Now the dullest observer must see

which they cannot carry.

Catckia? a Tartar.
It is customary of late for canine sa
gacity to be illustrated at the footlights
as it has been for years in the highly
spiced literature of youth, but rarely
docs tale or tragic situation supply more
dramatic action or a more heroic aotor
than real life did the other night in this
city. There is a cozy little house at No.
465 West Twenty-first street, which for
some time has been occupied by Mrs.
A. J. Manson and her daughter. Both
are ladies of culture and refinement,
given to study and artistic occupations;
and, living alone as they did, with only
a couple of domestics in the house, they
found a guard and protector in their dog
"Rex." Rex is. a thoroughbred En
glish mastiff, two years old. He has a
great, sinewy body, covered with short
brown hair, and his teeth are fitted for
making fearful havoc. He is greatly at
tached to his mistress, and is ever on
the alert for any harm that may threat
en her, a watchfulness which a week
ago was of great avail. The residence
of Mrs. Manson, facing the grounds of
the Theological Seminary, adjoins a
house with a second-3tory balcony. An
expert climber could readily 'reach her
window, and by the use of it there is
reason to believe a burglar, or perhaps
a couple, made an entrance into the
house on the morning of the 4th inst.
It was about half-past three o'clock.
Mrs. Manson was sleeping in her bed
chamber on the top floor, where the
rooms of her daughter and the servant
girls are also located. The weather was
close, and through the open doors the
watch-dog, Rex, could move at will.
When he growled deeply and moved
across her room this morning Mrs. Man
son was aroused. Rex was upright and
listening. Again came the low, sullen
growl, and she presently heard him
slipping down the stairs.
Unmindful of mischief she was com
posing herself to rest, when a dreadful
scream of agony came up from the
room underneath, and the lady in a
flurry hurried out to the hallway and
down the stairs. She first believed one
of the servants had gone down and
been startled by the dog, but as she
roiched the end of the flight a figure
appeared at the door of the second floor
front room, which speedily showed her
the true state of affairs. A man was
tnere, a stranger, with uncovered head
and frightened face. The gaslight
burning dimly in the hallway showed a
close cropped head fixed on a thick
neck, with a florid, mustached face.
Over a grayish shirt was a black cuta
way coat, and he wore dark pantaloons.
Evidently surprised bv the dog in pil
laging the place he had turned to flee,
when the grip of the mastiff upon his
hand evoked that cry of pain. The
member was bleeding now. The door
knob he let go was red. In a twinkling
he had reached the stairs and was de
scending. But Rex, as cunning as
he, was at his heels, and gathering up
for a bound he drove his great tawny
body against the flying burglar's shoul
ders. The man went down as if struck by a
club and rolled head over heels to the
bottom, where he lay a moment dazed,
with the mastiff's body on his breast
and teeth in his flesh. The fall had
stunned him, but he was quickly recalled
to consciousness, and in a dreadful way.
Rex had seized him by the jaw. The
feet armed with sharp nails tore his face.
The canine fangs reached the bone.
Mrs. Manson, bravely following the
fugitive, heard that dreadful crunching
and her woman's heart was sickened.
" Don't, Rex!" she called, "Don't!"
The enraged mastiff, mindful of his
mistress' voice, drew back, and the hap
less burglar, who had been desperately
fighting with his fists and uttering fear
ful moans, made use of his chance.
With an oath he struggled to his feet
tnd sprang down the basement stairs,
with the mastiff after him. The kitchen
Is at the back, with the washtubsonone
side and a door at the end opening on
