This man Perkins is no myth. 1t would
be impossible for one so honest and truthful
as 1 am to invent such a character as his.
he is an institution OF the town as real as
Trinity Church, though he is dedicated to
the service of the other party. Perkins has
the alleged skye-terrier fastened to the end
of string. If Mrs. Fielding had not
taken the bait-that is, the dog-one day 1
might never have understood Perkins.
WE BOUGHT THE TERRIER.
'I hate to part with him." said Perkins,
when Maude ventured to inquire if the dog
was for sale, "but will do it for S15."
Then Maude looked at me. We bought
the terrier
"Take him home, Howdy," said Maude,
"and if he is hungry, you will find some
strawberry shortcake in the icebox.''
I could not Immediately take the dog
home, for 1 had several appointments to
keep down town. I grasped the string
which had the dog on it and allowed him
to lead me down Broadway. He started
right along just as if he had business, and
followed as best could.
1t is bad luck, you know, for two who
walk together to pass on opposite sides of
an object, especially if one of the two is a
dog on the end of a string and the object is
a man in hurry. The skye-terrier and 1
had bad luck of this kind several times, and
most of the pedestrians expressed fervid
interest in our eternal future, though 1 trust
that their recommendations as to the locality
will be mercifully disregarded, for it was
not my fault. The terrier can 90 there if he
wants to; it would be cruel to separate him
and Perkins.
ACTED AS IF STARK MAD.
The conduct of the terrier became stead
lily worse. He ceased to confne his activity
to his legs, and began to use his lungs in
the production of such howls as confirm ed
my growing belief that his lineage was not
what it had been represented. Finally L

A SIXTH SENSE.
Deaf People Develop the Faculty of Feeling
the Sound Waves.

A species Of sixth sense has been observed
in some deaf people-that of the apprecia-
ton of vibration. In one case described,
woman who was so deaf that she could hear
slightly with only one ear was able to per-
ceive light blow on a table, or footstep.
She described the effect by saying. not that
she could hear the blow, but that she could
feel 1t In another case of woman who was
entirely deaf, her attention could be arrested
instantly by a slight blow on the floor or
table, so slight that bystanders would not
notice it. This faculty is explained by the
efforts OF nature to supply compensation
for lost faculty.

"Oh, really" the young man said again,
quite humbly.
Now by this time it had become manifest
that there was to be no thunderstorm at all.
There had been few more of those, culver

on the retina than in the clouds) accom-
panied by some distant mutterings and rum
blings, and at enc point it seemed as if the
dreadful shower were coming on; but all
passed off gradually and quietly; the sky
slowly frightened; a pale sunshine began
here and there to touch the greensward and
the shivering elms. This young man had
no excuse for remaining here; but he seemed
to forget; he was so busy talking-and talk

But even when Vim Harris received his
property back he appeared to take no heed.
He had observed that the newspaper living
on the old mans knee was the Toronto,

stance; and now all his talk was of Queens
Park, Lake Ontario, of King street, Queen
street, Church street, of the Exhibition
grounds, OF Park Island, and Block House
bay and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club.
So he had been there, too? Oh, yes, he had
been all over Canada and America He

and shot mountain sheep in the Rockies.

man asked.
"Oh. yes, of course"

"Oh, indeed said Vim Harris, rather
breathlessly, and again he ventured to look
across to Maisrie Bethune and her doBncast
eyes.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE OF a MAN
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DISPATCH,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUE DIsPATCH.I
AKRON, Dec. 3.-Judge Grant this after
noon announced his decision in a case that
removes the last obstacle TO the completion
OF the Pittsburg, Akron and Western Rail-
road. The suit was as TO the right of the
Pittsburg, Akron and Western Railroad to
condemn certain lands of the Valley Rail-
road Company; to cross the track of the lat
ter under the stone arch which carries the
track of the Cleveland, Akron and Colum-
bus Railroad 10 a junction with the Pitts
burg and Western; to occupy part of the
raceway Of the Akron Canal Compenv, etc.
The Judge SAID that within fairly defined
Limitations the question Of what route and
what property the condemnlng company
might lawfully take, was legislative or
political, and not judicial. The land sought
to be taken by the Valley Company is now
occuUied, and is proposed to be occupied by
it, for incidental and subsidiary purposes
only. such switches, side-tracks, coaling
shutes, etc. The taking, therefore. neither IN
terferes nor destroys the beneficial enjoyment
of the franchise, which. so far asst owes a duty
to the public is a common carrying of freighus
and passengers. The inferior purposes sub
served can as well be followed in another loca-
non, and with as good effect. On the other
hand. the taking of these lands is necessary to
the efficient OF the franchise of the plaintiff
corporation for the location of its main line. as
selected by 1t, the exclusive right to select
which, within the limits named, has been given
it by the power of the State, which no court can
veto.
1t follows from this finding that the former
company cannot sequeSter its property for ILL.,
cidental purposes a'One from what the Gener-
al Assembly has considered public necessity
When two uses thus come in colluson. the one
found inferior must yield to that which the
law-making power has decided to be superior
even though the former be the first in the
field.
Several other questions raised at the trial
were passed upon, but Judge Grant found that
the plaintiff had right TO pursue its route
upon the route selected and rendered iudg-
ment that jury be called to assess damages
upon the property of the several persons taken.
Both defendants served exceptions to the de-
ulslOn, and to carry the case TO a higher court
upon petition IN error. This. however, will not
stop work upon the line of the new road, as the
Ohio statutes prohibits proceeding in error
from having that effect.

velop the territory along it, is not known.

fact being made known that many produce

source Of their supply.

com were not made in this CITY, but have been
shipped in from the East for distribution by
local pals II is altogether probable that the
coin came from the same source as those taken
with an Italian gang OF cOunterfeiters in Pitts

been received from New York A descriDtion
OF the dollars seems to tally perfectly with those
taken IN IN Pittsburg. the money here is very
well made. No especial flaws are to be detected
WI hout extraordinary examination. In weight
however, thev are sadly deficient being much
lighter than the genuine coin. The dollars are
still coming in. and it is expected the handlers
will soon be located.

RUINED GIRLS.

An exchange says: " We think it high time that this thing of branding girl as ruined, because she has made 8 single mistake, is ended. This Christian world allows any young man to redeem himself and become something even after he has committed blunder after b1under, and has deliberately sinned again and again, but a girl who has made one single mistake of the heart is ruined and literally banished forever This is not right-not as it should be- not as it will be when we become true followers of the great and good teacher, Jesus Christ. A girl should be given the same opportunities to outlive sin committed by hel, as her stronger opportunities granted, she cannot be recognized as the equal of her brother. Why the girl, who is the weaker of the two, should be ruined and branded as such for lifetime for having committed a single mistake while her brother, who is strong and we'll able to take care of himself, should be forgiven and taken up by society. is something we cannot understand. We think If some of our preachers, teachers and parents would, for the time being, give the heathen in distant lands rest, and devote some of their spare time to the thousands of alleged ruined girls in our cities; teach these girls that there is 8 future worth living for, show them how to live right and give them the neces- sary encouragement to do something, that society would be tic better for 1t. and our confidence in each other far stronger than it is at present Any man who has committed sin and has out lived that sin, yet is willing to brand and condemn woman for having com mitted the same sin, is coward and a cur of the meanest type. This is plain talk, but it is gospel truth. ,
