Only n Dog.

JOhnstown, June IA large
crowd Of people attracted my atten-
ton about six o'clock this evening
on Main street. On going closer /
noticed that a number of men and
women were surrounding a dog.
"Come here, Romeo, my noble
old dogp said one woman.
"Give me kiss; there's dear"
"Ah, Romeo" said another, at
was pity Johnstown had not more
such as you are-there would not
be SO many people dead here now"
The dog, a beautiful water spaniel,
stood as quiet among the people as
If he understood each word. Soon
I learned what it meant.
Romeo belonged to Mrs. &. F..
Kress of Washington street, Johns
town. Last Friday, when th1 flood
of the South Fork reservoir broke
loose, the lady went to- the house of
her sister Mrs. A. &. Kress, on Main
Street, taking the dog with her.
While there the waters came sweep
ing down, and all were compelled to
get upon the roof. There were seven
in the party and Romeo.
Suddenly big wave dashed up
on the roof. Mrs. G.. +. Cress was
knocked of, and rapidly floated
down the stream.
But the waters had no more than
closed above the sinking lady when
the dog jumped after her, and when
her dress appeared grasped it with
his teeth. Holding the dress in his
mouth he pushed her toward
frame house. which was still defy
ing the waves. Romeo's noble eff
forts proved successful, and in a
few moments Mrs. Kress was able to
lay hold on.the frame house and
drag herself into comparative safety.
But alas! 1t was only temporary.
Even before the woman had realized
her escape the waves came rushing
against the frame house. With IA
crash the wooden walls burst apart,
and once more the woman and her
dog were at the mercy of the flood.
The noble brute however again
cIung IA ms mistress, and swim
ming by her side while she was
borne on the current, he contrived
to keep her head above the water
For over half-an-hour the dog bat
tied with the waves. His faithful
endurance was at last rewarded.
He succeeded in directing her to-
ward Alma Hall, and here Mrs.
Kress was pulled out Of the water.
When she reached the roof un
consciousness overcame her, and
during that time Romeo, who
seemed to think the woman dead,
howlcd In the most frantic manner,
Only her returning breath pacified
HIM, aud then he quietly and con-
tentedly lay down at her feet.
This was the story CLEANED from
the people surrounding the dog,
and when | called To see Mrs. Kress
ut her sisters home she verified ev-
ery particular.

Lindley knows this, then he has made
an original discovery which has escaped