the yard. He had reached the latter,
but the dog tearing at him again com
pelled him to put his back against it
and fight with might and main. Mrs.
Manson found him so when she entered.
It was dark down-stairs, but the gray of
early dawn enabled her to see both the
contestants. Without a moment's hesi
tation the stout-hearted lady advanced,
but the fugitive, cowardly in his pain
and exasperation, sprang at her and
dealt her a couple of blows in quick suc
cession. The scoundrel's fist drove her
head back, and the second time it struck
her full on the chest and knocked her
bruised and half-stunned to the floor.
A third blow was coming when Rex,
who had to dash around the table to get
at the man, gripped him by the arm.
He turned away with a cry, shot back
the bolt and vanished through the door
into the yard. Miss Manson, coming
down then after her mother, found the
lady still upon the floor, with her eyes
upturned and barely conscious. She
aroused her, and after securing the door
thev went UD-stairs. Mrs. Manson 's
studio, where the dog had made the first
attack, was. topsy-turvy. The window
was half opened where the burglar had
tried to get out, but on the floor were
blood-drops, which had fallen from the
hand the mastiff had gripped. In an
inner room was spread in a sheet, ready
for removal, the "swag" of the night
various sealskin robes, some sets of furs,
an eight hundred dollar shawl, various
pieces of silverware, with eighteen linen
sheets and the dresses of the servants.
The whole was valued at several thou
sand dollars.
While the ladies and the frightened
servants were setting things to rights
Miss Manson, going to close the shut
ters, heard a bush in the corner of the
yard rustling. As she glanced toward
it she saw in the wan light a man's body
rise above the wall and go over it. In
another moment he appeared at the yard
door of a tenement house in Twenty
second street, and the next he was gone.
The burglar had clearly secreted him
self in the yard, probably in the closet,
when he broke loose from the mastiff's
teeth, and only about twenty minutes
later had made off.
The blows of the fellow's fists bad
hurt Mrs. Manson severely, but cot ser
iously, and the visitation of himself and
his accomplices, for he must have had
some, seemed at first to have been un
fruitful. On last Monday, however,
Mrs. Manson had occasion to go to the
writing desk in which she kept papers
of a most important nature. This desk
was in the room where the "swag" had
been spread, and on opening it she was
startled to find it ransacked and the
papers gone. The intruder's work had
been done more thoroughly than was at
first supposed. Close following upon
this came another discovery. On this
very Monday morning an attempt had
been made to poison Rex. A piece of
meat was picked up in the sitting room
on the second floor, which seemed to
have been thrown in from the street. It
contained a lump of cyanide of potas
sium, big enougn to poison an ox. Then
the detectives of the local precinct were
sent for and the case given to them. On
inquiry they learned that the burglari
ous entrance of the house on the 4th
inst. had been preceded by another
jrithin the same week. This time Mrs.
Manson was awakened by hearing Rex
scurrying down stairs as on the later
occasion. She fancied that she heard a
struggle on the first floor, but before
she could descend the dog came up again
and seemed to bar her progress. Think
ing nothing was amiss she retired. But
in the morning the front door was found
to be open and Rex's bleeding head bore
the marks of 1 slungshot.
No trace of the mangled burglar is
reported as yet. The case is still a
mystery. But there is little doubt that
Rex's teeth have set upon .-his face a
brand that should enable even police
gagacity to single him out as soon as. a
aome from corns. N. T. HermUL

