store. The bookkeeper touched fur

itself. DINNER time, old fellow" he

Ininlscently, as he buttoned his coat
and shook himself into shape for lunch,

stood gray, moss-grown stone
church, and by its side little weather.
stained cottage. A lonely old man,
the sexton, lived there. He had out
lived the hopes and friends of his
youth, and was utterly alone but for
the companionship of a noble dog. 1t
was familiar sight to see him hob
bling back and forth to the cottage,
always accompanied by his faithful
companion. The old man could often
be heard muttering fragments of talk
as he went his slow, unsteady way as
if in conversation with his dumb friend,
who never left his side, but gazed with
a look of human intelligence in his
masters face at the least sound of his
voice. At the village the sexton
would exchange quiet word with
friend, and making little purchases
for himself and his dog set out for the
cottage, his basket upon his arm. But
even here the dog would relieve his
care and gently but firmly take the
basket in his mouth, trot on before
with an air of joyous satisfaction. He
seemed to take peculiar pleasure in
the ringing of the bell of the church,
and was always with his old master
ween he summoned the people to holy
service. Once when the bell-rope
broke he climbed the stairs of the old
bell tower with the sexton and repeat
eddy watched him ring the bell from
the loft. But one day the sexton was
seized with his last illness, and ia spite
of the anxious solicitations of the dog,
could not ring the bell the following
Sunday and soon after passed quietly
away, his hand resting on the head OF
his poor follower whose mourning was
in consolable. The dog was vfsibly
affected by the tolling Ct the bell. |
From the grave the faithful creature
had to be taken by force, and would
return there Immediately on being re-
leased. One day he was observed to
go to the church and soon after was
seen in the belfry where his master
had for time rung the sabbath chimes. |
Here he appears to have reached the !
bell with his paws and to have swung
it, for it tolled out a single mournful
note as OF sorrow and despair. Imme-
diately afterward the dog was seen to
look down from the tower to the
where his master Law
buried. Then with low mournful
whine, reaching slowly forward, he
suddenly leaped out into the air and
ell lifeless mass on the mound. As
'ure as man ever did he died of grief,
ceiling with unerring instinct that life
Without affection is worse than death.
