Steady, boys. Don't get Aurried!' shouted
Captain Thorne. whose iron nerves were proof
against even this terrible surprise. Get I'M

The cool, firm, commanding voice seemed to
restore order as if by magic. Despite the
hideous cries of the enemy and the pelting
fire, which the echoes of the surrounding
cliffs multiplied II thousand-fold the men
buckled to their work as steadily as if on
parade.
The deadly fire of the Afghan iezais (ong
rihes) was soon answered by heavy and not
Intellectual counter-discharge, and the English
grenadiers, partly sheltered by the bouders
that strewed the ground, began to feel, now
that the first shock of the unexpected attack
had begun to pass away, kind of grim enjoy

late at night, the exercise of one of those tiny
creatures prevented hm from pursuing train
of thought on which he was intent, and when
he gave up his task and tried to sleep, an un-
defnable dread caused him to notice, for near

Whenever, in deep forest, the same gen.

can only define as presentiment of bad

The superstition that dogs give omens is
an ancient one. "Eumaran dogs" says Homer.
"could see the apparition of Pallas when Tele,
machus saw nothing"
In the sixteenth century, Jerome Cardan.
the Nlilanese physician, relates that dog
howled before his marriage, and explains thai
his guardian angel came in grief to his thresh-
old, and that the dog felt the presence of the
spirit.
In the same century, in the year 1853, a few
weeks before great mortality in Saxony the
dogs. it is said, assembled in a great troop
at Nielsen, and ran bowling and yelping dis.
mally through field and forest.

SAKE, who knew no fear in the hottest battle,

IS TROUBLE OVER GUTTER
MAYOR IN VAIN ORDERS CON
TRACTOR TO STOP WORK.
CLAIM THE FOUNDATION is SOFT
Mayor Friday Declared Today That
the Gutter on the West Side of
Fourth Street is Being Built on Sod
Says it Will be Torn Out.
IFrom Fridays Daily.J

[From Fridays Daily]
There is trouble today over the new
cement gutter which is being built
along the west side of South Fourth
street, between Norfolk and Madison
avenues. Mayor Friday declares that
the gutter is being laid on an unsound
foundation of sod along that street,
and has ordered M. Endres, the con-
tractor, to discontinue the work and
lay in solid foundation. Mr.. Endres
declares that he takes orders from the
city engineer, only, and that he would
be entitled to damages if the work
was stopped. So he kept on building
the gutter.
Mayor Friday says that the gutter
will be torn to pieces and a better
foundation put under it. He has been
informed by the engineer superintend
ing the work that, If the sod is al
lowed to remain, the gutter will sink
and crack.
