DOG GUARDED A LOST BOY

Even a Chicago Policeman Couldn’t ...Rout “Fox” From His Little Master’s Side. Chicago.—Every child who has read with tears in his eyes the third reader story of “Faithful Fido,” the dog. shot by bis master because he had tried to remind him of forgotten saddle bags of gold, will have respect for this pet fox terrier. Irvin Spitza. 4 years old, wandered far from his home. “Fox” knew that the child was doing wrong, but decided to keep good trace of him. The dog remained at the child’s heels until the latter fell asleep tn a. doorway. The dog was the aggressor iater in an argument with a policeman, who found the pet cuddled on his little master’s lap. The policeman was unable to rout the dog with safety to himself, so he called for a patrol wagon. At the same moment his telephone message reached the station the father of the boy was there asking that a search be made for his boy. When the wagon reached the place the lad was awakened and father, boy and dog were overjoyed.
