Now and again a story comes along that so catches the public interest that it sweeps the country. Such a story has been going around for the past few weeks, gathering momentum as it went.

A man walks up on a chess game' and is astounded to discover that one of the players is a big setter dog' On one side of the chess board sits a man, on the other side this dog, and they both show the same deep interest in the game that chess players generally develop. The dog took his time, studied his plays, then moved, just as his opponent did.
