blacks, and The poor wretch who had
thus tempted fate died without word.
There was a terrible uproar in the
villages both of the dead man and his
slayer. A free man had been killed by
slave 1t was turning custom upside
down. That slave should dare to raise
bis hand against free man even to de-
fend himself had never been dreamed of

arrange matters and offered an indem-
nifty TO the family of the dead man But
his proposals met with furious refusal.

had the life of this slave and have
killed free man Of his village"
The offending slave had taken refuge
In Mr. Glave's house. His innocent
black master was the free man whom
the villagers said they wished to kill.
Glave went to him with the news that
his life was in danger. Look out for

do don't you sleep single wink at

The negro was not without a grim
sense OF humor. He began to stalk IN

Then the white man comes to me, and
says he: Don't you sleep any, So [

1t was observed, however, that the
old fellow neglected no precaution to
prolong his existence. Meanwhile the
bitter feeling between the two viii
lagos constantly grew, and there
was every prospect of a disas-
trous struggle. Glave was almost
distracted, when suddenly a shrewd
fetch doctor turned up with an idea

This fetch man was person of great
authority. He secretly came to Glave

valuable services were at once secured,
and the news went forth that the great
man had important information for the
world at large. With due solemnity he
then announced that a few hours

liver was black. He could not live with
such liver. He had died before rho

already dead and the slave could not

A PROMISING SPANIEL.
Leo Catches Thief, Opens q Door al
Sings Energ6Lically.

Leo Catches a Thief, Opens a Door and
Sings Theoretically.
An ambitious and energetic young
spaniel is Leo, the pet of the police at
the Prince Street station. He is about
two years old and recognizes Sergeant
MCNAMARA as his master, although he
yields friendly obedience to all the
other officers attached to the station.
This is the dog who captured a booty
laden thief on Wooster street few
evenings ago and held on to him until
petrolman, who couldn't run as fast as
Leo, came up and took the prisoner in.
Leo couldn't put on the handouts and
the man got the formal credit of the
arrest.
Leo is not patrol dog, and this is his
first exploit as neophyte on the force.
His education is being looked after by
Frank Moratti, an employee at the sta.
tlon-house, and after time the dog
may be promoted to regular situation
on the staff
Leo has two specialties now besides
the catching of thieves. He opens the
door OF the station by himself when he
Is outside and wants to come in. He
does it by starting on dead run from
across the street and feaping violently
against the door. 1t opens inward, being
held in place by strong spring. 1t
yields readily to Leo's spring, and the
dog lands in a sprawling heap on the
floor. Leo hasn't yet got it out of his
head that he can open the door by the
same process when he wants to 90 out.
Consequently he now and then starts
from the farther side of the main Office.
runs full tilt against the door, bumps
his shoulders, and falls back upon the
floor discounted.
His best accomplishment, however, is
his singing. In training the dogs voice
Prof. Moratti has brought to bear all
his native knowledge of the Italian
method. The results are plainly seen in
Leos style. There is none of YOUR
phlegmatic German defamation in his
work, but an earnest, inspiring and
melodic howl, varied here and there BY
short staccato yelps on very high notes.
Leo realizes the merit of his perform
ance so keenly that of late he has posi-.
lively refused to sing unless there is an
audience present Then he springs into
chair and sits down, and Prof. Moratti
sits In another chair beside him. When
the reporter was present the professor
played Fritz Emmet's Cuckoo" song
on harmonica, and Leo put in a canine
obligato. He put his head straight up
in the air and howled. All the frisk-
ness of his private life departed; his
tail did not wag nor his body vibrate
with tbs Joy Of young life. His only
motion was an expressive swaying Of
the nose and an occasional closing of
the eyes as he reached for some es-
pecially effective note. An unresponsive
spectator would have said that Leo was
unhappy, but Moratti declares that on
such occasions the dogs attitude simply
indicates Intense emotional earnest
ness, At any rate 1t is pretty good sing

1t was brought South and sent out on

plunged down an embankment, killing

Soon afterward she was fixed up and
put on the road again. She ran for a
while all right, until one night the en-
gineer that was driving her saw a head
light bearing down on him and tried to
reverse the lever and run back; but the
engine acted like mule and wouldn't

ing on and crashed into the other train.
Five men were killed in the two engine
boxes.
But l can't remember half the devil
try that engine has played. Once she
seemed to go into the dumps while on
the road and just wouldn't be managed.
She acted as if the devil were in her
cylinders. Whenever the engineer
pulled open the throttle she would
storm down the track like hell-cat,
and it was like stopping bucking
bronco to get her down to quiet pace.
IAN emigrant train was running
ahead, and the engineer of the man

disappeared over the crest and this
devil OF an engine went charging up
and over about minute behind. The
engineer expected to see the emigrants
away down the track. but they had slowed
up and were only few hundred Yards
ahead. Down went the engine below
ing like mad, and as soon as the emf
grants heard it, out they streamed as
fast as they could. But the old hell
cat could outrun the Flying Dutchman,
and there was no stopping her. She
rushed down, eating up the space be-
tween her and her prey. Eager faces
were looking out the windows of the
passenger-car ahead, and the engineer,
fireman and coaler. when they found
that they could not check the speed of
the engine, stood at the doors ready for
q leap.
They had to take it pretty soon.
Already the emigrants were leaping
from the steps and rolling down the
sides of the embankment The engine
men waited till the last moment before
the crash, and leaped for life-but were
all killed.
81 am afraid to say how many lives
were lost as the engine tore into that
train packed with emigrants, but it
swelled the list of the men that the old
brute had killed.
mo matter what road she is on-and
she has been on a great many-she has
kept on killing the men who stood at
her throttle. We all feel little nervous
when we have to run her, for when you
steam her up it seems to put the devil
in her"-Atlanta Constitution.
