The hard boiled outsider not ac quainted withthe ways, of, the world and the' workings of natur al laws would not look for unusual friendships in a prison; but in the Oregon state penitentiary :th are many attachments that unusually fine. ' But ' this hews story is a different. It is about the attachment be tween a deer and a dog.. While he was chasing an es caped convict over in the timber ed district of Tillamook county last summer, Guard N." J. Myers came to a cabin . in a clearing where the "children had a very young spotted fawn that had come to them tor protection. . HuntefMJ had no. doubt' Killed Che mother of ' the tiny orphan, ' and It. was almost starved to death when it wandered to the cabin haven. Mr. Myers gave the children a half dollar for their new pet, and secured the consent of the game warden to bring It "home." That Is, to the penitentiary. It has now grown to the size of a small sheep, and is sleek and fine and well fed. Friends With All The men but there have named this fawn Virginia: for she is a lady deer. Virginia wanders about the yard and is a friend to all. 41 She has never in her life. since being sentenced' to the pen itentiary, . had an unkind word or even motion and she has no fear at all of man or woman. She Is as tame as the tamest cat. Well,' just a few weeks ago the ion of Warden' Dalyrmple gave his father a "young Alrdale pup. and the pup also took up his resi dence inside the grim walls. The name of the pup is Pester. Virginia : has been in the habit of coming into the office of the warden and making herself --entirely free there. She, likes to stretch .out for I her , sleep on the carpet. . But so did and does 1 es ter... At first. Virginia , was, very jealpus of. Pester. ; She felt that he was usurping some of her priv ileges; taking some .of the signs of affection' that she regarded as exclusively hers. " ' ' ' ' - But i Is all different now. A great friendship, a pure attach ment; has sprung up between deer and dog, and pup nd fawn are boon companions. . They,.' will-eat. peanuts out of the same hand. They will per form tricks together for, things to eat. " Virginia will "stand1 on her graceful hind legs and reach' her fore feet onto the shoulder of any one who will offer her a tempting morsel of food. : ". ," " "The pup and the fawn "seem to have no faint Inkling of the nat ural antipathy ! that has existed throughout their ancestors "I tor ages, in tneir young jivesmey do not seem to know whlch: would be the hunter and which the hunt ed in case they should hearken to the "call of the wild."; So' Jar, there is no call" of; the wild for them. . : '.
