A Canine Marvel.

A contemporary relates an extraor-
binary story of the strength of a dogs
jaws, which, as 1t is given with full
details. we accept In good faith. The
strength of a dogs jaws and teeth
were never more exemplifed than in
the case of a Ross-shire gamekeeper,
whose collie was unfortunate enough
to be caught in a steel vermin trap.
The gamekeeper, gun In hand, was
soon on the scene, but in the short
slime the dog had become quite .nfuri-
ated with pain. Having nothing suit
able for muzzling the animal and fear
ing to place his foot upon the trap
spring with the dogs jaws free, the
gamekeeper placed the gun barrels in
the dogs mouth and held them there
while easing the spring. With a vi
cious snap the teeth closed ON the cold
steel ere he regained his freedom. The
barrels, which are of steel, were holed
through-an almost incredible perform
ance-and were examined shortly after.

"HE laWyer7a dry little man-Said
1t was the strangest will he had
ever helped to draw up. He felt
he owed an apology to the reia-
tives Of the deceased for its peculiar
phraseology. But they must please un-
derstand that he was not to blame
the terms to appear in the ordinary
legal forms. He had argued, got angr
even, but In vain. The stubborn old
gentleman insisted on wording the
will in his own way.
The deceased mans nearest relative
was old Tom Gaynor, who, it was
said, fully expected to come In for the
bulk of the hoard. A proud, hard man
was Tom, wealthy as wealth goes In
rural Ireland, but as grasping of the
penny as If he had nothing. The pride
born of his wealth was shown In the
way he treated suitors for the hand of
his pretty daughter, Kitty. Decent.
well to do farmers came seeking her,
but old Tom would have none of them.
1t vas said he was waiting till the
possession of Rooney's money brought
some of the big graziers of the neigh
borhood to his door, hat in hand, look
ing for Kitty.
Pretty Kitty, however, had already
made her own choice, which by a GER
tain lovable perversity was none other
than Frank Murtagh, the very poorest
of her suitors, himself also a relative
of John Rooney. When his parents

the two men had failed to hit 1t off
together in later years. Frank was a
merry, light hearted blade, and it was
a matter of popular conjecture that his
easy going ways had alienated what
eve affection old Rooney may have
entertained for hin originally, and in
the scale Of expectations he was put
down at a very low altitude.
But all suspense on this important
matter would soon be at an end, for
the lawyer, having cleared his throat,
now commenced to read the will:
81. John Rooney, sound of mind, do
herewith make this my last will and
testament. To that sorra-may-care

All eyes were turned on Tom, who,
strange to say, took his treatment
with perfect composure, except for a
slight flush at the testator's personal
reference. The lawyer gave a discreet
cough and went on:

the three who had been very lonely in
the big house since Mrs. Lynwood had
answered the call of the great beyond.
So, with an a~ffectionate pat on the
back and a brisk "Never mind, old
fellow" Arthur watched Dick turn
into the schoolyard.
Dick swung around suddenly after
Arthur and tugged at his coat sleeve.
Don't worry until l see what l can
do for you," he commanded, then turn
ed and sped back as the last bell was
ringing.
The promise cheered Arthur oddly.
Dick was fertile In invention and
could be trusted to bring about ven
this coveted acquaintance If 1t could
possibly be done.
The Shelbys had kept very much to
themselves since they had come to
town. Inquirlng busybodies had been
told by the maid that Mrs. Shelby was
too i'll to receive callers as yet.
She begged to be excused for a few
weeks more, and the girl-Arthur had
discovered that her name was Irma-
had shared her mothers seclusion.
Despite his confidence In Dick, Ar
thur was rather surprised that even

promised Arthur, but just Is he gave
the assurance Dick came tearing out
Of the Lynwood house, and Arthur
called him across the street.
He came promptly, for Dick was not
a boy to shirk responsibilities. He re-
garded Irma with mild amusement as
Arthur repeated her statement.
"He started it," insisted Dick stoutly.
II guess no fellows going to hear his
brother called names. Your brother
said mine was a dude and a pretty
boy, and Art amt that. It's different

"Never mind that" ordered Arthur
hastily. "That is no excuse for you to
hit him."

