Louis Phillppe's guest. when = bird
was flushed. fred hastily and sent the
Citizen-king's favorite pointer to meet
Cerberus. The second time was when.
a candidate for the Academic. De Mus
set went to pay the customary visit to
ali Influential! Immortal whose chateau
was in the environs of Paris. At the
moment that the poet rang at the gate
an ,gnoble whelp of incredible ugliness
covered with mud rushed to meet him
with joyous barks and fawned upon
him to the detriment Of the poat's new
pantaloons. Disguised as De Musset
was, it would have been peri;ous to
drive of the Immortal's faithful dog, 50
he was compelled to let the friehtful
animal lick his hands, cover him with
caresses aud mud. and precede him into
the drawing-room. A moment later
the Academician entered. De Musset
noticed his embarrassment. at which
he was not surprised. considering the
behavior of the animal. They adjourn
ed to the dining room. followed by
the dog, which. after giving vent to
his delight by various gambols and
cries, placed two muddy paws on the
cloth, seized the wing of a cold chicke
and began contented!y to devour it.
That's the most abom;nable brute I
ever heard Of thought De Musset, and
continued aloud, '.You are fond of dogs,

"Fond Of dogs - echoed the Immor

"But this animal here p

The two men roared with laughter,

that day a yellow dog crossed the from

air of an animal that had scored upon
the tablets of its memory a decidedly
unpleasant recollection and headed
for Constautinopie with undimished
