rnIe Of a Knowing Dog That Was
Made Jealous by Another
Canine.

A valuable English pointer, which
was lost from a plantation near here,
recently, was found In Joyceville, .
small village in Mecklenburg county,
! $50 miles away. AS to the manner in
which he disappeared from the plan
tation there is a story, says a Crewe
(Va.) correspondence of the New York
Gun.
A northern man brought the English
pointer to Virginia from the Genesee
valley for couple Of weeks quail
shooting. On the plantation at which
he put up there was another dog-an
old liver-colored pointer-who once
had been known as the best bird dog
in the county, but had outlived his
reputation, and except under the most
favorable conditions was of little SER
vice.
On the day the northerner arrived
both dogs were taken into the field.
In very short time the native had the
humiliation of seeing himself beaten
In his own country and at his own game
by stranger. The new dogfound three
rovies to his one and beat him quite
as badly on the single birds In the
afternoon the old fellows work be-
came so ragged and he ran over so
many birds in his eagerness to outdo
his rival that his owner finally sent
him home,
The "best bird dog in the county"
crept through the pines with his tail
drooping--his colors struck, his heart
broken. When evening returned to the
house in the evening the vanquished
champion deliberately picked quar-
rel with his rival and was further hui
inflated with whipping by his mas
ter.
The next morning both dogs were
missing. Places for them to sleep had
been made on a back porch. Nowhere
were they to be found on the planta-
tion, nor had they been seen by anyone
in the neighborhood. The next after
noon the old dog returned, tired out
but calm and cheerful. The new dog
was not with him.
The men set out on horseback to
run him downif possible. No trace was
found until they reached Jetersville,
ten miles from here. There a planter
declared that early on the day before
he had seen two pointers one liver-co1-
ored and the other white, trotting
along a road leading to Blackstone.
The white dog was five or ten yards |
ahead Of the other and apparently
being chased. Whenever he attempted |
to stop or turn the liyer-colored dog |
closed in on him. Between Jetersville |
and Blackstone the planters story was
score of times. White |
men and colored had seen the two wan
derers; sometimes in the fields, some
times on the highway or skulking
through the pines. But the white dog
Vas always little way ahead and ap-
greatly detected At the falls
sf Not4oway, which are at the extreme
md of the county, the trail was lost
md the men were compelled to return
iome without the dog.
What became of him after his vigil
int jailor left him has still to be
earned, but the evidence against the
I'D liver-colored native is too convine-
ng to be set aside. He deliberately
irove his rival from the plantation
nd not satisfied with that chased him
lean out Of the county.

Several miles southwest of tie Shoshone
Falls, Idaho, and near the Rock River In
dian Reservation there Is what the Indians
call the "Singng Spring" This spring Is
very peculiar affair." Thousands OF gal
Ions Of water, pure and cold as Ice, gush
from its mouth daily; and sounds not unlike
those of a harp constantly come from the
falling water. The music Is sweet indeed;
now low and soft as fairy lullaby, now
loud and tremulous as the last notes of some
great orchestra. This spring is sacred to
the Indians, from one of whom succeeded
in securing the legend which makes 1t So
This Is what Ne-o-ta-lah told me as we
sat on a rock at the springs edge:
at was many great suns ago that the
Oldest of our tribe cannot remember where
the speaking rocks that told the story were
found But the medicine men say that IL
was before the time of the desert ana tne
cactus when the buffalo and the deer were
plenty The hills were young then; the
great pines of the forest were easily Dended
before the storms breath and the earth had
never nourished an acorn-then 1t was that
Mee-tee-tse came to gladden. his fathers
tepee.
And Mee-tee-tse was a very GOOD boy.
Whether he was free to tease the skulklng
dogs or bound to his cradle-board, the chiid
was always happy. He smiled at the songs
of the birds and he cooed with delight at the
mournful signs of the Travelling Moon.
$50 II was said of the little boy That ne
was to become great and powerful among
his pecple. Early his father placed the bow
and arrow In his hands, as early Mee-tee-
tse was made wise In the art of casting an
unerring spear. At u great suns he was
the idol of his people. He had already be-
gun to read the speaking rocks. From
them he learned the history of the making

rocks told him OF the first man who came
In big canoe, and that there was sent
out from the big canoe dove to search for
land This dove, Mee-tee-tse read, was as
white as the spotless caps Of the mountains.
Woe to the hunter who should bring down
white dove! prophesied Mee-tee-tse.
"There came murmurs of Jealousy from
some of the medicine men.
Returning hunters always carried the
choicest game to Meetee-tse; the finest
skins and the prettlest p.umage were his
portion.
Something must be done to break the
growing power of the favored child. The
plotters invoked the aid of the Evil One.
Far from the village at night they went
to the mountain heights and chanted songs
of praise to the Spirit of Evil, without avail;
and at last the juice of the loco weed was
stealthily placed in Mee-tee-tse's food. I'm
suspecting he ate and sickened but he was
50 closely watched and so carefully nursed
that he recovered.
"Soon after this a councll.of the chiefs de-
cided to make him the wise man of the
tribe, for he seemed able to read every
omen and his advice was always found good.
But on the very day when he was to have
been invested with this high Office an enemy
brought down white dove with his arrow

warning cry when found. The guides rushed
from the spot and quickly spread the news
Mee-tee-tse also ran from the tepee, utter

Woe, woe.

Angrily men and women followed the noise,

were full of song and where peace and plenty

"Mee-teetse told a wonderful story. In
search of water, he had fallen exhausted

of air came from the hole and gave him
strength to drag himself forward into the
cave. After sometime he found himself

Some Amusing Games.
LITTLE WORDS.

While one leaves the room the others agree
upon word, as the" YOU yes" or
no." or any of the small words that do not
contain more than four letters. When the
person is readmitted he or she asks a ques-
tion of each one, and the chosen word must
be given by all in their answers. Suppose
the word land" is selected and the question
should be this:
do you think we shall have snow today?'
Il hope so, for long TO see it snow, and |
am very fond of snowballs."
Then to the next one she might say:
''You are fond CT snowballs also?"
Eyes. when there is a large party of us,
and they are all very merry"
The questioner will notice that there are
three little words in the last answers
and, of and "very"-that are in the
first; therefore. in the next answer she must
remember which of these three words are
repeated again. so in this manner she will
soon be able to find the right word. But If
unable to guess it she must leave the room
again while another Is chosen.
The player by means of whose answers
the word is guessed must be the next to
withdraw, while the others fix upon a word
to be guessed as before.
THE RHYMING GAME
One person thinks of word, and gives
word that will rhyme with it. The players,

and instead of speaking, define them. Then
the first person must be quick In guessing
what is meant by the description, and
