DOG SEEKS AID FOR DYING

Whines In Vain to Obtain Help for Mistress Who Dies Suddenly. Los Angeles.—Doughboy, a pedigreed bulldog, owned by T. C. Stevens of the bond firm of Stevens, Page & Sterling, was credited with an almost human attempt to summon help when Mrs. Stevens’ aunt, Mrs. C. F. Endly, died suddenly at San Diego. The dog, a thoroughbred In which the owner takes considerable pride, was left in Mrs. Endly's care by Mrs. Stevens. During the night Mr. Endly was awakened by Doughboy. The dog was whining and moaning with such persistency that Mr. Endly fearing his wife would be disturbed, went to the door and calling softly to the dog finally induced him to go into the other room. Doughboy exhibited a strange restlessness, resisting all efforts to quiet him. The rhan was puzzled. Only after a considerable time did he induce Doughboy to He down. Then Mr. Endly went to sleep. In the morning he found his wife’s

lifeless body. Doctors were Immediately called. They pronounced It a case of heart failure and declared that Mrs. Endly had been dead several hours. ——
