QUEER DOG WITH QUEER NAME.
mitdKc McRlnnlM Horn Without a
Tail Hat Upon In Doc Society. '
"Smudge McUinniss is a queer name
for a dog but Smudge you must remem
ber is a queer dog'" said Drifter whoac
whistle had summoned to his side a
glossy black sharp-nosed long-eared
terrier without the vestige if a tail.
"There is n clog thnt deserves the sym-
pathy of his kind nnd of the monnrchs
of creation too" continued Drifter.
"Smudge McGinniss without a tail
can do more wagging in gratitude for a
kindly word or a passing caress than a
whole dog show of brutes proud in tho
possession of ornate caudal appendages.
He knows that nature in an unkind mo-
ment cast him in an unfinished mold
lie goes but little in dog society for
there arc no other Schippeikes on our
block and no other breed of dogs bereft
of tails has come under my notice ex-
cept the old or early English sheepdog
and that breed there are none nearer
than some kennels down on Long
Island.
"The big St. Ucrnard next door the
pudgy pug across the street and even
the black nnd tan in the yard back of
ours move in a different set. Smudge
knows this. He can detect n mer of
doggy disdain as quickly as you or I can
M7.e up a full hand. At such times when
my tailless pet has been cut direct by a
more complete dog poor Smudge mopes
and pines like a debutante shut out from
the finest function of the season. He
will sneak into my den crouch in a dark
corner and to the best of his ability
hide the spot w here mother nature
struck him her rude.-t blow. If I am
around Smudge crawls 10 my feet raises
his voice in lamentation and palpably
calls for .sympathy. Then 5-f I am not
too busy I have a romp with the black
unfortunate and all goes well until I
cay:
"Hood Smudge: w here's your tail?'
"That fill : poor Smudge's cup of sor-
row. He oaMs a glance at his denuded
hindquarters his cars droop and sadly
he backs away as if to hide his shame
from his close fri"iid. Smudge craves
affection. Callers always receive a wel-
come from him but let one remark:
'Oil what a funny dog. Vv'hv he hasn't
any tail.' and Smudge disappears until
that caller departs.
"One of our" neighlMrs owns a beauti-
ful grcyhtrtiiid. When that dog put in
an appearance Smudire -:iw at once that
he was de trop for the women forlks
gushed over Sappho's dainty leg;; lovely
neek.-and exquisite tail. My lonely and
unlovely Shipperke emulated Mark
Twain by slinking. For sovc ral days he
refused to be coaxed into a romp. Sap-
pho called again. I ordered Smudge to
my feet ami rend the riot act. I said:
"'Smudge McCinniss von're the
finest handsomest dng of jour size in
the world. ISraec up and show how you
can sing.
"That dog eyed me warily. He saw
honesty in my countenance and en-
couragement in my glance. All hi?
tricks we-e gone through and encored
and for once and all Smudgt McUinniss
found out that in his master's eyes the
faithful dog without a tail stands ace
high even if he eanont enter in a wag-
ging contest." X. V. Sun.

It was after the medical association
had adjourned the other nighjt that the
gruff old doctor called several of his
professional brethren into a corner and
told his story.
"Never had a pleasantcr case in my
life" he chuckled. "You know what a
big powerful fellow Sems is. Never
was sick a day and had always derided
the idea that pain was a thing to make
such a fuss over as K made b some peo-
ple. Even his wife and children never
gat any sympathy from him and he was
always ready to give them a good going-
over for not displacing more stoicism
"Tuesday morning about two o'clock
there was a terrific ringing at my tele-
phone. On answering it I was urged by
an agitated oice to hasten to Sems as
quickly as possible. It was a case of
life and death. t'elting there post haste
I found that great big fellow walking

him that he had no slippers on and then
told her to call a lawyer so he could put

CHAPTER III. OiNTixvnD. .
"Then I think your profession must
be a very important one "
"We. think so. Miss lire ivster. I would
like to be paid a percentage on the
money saved because of my report"
"And won't you?"
"Unfortunately no."
"I think that is too bad. I suppose the
discrepancy must have been small or
the American accountant would not
have overlooked it."
"I didn't say that he had overlooked it.
Still the size of the discrepancy doe.s
not make the difference. A small error
is as easily found as a Jarge one. This
one was large. I suppose there is no
harm in my saying that the books tak-
ing them together showed a profit of
40000 when they should have shown
a loss of nearly half that amount. I
hope nobody overhears jne."
