She Knew Herself.

The New York Tribune has pretty
story of Ethel and her aunt. The
aunt, it appears, had many cares and
Interruptions, and had been heard to
sigh for solitude. Just one hour day
of rest and quiet would be priceless
boon to her.
"Aunty," said Ethel one day, after a
full three minutes of silence, when I
am real rich, when L have millions Of
dollars, the first thing 1 shall do will
be to hire a real soldier, with real
gun, to stand and guard your door so
you can have all the solitude you
want. viii pay him thousand dol
lars u week"
Aunty expressed her appreciation OF
such kindness.
"But, aunty," added Ethel, in a sad.
ly reflective tone, Il just know shall
be the first person to get shot"

ing animal home out of sheer pity, for
he did not think it at all beautiful: but
it was the case of the ugly ducllling
over again. In few months time the
puppy they had named Captain grew
into a beautiful animal, as You can
see by the portrait, and his owner be-
came proud of his rescued possession.
Captains master had no wife. and hut
one child-a little girl-to whom the
dog was wonderfully devoted Every
morning the child walked with serv-
ant to a school about mile distant
from the town; here she was left, and
fetched in the evening. Captain al
ways made third on these eXpedi-
tions, walking closely beside his young
mistress as if to protect her.
On one occasion there was party at
the school, and Captains owner had
arranged that his daughter should stay
there all night. l;ut as the afternoon
wore on and the servant did not pre-
pare for her usual journey, Captain be-
came very restless, and trotted to the
door as if to say: Isn't it time to
start?" and when supper time came he
was nowhere to be found.
Next day he was found at the school,
where he had, as you have guessed, 1
expect, taken his way in search of his
mistress. He had appeared at the door
about eight the previous evening. and
when let in sought his little owners
side, evidently anxious she should re-

great lover of animals has said
that dogs can be almost taught to
speak. Captain, although he had not
advanced so far as this, could spell his
own name, and that of his owner. The
letters used in the names were cut out

the ground before him, and with

not know how long Captain took to
learn this wonderful trick, but 1 do

Captains eye, and his limbs are stiff,
and his frame gaunt with age but he
is still living and if he regards you as
a special friend you may coax him to
spell his name.-Pail Mall Budget.
