writer i'll tracing the ancestry OF
the dog to wolf and jaekal notices typ
ical differences in the case of their
eyes, their body colors and markings,
the habit of turning around before ly-
ing down and other interesting pecul-
iarities, but he does not mention the
most striking and infallible way of dis
tinguishing them namely, by the fash
ion in which they carry their tails.
Wolves and coyotes have sneaking
way of carrying their tails low, almost
dragging on the ground, while dogs
carry their tails up, and the farther re-
moved they are from the feral type the
higher they carry them. Shepherds
and collies, which retain many of their
racial characteristics, carry their tails
lowest of all; settlers and pointers a de-
gree or two higher, stiffening out
straight when drawing on game; ter
riers and hounds elevate their tails to
the spinal line; st. Demands and New
foundlands affect a curve over the
back, while pugs actually come to
full twist. An old plainsman could
tell a wolf or coyote as far as he could
see him, and in buffalo days this was
a most useful indication of buffalo
herds being not far away. These pred
atory creatures always followed a NOV

four hours into the composition of
five hundred word story about how the
brilliant young author of the latest
novel, 1.-THE Dice of the Gods" had
given his life to save child. His life
still hung by a thread, but there was
small hope of his recovery.
Latham, the cynical, chuckled when
the kilograms of inquiry poured In

young woman from Buffalo.
A gray eyed girl in a brown travel

fore the porter had well settled the
stool.
How is hep" she der AIDED from
Latham before the newspaper man had
announced himself. Her quick eye had
picked him out at once.
Better; he has a chance" answered
Latham. This way for the cab,

Latham could not tell on the journey
TO the hospital whether she cared for
Weir or not She was so quiet and self
composed so eminently mistress of
herself, that he felt an unworthy de-
sire to say something that would cut
her to the quick. But once, when they
got caught in a jam of carriages and
had to wait a few moments. she turned
white face to him and asked If there
were not some way of getting to the
hospital faster. Then Latham wanted
to shake hands with himself for hav-

The city editor made a pretense of
talking with the nurse a moment while
Miss Sheldon went into the room alone.
You poor boy" he heard her cry
with indeseribable tenderness
When Latham, after vehement cough

her kneeling by the bedside crying soft

tell that the young man had taken a
renewed grip on life.
