An hour later I was in ray bachelor apartments (the work of the surgeon finished,) and feelkg that f3 - - ------ v.iiiH jiinu ii 1 ought to be thankful to have come off with my life. I was in for a siege of many weeks, and 1 had some business which must be attended to by an out-' sider. Therefore, after a day or two, I sent for Captain Jack Williams, an old acquaintance. Henswe.ed promptly enough, and we soon made very satis factory arrangements:- He was abluff, houast fellow, oat of active service, t n I having oothing to do, and the only un pleasant feature about his fiiendship was the fact of his owning a monster Russian bloodhound. The brute was his shadow. Where the dog could not go the Captiau would not go. He refused all parties and receptions because of the dog. He refrained from excursions by lurid or sea because he would be tem porarily separated from Czar, as he call- - ed the animal. The pair were well known in London, and the Captain was as safe at midnight in the slums as any other man would be in the Strand at noonday. One glance at the dog was enough to show that he was as dan gerous as tiger. He made no friends either among dogs or men, and had miraculously escaped a dozen well-laid traps to bring about his death. I hated Czar, and on two or three oc casions I had reason to believe that the fee ing was returned. When the Can- am called and round me laid up, lie bad tii in i i i it 1 sense enougji to know that the presence r toe brute niiIit annoy me and he 'lerefore shut him up in the servant's oora for a few minutes. The dog was . . ii 1 1 usually prompt in ooeuience. u;i tins occasion he obeyed in a grudging, sulky manner, and before leaving the room hreatened hie so plainly that I became pprehensive. 1 lie Uapt.un agreed that - T A 1 zar snoutu not enter, mv ick room gain, and in 'a couple of weeks I had orgotten idl about the incident. 1 had apartments on the second floor, hree rooms in a row, with a hall along he front of the last two. The first room was for my servant, a man who md been with me tor many years, lnc next w.is the reception room, and the hird my sleeping room. One coming lown the hall could enter at the dooroi i ' i ' tii i either room, me usaroonj ana recep tion room were connected, but the ser vant's room was entirely shut off. L was a hot day in Augn.-d, with all doors md windows open. 1 was reeling pret- y smart, although the pain was con siderable, mid a couple of my friend? had just departed, after a brief call, when Henry, my servant, came in tose what he could do for me. I was flat on my back, as you know, with no chance to turn over on account of the leg, but 1 had him prop me up with two or three pillows. 1 then sent him for ice. He had but a few steps to go, audtthe doors were left open behind him. He had been gone about five minutes when in walked Capt. Williams1 Russian bloxl- hound. 1 shouldn't have said walked: on the contrary he came running in. head up, tongue out, and his eyes as red as live coab. I saw him the moment he entered; anil it passed through my brain like a flash that he was mad. The door leodimr into the hall was open, lwice as tne uog eircieu arounu m .i i it l the room he seemed on the point of go- in? out. but each time changed his mind, whined in an uneasy way, and then continued his cireling. He did not look for me. nor at me. It was a large room, with the bed against the wall and from the way the brute bumped asrumst the chairs 1 believe he was nearly blind. He had leen with me two or three minutes when the hall door was enught by a draught of wind and slowly pulled to It did not qrute shut. The dog noticed the movement, sprang to get out, and the result was that he pushed the door shut and snap ped the spring lock. The door leading in the reception room was still open, but the door from that into the hall was shut. The animal rushed into this room, upset a chair and bumped the table, and then came back whining, his tail down and his courage gone, and slunk under my bed. That the dog was suffering with hydrophobia there could be no doubt. As he returned from the reception room there was foam on his jaws, and he was ;o weak he stag gered. Had I been a well man and fully armed my situation would have been bad enough. There I was, perfectly helpless, locked in with the brute, and knowing that it might le hours before death eanw? to him. Mv servant had a key to the loor, arjd when he return ed he would open it and walk in. There was not thi; slightes question but that the dog would at once attack him. had two or three minutes in which to to think, and it was wounderful how clear headed I was. 1 looked upon my own chances lis hopeless, and therefore determined that when Henry returned I would call out to him icfore he rot the door open. I was also concerned for fear the dog would get out of the bnildini?. It Warf a crowded nei'hbor It is said that the presence of a great danger sharpens the sen of hearing. I believe this to be true, for I have had several personal experiences. As i lay there waiting for mv servant to retnrn I plainly heard sounds which could not have come to my atrs under -ordinary circumstances. At the foot of the sec ond flight of stairs, n distance of fully 70 feet from my bed, Henry was stop ped by a young man who lodged ou that floor. I heard him say; "I was waiting here to tell you that Capt. William's bnrte of a dog passed up stairs a short time nflo. 13 the cap tain there?" "He wa3 not there when I lef tn "And he has not come in after the dog. The animal had a scary look, and you'd better be careful how you drive him out." kThankyo, sir, I'll hurry right up." I heard my man conje up stair.