pirates, was used in building the walls
Of Babylon. Much Of the talk about
the skill of the ancients and their lost
arts is all myth. They should be
given full credit for what they did, but
such walls as those Of Babylon and
such structures as the Pyramids could
be built far more easily and quickly
It the present time. Now, however,

MASTER WARNED OF DANGER BY
 FAITHFUL DOG
REMARKABLE INSTIN CT OF A SCOTCH COLLIE IS FORCIBLY DEMONSTRA- TED DURING A CLOUD BURST RECENTLY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

MT. and Mrs. French Hayes, of Searchlight, New. arrived in Prescott last week by train, after a thrilling experience near Dumont, on the Tonopah railroad, when overtaken by a cloudburst while motoring in their Marmon car.
 They were travelling down a ravine at a brisk pace and were rapidly be- ing overtaken by a wall of water over seven feet high when their thorough bred Scotch Collie dog paved its master in the face and commenced to whine. Looking back MT. Hayes saw his peril, and informing his wife of the danger facing them, the car was stcered up the bank and they jumped out. Said Mr. Hayes:
 "In less than five minutes the water came roaring around the turn in the creek bed and few seconds later was at the place where we turned to the side. It caught my car and carried it down over mile, com plClGlN NlCNNiiS It. NOhid iiNS eN know what power of reasoning, if not human insight. was given this dumb brute to be so sensitive of danger by informing Us in his mute way. what fate was ovcrtaking us. He did not attempt to. get out of the car, but he did warn us of what would hap pen if we did not heed him. He was the first to jump out, but made no further demonstration. He was on the box behind the front seat of the roadster. and must have first heard the roar of the water fully a hali mile behind. When the water came in sight he then warned us, and l honestly believe our lives were saved by him. Don't abuse a dog: he's a true friend, ever watchful over his master, and he will stick to the last.
