nesses watched the ascent, while near the
scene the paVements were lined with spec
tators, The two brothers were on the
scene by this time and the ascent up the
spire proper had been commenced. The
first ladder of this final series rested on
the base of the spire and was lashed to it
both at top and bottom, by ropes passing
around TIE spire. The two men carried
a second ladder up this one, and lasbed
the bottom of the former to the top of the
latter. The next thing was to secure this
last addition Of climbing apparatus. One
OF the brothers climbed it while the other
held It's base. Up in that dizzy hight a
rope was thrown around the spire, and the
top of this ladder secured by il, until five

A DOG STORY.

Every ybody in Milan knows the history,
for it is not simply story, of the spaniel
Molfino. The dog followed his master,
who belonged to the corps of Prince Eu-
gene Beauharnais, on the occasion Of the
disastrous expedition into Russia in 1912.
At the passage Of the Beresina. these two
faithful companions were separated by the
masses of ice which foated down the
river, and the MiIanese corporal returned
to his native city full of sorrow and regret,
not on account of his wounds, but for the
loss of his poor dog, which had shared
with him so much misery and suffering.
4 year passed by, and TIE soldier, in the
midst of his family, had almost forgotten
the object of his regret. One day, how
ever, the people of the house were sur
prised by the arrival of the spectre of an
animal that might formerly have been a
dog, bot which now scarcely deserved the
name. 1t was something truly h,deous
that they tried to drive away without
pity, notwithstanding the mournfcl cries
of the poor beast. At this moment the
ex- corporal returned from a walk, and saw
advancing towards him, with Joyful
bounds, this wretched quadruped, which
licked his feet uttering at the same time
low winnings. He repulsed it roughly,
and wS about to deprive this singular
visitor Of the little life that appeared 10
be remaining, when sudden thought oc-
curing to him, heexamined certain marks
on it with attention, indications Of which
caused him much joy, lie pronounced
the name "MofTino,'' and the animal
Jumped up Immediately, barked joyfully.
and then fell down, exhausted with fa-
tigue, hunger-perhaps one might say,
with emotion.
His master, who now recognized his
lost dog, hastened to his assistance, sue
cOred him tenderly, and saved him from
death
This journey, over more than the half
of Europe, undertaken by an animal with
out any guide but his wonderful instincts
the mountains and rivers crossed by this
feeble creature, in search of his master, at
tue price Of terrible sutferings, is a great
lesson for the generality of mankind.
