OUR PROTECTION
My only protectioa against burglars.
wis my dog Jack. Ciiforttinatsly be
was either hard pf hearing or be could
not discriminate, between friends. and
foes, but by the time I had ewrred Jack
fortnight none of my friends would
come near me.
So I followed the axappls of ths
down at the drcos who owned an elas
tic dog. I took him In at night and
let him out in the rnorubg. Jack bad
his chair in the sitting room, close to
veranda and a window," from fwhlch
the side gate could be seen andpast
which the sidewalk extended for a
square or so, oars beta? the last house
on the block. - - -
I sometimes wondered myself if I
was not as much afraid of tbe dog
as of the burglars, but he neves moved.
from his post, and I became used to
his low growls and barks if any one
passed, which did not often happen.
One day a company of friends came
from the city and stayed over night
at my earnest solicitation, ' We sighed
several times during the evening, "On,
for a manl": But there was not one of
those useful bipeds in the company,
After tnusle and a late supper we told
ghost stories and ended up with bur
glar experiences, by which time there
wasnt fe thimbleful ot brains among
us nothing but hysterical fears and
nervous tremors. .
Then we had a good deal Of trouble
in composing the dog. Seeing new,
faces seemed to disturb htm, and ha
was full ot tow grown that in
threatening and belligerent He want
ed to fly at each one ot my friends sen.
arately. Then be tried to take them
collectively, but I hung on his collar
with both hands, while Hannah coax
ed him with a bone, and we finally
landed him In the old chair, which was
his throne by day in the woodshed and
his couch by night in the parlor. Once
there, be curled himself up for keeps,
while , the rest of us scrambled up
stairs and shut ourselves into our sev
eral apartments, ; : - : i ,
It was tbe noon of night and as light
ss day with a full moon when I was
a wakened by .hearing some one at my
door and a small feminine voice call
ing in. hushed syllables, "Let me in;
oh, let me in!" and I opened the door
Instantly and saw a company of ghosts
In the ball, each one ot whom whisper
ed in accents that clove to the roof of
her mouth: -' ' :
"Burglars, burglars in the house"
I whispered back, with clattering
teeth "It's Jsckr
Jack was Indeed making a remarka
ble demonstration. He neither barked
nor growled, but made a strange hiss
ing noise that I am told is native to the
bloodhound alone and is the most awe
Inspiring threat that a bloodthirsty dog
cm make. -
Don't" said one of my friends as I
wss about to turn on a light -
If you do, tha burglars will see us.
Let us look out of the front windows.
It Is as light as day, and they will not
know that we have seen them."
8o we crept, hand in hand, with two
frightened children clinging to us, to
the windows, stooping low so that we
could not be seen, and, sure enough,
two men were walking along softly in
the middle of the road, coming directly
toward the house by the side where
the dog was on watch, and no doubt
they were quite unconscious that there
was any dog on the-premlses, for when
they reached the door they stepped
upon the sidewalk, opened the gate
noiselessly and climbed the two steps
to the veranda. 'r
.. During this time the dog had kept
up that same peculiar expression of
his anger, and I had seised tbe seven
shooter and was' grasping it in a cold
and shaking hand, but the moment ths
two men stepped on the veranda the
dog sprang from bis chair to the table
and threw himself against the window
with a yell of rage that was like the
roar of a wild animal followed by that
long, baying cry familiar to those who
hate ever heard a pack of bloodhounds
give tongue. 1
-- We all thought the window was bro
ken from the easement, that perhaps
tbe men would shoot our only protoct
or and make their way In, but in a
moment we were reassured. Tbe noise
the dog made prevented pur bearing
anything, but we saw the two men go
ing sway, at first slowly, then faster,
