WAS SURE TO COME BACK.
The Dog Brought His Owner "A Small,
Bat Certain Income.
From the IhiIadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Henry B. Gross, the manufacturer, had
some time ago very peculiar experience
with a dog-a red dog red setter dog.
His business took him to Elkton, Md.
There in front OF a drug store he saw
what he thought was a very handsome
and fine dog, although he does not pro-
fess to be a judge of the canine race.
The thought came to his mind that his
wife was very anxious to possess an ami
NAL of that character, and so he inquired
Of the man of drugs IL he would part

railroad station, jealousy guarded him
in the baggage car during the journey
TO the Quaker city brought him to his
home and triumphantly presented him to

his surroundings, the dog was chained
at night in the basement, and from mid
night to sunrise the neighborhood was
aroused with his bowls. 1t was thought
this vocal condition would pass by in
twenty-four hours, but the next was

from his couch and belabored him fun

realization of proper conduct, just as
recalcitrant children are sometimes sub

the day. but when the dog star again
famed in high heaven he lifted his voice
and walled in way that made the teeth
of the neighborhood grit and women
turn pale with fear that death was in
the house Then the manufacturer,
arising one more, went down and, after
another fagellation, unclaimed him and
let the canine pest loose In the yard,
hoping that a comparatively free con-
dition might bring him to a realization
of his infquity. The little free space in
the rear Of the house was surrounded

A HERO OF THE soUDAN.
Fanning's Deed Would Have Won
Him the Victoria Cross.
From Tid-Bits

From Tid-Bits.
Only those who have been engaged in ac-
tive warfare in the Soudan can realize
fully to what extent the religious fanati-
cism of the mahdis followers will carry
them in time of war. Reckless as to death.
they rush madly into the thick of the fray.
Fearless, bold and resolute is a true de-
scription OF the Hadendowa tribe of Sou
danese warriors, whose home lies in the
wild and mountainous districts of the east
ern Soudan.
This warli1e tribe of warriors had never
known what 1t was to suffer defeat at the
hands of an enemy until they received
their f1rst check from the British troops
at the battle OF El-Teb. Many a brave
young fellow shed his life's blood fighting
hand to hand with this warlike tribe in
defense of his country on the field of bat
tie that day. and many a poor mother at
home in England mourned the loss of the
one great joy of her heart, and whose
home was left desolate and bare, now that
the beloved one had persisted gallantly
fighting on the plains of the Soudan The
disastrous defeats OF Hicks Pasha. on the
Nile, and the intrepid Baker Pasha, in the
eastern Soudan, led up to the subsequent
events which / am about to narrate
At the battle of El-Teb (I'eb. 29 lS94) Col.
Barrow and Trumpeter Tanning, a young
fellow of 10 years, were leading a wing
of the Nineteenth Hussars in the charge
against the Arab forces, who were then
in full retreat, when suddenly they were
cut off from the main body of the regi-
IleHL ny u superior lOEcG OF the enemy.
Col. Barrow had already been badly
wounded in the charge, having been spear
ed through the left arm and side, and
was, therefore, powerless to defend him
self Trumpeter flaming, who was riding
by his SIDE took in the whole situation al
a glance, and, quickly dismounting from
his horse, stood on the defensive over
the body of his fallen colonel, and fought
with that indomitable pluck and courage
which only the British soldier can do
when put to the test. Drawing his re-
volver, and with a determined look to do
or die upon his manly young face. he
calmly awaited the onslaught of the saw
age horde. Not shot was wasted Every
bullet had il mark, for Tanning knew
only too well his chances would be small
once his revolver was empty.
At last the critical moment came and he
had fired his last shot. Drawing his
sword he awaited the attack with a firm
grip. And now came a terrific hand-to-
hand struggle, in which he fought like a
lion, until, stabbed in the right arm with
a spear, the gallant fellow fhroueh
weakness and loss of blood was cornpeIied
to relinquish his hold upon his sword
Nothing daunted, however the gallant
trumpeter seized his trumpet with his
left hand and again fought the enernvl
hand to hnad until literally borne fo fbge
ground by sheer force Of numbers Here
they fell upon him and hacked his body
with their short stabbing spears and
knives, and left him for dead upon the
field.
When we recovered the bodies they were

taken back to camp. Here we found that
Tanning was stabbed I'm seventeen differ
ent places, yet, despite this fact, the gal
liant fellow fingered for five days after
ward, and died at Victoria hospital Suez,
where he was buried Needless TO say,
had he recovered from his wounds, he
would have received the Victoria cross
for his bravery He leaves a widowed
mother to mourn his loss.
The trumpet, which bore such mute tes-
timony by the blood-stained finger marks
in his deathly grasp Of the gallant stand
made by the heroic youth, was afterward
recovered and preserved as a memento by
his comrades. Col Barrow afterward died
from the effects of his wounds, although
not until he had rendered excellent SER
vices on the Nile expedition.

ask how much you paid?"
When Informed that $40 was the price
paid, he laughed immoderately, and when
he recovered himself he said: "Well, you
are greeny That Is the highest figure
paid yet. Two dollars used to be the reg
ular price, and he finally got up TO IS.
but $40 beats the record"
Full of ire, the Philadelphia went back
to the lair of the soda water fountain
and said to It's proprietor; You have
robbed me. You make a business Of SELL
ing this dog"
The man placidly said: What COM
plant have you to make? There is your
dog Take him home with you"
There was some further argument, and
finally when II was suggested to the
apothecary that $40 was beyond the usual
price, he said, pleasantly: "Well, per-
haps 1t is. But, Of course, you must re-
member that the dog had to walk back
and we are entitled to some compensation
but am willing TO return you So" and
upon that basis the canine deal was set
tied.
