and they fish up from beneath the

sounds as if it contained gold When
forced open the box is found to con-
tain gold pieces and valuable pearl

THAT WON VERDICT

! fish friend that man can have in this
selfish world. the one that never de-

Gentlemen of the jury, a mans
dog stands by him in prosperity. in
health and in sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground, where the wintry
winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely, if only he may be near his
masters side. He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer, he will lick
the wounds and sores that come in
encounter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he were a prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is as
constant in his love as the sun on its
journey through the heavens
Ii fortune drives the master forth

no higher privilege than that of ac-
companying him to guard against
danger. to fight against his enemies,
and when the last scene of all comes,
and death takes the master in its en-

graveside will the noble dog be found
