Something about an fl=inch drain hole on the campus of North Texas State College, Denton, Tex.,
bothers the dog. Since Jan. 21, he has kept a strange vigil, growing thin with the strain. As seen
in the. photo, he just sits and stares at the hole, apparently seeing something or hoping to see some-
thing. What it is, no one has discovered. The dog is not vicious ands submits to being led away, but