And tho sad, pale face ?he saw ther

While a woman's gentlest pity
Filled the tender, childish hea-t.
Then a flna resolve rose in her
Lit the troubled little face.
Not a moment to be wasted;
Breathless, hurrying from the plae
On an errand fraught with mercy,
Straight she to her father sped:
Humbly kneeling down before him.
Lowly bowed the dainty head.
While the sweet lips red and quivering,
Fal ered out her anxious plea.
Told her pity for tho captive,
Bezged Sir Guy to set him free.
But he answered, sternly gazing
On the downcast face so fair:
Can our daughter doubt the justioe
Of the house of Atbeldare?
But we pardon thta, and tell you
Of our wise and just decree:
If this captive swear to serve us.
Wo will spare and set him free."
Then up rosa the little maiden
Dauntlessly, without u fear.
" Would you have a traitor serve us?"
Bang her voice out, sweet and clear.
And Sir Guy paused for a moment,
AU his anger troni him lied.
As he watched her, tlushed and eager.
While her cause she bravely plead.
Gravely smiled he as she ended.
Drew her gently on hi knee:
You have conquered, little pleader
You have gained the victory.
But your Princs must earn his freedom:
Not with bow or spear in band
We are weary of the bloodshed
Spread so long throughout the land.
Let him ask our court a riddle;
Six days' grace to him we give.
And the court three days to guess it;
If it fail, be then may live."
Once more in the pleasant court-yard
lanced the little maid in glee;
Surely he could nnd a riddle
That would save an J set him free.
But five long days and live nights passed,
And the Prince no riddle gave;
To his brain, all dazed with sorrow,
Came no thought his life to save.
And the little blue-eyed Princess
Pondered sadly what to do.
Till at last she sought the counsel
Of her old nurse, tried aud true.
Go," b,cr nurse said, as she finished,
" Gp, and search the green fields over.
Never stopping for an instant
Till you bud a four-leaf clover.
" Take and put it in a nosegay,
In the center, full iu sight.
Throw it to the little captive;
All I promise will come right."
Out into the merry sunshine.
While her feet scarce touched the ground.
Went the Princess, never stopping
Till the treasure sbe had found.
Threw it, with the pretty nosegay,
in the window, barred and grated.
Then, and only then, she paused
Paused, and hoped, and i eared, and waited.
Through the window, barred and grated,
In the dreary prison-cell.
Like a ray of happy sunshine
At his feet the nosegay fclL
As he raised and held it gently.
While the burning tears brimmed over.
Through the mist he caught a glimpse
Of the little four-leaf clover.
Thoughts went dishing through his brain.
And, before the evening dew
Kissed the bowers of the land.
All the court this riddle knew:
Fourteen letters am I made of.
Over countries fair and bright.
Under many different bcavons.
Raise we flags, both rod and white.
Living with my many bt others.
Ever in the long, sweet grass,
-As we play, the happy zephyrs
Fan us gently as they pass.
Chanced you e'er to tind me out.
Luck I'd surely bring to you.
Often of me have you beard.
Very often seen me, too;
Ere you turn away from me.
Bead me well my name you'll see."
Three days passed, unguessed the riddle.
And the sun rose joyfully.
Turned the prison bars all golden,
T)ld tho captive he was lree.
Life had never looked so radiant,
E irth had never seemed so fair;
Sang the birds and played the founts)
Sweetest fragrance tilled the air.
But the day wore slowly on.
Sank the sun from out the sky
Ere the waited summons came.
And he stood before Sir Guy.
In th- stately council there
Knelt he down, with peerless grace;
Not a tinge of doubt or fear
In the proud patrician face.
To bim, then, began Sir Guy:
You have earned your freedom well.
And, we pray you, speak the answer
That our court has tailed to tell."
Then up rose the little captive.
While his eyes with fun danced over:
"If you read its letters downward.
You will find a four-leaf clover.
And Sir Guy laughed long and load
As bo read the riddle through,
'I hat the court bad failed to guess
With the answer in full view.
Bo the littlo Prince was saved.
And ere many days were o'er,
Happily he sailed away
Toward his longed-for home once more.
But he carried back a memory
Of a court-yard fresh and fair.
Where there walked a little Prinoesa
Iladiant with her golden hair.
So my story's almost finished,
And the end I need not tell
For of course 'tis in the ringing
Of a joyful wedding-bell.