"No; we are quite alone and you may
be sure I will not brcathc-n word of what
you have been telling inc."
"Don't breathe it to Kcnyon at least.
He would think me in.tBte if he knew
what 1 have raid."
"Is Mr. Kcnyon an accountant too?"
"Oh.no. He isa minel'a'logist. He can
go into a mine and tell with a reason-
able certainty whether it will pay the
working of it or not. 3f course as he
says himself any man can sec six feet
into the earth as well a.t ho can. Hut. it
Ls not every man that can gauge the
value of a working min-'so well as .John
Kcnyon."
"Then while you wer" delving among
the figures your companion was delv-
ing among the minerals-.?"
Precisely."
"And dil he make any such startling
discovery as you did?"'
"No: ratiher the other way. He finds
tho mines ery good properties and he
thinlcs that if they arc managed intelli-
gently they will be godl-paying invest-
ments tint is at a poper price you
know not at. what th owners ask for
them nl present- Hut you can have no
possible interest in the ;e dry details."
"Indeed 3-011 are mi (taken. I think
what you hae told m intensely inter-
esting." For once in her life Mi.ss Jennie I'row-
ster told the exact truth. The unfor-
tunate man at her sidr was flattered.
"For what 1 hae tcld ou." he aid
"we were ofEered twicj w'hat the Lon-
don people pay us for coming out here.
In f:uet even more thafi that. We were
asked to name our ow ii price."
"IJeally now. By tl e owners of the
property I Mippose if rou wouldn't tell
on them?"
"No. By one of yoar famous New
1 oik newspapermen. He ren went so
far as to Meal the papers that Kcnyon
had in Ottawa. He wa:chworry caught
though before he coahl make any use of
what- he had stol-Mi. In fact tinl-s his
people in W-w York had the figure which
were orif-inally placed before the Lon-
don board I doubt if my statistics would
liae been of much ii'-e to him. een if
lie had been allowed to keep ihfin. The
full significance of m nqiort will not
s3:ow- until the figures I have given air
oomjKired with those already in the
hands of the Loudon people w hich were
vouched for as correct by your clever
American accountant."
"You shouldn't run down an ac-
countant just because he is an Amer-
ican. Perhaps there will c.-me a day.
Mr. Went worth when you will admit
that there are Americans who are more
clever than either that accountant or
that newspaper man. I don't think
your sccimens are typical."
"I don't 'run dm n. ;us you call it. She
men because they are Americans. I
'run down the accountant because he j
was either ignorant orcorsupt. I 'run
down' the newspaper man ljecnuse lie
was a thief."
Miss Drowsier was silent for a few
moments. She was impro-ing on hoi
memory what he had said to her and
was anxious to got away so that she j
could write out in her cairiu exactly
what had hven told her. The sound of
he. lunch gong yae hr the exeu-e she
.seeded so. bidding her victim a pleas-
ant and friendly farewell she hurried
from the deck to her stateroom.
CnAPTEUIY.
There was one man on board the
.olorie to whom Wcntworth had taken
in extreme dislike. His name was
Fleming and he claimed to lo a New-
York politician. As rone of his friends
or enemies assorted anything worse
alout him.it may bo assumed t hat-Fleming
had designated Irs occupation cor-
rectly. If Wentwort 1 were aKed what
he most disliked about tho man he
would probably have said his offensive
familiarity. Flcminp seemed to think
himself a genial good'follow- and ho was
immensely popular w "rib a certain class
m the smoking-room- He was lavishly
free with his invital ons to drink and
he always had a c:m of good cigars
in his pocket which he bestowed with
great liberality. Ik had the habit of
slapping a man boisterously on the back
and saying: "Well eld fellow how are
you? How's things?' He usually con-
fided to his listeners'that h" was a elf-
inade man had Ian led at New York
without a cent in his pocket slid look
at him now.
Wcntworth was ic'- toward this man.
but frigidity had noffect uhatcwr on
the exuberant spirits of the New York
politician.
"Well old man." cried Fleming to
Wcntworth as he ca 110 up to the latter
nnd linked arms affct tionatoly. "What
lovelv weather w c ar.. having for winter
time."
"It is good" said Wcntworth.
