Bulldog Scared Away Guests,

A writer tells how bulldog scared
away the guests hidden to a lady's recep-
ton. The hostess was waiting in her
parlor. She heard carriages arrive
heard the front gate open, but no guests
appeared. THE situation became puz-
zling. At last the lady of the house went
out to see if perchance the paving and
the steps had suddenly crumbled away
and left an aching void. Not at all. On
opening the front door she found herself
confronted with the cause of the phan-
tom visitors-Rex, in his most amiable
and complacent mood, sitting, peaceful
and majestic, on the top step, whittier
he had dragged his kennel, a feather
weight to so powerful creature, after
him. No pedestrian visitor, no card
laden delegate of carriage folk had
ventured to affront that lordly pres
ence."
