Through Eternity

One midnight fortnight ago a sedan coasted up to the cemetery of rustic Fairmount, N. J. A woman and two men got out. The men were carrying something that looked like a small coffin. Close to the mound of a recent grave, the men dug a hole in which they placed their burden. The woman dropped a handful of earth on the new burial, wept as the men filled the hole. The three departed in the sedan.

A midnight lurker saw this cemetery scene, took the motor license, notified police. Police would not reveal the names of the gravediggers other than to say that they were a Newark official, his sister with whom he lives, and a complaisant undertaker. Their explanation: they had buried Sport, 6. Irish terrier, family pet, whom their late mother, like a pagan warrior, had wished to keep beside her through eternity.
