can doabt his word he ia at present the happy possessor o fine scott ish estate and is what might be called a rich man but in the days of this dog story he was a young fellow alone in london he had been broaght up to expect to be rich and he knew very well that fortune woald be his very soon for the possessor of the estates to whom he was next of kin was dying by inches in his castle however he had never made overtures of friendship to lawrence and the yoong man was too proud to ask for help a certain little in come that he had had been lost how i do not know and the young heir was in as much need of earning his bread as though he had been a laborers son he was twentyone inexperienced a stranger in stonyhearted london and what small jobs of work he found to do hardly kept film alive at last he fell ill and matters grew des perate a little copying was all that he could do and the rent of his miserable room must be paid- he was reduced one day to a threepenny piece and was walking disconsolately along a certain street won dering where he would find food when the rolls he meant to bay were gone when he saw a batchers boy in his hlaeapron fly after a big brown dog- drag a half eaten ehop from his jiws aadkick him violently the dog moaned with pain and lawrence xfacaire obeying the impalse of the mo ment strode forward whats rour- miserable bit of meat worth will you take that and let the hungry brute have it he cried flinging the three pence to the boy the fellow grinned took the money re marked that a gent as paid for his way had a right to have it and walked off the dog having finished the chop fol lowed his protector home and up to the empty garret macaire 6miled as the creature crowded himself in at the door toa have chosen a poor master he said but he patted the brute on the head and allowed him to stay as long as he pleased when he betook himself away macaire never expected to see him again he himself was too ill to seek for work he remained at home all day t five oclock the dog returned and made his presence manifest by throwing himself violently against the door when macaire opened it he entered at once and thrusting his nose into his self- adopted masters hand dropped something from his mouth into his palm it was guinea bright new and sparkling aa though fresh from the mint jlaving offered this gift the dog ran about the room wagging his tail in a aelf- aatisfied manner and finally stretched him self out at the loot of the bed for a while macaire could not believe his senses but the money was an actual godsend he was too hungry to think long of how it came he spent it for food which he shared with the bruteand said his prayers afterward like a little child but being a scotchman he could not re fuse to harbor superstition as others might there was something that savored of the bupernatoral in this dogs apparent knowl edge of his condition and when on the following day the creature disappeared once more and returned about the same bout to deposit in his masters hand two silver shillings the matter began to take a very serious aspect in young macaires eyea any one would have been astonished bat you mast remember that lawrence macairs woe unnerved by iunesa priva tion and many longwitinned trial i often visited their old haquta in the form of birds or animals and- he had never laughd at her tales now be began to re member a certain faithful servant of the family carl by name aad rhfle caress ing the head of the dog and looking into the great brown eyea which he fancied re sembled those of that honest man he re peated his name carl he said liave you returned to me in this shape to help me in my trouble the dog rapouded by a ory of joy began to hcv uv fao arey i rrit repeated macaire again the jog bark from this moment t young scotchman really believed that this dog was no other than his faithful carl returned tohinl and the fact that day after day the creature never failed to return with some sum of money large or small hidden in his mouth confirmed him in this singular belief he honestly regarded the affair as a miracle but for which he must have starved or a least bean driven to tbe humiliation of receiving charity and he could not even have worked at the poorlypaid copying which had been his only hope london town with its bad air and adul terated provisions had been too much for the scotchman born amongst the heather and an illness which though not danger ous was lingering and weakening had fallen upon him however the doq never failed in his strange work he brought his master money enough to fee a doctor buy medi cines and food and hire a better room it was sometimes a small sum some times a urge one that he offered but he seemed to know what was needed macaire confided in no one certainly not n the prim coldeyed doctor who would have pronounced him delirious but he talked to carl as though he had worn mana form and loved him as well undwas as grateful to him r at last he grew better was well and as though fate had grown tired of illusing him the clouds all vanished from his horizon at once the fortune so long delayed became his the lawyers wrote to him and sent a check for present expenses and he went one morning to the bank of england to present it in person to his astonishment he found ou his arrival at the door that his dog was before him he sat solemnly upon the steps waiting for him had anything been needed to confirm macaires faith in the mysterious nature of this creature this would have added it the young man felt his eyes fill with tears as