Most Lovable Of the Four-Footed Pct
of WOmankind

Most Lovable of the Four-Footed Pets
of Womankind.
OF all the pets of womankind, babies
alone excepted, there is nothing moro
lovable than the tiny Blenheim span
lei, says an exchange. Why this breed
Of dogs has the name of the palace OF
the duke of Marlborough no one seems
to know. The story goes, however,
that the first duke had the breed and
that, on friends requesting a puppy,
he refused to part with one, but at the
same time took two or three blind
whelps and threw them to tame eagles.
But in the year 1900 his grace the
duke of Marlborough was reputed to
possess the smallest and best breed
of cookers (woodcock spaniels) in Brit
ain. They were invariably red and
white, with very long ears, short noses
and black eyes. They were evidently
the ancestors Of the present Blen-
helms, which are still bred by the keep
ers of the lodge at Blenheim and some
of the inhabitants of Woodstock. But
there is little doubt that they have
been crossed with the pug to give them
the very short snub noses which they
now possess. Moreover, the breed has
become very delicate and difficult to
rear. They suffer from brain disease
and are more likely than any other dog
to die in puppyhood. "Idstone," the
celebrated writer on dogs, remembers
the time when the Blenheims were
mainly bred in the vicinity of the pal
ace. He suggests as probably origin
of the Blenheims the Japanese toy span
iel. The surmise seems very probable.
AS it is the ambition of every English
woman to own one of these tiny .crea-
lures they will probably some day be
the rage in this country; therefore, it
is we'll to know something of their ped

He felt himself jostled and bruised,

for him a scene of perfect bliss-bliss

And as the train was speeding the
Reverend Henry Jackson and his
wife to the scene of their old-time
Arcadia, he was saying:
Bessie, dear, I'm afraid you didn't
know what weakened knight sued
for you when you set your test of
love. If you had only been willing,

"No, no, you do not realize. I was

Bessie turned suddenly toward him.

happiness to good old Mrs. Franklin.

He spoke with quiet sadness in his
voice. which meant far more to his sis
ter than the simple words he uttered.
Her eyes filed with tears; she turned
for moment from her lover and took
her brothers hand. Don't talk, Louis,
as if you thought you were going to
lose your sister, because Her lip
began to tremble, and she stopped sud

Madame Danville in her sons ear.
Hush! don't, for Gods sake, take any
notice of it, she added hurriedly, as

dame with undisguised irritation and
impatience in his manner. Before he
could speak, the old servant Guilaume
made his appearance, and announced
that coffee was ready. Madame Dan.
vile again said ''Hush!' and quickly
took one of his arms, while he offered
the other to Rose. "Charles!" said the
young girl, amazedly, "how flushed
your face is, and how your arm trem-
bles.''
He controlled himself in moment,
smiled, and said to her, "Can't you
guess why, Rose? l am thinking of
Tomorrow" While he was speaking,
he passed close by the land-steward,
on his way back to the house with the
ladies. The smile returned to Mon
sieur Lomaque's lean face, and a curl
Gus light twinkled in his red-rimmed
eyes, as he began a fresh hole in the
grass.
Wont you go indoors, and take
some coffee?" asked Trudaine, touch
ing the land-steward on the arm.
Monsieur Lomaque started little,
and left his cane sticking in the ground.

said; may be allowed to follow your"

"Ah! the beauties of nature-I feel
them with you, Monsieur Trudaine; I
feel them here" Saying this, Lomaque
laid one hand on his heart, and with
the other pulled his stick out of the
grass. He had looked as little at the
landscape or setting sun as Monsieur
Justin himself.

dropped on his breast, and the hand
which he had extended to Lomaque
trembled as he withdrew it and let it
fall at his side.
The land-steward was not man ac-
customed to hesitate, but he hesitated
now. He was not usually at loss for
phrases in which to express himself,
but he stammered at the very outset Of
his reply. Suppose I answered." he
began, slowly; suppose I told you

Trudaine looked up suddenly. II
thank you for reminding me, Monsieur
Lomaque, that it is too late now TO
make inquiries, and by consequence
too late also to trust in others My
sister has chosen; and on the subject
of that choice my lips shall be hence

are with God; whatever they may be,
hope I am strong enough to bear my
part in them with the patience and the
courage OF a man! apologize, Monsieur
Lomaque, for having thoughtlessly en-
barrassed you by questions which
had no right to ask. Let us return to
the house, will show you the way"
LomaQues lips opened, then closed
again; he bowed uneasily, and his SAL
low complexion whitened for moment.
Trudaine led the way in silence back
to the house, the land-steWard follow
ing slowly at distance of several
PAGES, and talking in whispers to him

truth, and there is no getting over it,;

kept a cup hot for you, and another

however, in common politeness, to say
something. Hardly attending himself
to his own words, he began with a
commonplace phrase-"I regret, Mon

red-rlmmed eyes were seized with a
sudden lit of winking, as he made this
polite speech. His enemies were ac-
customed to say that, whenever he was
particularly insincere, or particularly

weakness of his eyes, and so evaded the
trying ordeal of being obliged to look
steadily at the person whom he was
