L The Durham Chronicle â€" â€"_-rqâ€" - Mrs. Porter thought Sino could run faster than any animal she had ever seen. and he was obedient and sensitive beyond any dog she had ever known intimately. His long. silky tail. tho barometer of his spirits. waved in elation when he felt that he had done well. but at; an angry or threatening gesture from Dan. he tucked it between his hind legs to the point of eclipse. (the morning when Mrs. Porter came to the corral, Dan told her that while he lay sleeping duringj the night. Sino had pulled his sleeve- and awakened him to the foot that there was danger in the air. The shepherd jumped to his foot. and peering away down the; moon-whitened slopes he saw the. sheep-killersâ€"a long. grey, lean hound and her son. a black villain foaming with blood lust. Dan tired but missed and Sino rushed out at‘tor them. Dan shouted frantically for him to come back but Sino did not hear, Dan knew that one snap from the sheep-killers would crush the life from his little dog and as soon as they were a safe distance from him. they would let the little dog gain on them. and then they would turn on him. Dan rushed to where his horse "Deck" was pick- eted to tho corral, loosened him, sprang on his back and rushed after them. He could see the grey hound and the mastitl‘ in the distance, with Sino. a speck in comparison. behind them. All at once the greyhound whirled and sprang for her pur- suer ind Sino suddenly realized his danger. Dan said there was some- thing unutterably pathetic in the yelp of sheer terror with which the little dog turned and doubled back up the trail like a fluff of tumble- weed borne by the wind, while Dan raced to his rescue and screaming to him “Come Sino! Come, Come on, old fellow.” The greyhound leap- ed and missed Sino and the black mastin' darted ahead of ner and as he arose in his leap. Dan fired, and the greyhound turned and ran for Sine knew as much, if not more, than his master about the sheep, and he reriainly did the larger part of the work. His assistants were his power of scent. Vision of eye and instinct. He was not a big dog, and his body was covered with long, silky. fine hair. His legs were slmrt and their muscles were like steel Springs. ..â€"-.. o ‘ g Away in Nebraska on a ranch 'Smn lived. and it was here that Gene Stratt,0n_l’0rter made his ac- quaintanw.
