THE CHILDRENS HOUR.
THE DOG OF PoMPEII.

|ktsA Did you ever hear of Delta, the good
dog of Pompeii? You all know, at
least, that great city was destroyed
hundreds of years ago by torrent
of lava which poured down from the
crater Of the volcano Vesuvius. This
volcano is still active; it is situated
on the Bay of Naples, Italy, nine miles
from the city.
When, in recent times, men began
excavating to find the ruined and
buried city they saw that many ani-
mails and human beings had left traces
which could be recognized. Among
these remains was the skeleton OF a
dog, stretched across the body of a lit
tie child Without doubt he had run to
protect his young master at the first
Elimination OF danger, and died at his
post. On his collar was an inscrip-

Delta, and that he had three times

Christ stood before Plate, the Roman

Lennox got up off the ground and
moved over toward the dead coyote.
He looked long time at the gray
body. And then he stepped back to
where Dan waited on the trail.

Dan answered him with startling
emphasis. But the look that he wore
said more than his words.
They trudged on. and Lennox grew
thoughtful. He was recalling the pic
ture that he had seen when he had
whirled to look at Dan, Immediately
after the deer had leaped from its
bed. 1t puzzled him little. He had
turned to find the younger man in a
perfect posture to shoot, his feet
placed I'm exactly the position that
years of experience had taught Len
nox was correct; and withal, absolute
ly motionless. What many hunters
take years to learn, Dan had seemed
to know by instinct. Could 1t be, after
all. that this slender weakling, even
now bowed down with terrible
malady, had Inherited the true from
tiersman's instincts of his ancestors?
The result of this thought was at
least to hover In the near vicinity Of
certain conclusion. That conclusion
was that at least few of the char
acteristics of his grandfather had
been passed down TO Dan. It meant
that possibly. II time remained, he
would not turn out such a weakling,
after all. OF course his courage his
nerve. had yet to be tested; but the
fact remained that long generations
Of frOntiersmen ancestors had left this
influence upon him. The wild was
calling to him, Weakening instincts
long smothered in cities, but sure and
true as ever. 1t was the beginning
of regeneration. Voices of the long
past were speaking to him, and the
Failings once more had begun to run
true to form. Inherited tendencies
were in a moment changing this weak,
diseased youth into frontiersman
and wilderness inhabitant such as his
ancestors had been before him.
They were slipping along over the
pine needless, their eyes intent on the
trail ahead And then Lennox saw a
curious thing. He behed Dan sud-
denly stop In the trail and turn his
eyes toward a heavy thicket that lay
perhaps one hundred yards to their
right. For an instant he looked al
most like a wild creature himself. His
head was lowered. as IL he were lis
tening. His muscles were set and
ready.
Lennox had prided himself that he
had retained all the powers of his five
senses, and that few men in the noun
tains had keener ears than he. Yet
II was truth that at first he only knew
the silence, and the stir and pulse of
his own blood. He assumed then that
Dan was watching something that
from his position, twenty feet behind,
he could not see. He tried to probe
the thickets with his eyes.
Then Dan whispered. Ever so soft

Lennox's answer was the last thing
In the world to be expected. He
opened his straight mouth and uttered
a great, boyish yell Of Joy. His eyes
seemed to light The eyes Of the two
men met, and Lennox shook him by
the shoulder.

simply watched her. With sthe eye of
an artist he delighted in her gestures,
her ripping enthusiasm, her utter ir-
represslble girlishness that all of time
had not years enough to kill.
Bill stood watching her, his hands
deep in his pockets. evidently COM
panion of the best. Her father gaZed
at her with amused tolerance. And
Dan-he didn't know in just what way
he did look at her. And he didn't have
time TO decide. In less than fifteen
minutes, and wholly without warming
she sprang up from her chair and
started toward the door.
"Good Lord!" Dan breathed. "If
you make such sudden motions as that
I'll have heart failure. Where are
you going now7"
Back 10 my watch" she answered,
her tone wholly lacking the personal
note which men have learned to ex-
pect In the voices Of women. And an
instant later the three ot them saw
her retreating shadow as she vanished
among the pines.
Dan had to be helped to bed. The
long ride had been too hard on his
shattered lungs; and nerves and body
collapsed an instant after the door
was closed behind the departing girl.
He laughed weakly and begged their
pardon and the two men were really
very gentle. They told him II was
their own fault for permitting him to

