large-bladed knife and sinking to his knees leaned over the prostrate Irishman with weapon raised. intend. ing to stab him. Burke, recovering his scattered wits somewhat, saw flash of the knife in the glare of the smoky oil lamp and reaching up seized his would-be murderer by the wrist and held him. But Burke was weak from the tap on the head and he felt his fingers losing their grip as the cursing Swede struggled to release his wrist.
 The barman had about given him. self up for lost when happy thought struck him. Barney was behind the counter guarding the cash drawer and the Irishman appreciated that if the jackal knew of his masters plight he would fly to the rescue. Just when about to lose his grip on the Swede's wrist entirely Burke called at the top of his voice. Come. Barney, quick, boy, catch him" The jackal speedily answered the summons, came from behind the counter and taking in the situation at glance sprang upon the Swede who held the knife with the force of catapult.
 Barney knew how 10 gauge distance and striking the sailor on the shoulder with his big forepaws turned him completely over on his side and bit and tore madly at the fellows throat That Swede. sobered by the attack. tried to fight off his assailant. but he had dropped his knife in his fall and. powerless to defend himself against the great beast. he screamed loudly for help.
 Burke had in the meantime re- gained his feet and as the assistant barkeeper. who had been eating his supper in the rear of the house and had been attracted to the saloon by the sound of the frsy. was pitching the last of the first three Swedes into the street. the Irishmsn ran over 10 Barney and throwing his arms about the iackars neck dragged him by sheer force from the fourth sailor. who would have been killed other wise. As it was the sailor vas 90 badly hurt that he had ,o remain three weeks In the hospital and the scars on his neck left by the jaekaTs fangs he must have carried 10 his grave.
 Barney lived long time and when he died his grateful master buried him under a magnolia tree Ia his back yard. built a Et,le mound of earth over the grave and placed wooden board al the head bearing the iackaFs name and age.

New Orleans.-Of all the wild ami mals that roam the jungles and plains of the tropical old world none is so easily tanned and so readily reduced to that state of docility where he will live in daily associations with man as the jackal. and the story that George lCaxton. employe of the docks, at Port Chalmette. tells serves to bear out this claim in a manner most positive.
 Caxton, who is man well on in years. remembers the time when New Orleans was hardly half the size it is now. and in that distant day he worked on the levee as a 5tevedore. contracting for the loading of the clipper ships that at all times lined the wharves.
 Long before the war an Irishman named Burke. as Caxton tells the story. kept sail or boarding house and saloon in Tchoupitoulas street be-

 Mackenzie has . soft voice. . re fined face, and delicate features. and was neatly dressed in male attire. Asked how she escaped detection 90 long, she replied that she always lived quietly in her own house with her wife and did her duty by her em- ployers so that no one meddled with her. She owes rent and fears evic. tion. her beloved image being her last resource.
 She was speechless with gratitude for a small gift of money and then turned in an ecstasy of thanks to the image.

 Burke took to his pet from the first and would not have exchanged him for the finest and rarest dog on earth. The little beast was playful as a kit ten. stood for all kinds of fondling and as he grew older he learned many funny tricks such as are taught to dogs.
 Burke named the jackal Barney and the animal developing into a fine specimen of his class, as large as a full-grown sheep dog, with grayish coat. white breast, broad head, straight ears and bushy tail. he be- came the pride of the Irish barman's heart.
 ' An English captain up on natural history who sometimes visited Burke in search of sailors when shorthanded gave the saloonkeeper all the dope on the jackai species, genus. habits. etc. and told him how in India the animals were often used by the Eng. fish residents as watch dogs. and 1t was Burke's delight when he had the time for it to train Barney in the art of watching and guarding.
 The jackal being even more dog than his close relative. the wolf. is. was an apt pupil and soon learned to crouch behind the counter when the saloon was full of drunken sailors and tough longshoremen and play guar. dian over the drawer where the money was kept. If any stranger dared approach the drawer Barney would arise from his crouching atti- tude. lower his head and snarl furi. ously. It's needless to say no attempt at burglary was made on that cash box.
 Barney one night was the means of saving the life of his master and Cax- ton never tires telling Of the. thrilling incident. On the night in question four sailors from a Swedish marque were at the counter drinking and as the men had been imbibing all day they were in sa advanced state of in- toxication and nlanifesting an ugly temper. After taking several rounds of cheap whisky they refused 10 pay for the last set of drinks and when Burke insisted on getting what be- Ionzed him one of the Svedes struck him a gIaucinz biow with his first and knocked his cap of.
