TALE OF A "TWO BOB" MONGREL

The strange mongrel following him around was worth two shillings at the most, thought Mr. Milford Jones. After B week of this patient shadowing" he was in-. clined to think even that was too generous.

But when he left his car in a side street at Porthcawi (Glam) a few nights ago, and went back to find the dog sitting in the driver's seat and doing a non-stop" tall- wagging act, he thought it not such a bad mongrel after all.

So Mr. Jones took it to his home in New-road, Porthcawl... to show his wife. They noticed that on its collar was the name "Bill Cutting."

The name was vaguely familiar Theri Mr. Jones remembered an' old friend of that name, whom he. had last seen when they were civil engineers together in Hongkong fiteen years before.

But that was impossible, too much of a coincidence to be true, The thought it couldn't be..

Mr. Jones reported the dog to the police. and they traced its owner, and gave Mr. Jones his address,

Sure enough it was the Bill' Cut- itng.

**NO TIME TO KNOCK"

"Bill saw me coming up the gar- den path with the dog. He re- cognised me and tung open the door before I had time to knock," Mr. Jones told the "Daily Mirror." "We greeted on another like long- lost brothers."

Mr. Cutting had come to live in Porthcawi raonth before, had found the mongrel and given him a home when no one else wanted him.

"I never thought we should meet again." Mr. Cutting said. ." It seemed certain that our friendship had begun and ended in China.

"And so it might well have done, but for the dog."

The mongrel is worth more than his weight in pound notes, at least

in the view of Mr. Jones.

In fact, all the two-bobs" in

the world wouldn't buy him.
