Richardson of Harrow became
a dog trainer, fals pack of bloodhounds
besng a famed lot. It was Major Rich
ardsoa who trained the dogs which
did such good work by picking up
wounded sc idlers on the battlefields
°f Manchuria and which helped the
Spaniards at Mellila.
Even before that both France and
Germany realized the possibilities of
trained dogs as auxiliaries to their
gendarmerie and police forces. In
Russia, too. the dog policeman is
known. A story Just reached here
from Moscow about a dog known as
Ttef. which is becoming a perfect ter

notes and other valuables had been

He was put on the scent of the

route, entered a night shelter, making
straight for an old coat belonging to
a bouse painter, who was known un

of PM rubles, which had been stolen
from M Pokrofsky. was found In one
of the pockets of the coat.

for the "swearing in" of any dog con

their own from Major Richardson,
with very satisfactory results.
"It Is no use having a dog that
won't bite." says Major Richardson.
' "and these dogs. If they catch hold of
a man. will worry him Just like a rab

wears a specially contrived muzzle,
which prevents him picking up poison.

MY HATED RIVAL
AND A LAME HORSE
By C. C. HAHN
*■■■■■■■■■■■wmm■■■■■■■■■■wmmMl■■*■■■■■■■■■■
I had left the lady of my heart at
her home In a little village In the
northern part of the state while I
came to the city to make my fortune.
In the meantime, however. Marian
Phillips was true, and life would have
run along very peacefully had It not
been for a hated rival. He had money,
while I was. as yet. a mere clerk. And
there was no one In the little up-coun
try town to say a word In my defense
except one person, her Uncle Tom.
At length there came a heart-rend
ing letter from Marian In which she
told me of dire persecution to compel
her to marry my rival, and closing
with an expression of fear that there
was a conspiracy on foot to kidnap
ficr—on some pretext or other to get
her over into Canada, where she could
be concealed from mo,
1 did not give much thought to the
latter possibility, but the fact that
Marian was afraid was enough for
me and I started back home the next
day. 1 likewise took along a wedding
suit
At Bronxton we reached the end of
our journey by rail; from which place
an ol.!-t'ashioned stage line perpetu
ated Its franchise by means of an
open spring wagon with three seats.
In the waiting room of the station. I
met two fellow travelers whom I had
seen on the train but had not rec
ognized. Years had passed since I
had met Mr. and Mrs. titles, the re
spected uncle and aunt of my hated
rival. The revelation if their identity
filled me with undefined fears. What

