rushed up to him with the burning fuse and the cartridge still on its back..

The terrified quarryman rad away, while the dog, thinking that it was a game, romped after him. The man ran to a disused quarry which was filled with water, and dived in. He was unable to swim, and the dog, which followed him into the water, thereby putting out the fuse, dragged its master to the bank and barked for assistance."

The man was carried home, suf- fering from shock, by woodcutters, with the reprieved dog trotting cheerfully behind.