Dick. HE called you a big stiff and
said that If you had any get up and

ould lad buried it."
Forgetting the terms of the will that
warned him under penalties off the
land, he crossed the gate. Frank, how
ever, had perceived the movement
from the kitchen window and, mind
full of his testamentary obligations,
snatched up the bamboo stick and
charged down upon Tom. who there
upon regained the right side of the
gate with alacrity. Frank was full of
apologies for the harsh duty that had
been imposed on him, but Tom made
light of the matter, merely turning 1t
to account to say a few indulgently
sarcastic remarks about the queer, &C.
centric nature of old John Rooney. All
the time his eye glittered on the hill
lock.
Now, though the hiding place Of the
treasure was known to Tom, there
was one great difficulty still in the
way of its acquisition. To enter a
mans field and take something out of

Arthur Lynwood looked longingly
after Irma Shelby, and Dick. his small
brother, glanced up shrewdly into his
clean cut face.
"Mushy," he said shrewdly, "why
don't you marry herr"
"You scamp!" began Arthur. Then
he paused. Dick was only twelve, but
more than nee the busy little brain
under the thatch of red hair had helped
the big brother through a tightplace.
II wish l knew her, old chap" he
went on in a different voice. "Im not

self on her, and when we have no wo-

The realization of this project was
made easy by the appearance that
evening of Frank Murtagh, bent on
asking Tom to give him Kitty. When
they were wrapped in the secrecy of
the parlor Tom craftily introduced his
scheme. He was aware of Franks
circumstances, he went on to say, and
how small was the amount of ready
money old John Rooney had left him
to carry on the work of the farm.
Knowing this, he felt certain he would
not be able to sleep o. nights if
Franks position was not made easier.
He had thought the matter over and
evolved a very good idea. 1t was to
buy the far field of ~Frank-yes, eel
at the prohibitive price old Rooney
had put upon it.
Frank, sorely in need of money, met
the offer with mingled wonder and de-
light.
When the matter was arranged
Frank took occasion to venture his
proposal for Kitty. Toms good hui
NOR at once evaporated. He shook
Ills uedu severely.
Don't let that idea into your head
my boy,'' said he. ''Ye're no match
for her. IT'S one of them big graziers
Kitty will be getting. No, no; thry
somewhere else" Then, anxious to
avoid offending Frank, he added in q
softer tone: Eye see, Kitty's only a
young girl yet. She won't be on for
marrying these years. An, sure, haven't
you time enough yourself too? Musha,
what hurry's on ye to get yerself
spanchelled? Mebbe in a year or two
yen be betther off thar We are now.
Then come to me an We'll talk about
Kitty"
The day he entered into possession
of the field was a great day for Tom.
When all were abed that night he tool
q spade from the stable and cautiously
made his way to the hillock where he
had seen old John Rooney burying the
iron pot. Feeling round the brow of
the hill, he found the loose scraws of
earth and knew that the treasure
could not be more than two feet away
from him. Selling his spade. he com
menced e~xcavating with feverish ca
gerness. In a very short time-two
minutes perhaps-the spade struck
metal. Bending. he CROPPED for the
handle of the pot and, selling it. drag
ged the vessel out of the hole. The
mouth of the pot was merely covered
with rough sacking, but with admira-
BILE self restraint Tom determined to
refrain from making acquaintance
with the contents till he had reached
the friendly haven of his own kitchen.
With a cool deliberation, remarkable
when the occasion is considered, Tom
lit a lamp when he had placed the pot
on the floor. Then he bent down and
with just a slight trembling of the fin
gers proceeded to unite the rope that
bound the sacking. The knot was pres
emily loosened; 1t fell away. off came
the sacking. and Toms eyes glared
~vacantly at-stones.

tered hoarsely.

do you understand that you will be

ously.
"In lick him If he talks about you,"

proceeded to address his remarks to
Miss Shelby.

praise and its suggestion, but she
smiled into the freckled face before
she turned to Arthur.

and Arthur was too eager for an an
swer to observe the elaborate wink
with which Dick favored him.
The girl gave assent promptly, and
the big and the little brother bowed.
Dick hung back at the Lynwood gate.

He dashed. off down the street and
by a circuitous route reached the rear
of the Shelby house, where the plump
and somewhat cherubic Robert was
playing by himself.
He started to run when Dick APP
peared on the scene, but the more
active lad had his victim pinioned by
the arms, while one mittened hand
was clapped over the squirming one's