THE UARRET PARTY.
"Say, gramma, can't I and Chris and
Dode go a-cbestnutting on Pine Hill?
We can, can't we? I Know you'll let
as."
Grandma Rand looked up at the sky,
where dark clouds were gathering, then
down to the anxious, upturned faces of
her three little granddaughters.
"I'm 'most afraid it is going to
rain," she said. " I think you had bet
ter ask Aunt Jane what she thinks
about it
"Oh dear! I know she won't let us
go!" cried Katy, wofully. "I should
s'pose gramma was old enough to
know somethings without asking Aunt
Jane, shouldn't you. Chris?"
"Mamma said we must be good,"
said Chris, "and do as Annt Jane
thought best. Come on. let's go and
ask her; may be she'll let us go.
They found Aunt Jane in the kitchen
baking, and when they came in she put
something into the oven very quickly
and shut the door; and to Chris' eager
question she answered, shortly: Qo
chesinttlling! Why, no, indeed! it
looks as if it would rain every minute."
"I knew she wouldn't let us," sighed
Katy, to her yonnger sisters, as they
sat together on the haymow in the old
barn.
' She never wants us to have any fun,
and 1 think it is just horrid!"
"And it's Dode' sbirthday, too," add
ed Chris.
' Mamma always does something to
please us, if it is only to make us some
seed-cakes," moaned Dora.
So these three naughty little girls sat
on the hay and pouted and made them
selves as unhappy as possible. But
Chris and Dora soon grew tired, of be
ing miserable.
"Let's play something," said Chris.
Lefs.get our dolls and hava a par
ty," said little Dora.
But Katy shook her head and declared
she should not feel like playing a thing
all day.1'
So thay sat far half an hour longer
nnd chewed their bonnet-strings and
thought liow they were punishing Aunt
Jane.
After a while
calling: "Girls!
they heard sonic one
Chris, Katy! Where
are vou all.
"Huh!" said Katy. "She wants to
iiave us bring in some wood, most like
ly." " But Dora slid off the hav and ran
down the stairs, calling:
Here we arc, Aunt
Jane" And
Chris and Katy followed
close behind
her.
Aunt Jane was waiting for them with
a very smiling fa. e.
" It is 'some one's birthday to-day,"
she said, stooping to kiss Dora's rosy
cheek, "and I want to have you all en
joy yourselves: so I've planned some
thing new for you. Instea 1 of the com
mon birthday "p:irty I am going to let
you have a garret party; ruu up and see
how you like it.''
Did they run?
Didn't they? And what do you think
they found in the grand, roomy old
attic?
The great beams and rafters were
trimmed wi'h ever reens and bright
berries, and the old tall clock, also,
was made bright with autumn leaves.
Then between the two big chimnevs
was tho funnv old table, with lions' feet,
set with grandma's old willow dishes
and lotded with all the good things
that children like. 1 here were biscuits,
seed-cakes, jelly and tarts, and in the
middle of the table was a glass dish
filled with grapes and pears.
" Oh, isn't it just too lovelv for any
thing?" cried Chris, when she found
her voice.
"And gramma has let us have her
best dishes!" added Katy.
"Hark! I heard something behind
the chimney," said Dora, in a whisper
"lnat wasLou Dittenhaver's gile
i Know that,'' said Katy; "she's hid
ingsomewhere." They ran around the big chimnevs,
looked into old ohes s find trunks, and
found hidden in these queer places six
of their dearest friends.
Such a happr day as that was! Such
fun as they had! They dressed up in
the old-fashioned bonnets and cloaks
which they found, flayed all kinds of
games and were having such nice times
that they had no idea it was night,
when Aunt Jane appeared at the head
of the stairs to tell them that it was six
o'clock, and was raining so hard that
Joe would take the little girls all home
in the big family carriage.
After their guests had gone. KAty,
Chris and Dora stayed up garret for
sjome time, and Aunt Jane wondered
what they were doing, but when she
went to bed she found the following
note pinned to her pillow:
"dsrit Ant Jane we think garet parties
are snleudi 1 and we think you are to we thort
you did not want us to have no fun a ;d we
was cross and said hints about vou out on the
hay but we are real sorry and if you will for
give us wo won't never do so no more from
Kate and Ciikis ani Dode."

