In Forbidden Places.

A very large mastiff at one end OF
leash and a very small girl at the other
end formed a combination which at
tracted the attention of a casual pedes-
TRAN In a quiet side street.
The little girl doubtless thought that
she was taking the dog out for an air.
Ing, but the big animal himself appear
ed to have the impression that he was
the leader of the expedition, and, be-
yond question, the balance Of power
was entirely on his side. He dragged
the girl along despite her scolding and
expostulations at pace which kept
her GREATNESS.
Suddenly, either from whim Of his
own or because somebody had been In
the habit Of taking him there, he dart
ed through the swinging doors Of
corner saloon. The girl looked horri-
fed; but clinging determinedly to her
end of the leash, she followed her
charge, and as the doors swung shut
behind her the casual pedestrian heard
this exasperated remonstrance:
"Oh, darnfound it! Dent you know
