UP TREE.

One night last winter young Null
len, of New Castle, who feared that
the lady he loved was entertaining an
admirer, determined to cIimba tree
fn-f the yard, from which he could see
into the sitling-room in the second
story, where the young woman was
supposed to be. just as he got-him-
selffixed in a comfortable position
commanding the window, some one
upon the inside pulled the curtain
down. Then Mullen made up his
mind to descend. IL was very dark,
bat just as he began to aide down the
trunk, he saw huge animal capering
about, apparently very eager 70 nip
Mr.. Mullen's legs. Then Mullen sud
denly climbed up the tree again, and
endeavored TO drive the animal of,
but the more he spoke to the brute,
the more it danced around, and bark
ed. Then Mullen came down as low
as he dared, and tried to coax the an
imal, but this only made him hop
about, and howl, more furiously than
ever. So it became apparent that
Mullen would have to spend the night
in the tree. He fixed himself as COM
fortabIy as he could in crotch Of the
limbs, and kicked his legs, aHd~moved
his arms to keep from freezing to
death. Several times when he thohght
the dog was asleep, he attempted to
descend, but each time the brute
awoke, and began to caper about. By
the time daylight arriveds Mullen was
so benuEned will cold that he coni a
hardly use his hands; but as tho sky
grew brighter. he leaned over to ex-
anime his persecntor, and, to his own
amazement, he found that It was his
own dog, which, unknown tohiln had
followed him TO the tree, and had
barked and -capered only to express
his delight at the prospect Of Mullen
coming doBn and going home The
suGdenness with which Mullen reach
ed the ground il said to have been re-
markable, and the language used by
him bad. He has some of the Fhea-
matism which he got on that night in
his bones yet.
