This was not a combat hotween monarch and monarch, fenefnl and general, or. cyviv between man and man,?It was i u duel hetwecn a man and a dog. 't'hte strange Incident was a trial hy combat in which, according to the * ; ' * ' ' >' . . ? V*". p-* jf " custom of the time, the judgment of j Ood was to decide the Issue and exonerate the inrtocent party. Aubrey ilii MontdldUer, a gentleman of France. In 1361- was traveling through the forest of Bondy accompanied only by his faithful dbg, when he was myateriously nvurdered. and his body buried underneath a tree In the wood. For several days the dog brooded over his master's grave until j on the Verpe of starvation, he left it I and returned to Paris. v When the poor animal arrived in he city. Instead of going to his old home ho wont to that of an intimate friend of Via master's and attracted attention by whining. barking and tugging at the man's Knrments. TteI'eving that something had befallen Aubrey whom the dog had novcr.loft In dhis njannor before, the friend allowed the animal to lead him to the forest of Hondy to fhe spot where Aubrey was buried, whoso body he soon discovered by digging where the dog seratehed the soil with his paw. Por a Iota? time tiie identity of the murderer remained a mystery, then no" day something happened which led to the trial. In the streets of I'nrls the dog came upon the Chevalier Macnlre and without ni?y warn.'ng made a vicious plunge at the ?-iievnlier's throat. So unusual and unprecedented was this net on the nart ef the dog. that suspicion was initnediately aroused against \Ht-iire. who it was then renicmborecV.had been one of* Aub-py's bitter enemies.
