her excitement. ; Never before had such
unexpected fortuno visited tKe modest
abode of the Boodles !
"Mr. MoConomy dead and, left you 1,

tone. "I shouldn't ha vo dreamed, of such
a thing.". - i .
"Suppose you should, Mrs; Boodlo,
'what then?" returned tho elated Mr.
Boodle, waving the letter In his wife's
face. "Suppose you'd dreamed he hadn't!
Take some dreams to unwrite this letter,
wouldn't It? " It would take a pretty pow
erful dream that could unmake poor old
Dlok's will, eh?" Hora'a thought struck
him. "By Jove! Wonderif they'll charge

to come out of tho estate." , ."('
' Mrs. Boodle often told her husband he
iwas a very mean man. He was.' "But
why has he left you 1,000?" she persisted.
i "Mrs. Boodle," returned Mrj B., with
that loftiness of manner which ) an unex
pected legacy often leads a man to assume,
'Mr. McConomy Is dead. "If eyer I meet
him - and remember your question, I'll
ask him. If you arc about, I'll let you

r "Not going to, my dear. I prefer to
it next the Uriver." And Mr, Boodlo
crammed his hat uponhls;head and rushed,
from the room. ."',''.
An hour later a double knock on the
street door disturbed Mrs.; Boodle while
building several pretty airy pasties on the
legacy. .. . I'. '" ' . .':: j
1 "A telegram, ma'am," said Mary Jane.
Mrs. Boodle tore open the envelope with
eager, trembling fingers. Married ladies
invariably open telegrams with eager,
trembling fingers. Query: Do they expect
news of a happy release? If Mrs. B. chor
lshed any such expectation, she was dlsop

check 100. Clerk will call for it. B. B."

They, live in the Rock church par

member of the family is the oldest
hoy, who has a fancy for stray dogs,
cats and other beasts. He is con
stantly bringing borne sore eyed kit
tens and neglected and abandoned
canines, only to have them , thrust
out iijto the cold world through the
back alley gate." One day last "week,
however, there fell into the young
man's possession, in that mysterious
way : in whioh some boys; "will m
spite of respectable parentage and
proper instruction acquire property,
a dog. that was different from other
dogs that he had rescued from a fate
more or less cruel. It was a good
dog never mind the breed or pedi
gree. Boy and dog became the clos
est and most intimate, not to- say
affectionate, friends almost at the
first meeting. The brute -was domi
ciled in the laundry for a few nights
until he could become accustomed
to the place. Thursday it was de
oided by the boy. that the time -was
ripe for giving the animal the free
dom of the .yard. Then it "was the
sire was warned by the son : :i :
! f 'Better oome out in the yard, pop,
and get aoquainted with ny dog.
He's a mighty good' watchdog, and
if he doesn.'t know you, you can't
get in when you come home to
night"' - -uv
"Oh, I, guess not That ! dog
wouldn't bite meat unless you but
tered it He'll never stay awake
long enough - to watch anything.
Just another of your worthless
strays." , '
And so pop was. not introduced to
.the new dog. : ' ' : ; '
j It was midnight when the head of,
the house arrived home from down
town, whore business had detained
him. He had not thought of a lion
in the way or anything else to mo
lest or make him afraid as he ap
proached the side porch, key in
hand. But the dog was there, and
he made' his presenoe manifest by
a warlike demonstration. Paterfa
milias paused, and there flashed
across his mind the boy's warning, j
He sought to open negotiations, but
the dog wouldn't negotiate. ; Then
bluffing was tried, but it i didn't,
work. . The dog, after the- first tu
multuous assertion of his presence
by bark of mouth, planted himself
squarely on top of. the porch steps
and kept his eye oh the ; intruder.
Every effort to advance iwas met
with a growl so ominous that it was
prohibitive. He was simply barred
tiut of his own house and forced to
beat a retreat
Driven arom the
side door, the
only one to which he had a key, the
next best thing was to yank the bell
at the front door. This was done
with energy and perseverance, but
it failed to arouse the sleeping in
mates. ; A roconnoissance of the side
yard was made. The, dog was still
. there and very wide awake. A gain
the bell, but to no good purpose. Then
the head of the house sat down oh the
front steps and for haU an hour beat
his brains to a frotb trying to devise
a scheme to get in. Then he lost his
temper and began an assault on tho
frontdoor that seemed to shake the
very foundation stones of the house.
The ; gentleman across the! street
raised his window and asked what
was wanted. The dog trotted around
the side of .the house and took a po
sition where he pould watch ;pro
ceedings. Still everybody in the
house slept soundly. Another as
sault on . the door brought forth a
growl from- the dog, and the win
dows of three houses across the
street went up and three 'night cap
ped heads conferred as j to whose
house was being burglarized. , The
shade trees concealed the' disturber,
but did not stop his ears to the com-
ments of his neighbor The dog
drew nearer, but didn't bark. He
just growled. The man sat down
again on the step. ; . j . f
For another half hour man and
beast eyed each other. Despair and
desperation battled in the breast of
the locked but dog besieged man.
Desperation . triumphed! He de

