A DOG STORY.
By EDWIN A. NYR.


He was a common, "ornery" hound
dog. with stumpy tail, awkward frame
and beautiful eyes.
He lay on the pavement where the
strong wind had blown him of his
legs. Like Cassius. he had a lean and
hungry look. His paws hung Imply
over the curbing. In the language OF
the street. he was ''ali In
Some street urchins tried to stir him
up by methods known to them. The
dog looked his utter helplessness from
pathetic eyes. The boys looked at the
bony ribs showing through the muddy
white soin and from sheer pity de-
sisted.
A small crowd gathered.
Somebody got a beef sandwich and
offered it. but the stumpy tail stayed
limp and the cadaverous jaws dripped.
The sandwich was untouched.
He was too far gone to eat
The poor fellow was unable to use
his skinny legs. His fine eyes blinked
up at the muddy skies and down at
the muddy street; he laid his head on
his fore paws and shut his eyes.
He was too dirty to touch.
The crowd dribbled away. Pedes-
TRANS looked askance at the starving
hound. By and by, IL he remained
there, some scavenger would dump
him into a cart
A tramp came down the street.
The tramp was as dirty and bedrag-
gled as the dog. He looked at the
latter moment and then took him up
In his arms.
The poor beast let his head rest
shaven rescuer and gave a feeble show
of satisfaction as to his tail. And the
tramp and the dog disappeared down
the street.
Which Is true dog story.
And / thought to myself
The very poor and miserable are al
ways best helped by those who are
miserable and poor. Misery not only
love company; 1t breeds sympathy and
helpfulness.
Why do respectable, right feeling

 his accounts of s15o.ooo.
 Smith is alleged to have borrowed money
 on forged notes and other securities. pay ing interest in monthly installments as high as 70 per cent per annum. He has
 been absent from his office since Tuesday
 morning and neither his creditors nor the police have been able to locate him. Indi-
 vidual losses will run as high as s20, ,0O0 1t Is said, but the average is understood to be about s5000.
 Smiths plan of operation, it is alleged. was to borrow money on paper with bogus Inducements, agreeing to pay high in- terest and with the money thus obtained to pay interest on other paper he had
 outstanding.
 Most of this paper, 1t is declared, was of one and two years maturity and lit- tle of 1t was due at this time. Smith was the largest stockholder in the company he had organized as well as an officer in active charge of the business

New York June 15.-An automobile con-
 taining eight men pulled up in front of the Hotel Roy on West Thirty-fifth street.
 near Broadway. about o'clock this morn- ing and the men all lined up before Charles Simmons, the night clerk. Each of them had a revolver and their leader ordered the clerk to stand back while he explored the cash drawer of the open safe. There was nothing for the clerk to do and the intruder quickly scooped out s1e0 in bills. Then the men filed out, the last one covering the clerk with his revolver until all were outside.
 As soon as he was free the clerk grabbed his own gun from a drawer and fired five shots to call the police. He was so quick about it that he got response from a Broadway patrolman before the robbers could crank their automobile and get started. The patrolman captured the last two of the men and found in the pockets of them roll of bills twice the size of that which the hotel clerk had lost.

Thompson, the parents of the hostess, stood with the three girls to welcome the guests, and there was no other receiving party. DurinG<the in- termissions lees, coffee and sandwiches were served.
 Miss Thompson was gracious hostess and extremely attractive, wear ing an evening gown of pink lowered marquisette over satin. Miss Murray was much admired in blue lowered chiffon and Miss Anstice in pink chif- ion over white satin with crystal trim mings, was one of the most attractive \young women noted in the ball room
 The number in attendance at the dance included 200 of the younger dancing contingent.
