the old hound went clubbing around in
the shade.
"'Hadn't we better shake him up a
little" l suggested, when l was In the
condition you reach after ten minutes
in the steam room.
Ono, no. Jim exclaimed, hurriedly.
He's nervous, too, and so easily put out.
Let him alone and he'll get along all
right
He said we must leave the hound
in the shade and stay in the hot sun our
selves, so as not to interfere with him.
So I left Jim and the hound together,
and strolled over to a swamp where
the bird dog had gone nosing about,
and where l could hear him yelping.
l thought he had discovered a bird,
but presently 1 spied a fox coming
Looping along with the bird dog at his
heels. The dog didn't seem in any
hurry to catch up with the fox, and all
that the fox seemed to want to do was
to keep out of sight of the hound, which
was SGlIl uupDillS away dG ulSldASe
of only few hundred feet.
81 watched them little while. Every
time the dog came near me he seemed
to look up with an appealing express
sion, and so for fear of hurting his feel
ings 1 thought would shoot the fox.
But as soon as l raised my gun, and he
caught sight of me, he uttered loud
howl and darted away for home with
his tail between his legs. Jim came
running over toward me to see what
the matter was.
"Bless mel he said, when 7 told
him, I'm so sorry you frightened him.
He won't get over it for Il week. ought

him about the fox.
Now he said, you'll see what a

I'VE chased the old hound about for
some time and when we caught him

Jim kept saying:

The mans indignation was such that
his throat Kissed as the cooling bev-

"Of course" he went on, you can't

you've got to shoot your friend. didn't

dogs, and they told us that the goose
was really responsible for it's death.
| According to their story, it had sneaked
into the farmyard and the goose had
caught sight of it and squawked and
shooed it like mad. That brought up
the bird dog and the young hound, and
the fox lodged into the barn, where q
horse kicked and killed it before it had
a chance to get at the goose.
Jim believed the story, and it made
him prouder than ever of the goose.

go fox hunting again if he would let me
take the goose along instead OF the
dogs, but he was SO fond of his pet
that he wouldn't risk it. So here am.

NICHOLAS IFS OBJECT LESsoN.
He Rides on Street Car to Shot His
Ohhcers That 1t Isn't Disgrake.

ne Oh street Gar TO Sn0A HIS
Officers That 1t Isn't Disgrake.
Nicholas III. of Russia has had some
trouble in bending the stitf-neclJed mil
itary etiquette of St. PetersE e reg
iments to suit his rather libeI IDEAS.
He is not popular with the my, as
were the three AleXanders, DIES lite his
gifts of reading-rooms and dinfn6f halls
to crack regiments, and theref1'e the
innovations he recommends arr. intro-
duced very slowly. Ever since he as
cended the throne, for instance, he has
been trying to discredit the notion that
an army officer may not ride with pro-
priety in common street car. The
army officer in st. Petersburg has long
been supposed to be too rich and pow
erful and too far superior to civilians to
associate with the ordinary street-car
crowd.
One of the few untitled officers in
the Russian capital ventured q few
weeks ago to ride in a street car to his
barracks. 1t was presumptudus and
courageous act for he had to alight be-
fore the crack cavalrymen's cas- mo of
the city. 1t proved to be veryindis-
Greet act, too, for his fellow Officers at
once took him to task for disgracng his
uniform, refused to listen to the cita-
tions of the cars remarks on &c sub
ject, and eventually after days 'perse-
cution, began urging on hinl .lD. pro-
priety of resigning his commission. In
his distress the presented officer
turned to a friend in the ministry of
war, who brought the whole affair to
the cars notice. 1t was four o'clock
in the afternoon when Nicholas heard
the story. He at once put on a dark
suit, ordered his adjutant to do the
same, and together they went 10 the
spot where the prosecuted officer had
taken a car. They boarded car, rode
on it to the barracks, alighted, boarded
a returning car, and went back to the
palace. The car wrote out a brief ac
count of his little trip, and added to it
the inquiry:
Am l still worthy to wear the uni
form of Russian officer?"
He signed the document nicholas"
and sent it to the colonel of the perse-
cuted officers regiment. Since then
there has been peace at the officers
quarters of that regiment, and the man
who rode on a horse car has been treat
ed with the Difference belonging to one
who pulls wires at court.
Perhaps Nicholas got his idea of an
object lesson in this case from Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, The en-
peror heard several years ago that his
officers in Vienna were agitated over
the question of the propriety of riding
in omnibuses. He remarked impatient
ly that this was weighty subject for
large brains and should be settled be-
fore anybody's mind broke down under
