It Refused to Be Comforted.

Mr. Henry Irving, the well-known actor, once took a fancy to a beautiful collie dog belonging to a Highland shepherd. The man was very unwilling to part with his dog, but the sum offered for It—s3oo—was a little fortune In his own eyes, and he resolved to sell It. There are two to the making of a bargain, however, as tne saying Is, and when the collie reached London It refused to be comforted. In fact, it was so unhappy In its new life, and Its misery caused Mr. Irving to foci so tincoin£prtable that he determined to restore It to Its old master. Imagine the dog’s Joy, and the shepherd's too, when the creature returned to Its Highland home. One Is reminded of the love of the Arab for his steed In rending of this pretty story.
