Every year added glory to Tip’s record, but he was growing old. And at
last a remark was incautiously dropped by mother that she did not know how
much longer he could be tolerated about the house.

The next morning Tip was again missing and found at Cousin Tenbrook’s,
but not to return. No entreaty or command could move him. Not a look
would he bestow on my mother. He had left us, and all previous relations
were ignored for the few days remaining to him.

Then we claimed him once more, and this time without resistance. Sol-
emnly we brought home all there was left of Tip, and committed to the one
poor pine slab the only record we knew how to make of his sagacity and
intelligence.
