A Brave Dog.

The bravery of dog was notably
shown recently in a struggle between
Mrs. Burrill, cook at Boar's Head
Tavern Leeds, and ruffian named
Rotherty, who was insane with jeal-
ousy, says the London News The
villain had entlced Mrs. Burrill into
a remote room, and was about to dis
patch her with razor when the hotel
dog issued from under couch, and
springing upon the assassin seized
him by the coat sleeve, close to the
wrist. This compelled the man to
attempt to shake the animal off.
Meanwhile he necessarily relaxed his
hold upon the woman, who now
found strength TO call for help Roth
cry, however, succeeded in releasing
himself, and once more he rushed at
the woman, razor in hand.
The dog, however, was still more
nimble; he spraug between them, and
leaped to seize the fellow by the
throat. 1t was at this moment that
the landlady, having heard the
screams, rushed into the room. With
great presence of mind the landlady
dragged Mrs. Burrill out, and closing
the door shut the man In the room
with the. dog. The animal did not
further modest Rothery who there
upon cut his own throat, and was
found by policeman few minutes
later at the point of death.

Stealing "A Tombstone.

In the neighborhood of the French
town of Auteuil there stands a little
churchyard where many of the nObil-
ity Of the empire are buried. Some
of the graves have sunk TO a level
with the sod, and in consequence
their identity has been lost The
tomDstOnes in many places having
fallen down, the guardian of the place
has piled them against the wall, be-
ing unable to identify the graves to
which they belong.
One snowy night in winter an old
woman, bent and STOPPING, with a
bundle of faggots on her back strayed
into this cemetery. She peered round
cautiously, and, finding that she was
alone in the place, advanced to the
pile Of tombstones that lay along the
snow covered wall
Drawing a sack out from her dark
cloak she lugged stone cross from
the pile, and, forcing it into the bag,
prepared to drag it away. They ar
rested the poor woman at the gate,
for, bent almost double with the
weight of the load, she could only
move slowly, and she was brought up
before the police magistrate.
Then she told her story with many
tears. Her granddaughter had died
a few days before-starved to death
for want of proper nourshment She
had loved the little girl very dearly
She was now alone in the world, and
being unable to buy stone to place
over her grave, she had thought OF
stealing one.
When they heard her story there
was a mist in the eyes Of those who
listened. She was not punished; she
was allowed to go free, and not before
handsome purse had been made up
for her by those who were present

Ungallant-

Although American gentlemen
have the reputation in Europe of al
lowing the female members OF their
families to do much as they please,
they have not the name of possessing
the quality which Frenchmen call
gallantry They are not makers OF
compliments.
In support Of this view, a story
told by an English-speaking guide in
the Alps is repeated.
The guide was conducting through
various points of interest in the
mountains an elderly American and
his somewhat QueruOus and fault
finding wife.
''In this direction" said the guide,
''there is most remarkable echo,
which repeats clearly five times every
word that is shouted. Shall | show
