FURTHER ADVENTURES OF LAD

by

ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE

FOREWORD

Sunnybank Lad won a million friends through my book, "LAD: A DOG"; and
through the Lad-anecdotes in "Buff: A Collie." These books themselves
were in no sense great. But Laddie was great in every sense; and his
life-story could not be marred, past interest, by my clumsy way of
telling it.

People have written in gratifying numbers asking for more stories about
Lad. More than seventeen hundred visitors have come all the way to
Sunnybank to see his grave. So I wrote the collection of tales which
are now included in "Further Adventures of Lad." Most of them appeared,
in condensed form, in the Ladies' Home Journal.

Very much, I hope you may like them.

CHAPTER I. The Coming Of Lad

In the mile-away village of Hampton, there had been a veritable
epidemic of burglaries--ranging from the theft of a brand-new ash-can
from the steps of the Methodist chapel to the ravaging of Mrs.
Blauvelt's whole lineful of clothes, on a washday dusk.

Up the Valley and down it, from Tuxedo to Ridgewood, there had been a
half-score robberies of a very different order--depredations wrought,
manifestly, by professionals; thieves whose motor cars served the
twentieth century purpose of such historic steeds as Dick Turpin's
Black Bess and Jack Shepard's Ranter. These thefts were in the line of
jewelry and the like; and were as daringly wrought as were