steps, with j one eye on the dog and
the other on a hit of limestone in

"'XOAO' AND
JDDD RITES OF -FAKIRS.
-"he Oejriooe - BoUdona
.'-i'-' AoPmotlod XnXndJa.
; The following interesting descrip
tion o! an Indian fakir is from a cor
respondent in Lahore: "Two days
ago I . returned from a ahorf trip
with a friend to the sacred city of
Ketas, where I had been before.:.
This time I saw several interesting
fakirs. There ' were the ordinary
blear eyed, ash smeared fellows, one
with long brown hair hanging about
his shoulders. There was one flabby,
besotted looking man, with practi
cally nothing on but ashes, who was
lolling lazily under a tree' looking
more or less inebriate and content
his back propped up by the tree, his
head on one side, contemplating
.with serene expression alternately
his well rounded paunch and a
brother fakir, who was performing
his, devotions very energetically a
short distance off. s
:i "This other was a, very lean man
and tall. When I first noticed him
he was seated in abstraction, Bud
dhawise, which is something like a
tailor sits,-only, that the feet-are
brought out on to the opposite
thighs, soles uppermost Ho was ap
parently contemplating his ' fire
, tongs, which were .stuck in the
ground before ; him. I Surrounding
him were a number of little fires.
After a time he took up his conch
shell and blew a blast, resembling
exactly the braying of a more than
usually melancholy-donkey. Then
be rinsed his hands and the-, oonoh
with water and stood up, He raised
his hands outstretched above ' his
head, and, placing the calf ! of his
right leg across the thigh ! of, his
left stood so, on one leg, in prayer
-for some time. " , 1 ;
"He looked leaner than ever like
this. His body was rubbed well
with gray ash, and his rusty colored
coarse hair was brought up in a
bunch above his head and tied firm
ly with cord so that the ends stood
up like a ragged brush, tipped slight
ly to one side. He reminded me of a
Christy minstrel. j
"When tho one legged prayer was
done, he dropped down again and
took1 another turn at the conch and
water.1 . Then he rose, stepped out
side" the fiery circle and began to
walk deliberately, with long strides, ,
round and round it. Suddenly he
threw himself down opposite one of
the fires, and then raising himself
slowly oh hands and toes, lowered
himself as slowly to the j ground
again two or three times, touching1
it alternately with his nose and top
knot He repeated this at every fire
with slight variations, sometimes
drawing his left knee right up under
.huh, so that the leg folded like a
two foot rule when he touched the
ground with his topknot This con
cluded the prayers, wh en he had an
other go at the conch and water,
after which he wrapped himself in
a shawl and went to bathe in the sa
cred tank, in whioh men, wumen
and children all do the same. 1 '
f "There are usually large quantities
of fish here, but when I inquired
why there were so few on this occa
sion I was told that so many people
had bathed there during the festival
a few days before that the fish had
died through the impurity of the
water I suppose. Yet as I stood, I
saw a woman bathing in one place,
a man in another, two children in a
third, while a girl drew water -lor

Heavy Turkish FIro.
I must draw attention to that fea
ture of the Turkish taotics which
stamped the war of 1877 with a
character of its own, a feature evi
dent in alt sections in which I took
part, in none more than in the one
under discussion. I refer to I the
quick fire of the Turkish infantry,
of such power, duration and effect
as had never before1 been dreamed
of. General Todleben wrote later,
"Such a shower of lead as that with
which the Turks hail our troops has
never .before been employed as a
mode, of warfare by any European
army." i It was more instinct, ex.
perience, silent consent and oonfi
.dence in their weapons than training
or formulated; rules which induced
the Turkish foot , soldiers to adopt
this mode' of fighting. I ; had wit
nessed quick fire drill in Widdin, but
I venture to say that it was not un
til after the first battle that the offi
cers became really conscious of ,the
terrific power of long sustained quick
fire.. ; i. f . . -: '
, Our orders were I briefly as! fol
lows: "As soon as yon know or sup
pose the enemy to be within range
of your rifles covery the: space pre
sumably occupied py him or pre
sumably , to be traversed by him
with quiok fire, independent of dis-
nee, duration, ulmculty or aim,
probability of hitting and consump
tion of cartridges.'? ' The awful ef
fect upon the opponent of this rule,
if carried out as literally and as
much con amore as it was by the
Turks, is apparent in the Russian
losses, and in the faot that through
out the Plevna campaign 1 the Bus-,
sian attacks, with few and unim
Xortant exceptions, collapsed, numer
ical superiority notwithstanding.

Wonderful tales have been told of
the marvelous instinctive' intelli
gence of dogs, but the idea of i con
sulting a canine oracle when a man
is contemplating: matrimony is a
new one. A French writer, how.
ever, says that before committing
himself a man should note carefully
how she whom he loves conducts
herself toward ' her parents and
friends, and, above alL how she
treats ordinary domestic animals.
"Beware. of a person whom children7
and dogs dislike," he says. "Dogs
may be our inferiors, but their in?
stincts rarely deceive them, and a
pronounced antipathy pn their part
may well be considered as a danger
signal.' 'NO compassion should be
felt for him who marries a girl
Whom dogs snarl at and dislike, for
he has had fair warning of domes tie
