SAVED BY HIS DOG.
A Canine Hero and Thrilling Adventure
With "a Rather.


c. l.. McCloud, shoe drummer of Ports
mouth, O., returned from Kentucky the
oil her evening and related a thrilling story
Of adventure. For two days he was the
guest of Harry Briggs, son OF the proprietor
of the Briggs House, at his Kentucky home,
near Tygart creek He took with him his
gun and fine thoroughbred Irish setter
Frank. 1t was u fortunate suggestion
which caused him to take the dog, for to
that animal he owes his life.
One afternoon McCloud and Biggs
strolled over to the woods near Tygart
creek for Il shot ut a squirrel. The dog was
tied up at the house. They had been in the
woods some time, when young Bggs had
occasion to return to the house for some
thing McCloud went up n ravine to a
shady nook, where he lay down to sleep.
How long he slept he can't say, but the
terror of his awakening was beyond de
scription. He awakened with the con
sciousness of some weight upon his breast,
and before he saw what it was his nostrils
were assailed by peculiar odor. CHANGING
down (he was lying on his back the sight
which met his eyes well nigh petrified him.
There, cooled on his breast, was Il full
grown rattlesnake. 1t was sleeping peace

ages to the Mortified man, he WAS almost
afraid to breathe lest he should awaken it.
Presently Biggs returned and his foot
steps awakened the reptile, which was in
stantly head and tail erect, awaiting the
attack BiGgs at once saw the horror Of
the situation, but was at a loss what to do.
He feared to fire lest he might shoot his
companion, and he also feared that if he
didn't kill the snake instantly it would
dash its fangs into the PROSTATE man.
While both men were thus stupefied with
fear the bushes again parted, and another
actor was Oh the scene. 1t was the dog.
lie at once saw his masters peril, and,
crouching with his belly almost to the
ground, he slowly crept toward the snake.
The latter watched every move of the dog,
as if he knew the duel was to the death.
On came the dog, creeping slowly as a
snail. then, when within five feet, with one
leap Of almost lightninglike rapidity, he
was on the snake.
The bound was so sudden that the snake
had no time to strike, and before the two
men could realize what had happened the
reptile was torn to shreds. The two men
took the dog to the creek and thoroughly
washed his mouth and to their joy found
no scratches. After the excitement had
passed, McCloud sank in faint and was
Just able to get home The dog, in his
eagerness to follow his master, had broken
his fastenings st Lonis Republic.
