He Knew His Name.

Among the stories told from time TO
time to illustrate the intelligence of
dogs none is more charming than this
little anecdote. said to be true, of the
dog belonging to the poet Whittier:
One day when the poet was celebrat-
ing his birthday he was visited by a
woman who was fine singer. On be-
ing asked to sing this woman seated
herself at the piano and began the
beautiful song called Robin Adair."
While she was singing Mr.. Whittier's
pet dog came into the room. and, seat
ing himself by the woman's side, he
listened with unusual attention TO her
song When she had finished lie came
and put his paw very gently into her
hand and licked her cheek.
robin has taken that song as a trib'
ute TO himself said Mr.. Whittier, FOR
his name is also Robin Adair."
The dog. having heard his own name
In the song, seemed to think that it
was all for his benefit. From that mo-
ment and during all the woman's visit
he was her devoted attendant. He
kept at her side while she was indoors,
and when she went away he carried
her satchei In his mouth, with every
evidence of distress.

Then Robber Bound Her To Chair
And Went Out
LEAVING FIRE IN WASTE PAPER
Employer of Girl Returned Just in Time
to Stamp Out the Fire and Thus
Save Miss Bernhardt's Life in
New York Store.

New York, Sept. 25.-Two men enter
ed the store of the Double Claw Hammer
company, at 453 Broadway, Williams
burg, about 10 o'clock yesterday morn
hardt, stenographer and type writer,
who was alone in the Office at the time,
beat her into insensibility with a ham
mer, gagged her with her own handker-
chief, bound her to a chair and then
rihed TIE Office cash register. The half
conscious girl was found fifteen min
utes later by clerk returning from a
visit to the bank. An accurate descrip-
ton of the bold daylight robbers was
furnished by the girl and the police
hoped to effect capture before night
fall.
Miss Bernhard was alone on the sec
ond floor of the store at the time. She
told the police that she was waiting for
other members of the Office force to
come down for work, when two men en-
tered from the street. They asked to
see some hammers. Miss Bernhard
looked around for the clerk, who was
supposed to be ON duty, and not finding
him proceeded to wait on the supposed
customers herself. She took down one
box of hammers after another from the
shelves, but none of the wares displayed
seemed to suit the two men. Miss Bern
hardt finally led the way toward the
back Of the store and went to rummag
ing through the shelves for hammers of
another design. As her back was turned
in this task, one of the men seized a
hammer which had been placed out on
the showcase for inspection and dealt
her a heavy blow on the back Of the
head.
The girl dropped unconscious to the
floor and the men dragged her into the
office. which was in one corner of the
building, gagged her with her handker-
chief and then proceeded by means of
Irvine and cordage, which they found in
the office, to tie her to her chair. With
this precaution they opened the cash
drawer and rifed it of all the change.
They got about So. Evidently cha
grined at not finding more in the regis
ter. one Of the men flung open the door
OF the steel safe and proceeded to haul
out its drawers one by one. He found
no money. Papers in the safe We're scat

We're swept from the desk and their con

lighted cigarette which he had rolled |

Charles Leeman, the bookkeeper, re-
.urned few minutes later to find the
,aper ablaze. He promptly ran to the
nearest telephone and turned in fire
llarm. He then ran back into the
building, stamped out the blaze and
vent to his desk. He was just in the
