Prince LIeweIyn and GeIert.
Harper,s Round TableO

> 4dDicJ
In the early days Irish wolf-dogs--sort
of tall grayhounds-were the most highly
valued OF all dogs, and no one but princes
and chiefs were allowed to keep them.
The Welsh laws of the ninth century pro-
vided heavy penalties for killing or
manning animals Of this breed. so great
was the esteem In which they were held.
In the year 1905 King John gave to
Prince Llewelyn. as a mark OF his high
regard. a beautiful Irish wolf-dog named
Gelert. This dog became a great favorite
with his master, and accompanied him
everywhere. But one day he was miss
ing from the chase and Llewelyn. very
angry, returned home to find out what
was the matter. He was met at the door
OF the chamber of his child by Gelert.
who came fawning up to him, his Jaws
dripping with blood. Hastily entering the
room Llewelyn found the bed overturned.
the coverings splashed with blood, and
no trace OF the body Of his son. He called
wildly but received no answer. Rashly
coneiuding that Gelert had torn his pc
loved boy TO pieces, he turned, ana. Ia DIS
anguish. thrust his sword through the
poor dogs body. and Gelert fell dead a.
his feet. At the same moment he hearo
cry from the adjoining room. nursyins
thither he found his child lying In cor
ner unframed, while near him lay the
mangled body of mountain woif Inc

nash their meaning was clear 70 tne un-
hanpy Prince. He had slain the defender
and preserver Of hts child.

those Of Richmond. where DR.. Owen is
20 well known. in the outcome OF the

his sermon, read before the congresa-
ton q letter that he had received from

most affecting and the incident has been
very generally discussed among the Bap-

day, at which DIR. owen Will make known
his decision as TO what course he pro-
poses TO pursue.