lence. There's something living In
that thicket."
Then Lennox heard II, too. AS they
stood still, the sound became ever
clearer and more pronounced. Some
living creature was advancing toward
them; and twigs were cracking be-
meath Its feet. The sounds were rath-
er subdued, and yet, as the animal ap-
preached. both of them instinctiveiy
knew that they were extremely loud
for the usual footsteps of any Of the
wild creatures.
"what is it?" Dan asked quietly.
Lennox was so intrigued by the
sounds that he was not even observ-
ant of the peculiar. subdued quality

have wondered at It. SIN free to

They waited. The sound ended.
They stood straining for a long mo-
ment without speech.
THAT was the dumdest thing"
Lennox went on. "Of course II might
have been a bear-you never know
what they're going to do. 1t might
have got sight of us and turned on.
But SAINT believe that 1t was just

coined beside his. He stood a long
instant, and all his instincts and re-
flexes that would have ordinarily
made him flee In AFFECT terror were
thwarted and twisted by the fever of
his madness. He stared moment at
the two figures, and HE red eyes could
not interpret them. They were simply
foes, for II was true that when this
racking agony was upon him. even
lifeless trees seemed foes sometimes.
He seemed eerie and unreal as he
gazed at them out of his burning eyes
and the white foam gathered at his
fangs. And then, wholly without
warning, he charged down at them.
He came with unbelievable speed.
The elder Lennox cried once in warn
ing and cursed himself for ventur-
ing forth on the ridge without a gun.
He was fully twenty feet distant from
Dan; yet he saw in an instant his
only course. This was no time to
trust their lives to the marksmansh'p
of an amateur. He sprang toward
Dan, intending to wrench the weapon
from his hand
But he didn't achieve his purpose.
AT the first step his foot caught in a
projecting root, and he was shot TO
his face on the trail. But long life
In the wilderness had developed Len
nox's reflexes to an abnormal degree;
many crises had taught him muscle
and nerve control; and only for q
fraction Of an instant, a period OF
time that few instruments are fine
enough TO measure. did he lie supinely
upon the ground. He rolled on, into
a position Of defense. But he knew
now he could not reach the younger
man before the mad coyote would be
upon them. The matter was out Of
his hands. Everything depended on
the aim and self-control of the tender
foot.
He looked up, and the whole weird
picture was thrown upon the retina of
his.eyes. The coyote was still racing
straight toward Dan, a gray demon
that In his madness was more terrible
than any charging bear or elk. For
there is an element of horror about
the insane, whether beasts or men,
that cannot be denied. Both men felt
1t. with chill that seemed to pene-
trate clear to their hearts. The eyes
famed, the white fangs of Graycoat
caught the sunlight And Dan stood
erect in his path, his rifle half raised
TO his shoulder; and even in that first
frenzied instant in which Lennox
looked az him. he saw there was
strange impassiveness, a singular i'm
perturbability on his face.
"Shoot, man! ~ Lennox shouted.
"What are you waiting for?'
But Dan didn't shoot. His hand
whipped to his face. and he snatched
off his thick-lensed glasses. The eyes
that were revealed were narrow and
deeply intent. And by now, the fren-
zied coyote was not fifty feet distant.
All that had occurred since the ami
NAL charged had possibly taken five
seconds. Sometimes five seconds Is
just a breath; but as Lennox waited
for Dan to shoot, it seemed like a
period wholly without limit. He won
dered if the younger man had fallen
into that strange paralysis that
great terror sometimes imbues.
"Shoot!" he screamed again.
But it is doubtful if Dan even heard
his shout. At that instant his gun
slid into place, his head lowered, his
eyes seemed to burn along the glitter
ing barrel. His finger pressed back
