A rival interfered. A poor little kitten, the only one Phillis had spared. NoImore attention for Tip; not even q turn of the head, nor . glance as he passed by, and as day after. day went on with no change the dog could bear it no longer. s. p@ " Suddenly, without warning, he sprang forward, isei&ed the kitten by the neck, end dashed like lightning from the yard, md before the cries of puss could bring 'help Tip he'd reached thei wharf and drop ped his luekiess rival into the water. a5 E5s WS boys, though forced to confess that 1nktehfnk an only child from it's mother S1snst the truest spirit of knighthood, we're all ready to pat Tip in secret for his brilliant stroke. But father took no such gieN q the case. Tip had committed rob- lbery and murder to make room for his own selfish interests. and should be horse- whipped. We went away that we might not witness his disgrace or his cries.
 We made secret plans for comforting Tip, but qhe was mot to be found, and morning failed to discover him. Had he turned his back on us forever? was the question we were asking one another, when schoolmate called over the fence i: E"Saw your dog at your Cousin Tenbrook's 8 an hour ago p'
 ssAt Cousin Tenbrooks! I guess not much We took him there last summer when we went to the country, and he wouldn't stay . day He came back and sat on the steps and lived on stray crusts till we got home"
 The boy was telling the truth and we
 were tstaftipg to bring Tip home, when father stopEed us. Tip was feeling his disgraoe, and ought to feed it, and we should let him alone. In fortnight, with tail erect, and amid shouts of welcome. Tip stalked into the yard.

 Some people stood out of the way as the sleigh sped down the street, others step- ped nearer and brandished their, arms and shouted Tip stood beside us, his eyes dxed upon the approaching animal Near. CT, nearer r but not hair of Tips tail
 stirred until the sleigh was almost opposite
 us. Then, with bound, he reached the horse e's side, and, seizing the bridle, hung
 with his whole weight upon the bit. The horse, frantic as he had seemed s
 moment before, hesitated, and in a mo tment stood still.
 Every year added glory 10 Tips record
 but he was growing old. And at last $
 remark was Intentionally dropped by moth CT, thatshe didnot know how much long Ter heIcould be tolerated about the house.
 The next morning Tip was again miss
 ing and, found at Cousin Tenbrook's, bu I not to return. No entreaty or commane l could move him. Not a look would he be I stow upon my mother. He had left us and all previous relations were ignored fo 3l the few days remaining to him. 2tA Then we claimed him once more, ant 1 this time without resistance. Solemnl,
