IL Famous In IsdiA.
The Banjaras occasionally kesp dogh
and Il was, we believe. . Banjars dog
which gave rise to the Bethgelert legend
Of India. The story comes from stleast
half dozen different parts Of India, the
substance betng identical, though tho 10.
calities differ. This Is how II runs,
Once upon time poor man owed .
large sum Of money TO Baniya, and -
he could pay nothing the Baniys came
to seize his property. but found al that
he had was . dog. "well," said the
Baniya, ''since you have nothing else, ]
viii take the dog. He viii help TO watch
my house." So the poor man took ten.
der farewell Of his l-footed friend, with
many injunctions to serve his new mas
ter faithfully and never attempt to run
home.
Some time after the dog got to his new
home thieves broke into the house and
took all they could find. Though the
dog barked as loudly - he could, yet the
Bsniya snored on peacefully. and 90,
seeing the thieves disappearing with
their booty. he followed them and saw
them hiding their treasure In holes dug
In the dry bed Of Q nala. He then ran
home and never stopped barking till his
master woke up.
The Baniya was frantic with grief on
discovering his loss and was about to
wreak his vengeance on the dog. but at
tracted by his strange behavior he de-
termined to watch him instead. Tho
dog at once led the way to the nala and
began scratching at the hole, and very
soon the stolen wealth was again In pos
session Of Its lawful owner. The Ba-
niyas delight ON recovering his property
was 30 great that he wrote on q paper,
"Your dog has paid your debt" and fas-
tening this to tho dogs collar he bade
him to return to his old master, and the
faithful dog. full Of Joy. trotted of as
hard as he could 20.
His old master. as II happened, just
about this time began TO long for sight
Of his dog and determined to 90 and SEQ
how he was getting on. When half way
on his journey, he saw the dog running
toward him. He drew his sword and
awaited his approach, and as the dog,
with Q little whimper Of Joy, sprang for.
ward to caress him he cut Of his head
with the sword. crying out: Thou dis
obedient dog! Pay the penalty Of desert
ing thy post"
Then too late he saw the note attached
to his dead friends neck and was seized
with such remorse that he fell upon his
sword and died. The man and dog arc
buried In one grave, and any one trav.

In, In this wayy Certainly there ar'
some things concerning which this pro

In other respects II may seem obscure,
For instance, isn't q mans sorrow at the

for loving and appreclstlng them very
accurately? Il seems so to me.
Also, II we have an ear for harmony
