down in all her splendor. Jim felt the
horse, stared at it and stared again. The
other one in the gig was also gazing Gu
riously. Simultaneously shout Of dis
may, followed by an imprecation, burst
from both of them. They had stolen their
0aon horse.
Some mutual recrimination ensued.
Wade accusing Jim of having made a
mistake and opened the wrong stable;
Jim vowing by all that's blue that he had
opened the right one.
Anyway, we've got the harness.
pleaded Jim.
The remark caused Wade to turn his
eyes on it; its silver points were glitter
ing in the moonlight. A closer glance,
and then another angry shout broke
from him.
Hey-what ?" cried Jim, turning
round
Sure enough; the silver-mounted har-
ness bore family crest with its Latin
motto, and could no doubt be identified
anywhere. Certainly this nights an
ticipated spoil was not lucky in any
way. Ak e@
Next morning the landlord of the inn
was intensely surprised at the diappear-
| ance OF the travellers. and at the spirit
ing away of some harness that belonged
to the young Viscount Dare. He stood
in the stable yard talking with his ostler.
"But for me his lordship's hoss would
h. gone, too cried the ostler stoidly.
''When | see one O. they two gents a
poking and peering about here last
night under the cover O the dusk, and
see him gazing at the fine animal with
hungry eyes, and next watched him a
lingering the stable lock, it struck me
| what he might be after-the wanting to
have a try at changing their own sorry
| hack for this one. So the last thing at
night, before turning in, changed the
hosses; putting theirn in the best stable,
| and t'other here, and made him safe with
my bar and paddock which can't be
picked. And they've just been and gone
away with their own.''
"Why didn't you change the harness
| as well?''
"Wen, I never thought O the har-
| ness.''
But in the course of the day mes
senger brought the harness back-and
did not wait to ask for that of the travel
ers.
So the landlord, by the bargain, got a
set OF plain harness, which really was
| not bad, and he let the unlucky thieves
alone.-IHe Argosy.

A Dogs Funeral.

Nearly year ago aJgentleman died in
affluent circumstances at KirkWood, and
left d childless widow. The husband,
who never enjoyed the proud distinction
of being called father, lavished his SUR
plus affections on a fine shepherd dog by
the name of Dash. This canine was
provided for in his masters will by the
setting aside of certain house and lot,
the monthly rent from which was to be
appropriated to ..Dash's sole benefit dur
ing his natural life.'' In this way the
dogs days were comfortably provided
for, and the gentleman $ wife was named
as Dash's guardian. Shortly after her
husbands death the lady went to New
York to assuage her grief, but she didn't
take the dog along. In her absence
Dash was taken very sick, and tele-
gram informed her of the animals 8 affiic-
ton. True to the last will and testament
of her late husband, she telegraphed to
employ the most eminent physicians for
Dash $ treatment, which was done by a
faithful servant. In few days the wires
informed her Dash was dead She adj
mitted of no delay, but Immediately
| started for st. Louis to conduct the OBJ
seYiies and again act as chief mourner.
Arriving here, a,costly coffin was pro
vided and hearse conveyed Dash's re-
mains to Oak Ridge Cemetery. At that
| place they were inferred with due
solemnity at the feet of his dead master
in the presence OF the widow, now In
mourning for him. A $500 monument
suitably Inscribed, stands at the head d
| the husbands grave, while a less pre-
tentious one, costing $3.50, rests at hii
feet to mark the place where Dash lies
