Another Dog Story. Some years ago it was
not uncommon in Connecticut 10 employ doys aa
motive power 10 light machinery. A Mr.. 80
had pair Of dogs which be worked together, on
a sort of tread mill, to drive some machinery.
Alter a while the motion of the machine was no.
ticed from time to time to be considerable relaFd


ed. The tender would go to the tread mill to seq
if the dogs were doing their duty Every thing


would be found going on right After q little
time, however, there would be another inteTrUP-
tion; the speed of The machine would be considerar
bly, diminished; and so it continued, until the
owner began to suspect his dogs were playing
some trick upon him. He accordingly set q
watch where all the movements of the animals
could be seen and the mystery was soon explained.
After the two dogs had worked together for
some time, one Of them was seen to step of the
tread mill, and seat himself where he could catch
the first warning of any approaching footsteps,


After he had rested while, he took his place on
the wheel again, and allowed his associate tor
Icve HIMSELF and if during his resting process,
any noise was heard as Of some one approaching,
the resting dog would Immediately jump upon the
wheel, and 60 to work as usual Thus these sa-
gacious creatures had contriyed bear each others
burdens; and had they known little more about
mechanics, and kept the wheel in q liuIe quicker
motion, the trick might never have been detected.