Sleeplessness.
The causes that produce this serious
trouble are various. Not infrequently
the tendency to it is inherited with a
delicate nervous organization, and over
work will increase it It is dillicult for
the sufferer to know just how much
work, mental and physical, may be ac
complished without producing "the un
pleasant result. For one so constituted
a most watchful care becomes impor
tant, and the most interesting employ
ment must be turned away from at the
first sense of weariness.
An earnest conversation with afriend
exciting your sympathy, the demand
upon your strength made by an invalid,
reading an article that stimulates the
mind to intense thinking, may, any of
them, cause you to spend weary wake
ful hours and lead to severe exhaustion
on the morrow.
By watchfulness you may learu to
spare yourself the over-fatigue, : a
duty which others may not understand
the reason for. You maj- a oid the con
versation and the book at evening, seek
ing them at an earlior hour when the
choice lies with you. 15ut with every
care you are liable to stiller from
causes vou can neither foresee nor pre
vent.
Sometimes indigestion will awaken
you at the small hours, and take re
venge for some very slight departure
from the careful diet you 'uniformly
adopt. Recently it has Ceeu discovered
that many persons lose hours of s'eep
because they are in need of nourish
ment. That the fast Ls too long that
continues from supper time at aix
o'clock until six or eight o'clock the next
morning.
Physicians who used to prescribe bro
mide of soda or potassium for sleepless
ness now urge their patients to take
beef tea instead. The writer, after try
ing various prescriptions with little ben
efit was at length so fortunate as to re
ceive such advice. At first beef tea was
used with some light bread or biscuit
broken in it, sipped from a spoon as
warm as it could be taken. Afterwards,
milk just scalded, not boiled, was sub
stituted, and to make it more easy of
digestion a tablespoonful of lime water
was added to a half tumbler of milk.
To facilitate matters a pocket-stove with
an alcohol lamp or an arrangement for
the gas fixture should be at hand. If
neither beef tea nor milk can be easily
procured, hot water with an infusion of
hops or mint may be substituted, or
even hot water alone will quiet restless
ness and induce sleep. A daikened
room that the moonbeams cannot enter,
a little fresh air from an open lire-place
or window, are valuable assistants in
making the sleep continuous.
When once the habit of wakefulness
is broken up. the beef tea or milk may
be taken cold, but not iced. If you are
always a poor sleeper it will be well to
continue this late supper as a perma
nent thing in your daily life.
Provide for it in the case of aged and
delicate persons who may be under your
roof; and as the troubles of life appear
most weighty when scanned in the mid
night hours, you may be able to lighten
the load for the rest of their journey.

Rough Lesson to a Bank Depositor.
A practical lesson was taught to a
bank depositor a few days ago in the
Queen street branch of the Dominion
Bank. It appears he called to deposit
about $5,01)0. which he laid on the
counter, and then turned round to speak
to an acquaintance. On again facing
the counter the money was gone, ana
consternation reisned supreme. The
depositor accused a painter, who was at
work near the counter, of abstracting
the money, and threatened to call in a
Constable if it were not at once given
up. While proceeding to carry out his
threat he happened to look toward the
counter, and to his amazement he saw
the missing package of money lying in

One of the bank officials explained the
mystery by stating that on entering the
otiice from a back room, and seeing the
money so carelessly displayed, he picked
it up and carried it away to tench the
depositor a lesson, to be more areful
in the future, and then quietly returned

refused to draw his load, having be

creased, and his master never appeared
at the stable without a lump of sugar
in his fingers.

thing worked paid a visit to a Mule
owned by the same Peasant, and asked:
"Do you want more oats and hay?"
"I should murmur," replied the
Mule.

with a piece of velvet and fee'd you cut
loaf sugar?"

of it" said the Mule as he nibbled at
the fence.

Fox. ' All you have to do is to refuse
to budge when hitched up. The Horse
played that game, and the result is that
