the dog lay perfectly still with his
head on his masters knee. For weeks
he had TO he lifted and carried in and
out like an invalid child, Sometimes
the pain of moving was eXcruciating,
but he only turned his sad eyes to his
master, and his master would say;
Yes, Hugh, I'll be as easy as | can"
This thing happened in the spring,
and when the fall shooting was on
Hugh was in fairly good shape again.
Always, when he was going out on
the morrow the Doctor would take his
traps and put them in the summer
kitchen, near where Hugh slept. Al
ways in the early dawn, little earlier
than he was wont TO rise, the Doctor
would wake 10 find Hugh standing by
his bed II he seemed to want TO
snooze, the dog would pick up shoe
or stocking and put 1t up into the bed
by his master. Then the man would
jump up and hug and wrestle the dog
about, and the dog would break away
and hurry down TO the summer kitch-
en- where the shooting-traps were. To
see them in the field you could not say
which was the happier, the man or
the dog; but | think 1t was the dog,
for man so gentle could not kill birds
without some faint feeling of regret
at seeing them reel and fall their
| beautiful wings crushed and broken,
and the red blood dripping from their
open mouths. The dog, of course,
could not know. Men are hard to un.
| derstand women are worse, but dogs
are easy, II you ask this good man
how he can take money for light, air,
aqua-pura, he will probably answer:
"rhat pale person paid a dollar for
the prescription. II refuse to fll It,
make an enemy of her and insult
her physician. If fail to charge the
two bits, she will conclude at once
that the medicine is no good, in which
case 1t would be no good. Moreover,
| know her doctor, and know that he
is giving what is best for the patient.
VOLTA"
| They had fair days sport that
day, but the doctor thought the old
dog was good deal slower than he
used to be, and concluded by the time
he had reached home that he would
get young dog and train him up with
Hugh, so that in case of an accident
he would not be without dog.
When he brought the pup home he
introduced him to Hugh and ex
planned to his wife that Hugh was get
ting old, and that he must train the
young fellow against that time Hugh
would go on the retired list.
Hugh won't like that" said the
wife.
"oh, yes, he will. the pupil be com
pany for him"

stepping over to the door he turned
the lock and thrust the key into his
pocket.
Now" he continued turning to Fitz-
gerald, "you shall not leave this room
until we have come to an understand
ing"
Fitzgerald slapped his gloves care
lessly across his left palm. What
sort of game is this you are up to-"
he demanded, quietly.
'"It is not game OF any kind" re-
piled the other; "it is a mere matter
of our coming to an understanding"
'"Well, and what do you mean?"
Fitzgerald struck a match and pro
ceeded to light a cigarette.
Simply this-I shall speak plainly
and to the point: 1t has come to my
knowledge that you are endeavoring
to win the affections of the woman

whose affections I consider | have GER
tain right as an admirer-as her
avowed suitor, TO speak candidly, You
are interfering with what deem TO be

Fitzgerald, directing puff of smoke

"Then you mean to say that you

"Everything."

The Sorrow
of a Setter
BY Cy Barran

Copyright, by ]. B. Lippincott Coz
It has always seemed to me that
my friend the Doctor was a good deal
to blame for this trouble, for unless
you knew the exact year of his birth
you would not know that Hugh was
an old dog.
Perhaps he did move a bit slower
than he did some years ago. SO does
my friend, but he keeps his seat on
the school board, goes to his drug
store a few hours every day, fishes
and follows the hounds--for he Is a
mighty hunter, afoot or on horseback.
OF an afternoon when he came up the
avenue and turned into his home
street the dog would go to meet him
at the corner, taking a stick, a stone,
leaf, and sometimes only a straw,
Tor that was his way Of saying "Wel-
comet Always the kind-hearted man
bent and took the peace'offering,
spoke gently, and gave the dog a
friendly pat. Being childless, all his
surplus love was layished on the beau
tiful old Irish setter. and the setter
gave such constant, faithful, unques-
tioning love as only dog can give. 1t
was love, too, that comes only TO
men that are gentle and honest as
children. In the nine happy years
that they had lived together the Doc
tor and the dog came to understand
each other. for Hugh, in addition to
being honest and faithful, was one
of the most intelligent animals that
has ever lived and loved
Once, when youth and a young
woman were walking by, snappy lit
tie water spaniel ran out opposite
Hughs home, annoyed the youth. and
then darted away The young man
had picked up stone, and now, see
ing the saucy spaniel disappearing
/ turned and fred the stone at Hugh
simply because he was a dog, and poor
old Hugh's left hind leg was shat
tered. Dir. N. came and put the broker
limb in plaster Of paris. During the
