Tho Faithful Hounds Service in Finding
Lost Coin.
1t was dark, and down retired
street in Paris man rode along on
horseback. Suddenly the horse stopped
as if frightened Then a man rose from
the pavement in the middle of the
street and jumped to one side with a
cry. The rider was angry, and ex-
claimed: Are you drunk, man, that you
lie about in the middle of a dark street
to get yourself run over?"
"You might better lend poor fellow
hand than scold in that way" ex-
claimed the other. 81 had three hum
dred francs in gold in this bag carrying
1t to pay bill for my master, and the
bag was broken and it is all lost over
the street If you have some matches
they will do me more good than your
curses"
''It's no easy task to find lost money
on night like this, said the rider, dis
mounting. II .have no matches, but
perhaps / can help you Have you any
of the pieces left?''
'Only one" replied the unfortunate
fellow, with sob.
''Give it to me" said the other.
The poor man hesitated, but the
stranger repeated the words in a tone
of authority and the last coin was
handed to him.
The stranger whistled and great
Spanish mastiff stood by him. He held
the coin to the dogs nose, and leaning
to the rough pavement said: ''Find
them"
The dog shifted the gold piece and be-
gan the search.
One, two, three; he began bringing
in the coins and dropping them into his
masters hand, while the poor servant
stood by in silent wonder.
Z Thirteen times he returned with
twenty franc piece. Then, after long
search, he came back empty, with
grunt that seemed to say: ''There are
no more"
1--WE are yet lacking one piece" said
the stranger. "Are you sure there
were just three hundred francs?''
"Sure as sure caA be, sir" the servan
replied.
Then look in the bag again There
must be one lett there"
The man leokS and sure enough
found the last god h4ece there"
"Oh sir" he exclaimed, as the
stranger sprang into hi, saddle, you
are my deliverer. T>n me your name

done him such a service"

stranger. "Tell your master that the
one who helped you was very good
and intelligent dog by the name of
Joie."
1t was some gears afterward, when
France had seen troubled times and the
royal family was no more, that the
master was telling the incident to
party of friends. One of them had been
employed in the palace.
''Joie! Joie" he exclaimed There
never was but one dog of that name,
and there never was more remarkable
and faithful dog than he He always
