! pie must be there. The dog dragged
the boy into some thick bushes, told
him to keep still, crept softly toward
the fire. A pot hung over the fire,
and blond man sat before it. Close
by stood a wagon with large wheels,
to which a brown horse was har-
messed. The dog looked at the many
very searchingly. He looked differ
ent from the people at home, had a
very light skin, kind blue eyes; sure
ly he was Northerner. But was he
a good man? Then the dog remem-
bered that only very good people un-
derstand the language of animals,
and the dog decided to tell him the
story of little Benjamin. Carefully
he came closer to the fire and said
softly, Good evening, man. Are
you Northerner?"
The man looked at him in surprise,
but, oh, joy, he had understood the
words and answered, "Good evening,
my friend. Yes, / am a Northenet.
Do you want to eat something? My
supper will. soon be really"
81 am not hungry" replied the
Cog. "But / want some help" And
thcr he told the story of little BEN
ianin.
The blond man became red with
anger and his eyes CLEANED. This
made the dog happy. "He is really
good man." thought he, "for only
good people are angered by the suf-
ferings of other people" When he
was thru speaking, the man said,
Bring your little friend here quick
| ly. My horse has rested enough. We
will ride off Immediately so that no
one can capture Benjamin"
How happy the little grey dog was !!
In spite of his WEAKNESS, he danced
with joy, wagging his tail, and start
ed toward the bushes where Ben
jamin was hidden. Then he saw
something terrible. A man came
over the meadow with a dog, which
ran straight towards the bushes. The
grey dog howled with fright. The
blond man looked up, jumped for
ward and called to the dog, keep
the man back just a moment, and
all will be well" At that the dog
ran toward the man. The man had
reached the bush, with one bound
the dog leaped at his throat, bit it
hard, did not loosen his hold in spite
of cuts and blows.
In the meantime the Northerner
F., had taken little Benjamin in his
arms, ran hastily toward the wagon,
jumped in, and called to the dog,
Follow US, we will wait for you in
a safe place" Then he cracked his
whip, started on the road, the brown
horse galloped ahead, for it knew cv-
erything that was going on.
The grey dog still gripped the
mans throat, thinking every moment
that if he could detain the man, it
would be an advantage to the good
man and the little boy. and would
save his friend. But the man, tired
iof wrestling, took a large knife from
his pocket and plunged it deep into
the breast of the faithful dog. The
dog whimpered piteously and fell
heavily to the ground. His clouded
eyes still saw, far off in the distance,
tiny spot that kept growing SMALL
er and smaller; that was the wagon
which was carrying little Benjamin
to freedom.
Great JOY filed the dogs heart.
He wagged his bushy tail once more.
Then he died.
The blond man and little Ben
jamen waited a long time in vain for
the grey dog. Benjamin wept bit
terly, and his new friend comforted
him fsTha bravo doc will conaa ,,,o

THE LITTLE GREY DOG.
BY HERMINIA FUR MULLEN.

Synopsis: Benjamin was a little
colored slave who had lost his
father and mother. It was in the
old days of negro slavery down
south so Benjamin had TO work
hard all day in the fields under the
hot sun and he was continually
beaten by the overseer. One day
Benjamin was surprised when his
only friend, little grey dog whom
he had saved from drowning,
spoke like human being and told
him to run away. They ran until
they came to a river, where an
alligator was just about to eat
Benjamin up. The dog then saved
the boys life and got the ALI
gator to take them to an island
in the middle of the river, where
they would be safe from the serv-
ants of the rich slave owner who
were after them.)

