tile pug-an inoffensive little animal
that magnanimous kitten would have
scorned to swear at-was fair game for
you. Do you realize how thick your
bootsoles are?"
Then Imagination pictured the dog
writing in pain with fractured ribs
and displaced internal organs, whim'
peTins more and more feebly, and yet
striving to lick the hand with which its
weeping mistress tried to soothe its
agony. OF course it would be absurd
for woman to weep over fat, asth
matte little beast like that, and yee
there were doubtless cases where peo-
pie became attached even to pugs.
Memory carried the man back to time
when he loved stolid and unresponsive
guinea pig, which he kept in the back
garden. He remembered that he
howled dismally when it died of sur
felt of turnips. The man groaned.
whats the trouble?" asked the ship
ping clerk. Haven't got the toothache,
have you?"
Its been bothering me more or less
for week. Guess I'll have to have it
out" replied the man, and then con-
science went for him again.
1t happened that another clerk soon
after spoke of a teamster that he had
seen trying to make wreck and
remnant of horse pull tremendous
load-how the horse had strained its
CALLED shoulders against the collar
again and again, and then, slipping, fell
sprawling on the granite and was
dashed numerically by its driver. All
the others loudly condemned the inhu-
manity Of the teamster, but the man
was silent.
Dare TO say a word" said conscience.
THE teamster had his load to deliver.
He had to get his horse up. lie was
| Ignorant, but you-what excuse can you
lot1er?"
The man knew he had none. lie felt
that he had forfeited his right to ex-
claim against anything short of the
Spanish inquisition. He had anticipat-
ed great deal of pleasure in inveigh'
ing at the boarding house table against
the brutality of the approaching prize
fight, but it was quite likely that by
night everybody would be informed
how he brutally kicked the pug. Per-
haps, he thought, the pug had died OF
its injuries. The little round body was
! perhaps stiff in death, the brown eyes
glazed and sightless, the cleaning
white teeth clinched-because he hao
happened to cross the path of bitter
malevoent reincarnation of Nero.
llday long the mans conscience har
ried him. 1t seemed that nobody in the
boarding house had heard about the
matter, and yet the man thought there
was a distinct alteration in the bearing
of the boarders toward him. 1t affected
his appetite for dinner, as the memor.
of the kick had destroyed his inclina
ton for lunch.
One of the boarders spoke of the foot
ball game, and the man thought he de
tected yelled alluson to his treatmen

this character it was his pleasing habit
to produce from his waistcoat pocket a
little glass vial containing homeopathic
doses of pepsin and swallow two or
three of the tiny white pellets with an
audible gulp, though he was in the
main a well-meaning man. He had
swallowed his usual dose. but it had
not alleviated his distressing symp-
toms, and what should have been the
whites of his eyes were quite yellow as
he furled his umbrella in the hall and

companions criticism of the butter. re-
marked that "some men wonld KICK at
anything," and the man shuddered.
That night. the man slept little. He
was wondering how the pug felt, and
wrestling with his conscience. When
from sheer WEAKNESS his eyes closed in
slumber he was disturbed with visions
of savage dogs which chased him. He
rose hcavy-lidded and Respondent.
There was corned beef hash for break
fast that morning, and the man was I'M
commonly fond of corned beef hash
which was one reason why he was dys-
pcptic-but the portion that he took on
his plate was almost untouched when
he left the table.
As he took up his umbrella in the hall
he told himself that "a hours before he
was not a criminal. lie sighed heavily.
He walked down the steps, and his
face was averted from the house.
Somebody, he thought, might be look
ing out of the window and see and rec
opnize him. He felt he could not sus-
tain a reproachful glance Then, as he
turned to walk down the street, he
started at the sound of sharp bark.
The pug was standing in the shelter
of the doorway, barking at the man
with unbelievable energy and hearth
ness. His curly tail vibrated and his
black muzz.e barred his white teeth as
he yelped his defiance and anger but
the man stood and looked a him with
happy smile on his face.
"Thank the Lord" calculated the
man, piously.-Chicago Daily Record

DEWEY'S ALL RIGHT
He Is in No Sense a Sick Han as He
 Has Been Reported 10 Be.

Washington, May 24.-Surgeon J. E. Page, of Admiral Dewey's flagship Olympia, arrived here on leave. He came here ahead of the Olympia to avoid the long delays of sail via the Suez canal. Surgeon Page has been on the flagship ever since Dewey took command.
 He said today: Admiral Dewey is in no sense a sick man, but is as well as any man could be after spending year in the tropics. I was on the Olympia at the tune he came aboard. and from that time to the present ! do not believe there has been any pre- ceptible change in his appearance, weight or general condition
 Tt needed a pretty calm man at the head of affairs,'' said Surgeon Page. when asked as to the reports of fric- tion with the German naval officers. '1 know nothing of any differences, but we all felt that much reliance was to be placed on the admiral's tact and conservatism as a means of avoiding and possible difference. Throughout the fleet he was universally admired, not only as naval commander but fo- his craftsmanship and discretion
