HE Docs AND THE RoBBEEs "A tragica story
Is told of an adventure that happened 10 the monks
OF st. Bernard, in the days when their dogs were
at their fall perfection. No less than thirty rob

monastery offered rich booty, had by degrees in
troduced themselves into the retreat arriving in
parties at intervals, and We're always received in
the most friendly manner. As soon as the whole

but before he turned the key ne turned back and

the door wide open. 1t was the den in which
the dogs were kept: he raised his voice, to which
loud yell responded, then gave rapid signal,
and in an instant the powerful animals bounded
forth upon their prey, tearing some, strangling
others and sending the few of the robbers who
escaped their attack, flying for their lives head
