A Small but Faithful Friend.

During the Franco German war, in
A. d. 1870, French soldier who had
been shot in the chest lay bleeding and
in terrible pain on the battlefield Night
came on, and he was alone with the
dead bodies of his late comrades. But
his dog, little terrier, found him and
came up to him, licking his face and
hands After awhile it seized its mas
ter's cap and ran away. The wounded
man thought that even his dog had for
saken him and gave himself up for lost
The terrier, however, had gone to the
nearest house, two or three miles off
and the people. seeing IA soldiers cap in
it's mouth and noticing its restless, ex-
cited manner, guessed that help was
needed and set off with the little dumb
guide in front. The dog led them
straight TO his master, who had tainted
with pain and loss of blood But, thanks
TO the friendly help which was thus
brought to him, his life was saved
