A. .M1TCHEL. - Shop wan a collie dog, and a very j i»ilo'!i;»ejit one. I u ■*«! Bex for liumuq? wood* oel;. llow I did love lluu dop, and how he did love jno! Why in the world he couldn’t speak to me I don’t know, lie could talk with Ida eyes, though not with his tongue. Many a conversation I have had with Irm, I speaking with my voice, he with his eyes. liex was stolen from ine, and I didn’t, see him again l'or several years. ■ One October I was hunting in an­ other held, I had possessed other dogs than Ifex, but did not got at­ tached to any of them,, and often would biffit without one. This was the case with me on this 'autumn morning/- As I stalked through a wood, kicking up'dead leaves—a fa­ vorite amusement of mine—I hoard some animal bounding toward me, and through tho hushes between the trees came a dog. I recognized Bex at once, lie ran to ine, put liis fore paws on my shoulder, and if ever a dog cried for joy he did. As .for me, I put my arniB around big neck, and I ’m. not sure but my eyes, too, wore wet. . The next thing I was conscious ■ of was looking at a very pretty girl with a big" hat on her "head, a pair ,of gauntlets on her hands and a whip such as ladies use when walk­ ing out with a. dog. I lifted Rex’s paws from my shoulders and my hat from my head. ’ There was lire in the girlls eye which niy deference did not allay. "What’s the matter with my dog?” she .snapped, laying great stress on the word "my,” "Your dog?” - • "Ye,:;mydog. Whose else should it ho?” ; "Mine.” What a laugh came out of that pretty throat! I t wasn’t really a laugh, hut an. expression of anger, contempt,, irony, derision. I con­ fess I was a hit miffed by it. “You say the dog is yours,” 1 said, trying to sneak pleasantly. "If he is vouvs he will follow his mis­ tress, Call him, please.” ■. "Jack! Come here. Jack!* Do you hear me?” Bex looked at her and wagged his tail, but did not’move. . "You don’t even know the dogV name,” I said. Then, moving away., I called, "Come, Bex/’ and In bounded after me. But 1 noticed that ho kept looking hack at liis mistress. After moving some tweb .ty paces I stopped. I f over there was an angry girl that one was,1 • . . ■ ' "How ' dare you try to ,steal my dog!” she snapped. "Steal your dog? I don’t need te steal 3 'our dog. He knows his mas­ ter and follows him.” "Jack! Cofne here!” She stamp­ ed her little foot in a vain'attempi; to enforce obedience. “Let me have your whip,” I said. "I’ll see if I can drive him hack te you.” I took the whip from her hand and, giving the dog a cut, ordered him away from me. lie got down on the ground and cringed and whined, but ho wouldn’t leave me The girl was beside herself with an gcr and disappointment. It wa- plain that she loved him as well as I did, “Pardon me,” I said to her. "1 should have explained to you that this dog once belonged to me. I lost him, and he non appears to h 4 your property. He's the. nearest to a human being of anv brute I ever know and should he treated as a hu­ man animal. 11is attentions should not he interfered with.” “Yor inv affections either,” “He should he permitted to dwell with the one he lovis best” This was a thrust that didn’t suit her. "Yon mean,” she said, "that he should live with the one who loves him best.” “Very brightly turned, but wom­ an’s logic—a conclusion based on no premises. I t seems to ine this is a triangular affair.^ She opened her eyes ns if won­ dering what that could be, "You love tho dog; I love "the dog. The dog loves you and loves me. One leg of the triangle is miss­ ing.” "Which leg? What leg?” "The one between you and me. There is love between you and the (log and love between me and the dog, but none whatever between you and mo.” "I should think not!” I repressed a smile, "Well,” ' I said, “what are we going to do about it?” "Tbought Jack—Jack, I say.

"Then you will pardon me for bitting while you stand. ; I’m very fired, and I see no way of coming to an agreement.” I sat down, took a pipe from my packet and proceeded to till it, ask­ ing if she would mind iny smoking. She did not reply, and, since silence gives consent, I lit the pipe. "I suppose,” she said presently, "I’ll have to pay you for th It’s very mean of you, hut”— "I don’t, wish to sell him.” “Then what in the world are we going to do?” ' “I think we'd better have a con­ ference.” "We-seem to ho having one, a very long and—disagreeable one.” "If you will sit down and talk reasonably I believe we can come to a satisfactory agreement,” . She looked n long .while'at the j log.and finally sat down on its-other * end.. ,■ -■ t “Now,” I said, puffing a cloud, i "what do you propose?” “What do you propose?” “I proposed a match, but you didn’t, appear to like that' way.” ] “It’s perfectly absurd.” j "Nevertheless I’m quite resolved that it shall be-' settled by that plan.” . She. thought for some time while'- I read.what she was thinking in the expression of her face. By match­ ing she woilld have an equal chance of winning tho dog. By refusing she would surely lose him, for hr would got with me. A got out tha coins again. "I matiih you thiB time,” I said. "Best two iii three.” She sat looking straight ahead of her, not deigning to notice the coin I had laid out on the log for her. Glancing at it, I sa,w “heads” was up. I cried “Tails !” Then, ex-1 amining her coin and mine, I -told { her she had Won on tlie first trial. This induced her tv take some in- j terest in the.'proceedings.
