A TEST OF COURAGE.



There were two dogs in the neighbor-
hood that had a deep and Unsuitable
antipathy TO each other. Rover, the
yellow dog, had the freedom of large
yard with a picket fence round it, and
a gate that was always kept fastened.
Prince, the brindle, roamed unchecked
in the street outside Whenever Prince
came trotting along Rover would make
a dash at the gate, and he being unable
to get out the two dogs would stand
there, one on the inside and the other
on the outside, glaring at each other
with inextingushable fury, barking,
growing and using violent language.
the purport of which was that II 1t
were not for that gate there would be
some fierce and terrible fighting.
one morning Prince came along, look
Ing more aggressive than usual. Rover
saw him. The hair along his back
bristled up. and with a savage growl
he ran down the front walk, and
charged at the gate in his customary
way. This time, however, by some I'M
accountable accident, the gate had
been left unfastened, aud the impact
threw it wide open.
For the first time in all their &C
qualntance there was naught 10 hinder
the two dogs from flying at each other.
Nothing was between them but their
long standing grudge. Rover's impetus
had carried him to the edge Of the side
walk. Prince was within two feet Of
him.
1t was an awful moment But neither
dog hesitated the smallest fraction Of a
second. They acted instantly. With a

preventing the flames from reaching it.
The fire was one of the most spcctacu-
lar that has been witnessed in Chicago