from Massachusetts to the old home

face. Thankful that they did not rec
ognise me. and unwilling to reveal
myself at that time. 1 gave try name
as James Lacey, of Springfield, when
we negotiated for seats with the stage
driver. A breakdown near a small
town created a diversion in the mo
notony of the trip. and. walking on to
the village, which was only a mile
away. 1 hired a two-seated sleigh,
and inviting Mr. and Mrs. Giles to
accompany me. we renewed our Jour
ney. Again Fate seemed to have It
laid up for me. We had gone no more
than half a dozen miles when one of
the horses went dead lame, and we
barely reached a halfway house by
night. The driver assured us the
team would be all right by morning.
Half an hour later. I saw a team
standing In front of the tavern—a
team so exactly like the one behind
which we had labored for half a day.
that I ran out to ask our driver what
he meant by hitching up again. Rush
ing around to the barn I found the
driver in conversation with a long,
loose-hung young man with a feeble
Jaw and hay-colored hair, dressed in
his Sunday best.
“All right. Hank," I heard the driver
say. and with an Involuntary start 1
stepped back into the shadows. Hank
Collins was my hated rival, and this
was he!
"Be sure and rub my team down
well. Pat.” my rival was saying. *Tve
got to get back to Elmdale tonight.
Came over to hire Johnson's two
seated sieigh. Just got news that I
will have to run over Into Canada.”
“A man doesn't need a two-seated
sleigh to do that!”
"He does in my business.” was the.
to me. suspicious reply.
"There are others going with me and
I know a fellow down state that would
give his head to know about it. I'd
like to see his face when he finds out
we have turned the trick without
him.”
Could anything be more conclusive?
Marian’s fears were well founded. I
had arrived In the nick of time to
save her. A shiver passed through
me. In an instant I saw the whole
plot.
I began to reason. Either Hank
Collins must not get to the old home
tonight or I must get there before
him. But how? Then the thought of
how hla spirited team exactly
matched my owu lame and tired one
flashed through my mind and my
plans were laid In an instant.
“Pat.” I said, after the driver ha'd
returned with Hank’s team acd sta
bled it. "Have you had your supper?”
“Nary a bit.”
"Go and get It as soon as you have
nibbed down the team. And—here’s
|5 for saying nothing-”
“Sire I can do that easy.”
“I must get on to Elmdale tonight
The lady and gentleman who were
with me will come in the morning
Say nothing about It. hut after you
get your supper come out and hitch
up for me."
"But that lame horse!"
“The hour's rest will make him all
right!” He mumbled a little, hot the
$5 bill was a wonderful argument
As scon as he was gone I changed
the location of those two teams, so
that the lame horse was In Hank's
stall and his fresh team standing
where Pat had left my own weary one.
Thts job safely accomplished. I
went In to my own supper, recalling
as 1 stepped inside the house that. In
a moment of forgetfulness. I had
signed my true name. Mark Hatha
way, on the register, and there was
my hated rival standing at the desk
reading the list of guests.
Whatever scheme might be on foot.
I soon noticed that the nephew was
making a successful attempt to avoid
the uncle, who clung persistently to
my side. At length, however, we cor
nered one another at the hall en
trance. and to my amarement the
younger man was embarrassed at
meeting his relative.
‘ You here?" was his only greeting
as Vncie Silas grabbed him by the
hand and hastened to introduce me as
“Mr. James Lac«y, of Springfield."
"Mr. James l^tcey, of Springfield."
repeated Hank, open-mouthed in as
tonishment. "Why. I thought-"
"I am glad to learn." 1 hastily
broke in. "that you have been able to
arrange your trip to Canada."
Hank shot a gleam of hate at me
! as his uncle exclaimed;
"Going to Canada? You don't mean
to say-"
I withdrew, and 15 minutes later
Pat and I were on our way to Klra
dale, conscious that if Hank followed
he would have an ail-night job with
| a lame horse. Before midnight 1 had
told the whole story to T'r.cle Tom.
and early in the morning we drove
over to Marian's.
Hank was not there, but his father
| was. and he glared at me In such a
belligerent manner that I Immediately
took Marian in my arms and kissed
her.
“Young man." he said, spreading a
pious mask over his face, "do you
mean to say that you have come up
here to take this innocent girl away
from her home and friends and marry
her against their wishes?"
“I certainly Intend to marry her," 1
ii-l'neu.
"Oh. Marian. Marian." continued
Pa Collins: oh. little Marian, who has
been In my Sunday school class and
grown up under niv eye. kin you. t
ask. kin you so far forget yourself as
to marry this man?"
"I certainly can and will." came
firmly from “little Marian."
"Then." spoke up Uncle Tom. "the
laws of the country having been com
plied with, 1 as clerk of the county of
Wooster certify that you are man and
wife."
They — are — man — and — wife!"
asked Pa Collins.
“1 am g’.ad to hear you pronounce
them so.” Uncle Tom flashed back be
fore any one else could speak. "That
was all that could possibly be neces
sary to make the marriage regular, i
Valid it was. anyway."
"What do you mean?" demanded
both of Marian's parents in one
i breath.
"What do I mean? I mean just
j this: That Mr. Collins being a jus
j tice of the peace, having asked each
one of these young folks if they would
have each other, and both answering
■yes,' he has pronounced them man
and wife, and I as clerk of the county
court will be obliged to make out a
certificate for them to that effect.”
"That's so." Pa Collins ejaculated,
sinking back under the weight of the
blow. “But I never thought of it.”
What more might have teen said
or done no one can conjecture, for
just then there was a jingling of
sleigh bells and Uncle and Aunt Giles
burst into the room.
"Do you know what that scoundrel
of a son of yours has done?” Uncle
Giles cried, shaking his fist In Pa Col
lins' face. "I sent him $5.0)0 to in
vest in the Canadian Muffler company,
with a written agreement that If he
should ever wish to sell out he would
notify me so that 1 could protect my
self. Last week he made a fraudu
lent assignment without mentioning
J me as a creditor, and today he was to
have gone to Canada with the three
! men he assigned to, where the assets
were to be turned over, and I would
have lost my money. But Providence
was on the side of right, for by mis
take he got a lame-horse out of John
son's livery stable.
"So it was Hank's horse that got
mixed up with yours?" asked Uncle
Tom. with a twinkle la his eye.
“It was."
"Then Providence was good to us
all around, for I own half the shares
in the Canadian muffler business, and
Marian's wedding portion would have
been considerably reduced If you
hadn't managed to make the ex
change,. Sister, shake hands with
your new son."
The Brighter Side.
One of the easiest things In the
world Is to form the habit or grum
bling. The occasional discontent at
one's lot soon develops into chronic
pessimism, a state of mind that sheds
gloom around and completely over
shadows the natural brightness of
every normal, healthy being.
There's an old saying that puts the
matter in a nutshell: “If ycu can't
have what you like, like what you
have.” Try to see the good that may
lie far beneath the surface of your
iot, but in the effort to unearth It
there will be developed a greater
I strength to withstand the harder
! knocks of the world.
The grumbler is a very unwelcome
person. He is in a constant state of
displeasure with everything in general
and with himself In particular; it is a
reputation that few of us envy or !
covet, and one that if care be not used
in the daily attitude toward hfe. will
grow upon us until we are the slave*
of a disagreeable habit.
