Modern Dogs of Var.

TIL. German Army. fighting in Her

ploys corps of 200 dogs. One of these
dogs was recently struck and wounded
by Il bullet in the engagement of Opa-
jbo. willie scouting in front of the
skirmiShing line. He displayed the
greatest fearlcsSness under fire and
worked faultlessly until disabled.
The japanese are using Il number of
dogs for accommodating purposes. They
are attached TO long ropes and well
trained. The Russians are employing
dogs for sentry and messenger work.
Capt. Pcrsidsky of the late Count

says: "In finding the wounded men
with which the millet fields are strewn
nothing has succeeded like our seven
dogs; their Intelligence, especially the
English bred ones, is extraordinary.

HOW DAN KENT MISSED HIS
THANKSGIVING BANQUET.

but he let 4 lot of sentiment into It.
Sentimental passages never look right
to sensible girl who reads them in a
letter from man she has never seen.
Besides, Dan wasn't exactly master
OF rhetoric at that time, and what he
wrote could have been cOuched i'll terms
of infinitely greater tact and delicacy
by any second rate romance writer.
His first faux pas, however, was in in
closing Il post-ollice order for $50, "a
loan. of COURSE" he w".tr. which /
trust you will accept until such time,
&c.
1t was awful, of course, but Dan was
young and he meant to do a kind Office
to the orphan girl in Oldsburg. When
he mailed the letter it dawned upon
him that he had made an ass of HIM
self. The more lie conucd over the
sentences Which lie had meant to be
the finest, the surcr he was that they
were coarse, impcrtincnt, idiotic. She
would be offended ut his tone, insulted
at his offer to loan her money. Il
feel that there is bond of sympathy
between US" etc, had been the best he
could think of as IAN approach" to the
mention of a loan, but low it sounded
ineXpressibly silly.
He got her answer by return mail
and when lie tore open the envelope the
$50 fell on the floor. ''Scrvcs me
right" he gasped, but his eyes began to
bulge when he saw the first line Of
the letter itself:
"Dear.dear friend" it began. Sad,
sad, indeed must that heart be which
cannot be chccred by the sweet deli
cacy and soulful sympathy OF friend
like you. O, how my lonesome heart
goes out responsive, and yet"
"SluSh. -
That's what Dan said. He could
hardly force hims II to read it. If his
letter had been badly framed, hers was
the dregs of gush. A Wild hope that
Kate Colvin hadn't written it seized
him, but the narroWest comparison
showed it to be her handwriting
There was nothing absolutely immoI-
est i'll her hysterical cpistle, but it fair
ly oozed sentimcntality, which Dan
was sure he would always despiSe in a
woman.
Glad to get back my fifty, anyhow"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-09-30

The Kents-father and son-came to
Chicago when Dan was Il small boy,
so that the latter soon forgot about all
lie knew of Oldsburg and its people. If
he had been older he might have been
gladder to forget it, for there misfor-
tune had ovCrtalicn his family, his
mother had died, and his vague recol-
lection of the place pictured the one
long, dismal street down which he rode
in Il carriage to the cemetery, where
the autumn leaves reelled in Il cold rain
and the clay falling into grave sound
ed like the thump of his old toy drum.
Dan Kent, having Il merry heart,
didn't want to cherish any such dreary
memories. So he had grown to man
hood without revisiting the home of his
infancy. Not so his father. The old
man managed to stay away from the
scene of his disaster till Joshua Colvin
died. Then he went to the funeral of
rs old friend and partner, and ever
after, ~ to the time Of lis DEATH main
t&iHCa g L..'.L-. ri,,ttGi visits to tic
ga lone town. Dan thought this odd
,....; t.,I !.a began to suspect that
there was some old, long buried ro-
nance between his father and the
widow COlvin.
You're right, Dam" said the old
man. when his son twittcd him about
the Oldsburg visits. I'D marry her
now if l wasn't so old and poor, and if
you take my advice you'll go after her
daughter, Kate"
They were like brothers in their
frank and loving relationship in those
days, and Dan, who liked to banter
his father, was almost glad to have
something on the old man. But when
the elder Kent grew feeble he talked
always more and more of the COlvins.
If they were a joke with Dan, they
were not 50 with his father.
Il wish you'd go up and see them"
70 would say. II can't any more, and
DAM wish you'd see Kate-young
Kate. Bet you'd fall in love with her
in spite of yourself. l wish you would
and marry her.
And few days before he died:
Dan, if anything happens to Kate
or her mother. will YOU do what you
can for them? Promise. Dan. You'll
write to them, anyhow"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-09-30

When his father died. Dan grieyed
like a man, and regaincd his spirits like
the wholesome, cluan-hcurted youth he
was: but he forgot about the COlylnS
after he had answered the widows let
ter of coincidence. He remembered
them again when he saw i'll the Odds
burg Banner the obituary of Mrs. Kate
Niebling Colvin. lie ought to have
gone to Oldsburg TO comfort the orphan
girl, but he Gisliked funerals and he
couldn't get over his gloomy impression
of the old town. so he wrote letter
to Kate, as lie had promised his
father, sending such words of comfort
as Il stranger must, but Offering to be
of any assistance i'll his power. lie
scarcely expected a reply, but lie got
one within a week.
1t was a stilted, studied letter. She
was grateful for kind words from the
son of her mothers kind friend. She
would do quite WELL she thought, when
she got back to her work as a school
teacher. Her work might help her to
forget. 1t was a dismal lctter-just
like Oldsburg, he thought-and he did
not answer it. A month later he got
another from her. Would he kindly
buy for her kinyon's pedagogical chart!
1t would cost about 81, which she in
closed. Il will be ever so much
obliged" she concluded. He found the
chart, which cost So, and sent her Il
note in which he said he was glad to
be of service. He didn't mention that
he was loser by 50 in the transaction.
Within fortnight another letter
came to him from Kate Colvin, i'll
which she said that she had just
learned the chart had cost So, perhaps
more, and that she would return the
balance the moment her salary was
paid. They are i'll arrears with me fol
the last two months" the latter said
but l am sure they will pay US before
Christmas"
To Dan Kent there was something
poignantly sad in the plain, simple, bu
accomplishing statement of the coun
try school teachers poverty. Two dol
laps He was making money ant
spending it as lavishly as self-re
specthg young man could. Evidently
poor Kate Colvin could not spare $.
from a scanty hoard that might not bt
replenished at once. He was a gen
erous, tender fellow, and, somehow
that bald, almost childliie confession
of q girls lonely struggle for the bene
fits which he won so easily and regard
ed SO lightly, gave sharp sting to hi
gentle spirit and clouded his radian
face.
Then he made a natural but mos
egregious mistake. He wanted to writ

just beginning TO cloy.
AS he grew serious he reflected up
on the folly-"folly? Perhaps it was
mean Of me- he thought, and this last
idea held him so that he went home
and wrote an honest, manly letter t.
t!n girl. in which he strOye to eXoner-
ate himself. He knew she would for
give hiu for returning her photograph,
he said, and for asking her to forget
the whole episode, which, lie hoped,
had given her us much harmless merri-
ment as it had given him. The tone Of
this letter was so modest, so sensible
so scig-GopreCating, and so completely
disllusioning that Dan thought as he
dropped it in the mail box:
"Ddl would lave liked that letter. !
