AS TRUE AS STEEL
Pathetic Story Of Faithful Dog
and His Master.
Rex Thought the Baby Had Been Left Ii
the Burning House and Sacrificed His
Life In an Attempt to
Rescue 1t.

There was a oiangor of fire bells in
Jersey village one evening recently,
and the small excitement 1t created
was at first hailed with the heartless
pleasure even misfortune gives an un-
eventful community. The flames
soaked up the little frame house cruel
ly, and shortly after the blaze started
only q charred and smoking mass re-
manned.
The fire had broken out quite early
in the night, no one could tell exactly
how or where. The first notification
the sleeping family received came
from the loud and furious barking OF
the house dog. He was a splendid St.
Bernard OF more than ordinary intelli-
gence and devotion, his care for the
baby of the household being especially
noticeable. The family remembered
afterward that he had barked under
meath all the bedroom windows in rapid
succession, and even around at the
back, where the servant was sleeping.
Then. as soon as he had seen that all
the family We're aroused, Rex-his
name suited him right royally-ga
Hoped off to the barn not far from the
house. The door had been left partly
open. and he quickly entered, barked
wildly about the two cows, and after
repeated efforts drove the frightened
creatures out through the lane into the
pasture field at a safe distance from the
already blazing house. This done,
Rex scurried back to tie house, and
found the family miserably re-
garding their perishing home. The
dog jumped affectionately around
the family, receiving praises and
caresses from the weeping mother and
children, and obviously looking for
some one. 4 kindly woman had d mo-
ment before carried away the baby,
and Rex, as was soon seen, was hunt

doggie, he presently became convinced
that the baby had been left behind,

In, Rex started up the back stairs to
where the baby usually slept.
There was moment of horror striclz-
en- silence, and the master Of the
house, despite his wife's entreaties, Sc
cured a ladder and made hurried en-
trance by a tlreman's aid into the bed
room window, where he felt suro he
would find the dog. There, by the ba-
by's cradle, whining piteousiy, stood
poor Rex, shaking the cradle at inter
walls with his teeth and trying by every
means to attract his little charge,
whom he supposed still sleeping. The
smoke had so blinded the poor old fell
low that he was quite unable to see
that the cradle was empty. His master
was obliged TO keep near the window.
The flames were now darting across

The master made a desperate effort

Rex turning reproachful eyes upon him
moved closer to the cradle with con-
tinued grief-stricken bowls. The hand
that clutched his collar burned with a
fiendish intensity OF pain. yet neither
master nor man moved an inch. The
strength Of the St. Bernard made his
huge body great resisting force. and
presently in answer to wild shouts
from without his master with a groan
dropped the collar.
His master viii always use his right
hand with difficulty, and when some
one recently condoled with him he said
kavagely:
