Mr. reH HolIlesn]bs,ck. HollIls]s & si4tb sirsSs, swidias
a bulldog, about tzhe Size " a iSedNGka
calf, and th4 whole nneik khtcrh6od had
to walk On its tip-toesaana Iruk on . pail
spectfnl look when that dog ris II turned
loose. The other night, Mr.. Hollan-
beck was telling crowd ii b cornefa
grocery, what d pfti9s -ntedAf " fsQp dek'
he had, and how be- could sp9sncS ossf)
any thing ind Detroit, When N young msn,
named Madden, who owns q fiddle and.
6ddles it most of the time, said fis' d bet
money that he could make the HolleH.'
beck canine quake andf tis.able Under
the power of music He said he iseIen
saw ardog which cduldn't DO fddled ont
of conntsnance in fys minutes, by the
clock, and he, has tried lots Of them.
Mr.. Hollenbeck grinned with idelighEe,i
and it was arranged that the young nSaiQ
should try it ON rightaaway! Madden
got his fiddle and the crowd went oyssEr
to Hollenbeck;s. The dog was called
into the kitchen, and the crowd slipped
out, one by one, leaving Madden alone!
Cross-eyed Tsrroorr- such is the CANNES
name-adidn'tiknowl whabto think of the
proceedings and; he sat ,.n and gave
Madden o look in which border rufiap-
ism, inquiry, deceit, and astonishmeht
were about equally mingled eh8fG
die was poised and the young fnan cUnf
menced fiddling sad, t11e ! something
like Mother is Dead. The dog ,rqsa up
at the ,fyst, note and bent On earnest
look on the fiddle. he, had probably
never seen q fiddle before, ana ne nWaS
in doubt az to whether it WAS ANEW
kind of dog or an, internal, machine.
As1the tune began to draw ont longer
and longer, Cross.eyed Terror took b
step forward and gave utterancs to u
growl which madei thingsrs sttemhls.
Madden looked fxedly, at the animal mAill
and sawed away until it became evident
that he. hadn't better. keep that tune
much longer, and he changed of onto
something lively. The dogso bristlas
rose up and his eyes assumed q hungry
look. The young man changed, TO, o
chant and the dog came little nearer,
and his under-lip fell down like the end
board Of q coal-cart. A man who was
looking through the akey-holse Of the
door remarked that be- wouldn't be in
there for forty million dollars, and the
excited whispers of the crowd seemed
to excite the dog. He uttered several
more growls, and, in his own language,
inquired "What do you take mo for,
anyway?" Madden had faith and he
struck up 7he Green shores Of Ireland.
He hadn't even cited the green shores"
bafore Cross-eyed Terror laid hold of
him by the hip; and gave him scientific
toss. Next moment fiddle and deg and
howl and growl wereIall MIXED Up to
gether.- Madden shouted; for the crowd
to rush in. and the dog growled out
that that was q private cotilfion, With
no admissions for outsiders! The young
lived about a year aud halt AAlass
