CIP lives in Old Town when at home, is an under-sized cur with bright eyes and sharp cars, and is of badly mixed line He is owned by one of the State game wardens, whose duty it is to examine certain trains coming down from the game region. Every piece of game must be checked up and suspi cious packages examined The Maine law positively prohibits the tak- ing out of the State of game birds in any way whatever, As the people alight from the train, few notice a little dog dodging about among them, sniffing at this handbag and that bundle. Soon his master hears a little bark. He knows what that means, and, dropping every- thing, finds Scip dodging and nosing about the heels of a senger.
