petted and extolled Davie, congratu-
lating him on being noosed, not
Drained. Barlas purchased votive
offering, which surprised his wife, and
then Davie and he were marched down
TO the heated bazaar below, where the
toys glittered and the children
thronged. Davie recognized the pug,
which had barked at him, and the collie
and Dandie he had envied. Barlas was
abashed. He heard the Dandie's little
mistress say, Mother, dear, that dog

bowling on the doorstep opposite last
night. / know for certain that man
with the parcel is it's master, and he

"Eh, I'm fair shamed.'' said Barlas to
himself. and he was still more "shamed'
when he heard a lady say TO the shop
walker, 81 was glad to see in the papers
the police got that horrid drunk man
away from your window without hurting
his poor dog
YES madam. The crowd soon cleared.
We think that is the man. there. Some
of our young ladies upstairs have tied
blue ribbon round his collies neck"
B2rlas looked down and saw Dawes
brown coat so ornamented. He hurried
off, bought a Scotchman and skunk into
his train.
"Davie. lad" he said as they went
whirling south, you are as good dog
as your auld mither. and that is saying
Kirk tae; l maun haze disgraced We sair
yestereen; nae wonderment you are

beyond moderation. I'll swear it you,
and James Barlas will no gang frae his
word I'll put your blue ribbon in my
pocket. 1t will mind me no to disgrace
We again"
Dave was enchanted. He raced home
ahead of his master on three legs He
saw the guidman'S stores and the sheep
smelling notes put safe by, and he sat
down by little Fife. who was divided in
her affection between the fiaxen haired
doll and the wee little Santa Claus father
had given her. She patted Dawes honest
face.
"Hows Dave gotten a sore leg? Who
hurried him?" she asked, turning round
to Barlas.
I'm thinking a drunken drover kicked
him." answered her father, "but he'll
never dae that MAR
Davie turned his soft brown eyes up to
Barlas's cunning, shrewd grey ones, and
wagged his forgiving tail.
Dave is real content to be at his ain
fireside for Christmas. Eth, lad" said
Barlas, as he stopped to stroke the
friend, who would never tell you"
about Christmas Eve.

India,s Terrible Famine.

Philadelphia Inquirer: 1t appears
now from the official reports that the
suffering will not be so great as has
been feared The situation has been
much improved by heavy rains. and,
while the figures given as to the area
which is still destitute are appalling
enough, yet districts which it was at
first thought could not be saved from
starvation will be aided. The extent
of the suffering caused by the famine
in Russia five years ago made the
world marvel, and yet it was insignifi-
cant when compared with the story
which comes from India. 1t was at
first estimated that 90.00e,000 of people
would be affected by the failure of the
crops, and that at least third of that
number would be doomed to starvation.
The November rains reduced the num-
Der to $4,000, 900, and the estimate is
now made that the number of suffer-
ers will be in the neighborhood of 3d.
600, 600. Four weeks of the agricul-
tural season still remain, and the peo-
pie are more hopeful, the fear of
rioting and disorder has passed and
the government will be able to direct
its full efforts toward the help Of
regions that, under other eircun-
stances, might have been left unaided.

the precious notes. Davie, gasping
and reeling from the shock of his sud-
den capture, gave a spring toward
them, but the halter thwarted him.
The light from the big window lit UP
the scene. The dog gave a piteous
stified whine of apprehension as the
sergeant picked up the money, and the
crowd gave careworn Davie another
cheer.
Here, see, Collie, what's your name?
Yarrow? No. Tweed? Laddie? Look,
good dog, here is your masters money.
We are not going to do him or YOU
any hurt-mind the siller there" said
the sergeant as the change from out
of James pocket ran over the pave
ment.
Eager but honest hands picked it up,
and the police to Dawes relief slipped
it and the notes into one of James
more secure pockets. The dog realized
he was among friends. for his blue
coated late enemies spoke kindly to
him, and he followed quietly in the
rear of the procession. He was well
fed and locked up beside his master.
REPENTS TWICE.
He went next day before the magis-
trate with his crestfallen sober mas
ter. There was some joke about his
being drunk and disorderly, which his
doggie brain did not fathom. Then the

to a cabinet minister as describing
Great Britain's position in the family