alligator was just about to eat
Benjamin up. The dog then saved
the boys life and got the alli-
gator to take them to an island
in the middle of the river, where
they would be safe from the serv-
ants Of the rich slave owner who
were after them.)
sXXTE thank you, mighty animal;
w but how can we reach the
island? The water is rough and
deep, and my little friend can't
SWIM"
Il will carry you over on my
back, answered the alligator.
Benjamin and the dog seated them
selves on the scaly back of the ami
NAL, and it began to swim. What
strange journey that was. The waves
played over the back of the alligator
and the dog was afraid that the al
ligator might change his mind and
eat both of them for breakfast. For
that reason he spoke continuously to
the alligator, fiattered him, praised
his goodness and declared solemnly
that the alligators are the noblest
animals in the world. This trick did
not fail in it's purpose. When they
landed on the island. the alligator
called twelve of the strongest alli-
gators to him, instructing them that
they must not harm a hair on the
boy or the dog, that they were his
guests. He also commended them to
swim along the bank of the river
and stand guard, keeping the people
from coming to the island. This was
well done, for when the sun was high
in the heavens, five men appeared,
sent by the rich man to look for Ben
jamin. One pointed to the island,
started to go into the water, when
an immense alligator pushed his head
out of the water and the man crept
back. He can't be there" said the
man to his companion. The alli-
gators here must have eaten him."
Benjamin and the dog rested all
day on the island. The little boy
ate the sweet berries that grew there,
drank from well, and at evening
the alligator carried them back again
to the bank and bid them friendly
farewell.
Today travelling was more difficult
than it had been yesterday, for Ben
jamin's feet were blistered, hs
groaned and complained at every
step. The dog comforted him, en-
couraged him, let him ride on his
back little while tho the boy was
too heavy and after a few minutes
the dogs bones would crack and he
would have to lie down. Deep sor-
row tormented the dog, surely the
servants of the rich man were some
where in the neighborhood, deter
mined not to return home without
the boy. And even if they were not
found, how far was it to the North?
How will we get there if Benjamin
is already too tired to go further?
Toward midnight they suddenly
saw fire burning on a meadow. Peu-

Operated On For
Appendicitis
FUNERAL ARRAN NGEMENTS TO
BE ANNOUNCED LATER

Many times, no doubt, you have
seen the above headline in your
newspaper Very often it has told
of some friend suddenly stricken
with dread appendicitis. The news
papers, however, neglect to state
that appendicitis is usually preced'
ed by stomach trouble. They don I
tell you that the afflicted person
suffered frequent attacks of heart
burn long before he went to the
hospital.
While heartburn is not always
sign of an inflamed appendix, it is
always a warning that something is
wrong. In many cases 1t results
from indigestion, which is one OF
the predisposing causes of appen-
dicitis.
If you suffer from burning,
gnawing sensation in the stomach,
excessive gas, sour stomach, nausea
or other distress after eating, go at
once and obtain bottle OF Smith
Bros M. A. O., the guaranteed
stomach treatment. This pleasant,
harmless liquid rids the stomach of
catarrhal mucus, allays inflamma-
ton, helps digestion asd cleanses
the bowels of poisonous waste mat
ters. Price $125. Money back if
the first bottle does not relieve.

4 LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-Still
almost neck and neck, the San Fran
cisco and Seattle clubs of the Pa
cific coast league today are battling
along at the top of the scramble in
the same positions they occupied a
week ago.
y The Seals have a game and a half
lead. Both teams won four games
cf the series ending yesterday, the
leaders winning from Sacramento
while Seattle, until Sundays double
defeat, was pummeling Oakland in
one-sided fashion.
The Oaks slipped back somewhat
in third place, but lost no ground
to Vernon, as Bill Essick s hirelings
dropped a series to the 9wly Beav-
ers
At the bottom of the pile Los An
geles and Portland both gained a
few points on Salt Lake, the Bees
now being scant half game
ahead of Bill Klepper boys.
The, Seattle series, start
ing in the north tomorrow, should
shake things up among the leaders.
Both clubs have the opportunity to
gain considerably by persistent
winning streak. San Francisco is
expected to bolster it IS leadership
by victories over Salt Lake while
Sacramento plays Los Angeles and
Oakland invades Portland.
Defeating Arthur "Tillie" Shaf-
er, former giant, Jack Neville, four
time winner of the California anna
teur golf championship, annexed the
Los Angeles Country club title yes
terday. The score was 2 and l.
Pitcher Charles Fulton of the
Augusta, Ga, club of the South
Atlantic league, has been purchased
by the Vernon team. Fulton, a
ghthander, has won "a and lost
five games this season. He will
join the Tigers September1O.
Reports that Jake Daubert might
become the manager of the Port
land Beavers was denied last night
by President Klepper of the Oregon
club. The new angle is that Kid
Gleason, former White Sox leader
but at present unattached, may get
the berth.
Duke Kahanamoku, captain of the
American Olympic swimming team,
is in Los Angeles today. The water
star reached Lake Arrowhead from
the east yesterday in time to cap
ture the 100-yard free style event
in the Mile Hi championship.
Mickey Riley, IA year old phenom,
went against a field of ten fancy
divers to capture the event. He
won over Harold Bandy, Pacific
coast champion.