he caressed the faithful dog and whis pered my dear old carl i will never forget you never never v carl for his part lifted human eyes to his masters countenance preceded him into the bank and disappeared where macaire could not guess the drawing of the money involved dentin cation and the young man who had been unprepared for this waited in a little office while a neighboring stationer known to the bank and who knew him well was summoned as he waited for him laurence macaire saw te door move and a dark head thrust itself into the room- in a moment more a dogs body followed it it was carl he was in a state of some excitement and thrust his nose into his masters hand in a tremendous hurry when he withdrew it two guineas lay in- macaires palm and the dog with a low growl trotted away the first suspicion of the truth that had ever entired the young mans mind forced itself upon him at that instant he sat bewildered holding the money in his hand when the stationer entered with a clerk and having been identified he lingered wondering to himself what it was best to do about the money which no jonger seemed bjhim a super natural alms he began by addressing the cashier with a hesitating did you notice a dog anywhere about the bank im afraid mine is getting into miaohief i havent seen any dog here but carlo said the cashier we have a dog that in a measure belongs to us he used to be the property of a watchman of ours and- was quite free about the place he comes in when he likes hes a splendid watch dog but with us as mild as a lamb often and often he has run his head into my moneyscoop and kept it there until i patr- ted him however busy i might be hes rather a fierce looking fellow i hope he didnt alarm you hes quite safe i as sure yoa never bites any ooe no i rather admire him said macaire quite on his guard could t buy him do you think we cant learn where he lives w wed buy him ourselves mr macaire said the cashier too see old dobbs was a bach elor lived in a little hole of garret and hoarded qmla a stocking full of money ont of hi small wages and when he died carlo lost his home but he comes to bank aa regularly b i do every day and he baa its interest at heart he brought me a sovereign the other day found it some where i suppose a very interesting dog j lawrence macaire had very little to say the cashier wondered what be was think ing of so intently it was all quite plain tojjne young man atlas the watehmao who had hoarded tine of his position at the bank to teach his dog to steal money and bring it to him ko- body had suspected that the coins were licked up by the dogs rough tongue no body guoued that old dobbs was not an honest fellow macaire thooght the matter over for an hour or two and decided that it was not his duty to give carlo a bad name or to blacken the memory of the dead watch man he made an estimate of the total sum brought him by the dog inclosed it in and an envelope and sent it to the bank direct ed to the chief cashier and marked over paid to a stranger and carried carlo with him to his scotch e6tatewhere he had no opportunity to rob the bank of england and where ho afterwards became a very honest doggie his old nurse had betointbaliahitof declaring tort the tpmta rftoapibieap rtpoktogmrf he drinks he drinks too much- is the objection which is now most frequently urged -a- gainst applicants for business positions and decides the case against them they are not drunkards by any means if they were they would stand no show at all business men have got clear by the point where they will employ a man who gets drunk but they are now drawing the line at the man who is in the nabit of drinking he is a good salesman or a quick and ac curate bookkeeper pleasant obliging- and all that but he drinks too much he is just what we want if he would only let whiskey alone er would not fill himself up with beer yea smart fellow a real good fellow but he sets em up too often u es the place was vacant but

dont drink and iprefer them ive under taken to reform halfadozen bright smart young fellows but it always cost me more than they were worth and 1 never succeed ed after all i wont have em around such are the remarks which now prevail in the business world when the question of employment is concerned the man who makes a business of drinking who cannot let a day go by without taking something and that pretty often is being counted oat in competition even employers who drink themselves are not furnishing occupation for drinking clerks and assistants thotigpitstor farmers u the signs are right

plums in bis chair and at once began to eat them first waggishly saying i publish the banns of matrimony between my mouth and these plums if any here present know just cause or impediment why they should not be united you are now to declare it or ever after hold your peace the doctor heard the proclamation but said nothing till next morning when calling the boy up he grasped his wehknown instrument saying i publish the banns of matri mony between this rod and this boy if anyone knows any just cause or impedi ment why they should not ber united let him now declare it or ever after hold his peace the boy birnself said i forbid the banns for what cause asked tirf doctor because said tbe boy the parties are not agreed the boys ready wit pleased tbe doctor and the union wv indefinitely

mean for the cure of nervousness it takes one for the time being quite out ot ones self quite away from ones troubles and aches it must however never be exciting society for this sends tbe blood to
