It was Zip, Doctor Elsworth's pet fox terrier that everyone thinks so smart and that everyone is talking about in the village these last few days because he found the silver the burglar had stolen from the Judge. If I had known it was he, I would not have pounced on him, but I was only half awake when I saw a dog trying to sneak into our kitchen.
"I hope none of this foolishness'll reach Mis' Elsworth's ears," she called, in a friendly voice. "I hope it won't," muttered Joe, fervently, and stood watching her till the old man pulled his sleeve. "Lanham may not keep his word to the girl. Best go down there, hadn't we?" The young man made no answer, but turned and ran. He longed for some one to wreak vengeance on.
She looked around to pet Zip and take him to the house and give him some cake and milk, of which he was very fond, but he and Tabby had both disappeared. The next day it all came out in the Maplewood daily paper, telling how Zip, Dr. Elsworth's little fox terrier, had tracked the burglar to the spot where he had buried his booty, and that they had recovered it all, not losing so much as a spoon.
