| Until the middle Of the afternoon | was
very busy with NV household matters, but
when lad Gained time to rest awhile
Thought | would g.,ont and look at poor FL
idn, aud see if / could do anything for him; ;
So gave CIna my seals to play with and
having cut off Il few slices Of lice beef, went
tn the little stable and opened the door. |
saw the dog lyin" upon some straw in far
corner and, though spoke to him as ! en-
tered, he did not appear to notice me. lap
preached him, still calling his name aiIcc-
.tiouatcly; aud when | had come close to the
spot where he lay, put forth piece of the
meat. lie looked up at me and growcd,
was upon the point OF chiding him for his i'll
tmanurrS. when he gave another growl, and
guashcl lis teeth at me. At this ! started
back, for HOW noticed that his eyes had a
strange glare. and that his breathing was
short and heavy; and hardly had made the
movement when he sprang up and took step
towards me: hut he did not touch mc-he
rushed hv mc--nut at the door, where he
stood trembling for a moment. as though he
were panied and dizzy, and then he crawled
under the stable, through an aperture in the
lundcr-pinng. | did not try to call him out,
for did not dare; nor did dare tp look in
after him. for was now assured that he was
mad, or, at least, that he soon would he. and
| FASTENED back to the house, and shut N.Y.
sell in. suppose ought to have got help,
and. at least, have had the aperture beneath
the stable stopped up; hut did not think OF
it-l oulv thought OF giving the charge into
my husbands hands when he got home; and
/ supposed, if | supposed anything. that the
animal would remain where he was until that
time; aEd, if had any uneasincss, it was in
sympathy for poor Fidos Sutlcrugs
At five clock Freddy and Kate came home
from school; but as one of the ncighborS was
with me at the time, simply sent them up
stairs to put away their books and change
their clothes. intending to warn them OF the
danger at the stable when they came down.
! went with my visitor to the front door, and
while there my two children came down and
went out by the back way. reached the
kitchc, as soon rs | could. where Clara was
at play. and Just then Freddy and Kate came
running in.

Hardly had the words been spoken when
