On each side the scales arc fitted with
weights amounting to four hundred

the smaller weights on the balance are
withdrawn and the gold placed on one
of the two edges. The gold is mado
up of four-hundred-ounc bars, and tho

adelphia, sat down promptly at seven
o'clock the next day with their knees
under the mahogany Of Bash's master.
In the place Of honor. at the right ell

from joe and Mac, the boatmen, say
ing that Dash had been seen, but that
nobody couldn't get nigh him.
Then he disappeared from Mamma
hawkin, and for three weeks no more
was heard of him
Zone day received q postal card
from farmer living down the Della
ware below Camden. saying that he
had q setter chained up in his yard; the
dog had collar with plate upon it, ON
which was engraved my name and ad-
dress, and that could have the dog by
sending for him. I'd have gone myself,
but had to attend bank meeting; SO
! sent a young man from my Office.
1.-THE farmer told the young man he
had noticed the dog prowling around
the farm for several days, had seen him
twice try to swim the Delaware, failing
each time, and barely managing to get
back to the Jersey shore The last
time the dog tried he was so tired out
that he was unable to run away, and
SO the farmers boy caught him and
tied him up
My messenger led him to the ferry
boat and Dash rested quietly, licking
his paws and making himself present.
able When the boat got near the
Market street slip he became restless,
and shifted the Philadelphia air. AS
the boat touched the ferry bridge, Dash
gave jump, jurlsed the chain out of
my messengers hand and sstook up
Market street.
Meanwhile" said the master of the
homing pilgrim, II had returned from
the bank and was seated at my desk.
Suddenly / heard commotion in the
front OF the store, and before l could
say Dash, with bound as if he were
clearing six bar New Jersey snake
fence, my dog landed plump on my desk
on top of letters, invoices, pens, and
inkstands. Utterly regardless of the
fact that he had never before even SO
much as taken mat" in my private
office, without being specially invited
to dc SO. Dash rolled all over the desk,
tumbled into my lap, licked my face
and hands, jumped down to the floor,
tore round the office, leaped in my lap
again, tried to hug me, poked his head
inside my coat, then, for a moment sit
ting on my desk, he looked earnestly at
mel and then, gentlemen, he began to
whimper. He crawled to the floor and,
squatting close beside me, with his chin
on my knee. howled for two or three
minutes as if his heart would break"

How n Bright Setter Found His Way From
Mannahawkin Inlet.
One of the most ''gentlemanly dogs"
who ever enjoyed the respect of his
kind and the affectionate regard in a
large circle of human friends belonged
to one of the most highly respected and
honored families in town, and he, the
writer's dear dog friend, was we'll
known to stock exchange magnates as
''the thirteenth director Of the Reading
railway" He frequently accompanied
his master, Mr.. Henry Lewis, to meet
ings of the board of that corporation,
at which he looked as wise and behaved
himself with as much dignity as any of
the assembled gentlemen; and he never
was even suspected of making public
the proceedings, or of having ever been
successfully interviewed.
Dash was highly bred and he did
credit to his blood, upholding on all oc-
casions the dignity of his own and his
masters family. He was the direct de-
proudest and most distinguished old
English setter families, prize winners
of long ago He was grand all-around

wonderful alacrity, and even when SUI
perintending the performances of the
most inexpert and trying gun, he. ex-
hibited a gentle patience and tireless
precision.

uneventful expedition during which
Dash's companion gave many bad imi-
tations of sportsman shooting quail
for the many birds that the good dog
discovered did not fly to suit the pecu-
liariy exacting aim of the gunner
Dash became discouraged at the few
moss of the chances given him and gave
up the hunt
After giving up the sport Dash disap-
pearcd; and in some mysterious way
was prevented from finding his way
back to the Comfort for two days. I'M

and departed from Mannahawkin,
