A Young Woman and Her Pug.

A good story is told on popular
society young lady who is passionately
fond of the Liliputian variety of the
genius canine. The young lady has
an ugly, snarling, growing little pug
dog. which she has made the idol of
her heart This young lady went
south some weeks ago, and, fearing
that the rules of the sleeping-car COM
pauy might separate her little darling
from her, she adopted clever ruse to
deceive the porter. A full set Of baby
clothes was prepared for his pugship,
aud on the day Of the departure he
was decked out in long skirts. A neat
little hood and a heavy veil completely
concealed his identity. The supposed
Young mother was the object OF a
great deal of interest to the other
ladies in the sleeper. She was piled
with all sorts of embarrassing inter-
rogatories-" How long have you been
married." is this your tirst2'
Would papa miss his baby boy?' etc.
Everything went well during the day
time The trainmen never suspected
the ruse and were especially attentive
to babvs wants. One old gentleman
passenger said he had been married
thirty wears and never had any chill
dren. He would be the proudest man
in the world if he had little son-''a
boy like that, madam. You should be
a happy woman, madam.
PIGGY seemed - appreciate the sit
uation. and he maintained a thorough
ly diguihed composure throughost.
When night came everybody waited
to kiss the baby good night before the
litte fellow was tucked away in his
birth, and it required the greatest
diplomacy on the young lady's part to
prevent disastrous consequences. The
veil could not be removed under any
circumstances. Baby was very young
and very delicate, and the doctor )
latestiuiuuctiou had been: Don't take
of the veil" So everybody kissed
baby through the veil and yerybody
went to sleep About midnight the
car was awakened by a violent bark
inc. There was 4 terrible connection.
Valises and slippers were got ready
for action, and, with the porter IN the
lead. the search for the canine intruder
was begun. The offender was located
under a lower birth. and, TO make a
long story short, was hauled out in
disgrace. baby clothes aud all. Next

out on biz hunt. Several raccoous

the dogs bayed again. Approaching
near to where they were barking, the
three concluded, as they had their

was only a short while until dawn,
fire was accordingly built, and while
his companions produced a deck Of
