other occasion, when he deliberately and persistently 
provoked a high minded and well-bred setter that he 
met in the road to threaten him, whereupon with a 
plaintive voice he called for Dick, and when the great, 
friendly brute came rushing to his rescue, the villain set- 
tled himself into a comfortable position and licked his 
chops in anticipation of a rare treat. But this time Tom 
was too near by, and the wicked one, for once, got his 
just deserts. 
I really did not blame Dick very much because of his 
fondness for his rascally friend, for he was as politely 
clever as he was perfidious. He was one of those subtle 
villains who charm us despite our knowledge of their true 
character. When a heavy truck run over him and thus 
brought his career to an abrupt though perhaps timely 
close, T could not but sympathize with our dog in his 
evident affliction and distress. 
But all too soon there came evils from which no dog, 
however faithful, could protect my friend's family. An 
unfortunate accident, followed by a long, critical illness, 
changed his mistress from a strong, happy, active woman 
into a helplessly crippled invalid. So the pleasant home 
over which he had stood guard so loyally was given 
up, and Dick, rather than that he should suffer the con- 
finement of the city, passed to a kindly owner in a differ- 
ent locality. 
A year or two later I had occasion to be in the neigh- 
borhood of his new home, and as I stood at the way- 
side talking with a man, a carriage came up the road 
with a great dog bounding beside it. It was Dick._ He 
knew me at once, and rushing up, greeted me with a 
delight manifest and effusive, entirely forgetting in his 
demonstrative greeting the mud covered condition of 
his huge paws. Then with, a wistful backward glance, 
and a farewell bark, he bounded off to overtake his con- 
voy, and as he disappeared around a turn in the road 1 
saw my last of Dick. Edmund R. Terry.

Ametican Dachshund Club. 
The American Dachshund Club held its eighth meet- 
ing for the election of officers, etc.. May 19, at the home 
of Mr. Arthur Froembling. As the president, Mr. Louis 
Boening, had been called South to the war, Mr. J. R. 
Walker presided. The minutes of the last meeing were 
read and accepted, as was also the financial report. Com- 
munications from outside members were read, after 
which the following officers were elected for the ensuing 
year. Mr. Arthur Froembling, President; Mr. Albert 
Nelson, Vice-President; Mr. James R. Walker, Secre- 
tary and Treasurer; Dr. C. Motschenbacher, delegate to 
the American Kennel Club. As stated above, Mr. Boen- 
ing has been called away, which necessarily kept him oft' 
of the new board. The club hopes, however, to be able 
to elect him again at some future meeting.

The usual Decoration Day events by which the yacht- 
ing season is now opened were of less tlian ordinary in- 
terest this year, a fact that may be accounted for almost 
as much by the extraordinary weather as by the war. 
The latter has had a decided effect upon the steam 
yacht fleet, as many yachts have been purchased by the 
Government, while others will not fit out, but the laying 
up of the larger yachts, steam and sail, is likely to react 
favorably rather than otherwise in increasing the in- 
terest in' racing and the smaller classes. Plere, however, 
the weather comes in, and the fitting-out season has 
been marked by six weeks of steady rain, during which 
time it was impossible to scrape, paint or varnish, while 
the few yachts in commission found the weather most 
unpleasant for cruising. • 
The triple holiday, from Saturday noon to Tuesday 
morning, was celebrated by yachtsmen in all parts of the 
country, most of the clubs opened their summer sta' 
tions with appropriate ceremonies, the yachts in com- 
mission were under way, and a number of local races 
were held. , , -n 
With the coming of real summer weather much will 
be done to remedy the enforced delay of the wet sprmg; 
and though the opening of the season will be late, there 
is good reason to anticipate a fair amount of sport by 
niid-summer.
