The boys paid no further attention to her,
but, having bound their helpless captive sc,
eurely to the pole, made approaches toward
him with knife Mrs. Prngle sprang from
the phaeton with flashing eyes and used her
whip with such energy upon the little rascals
that they scampered out of sight in short
order, and then she gave herself to the task
of freeing the dog, finding it no easy mat
ter.
She pulled and tugged at the strings, some
of which were cruelty tight, but she had no
knife with her, and found herself Obliged to
go through the slow process of untying num-
seeming fully to realize that he was now
under kindly hands, giving only. pitiful howl
when she could not help hurting him.
A pretty little black and, tan he was, and,
as he licked her hands and looked gratefully
into her face with his bright eyes, she could
not help thinking how he would have delight
ed the souls of Tom and Archie.
'It's takin' the tin cints we'll be-" said
one of the young imps, venturing near, the
whole party having been watching from safe

cally. "And if you touch the dog again I'll
send policeman after you"
And for fear of his falling into their hands,
she carried him to the phaeton and put him in,
much wondering what Mr.. Pringle, or. Tom
and Archie, OF Bridget, would say or think, if
they could see her.
After driving for half a. mile, she put
follow close behind her as she went on. She
stopped and tried to drive him back, but he
only wagged his tail impressively and gazed up
at her with eyes of very earnest appeal.
She shook the whip at him, when he ran
back few steps, turned and wagged and gaz-
ed again. She drove on, and he followed
Again she threatened him, and again he ran
back and again returned, and so on until she
reached Main street.
He followed her in and out of every store,
in spite of all her efforts to lose him, and
when she at last turned homeward, trotted af-
ter her as if it had been his won't for years.
Much perplexed as 10 what she should do
with him, she was just determining in her
own mind that something must be done be-
fore she reached home, when she caught sight
of his young tormentors peepng around cor
ner. And then the something she did was
to take him in with her.
He settled himself at her feet, looking up
at her with an "of course" expression as If

owning to herself that she did like him
little, and wishing it would do to take him
home with her, as some other person might
have done. But it was not to be thought Of
She only desired to protect the poor little
creature; SO she covered him with the robe
and drove around to the carriage house, where
she shut him up in a loft which was seldom

Tom and Archie again have said if they could
have seen her, after dark that evening, stealing
out with food for dog?
He was so delighted to see her that she
at her feet after dancing around her.
She gave him a good supper, carried him
to the gate, and put him out. But he was
over the low fence. and at her heels in a
moment, following her to the door OF the
house.
More than once she tried to escape from
him, until the footsteps on the gravel walk
brought Mr.. Pringle to the door with a:
"Who's there?'
Upon which she seized the dog and ran
with him to his hiding place,
Early in the morning she gave him into
the hands of the mikman, making him prom
ise he would treat him kindly, but carry him
away as far as his route led him. But he had
sprung to the ground, and was back in the
place where he had been petted and fed, be-
'What's going on in the carriage house?"
said Tom to Archie, as they were at play the
same morning.
''No-like whining"
"No-like a bowling"
''What If he should hurt us?"
"Pshaw! / amt afraid"
Tom bravely opened the door.
"0h the dear little doggiei"
'What a cunning little fellow! Here, dog

is"
''Wonder how he came here? Don't you

think we'd have the hyder-something or 9th

Tom gave him a cracker, and in five min
utes boys and dog were having jolly play,
"1ts a dhreadful scurryin' about's out
there" said Bridget, as the noise reached the
kitchen, and she detected sounds which were
forbidden on the place.
"Bndget's coming!" cried Archie, in dis
"Let's run! And let's hide the dog, or
she'll 'murther' him. That's what she says
she'll do to dogs"
They tried to catch him, but he escaped

see Bridget's horror at sight of the deteSted
animal.

