DOGS WISDOM.
Story of How Nero obeyed His nEas- ter at the Sacrifice Of
 Shirt.

5 Stories of dogs are so plentiful that one more or less doesn't seem to make much difference, and yet the cumulative evidence of canine reasoning power is piling up high. x
 Nero was St. Bernard owned by . man in Virginia One day while in the yard cleaning his gun the master told Nero to go In the house and bring him a rag. Nero bounded of, and was ob- served by a woman to be searching for something. Interested in his motions, she watched him. After looking every where h the room he went to the closet. and finding on the floor his masters shirt sniffsd at 1t, took 1t up. hesitated q moment, then evidently satisfied that ic was not "a rag laid it down and went back empty -mouthed. His mas ter reproyed him sharply and said: ''Go now and bring me ragl A

 The captain chuckleI and patiently rubbed the brass fittings of his big red automobile. He looked forward with much pleasure to the coming ten mile trip across the smooth prairie roads in the crisp winter evening, and he smiled as he thought of the discounted lieu tenant compelled to remain at the fort.
 At dusk the devil wagon careened out of the high-walled parade ground and swept down the slope to the bot tom lands that led away up the Smoky Hill to the Circle Bar ranch, where Miss Landers was waiting for her es- cort wondering all the time which of the twain would first appear. The captain, well bundled against the pierc@ ing cold, did not look to the south or he would have seen a rider on horse back mal-iro alrnost as good timt as ae, but keeping in the lee of the bluffs and SO out of sight of the casual tray. eler on the main road. This rider was dressed in cowboy garments, his wide. brimmed hat was fapning in the wind and his fringed coat caught the steam of his horses breath, which congealed into snow-like foam He took the short cut up Wild Horse canyon. around the head of oak ranch and saved a mile where a timber claim caused a wide turn in the roadway.
 But the sturdy automobile fairly ate up the road, swinging down the slopes like mad and halting neither for the hills nor culverts. Then, just as the !, Circle Bar was in sight, its twinkling lights telling of the presence of a walt ing passenger, there came sudden 'hiss!'' and the captain was awakened from his dream by a quick turn into the grass alongside the highway and a short, uncompromising stop. Noth- ing for it but the unbundling Of tools, the careful inspection of piston and igniter, the rattling of chains and the hammering of bolts
 The solitary horseman off in the dis tance kept on his way and cared not, if he knew. that the captain was swear ing at fate and his machine out there on the wind-swept hills.
 But even breaks may be repaired, and finally, with grim sentiment of revenge the captain pulled the lever out to the limit and raced on his way , toward the Circle Bar
 It was dark now and the lights in the front of the automobile were dimmed by the dust of the road; hence the ! captain did not see until he was at i the very gate ..As>st lady on horseback was approaching him. When he did see, 1t was too late. Her horse gave a great swerve and, though. avoiding

 Then came the supper and after that the Christmas tree. The officers were made happy with renembrances from the men; the men smiled at the little tokens from the officers foI. out on this frontier post had grown up 8 cameraderie between those stationed there that knew no rank or station.
 When, the tree was emptied There en- sued a hush as Miss Landers came down the center of the mess hall, her stately form held proudly erect and her eyes shining with a new light. Before the captain she curtssed with old-fashioned ceremony. Tho whole company waited to hear her words.

 There was nothing for 1t but obe- dience. and the captain gave the signal. In a moment there came an orderly with young man in cowboy suit-- Lieut. Burton and the crowd cheered as he bowed low to them all.

 The following week the red automoS bile was at Miss Landers' door and she went riding over the level plains with the captain.

But the happiness was short-liveds for, riding up by the haunted house on the crest, Of the divide a few days later, he saw two figures on horseback. one of whom was plainly Burton and the other evidently Miss Landers., After that tue contest became unfriendfy. and it was war to the knife between the rivals.
