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 go on
in hun II 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 Eskimos 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 proveTb,

animals had not yet shed their coats,
rich and silky from the prolonged cold.
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 a child. Dufour
had stolen her. He would kill pufour.
None would ever know of the tragedy
in this desolate region. In a year or
two. when Dufour's death had come to
be accepted. he would go back TO
Marie.
The idea, with which he had played
at first. grew stronger, until 1t over
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 ltealthily
toward Dufour's camp he found the

He saddled his horse hastily and fol-
lowed him. But soon the snow began
to fall, and the mans trail became OBJ

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
blanketed and tethered. under the pro
lection of the bank.
II must have been in the middle OF
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 1t. A man was crying at the
bottom OF the valley. Mingled with his
cry came a furious snarl which had
only one meaning for Johnson, and for
the horse as well.
Hastily he untethered the trsmblins

"'Same here. said the first woman.
And then they went in and sat
through FIVE acts wherein the hero

hand. found a diamond as big as a

When the curtain fell to the sound

TWO ON A TRAIL

When Johnson reached old Lee

hundred miles that spring to WOO Ma

been better than at any time In his
ten years OF trapping. He meant to
ask the pretty French girl to come
South and marry him at Winnipeg.
As has been seid. he was Just ten
minutes too late. Dufour had antici-
pated him by that amount OF time. He
had heard that Dufour was ahead OF
him, and, though he had no reason to
suppose that Marie cared for the man.
he had been vaguely uneasy. He had
seen Dufour at last, when he was
within ten miles of the cabin. and
had spurred his tired horse onward.
But when he reached the top of Birch
Rise, where d few dwarfed trees af-
forded an uncertain cover. he saw
Marie and Dufour standing In front OF
the cabin. and he saw Dufour take the
girl in his arms.
