Boys Narrow Escape.
The f0ur-year-old son of the agent,
well wrapped in fur, left the post house
one day to play about the door. With

protector. big mastiff that the agent
had brought from England The hus-
kies that composed the post team Of
Dledge haulers at first had attempted
to welcome the mastiff to their midst
In the very literal sense of chewing
him up; but, by dint of giving two or
three OF the pack good mauling, the
mastiff had established it, once and
for all, that he was not their meat. So
now while the little boy romped in
the snow the huskies skulked about at
safe distance. From out of the win
dow the child's mother glanced occa--
sionally to see that all was WELL
Suddenly there was a commotion
that sent the mother to the door in 4
frenzy Of fear. One piercing scream
had come from the child. to be sue

mother was appalling. Her boy was

while the big mastih CALAMITY fought
to save his young charge from their
dripping fahgs. The child, 1t was later
learned, had fallen on a patch of ice
and the huskies, ever on the alert for
an advantage to attack, had set upon
him in an instant. The big nastiR
sprang Immediately to the rescue.
Their lust for human flesh had over
csne the huskies' fear Of the mastiR:
but while he could not save his charge
from being shockingiy bitten, his
heroic onslaught upon the pack Of
maddened brutes prevented them from
tearing the boy to pieces on the spot
and thus enabled the mother to reach
her child before It was toe late.