- and along the hail. As sooli as he saw that niy bedroom door was shut he s.'emed to suspect the worst, and he acted like a hero. He came down the hall on tip toe, put his face close to the door, and sang out; "Colonei, I knrtw the big dog is in your room and I am going for help. If he comes near you shut your eyes and pretend to le dead." The sound of his voice pot the dog into a frenzy. He growled and snarled and snapped, and as the man hurried down the hall the beast rushed from under the bed with a dreadful howl and began rushing around the room as be fore After making the circle of the bedroom four or five times, he dashed into the reception room. There he cpiite overturned the center table, and in his fury he wrenched off a leg with his teeth and destroyed the upholster ing of the sofa. I was terribly excited, and had I given way to my feelings I should iiave screamed out like a woman. I shut my eves tightly, braced my nerves by chiding myse f for a coward, md when the climax came I was fairly ready for it. I knew that the dog would sooner or later turn to me, and as he ?t't the reception room ho was on the foot of the bed in two bounds. There wsis an open book lying there, and he -eized and worried this for a moment. riien came walking up to my face, bearing his full weigh on my broken eg, and giving me intense pain. My irins and hands were on the cover, and the foam from his mouth fell upon my bare flesh, lie put both paws on my chest, and ran his nose over my face to snuff at me, and he was all the time snarling and whining in a way to take the nerve away from the stoutest man. I don't know whether he. would have bitten me or not. could I have remain ed quiet, but such a thing as holding my nerves steady tor over a minute was utterly impossible. I was feeling that I must throw up my hands and tcream out when the beast leaped off che bad. He had heard people in t he hall. He ran about the room whining and snarling, and all at once made a spring for the door of the reception room, which was being shut to by hun an hands. A space six or eight inche wide was left, and when the dog at tempted to push his head into this, couple of bullets were fired into him and he backed out to fall dead. Henry had summoned two policemen, ana while the brute stood over me on the oed the faithful servant had entered the reception room and pushed the doo is nearly shut as they wanted it, hav ing believed that the dog would be have just as he did. That Czar was suffering with hydrophobia none coulci doubt from his looks .and conduct. In side of twenty days two house dogs which he had snapped at as he came up went mad, and then there was no further question that t had a clos shave from a horrible death. Ni'H York tiuti. Paying an Old Tebt. A merchant very extensively engag ed in commerce, 111 one of our Atlantic cities, died intestate February 18,18, at. thp iue of sevetitv-hve.

He asked if niy brother was not the executor of the estate. My brother replied that he was administrator as our father died intestate. uWeil ," s;&l the stranger, "I've come up from the Cape to pay a debt I owed the old gentleman." My brother requested him to take a sest, being at that moment engagpd with other persons at the desk. The old man sat down, putting on his ghisses, drew out a very ancient leather pwket-book, and began to count over his money. When he had finished, as he sat waiting his turn. slowly twirling his thumbs, with his old, grey, medita tive eyes upon the floor, he sighed, and I knew the money, as the phrase runs, "came hardY' and I secretly wished the old man's name might be found upon the forgived list. Mv brother was soon at leisure, and asked him the ordinary questions his name, residence, etc. ihe original bt was four hundred and forty dollars; it h:vd stood a long time, and with the interest amounted to between seven and eight hundred dollars. My brother went to his desk, and, utter ex- imining the forgiven list attentively, a udden smile lighted up his counten ance, and told me the truth at a glance. rheold man s name was there! My brother quietly took a chair by his side, and a conversation occurred between them which I shall never forget.

Medicinal Qualities of Buttermilk. For a summer beverage there can be nothing more healthy and strengthen ing than buttermilk. It is excellent for weak or delicate stomachs, and far better as a dinner drink than coffee, tea or water, and, unlike them, does not retard but rather aids digestion. A celebrated physician once said that if every one knew the value of butter milk as a drink it would be more freely partaken of by persons who drink so ex cessively of other beverages; and fur ther compared its effects upon the sya- : tern to the cleaning out of a cook stove that have sifted through tilling up erery crevice and crack, saying that ine nuraan system is like the stove ami collect and gathers refuse matter that can in no way be exterminated from ine system soertectually as by drinking nerves, ana is very somnolent to tnose who are troubled .with sleepless- ness. t I here is something st ran ire in the iii 1 , sp ' ' lact m people who are fond of butr- termilk never tire of singing its praises; while those who are fond of it are never weary of wondering how some people 1 " 1 t i-i m ... cn annK it. too far as possible, peo-.
