A Canine Fire Extinguisher.

The Newcastle Journal of Monday re-
ports a pathetic story of a dog, given in
evidence before the Gateshead magis-
trates. A man over eighty, charged with
keeping a dog without a license. did not
appear. but the chief constable informed
the bench that the old man had been
at the court in a terrible state Of dis
tress." and that he lived with his wife
in a condition of abject poverty on in

be destroyed If the summons was pressed.
as the old couple had no money TO pay
for license, but that the wife had begged
for the dogs life because 1t had once
saved her from being burned to death.
She had fallen into the fire in fit, and
"the dog had seized her. dragged her
from the flames. and. burying his nose
in her lighted clothes, had e5Dtinguished
the fire. To prove the truth of the
woman's statement the chief constable

wrong about the will, Jenner was the
first person to be Investigated. Her
mysterious disappearance as soon as
Hunter and Ketchum had thrown the
case into court confirmed my sus-

had been fatally injured in railway
accident while on her way to Rutland,
the accident occurring within short
distance Of her destination. She was
perfectly conscious when visited her,
and she seemed to realize her condition.
When told her for what purpose had

"What does II mean91 echoed Mrs,

sand now, Mrs. Maynard" continued
North, speaking slowly and looking
earnestly at Mrs. Maynard, who, with
her hands still held in that tense clasp
and her eyes fixed upon his face, was
listening 10 him with rapt attention,
"the strangest part Of my story is yet
TO come. For five long years Mrs. Dun
kirk was searching far and wide In the
hope Of discovering some trace Of her
niece, never dreaming that the young
girl whom she had taken into her heart
and home was the very one whom she
SO vainly sought; for Nina Kingsbury
and Annie Dupont are indeed one and
the same, and the lady whose name l
have withheld from you until now
was Mrs Kingsbury-your adaptive
motherl" @
The thought, the suspicion, wildly
improbable though II seemed, had oc-

while North was speaking; she had In
one flash Of diyination perceived the
truth as he led her on step by step over

"In her haste to secure these impor-

When, In the budding Of the year,
To her OF love 1 chanced TO sigh;
"'Tls spring." she whispered in my ear,
"Youll feel much better by and by"

And later, when the leaves fell down.
And l rehearsed my heartfelt tale,

But Miss Hilary did not hear the
question. Unable to conceal the agita-
ton caused by the revelations Of the
past few moments, she had taken
refuge in the conservatory; and when
Allan looked around anxiously for her
Mrs. Maynard silently indicated TO him
the place Of her retreat.

There was silence in the drawing
room for the space of two minutes, dur
ing which ollin North walked nervous
ly to and fro; then pausing beside Mrs
Maynard he addressed her in firm, low
| tones:
"Mrs. Maynard, ! have waited nov

rather than have uttered them. Mrs.
Maynard rose slowly, looking at him
with strange expression which, like
the dead calm Of her manner, seemed
but the prelude to storm of passion.
When she spoke she knew not what i'm
pulse lay behind the words; she only
dimly comprehended that what she
would have said remained unspoken,
while the thought that she would have
buried In her heart found passionate
utterance.
"You wish me happiness, Mr.. NorthP"
she repeated slowly, In tones that
would have been overwhelming had he
been conscious Of deserving the scorn
that they contained. 81 thank you'll
Why should I not be happy? If heart
and conscience condemn US not, then
happiness Is within the reach OF ALI to
these silent mentors commend you,
now and hereafter!" .
Then 1t was that perception Of his
blunder came over North, and he started
up with an impulsive protestation on
his lips, when suddenly voice was
heard in the hall, speaking to Williams
in sharp, imperative tone; then the
drawing-room portiere was swept aside
and q hasty step crossed the threshold.
Mrs. Maynard, who was directly fac
ing the door, looked up quickly TO see
who had entered. North, who was
partially turned away from the door,
sank back in his chair and looked
quickly at Mrs Maynard.
He saw her start violently, while the
frozen lifelessness Of her manner gave
place to sudden alert amazement. An
inarticulate cry broke from her lips;
then she stood transfxed, gazing
straight ahead as II she beheld an ap-
partition from another world.
A cool little smile passed over North's
face as he noted her agitation; and yet,
with all his coolness, faint thrill Of
excitement ran along his nerves as he
contemplated the scene now at hand.
Rising deliberately he drew himself
up TO his full height; then turning
slowly around he found himself face TO
face with the person who had just
entered the room.
A few PAGES distant the latter stood
q gentleman in long ulster which was
unfastened and thrown back, revealing
an elegant toilet beneath. This gentle
man was in personal appearance the per
feet counterpart Of Allan North; there
was the same tall, slender figure, the
same proudly-poised head with cluster
ing auburn curls, the same keen, dark
gray eyes, clear-cut features, sweeping
dark mustache only in the more delicate
variations of expression could subtle
difference be traced. One might well
be amazed by their remarkable resem.
blance as they stood thus silently face
TO face, looking at each other.
Miss Hilary, no less agitated than
Mrs. Maynard, stood with eyes fixed in
anxious suspense upon Allan's calm
grave countenance; while Williams, for
getting himself in the excitement Of the
moment, was lowering in the doorway
with uplifted hands, gazing at the two
gentlemen in open-mouthed astonish
ment.
One moment went by in absolute 81
lence-a moment full of dramatic In
terest to every member Of that LITTLE
group.
