a D.ggar,s Faitbful Friend

LIE Gaulois tells tho following story
of an intelligent French poodle: A
blind beggar was in tho habit some
years since Of frequenting tho Pont des
SITS. Peres, where he used to station
himself with clarinet and nm intelli-
gent poodle. The place was well chosen,
and charitable contributions poured into
the little wooden bowl which tho dog
held in his mouth. One day tho blind
man, who had reached an advanced
age, was not to be seen. He had fallen
i'll, in fact, and was unable to pursue
his avocation. His faithful companion,
however. continued to frequent the ao-
oustomed spot, and the passersby, to
whom ho was familiar, understood that
his master was unwell and, touched by
the dogs fidelity, dropped their ponce
into his bowl in increased numbers
After time tho beggar died, all event
which the willy poodle kept carefully to
himself, until he also became an abb
sentee from tho Pont DIES SITS. Peres
His disappearance produced great SEN
sation among his numerous clientele
and search was prosecuted, when the
poor animal was found lying dead in q
cellar near his former masters abode, q
sum of 10000 francs in bonds of the
Orleans railway being discovered under
the litter on which he was stretched.