three brothers who were fond oil
dogs. and her first recollections were OF
screaming in a spasm Of mingled fear and grief
when the young puppies would try their teeth
on her very best waxen-faced, curly-haired
doll
As years passed on, she had endured more
than could be told, in the way of schoolbooks
torn in pieces, overshoes, scarfs, gloves and
even hats, carried away and ruined.
No wonder Mrs. Pringle had looked forward
to her own home as blessed refuge which
dogs should never invade.
Mr.. Pringle, unfortunately, liked dog, and
had had dreams of the time when he, as the
head of family, should take walks with
them on Sunday afternoon, with his dog and
a cane.
They lived in the suburbs of "a town, and
the long walks into the fields and woods with
family and cane had come to be reality, but
no dog rushed backward and forward, wag-
ging his tail, running after a squirrel or pok
ing his nose into woodchuck's hole, and
scratching away with all his might, for Mr..
Pringle, like wise man, had long ago dis
covered that, in making up the grand total
Of family harmony, trihes must be yielded on
both sides.
Tom and Archie Pringle dotted on dogs. If
they saw big, curly, burly, generous-looking
old fellow, their very hearts went out in long
ing to have a roughand-tumble frolic with
him, or if they saw lively little barker, all
tricks and play, they could hardly resist hug
ging him lovingly in their arms; but Mrs
Pringle was now more rooted in her preiu-
dices against the whole race than ever
"For," said she to Mr.. Pringle, "think of
exposing these dear boys of ours to the dan
gers of hydrophobia To be sure, none of
our dogs at home ever went mad, but every
body knows that dogs do go mad, and, if there
is only one chance in million, we don't want
to take that chance"
And, of course, Mr.. Pringle agreed that
they did not, and Tom and Archie, dutiful
little souls, who know that their mother was
the best mother in the world, and that all
she said must be right, contented themselves
with patting other boys dogs, and hoping
they never would go mad and bite the other
boys.
Bridget despised dogs. She had lived in
place where they drank up the cream and car
Tied away the meat and barked at kitchen
company. Ii any dog, drawn by the attraction
which always exists between their kind and
bright-faced boys, ventured upon the premises,
her broomstick and her loud voice soon gave
him to understand that four-footed visitors
were not wanted.
Mrs Pringle was driving toward town alone
in her phaeton one summer morning, when
boys, gathered around telegraph pole, near
from which issued the piercing walls and
howls Of dog, She stopped and inquired:
Pat Murphy. Yis, indade, he does, 'ml'
'What are you doing to him?"
'Its jist tyin' him we're afther, fer to be
clippin' his ears, to make the iligant, gamy
dorg of him intireliy." -

indignation. !. ''NoW, boys, I'll give you ten

Ellis Jones place was a scene
of great excitement last Sunday
in the form of a game of base
ball, played between the mar
ried and single men, the single
ties, the better bunch, being vic
torious by the close score of
seven to eight. The batteries for
the married men were Homer
Jones and Carl Jones, and for
the singleites, Il. Doty and Her
man Jones.
The game was doubtful until
the winning run was brought in
on the last ball of the ninth in
ming.
The married men were the
remnants of the Willow Valley
nine OF four years ago, and the
singleites were composed of all
the young bucks of the vicinity
with the exception of the fast
and famous Hugh Cook, who
played End base. He took part
in two double plays, one unas-
sisted. He was the whole game.

Dealt, by Drowning.
Claude Clemmer, son of Rev.
w. B. Clemmer, pastor of the
First Christian church in Coun-
Gil Bluffs, was drowned late
yesterday afternoon at Mobiles
lake, eight miles southwest of
this city.
He was 18 years of age, a
senior in the Council Bluffs
high school and an athlete of
more than ordinary ability,
taking first place in the half
mile run at the state high
school field meet last May.
Rev. and Mrs. Clemmer, pa
rents of the young man whose
promising career has been
brought to such ain untimely
end, are at Sterling, Col, where
Rev. Mr.. Clemmer has been
engaged since the first of
August in conducting a big re-
vival. Claud was to have
started Thursday to join them
at that place.
AS Claude Clemmer wasquite
a strong swimmer it is supposed
that he was taken with cramps.
That is the opinion of those
who saw his last brief struggle
/ in the water.
CAMPING AT THE LAKE.
He had been visiting at the
A. a. Bird home, six miles
south of Missouri Valley. and
the family was taking an out
ing at Mobiles lake, where they
had gone into camp. Two
young men in the party were
we'll out in the lake i'm a row
boat when they saw Clemmer
swimming towards them.
While still some distance
from the boat he showed evil
dence of being in trouble, com
menced to struggle wildly and
soon sank beneath the water
Those in the boat headed to his
assistance at the first sign OF
danger but were too late.
A call was Immediately made
for Bert Fackler, who is in
charge of the resort and who is
an expert diver. He spent
about fifteen minutes in the
search and finally brought the
body to the surface. Efforts al
resuscitation failed to produce
any signs of life.
While the search for the body
, was still in progreas a tele
phone call was sent to this city
and Drs. Boughton and Nc
Gavren responded. When they
reached the scene brief ex

young man was beyond the
reach of medical assistance.

fun of everything and every
