ALWAYS MANS BEST FRIEND
Dog Every Ready to Respond to the
Mood, Pleasant or Otherwise, Of
Master He Loves.

Fisher Ames, not the Revolutionary
hero, but one of his descendants. once
remarked that dog is better friend
than a human being. For" said he,
the dog will be at your feet, ready
at any moment to respond to your
mood, while human being will 90 off
in a hun IL you do not respond to his
mood"
Ames bred Airedale ferries and ex-
hibited them in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, until he won a cham
pionship for one of them. and then he
lost interest in the subject His mood
for dogs passed. but whenever 1t re-
turned the dog responded as though
he had not neglected them for other
amusements.
The Eskimo5 have put Ames' re.
mark into a proverb based on long
experience in the Arctic wilds. They
say that "a mans best friend is his
dog. even better than his wife" The
Brahmin blood OF New England and
the blubber.eating seal hunter Of the
North react In the same way when
brought up against the facts of life.
Men seem to be the same In all
climates, and we have the authority
OF the Spaniards for saying that dogs
are the same also, for their proverb-
makers have concluded that dogs
have teeth in all countries"

The lay Of the land was peculiar in
this direction. Johnson had descended
to the trail that ran along the South
Fork valley. The ridge grew steadily
higher, the Overhanging banks were
covered with brush. Johnson could
follow Dufour, beneath him, perhaps
three hundred feet beneath him, for
two days, keeping him plainly in
sight, and yet avoiding discovery.
In his bitterness he gave way to an
impulse springing up in his heart
against his will. He had loved Marie
ever since she was child. Dufour
had stolen her. He would kill Dufour.
None would ever know of the tragedy
in this desolate region. In q year or
two, when Dufour's death had come to
be accepted, he would go back to
Marie.

whelmed his resolution. Burning with
hatred for this man who had sup
planted him, johnson rode cautiously
along the level beneath.
For a whole day he followed him.
He had imagined that his enemy would
start on the next day at sunrise. But
when he awakened and crept stealthily
toward Dufour's camp he found the
, fire low and Dufour gone.
He saddled his horse hastily and fol-
lowed him. But soon the snow began
! to fall, and the mans trail became OBJ

packhorse; hoofs and footprints alike
became hidden under the soft down
fall!
Johnson pressed on resolutely. The
snowfall became heavier At last he
was forced to halt He dug a shelter
in the hard accumulation of the winter
and crept inside, leaving his horse,

lection of the bank.

the night that he started up. He
looked out The snow had ceased and
the stars shone brilliantly Johnson
fancied that he had heard a cry.
He listened, and now there was no
doubt of it. A man was crying at the
bottom of the valley. Mingled with his
cry came a furious snarl which mad

the horse as well.

Last week Miss Sweeney wrote to
Mayor Price of Wilmington beseech-

address as Concord. Del. Concord is
situated about miles east of here
and the notoriety given the place by
the young woman has caused old

New Roads In
Northwest
Commissioner Bryson Gives PEG.
pie Long-Needed Service.
(Auburndale New ,Era)

The country to the northwest
of Auburndale has been in worse
shape, as regards roads, for a
longer time than any other Sec
ton we know of. Commissioner
Bryson has just earned the graft
tude of the residents of that sec
ton and of all having to travel
that way by doing the first work
on the roads ever done by any
county commissioner within the
memory of man. The cash ex.
penditure has not been so large,
and little or no hard surfacing has
been done, but the roads have
been made thoroughly good and
passable, and by contrast with
the old trails the improvement is
immense.
A car can now 60 from Au-
'burndale by Lake Whistler and
up to Morse, and thence to the
Wesley Bryant place, where his
son-in-law, Mr.. Reid Robson
now lives, and from there to
Lakeland, or from Morse direct
to Lakeland via Morgan Reyn
olds' farm and the Combee set
Element. The old Morse-Lake-
land road has been public high
way for years, tho in wretcheo
shape. There was very bac
hole near Morgan Reynolds
where many car and even wag
on got stuck. 1t formerly ran di
agonally across this farm, but
now makes a square turn on lane
lines.
The improvements include ;
bridge 4S feet long over Prairie
Slough, with good graded ap
proaches; a bridge on the Mors'
road north Of the old McLaii
place; a bridge over Alligato
creek near Bryant's and severa
lesser crossings where needed
Among other lines OF trave
opened up by the new roads ant
bridges, it is now possible to g
from Auburndale to Green POM
by car.
Morgan Reynolds has ha'
charge of the crew for Commits
sioner Bryson, and has certain
" produced a frst-class bit O
work all along the line. Need
less to say, the commissioner ha
not made himself unpopular b.
doing this long-needed work
While the territory has no larg
settlements and SO does not al
tract much outside notice, it is
beautiful and fertile country wit
many fine farms and groves, an
the people living there are just a
much entitled to roads as thos
anywhere else.

his rifle stock. By some good fortune
he struck the beast behind the ear. II
fell, stunned.
Then the rest of the pack was upon
him. But it was beginning to grow
lighter. johnson dragged Dufour into
the shelter that he had dug in the