"t'ood. It's glorious! Who would
have thought when leaving New York
in a snouMorni as did that we would
run right into the Leart of spring? I
hope you arc enjoying your voyage?"
"lam."
"You ought to. I5y the way. why are
you so awful sta ncl -offish? Is it na-
tural or merely pun on 'for this occa-
sion only.'?"
"I do not know what you mean by
stand-offish. "
"You know very well what T mean.
Why do you pretend to be so stiff and
formal with a fellow?"
"I am; never stiff and formal with any-
one unless I do not desire his acquaintance."
wJr
t
that's a personal hint. Well It secnw to
me if' this exclusiveness is genuine
that you would be more afraid of news-
paper notoriety than of anything else.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because I can't for the life of mc
see why you spend so much time with
'Dolly Dimple I nra suro I don't know-
why she is here but I do know this
that you will be served up to the ex-
tent of two or three columns in the
Sunday Argus as sure as you live."
"I don't understand you."
MYou don't? Why it's plain enough.
You spend all your time with her."
"I do not even know of whom you arc
speaking."
"Oh come now that's too rich. Is
it possible that you don't know that
Miss Jennie IJrewstcr is the one who
writes tnose Sunday articles over the
signature of 'Dolly Dimple?' "
A strange iear eaijie over Went worth
as his companion mentioned the Argus.
He remembered it as.T. K. Hi vers paper
but when Fleming said Miss Hrcwster
was a correspondent of the Argus he
was aghast.
"I I I don't think I quite catch
your meaning" he .stammered.
"Well my meaning's easy enough to
see. Hasn't she ever told you? Then
it shows she wants to do voh up on
toast. You're notan English politician
are you? You hnven't any political se-
crets that Dolly wants o get at lm
ou? Why she is the greatest girl there
is in the whole I'nitcd States for find-
ing out just what a man doesn't want to
have known. You know the secretary
of Mate" and h-n Fleming went on
to relate a wonderfully brilliant feat
of "Dolly's" but the person to whom he
was talking had neither eyes nor ears.
He. heard nothing and he saw nothing.
"Dear me"' said Fleming drawing
himself up and shipping the. other on
the. back "you look perfectly dum-
foundeu. I suppose I oughtn't to hav
given Dolly away like this: but she has
pretended all along that she didn't know
me and so I got even with her. You
take my advice and anything you
don't want to see in print d.m't you tell
Miss IlrowMer.that'sall. Have u cigar?"
"No. thank you" replied the other
mechanically.
"IVtier come in and have a drink."
"No. thank you."
"Well so long. I'll see you later."
"It can't 1k true. It can't le true"
Wcntworth repeated to himself with
deep consternation but still with some
misghing warning him that after all
it might be true. With his hands
clasped behind him he walked up and
down. tr:ng to collect himself trying
to remember w hat he had told and w hat
he had not. As he wa'ked :lnig. heed-
ing nobody a sweet vo'ce from one of
the chairs thrilled him ami he Niiird.
"Why Mr. Wcntworth what is the
matter with you this morning? You
look as if you had reen a ghost."
Wcntworth glanced at the young
woman seated in the chair who was
gazing up brightly at him.
"Well." he said at last "I am not sure
; but L have seen a
ghost. May I sit
1 dow 11 Ix'side you?"
"May you? Why of course you may.
I shall be doliirhled to baie yoi. Is
there niiythimr wnm??"
"I don't know. Ye. I think there is."
"Well toll it to in-; f;rliaps 1 ran
help ou. A woman's aviI u know.
What is the trouble?"
"May I ask ymi a few questions. Miss
r.rewsier?"
"Certainly. A thou -mid of them if
ou like; and I w ill answer them .ill if
I can."
"Thank you. Will you tell me. Miss
Drew ster if you are connected with any
newspaper?"
Miss Hrcwster hiHghed her merry
siiery. little laugh. "Who told you?
Ah! I see how it is. It was that c rea-
"You haven't any po'itlca tccrrtn that Dolly
wants to eel at. liave yuu"' "
ture Fleming. I'll got even with him
for this some day. I know what o'licc
he is after and the next time he wants
a good notice from the Aran he'll pet
it: see if ho dnif :. I know mo things
ubout him that ho would ju : a soon
rot see in print. Why what a fI the
man i! I suppose he told oil out of
lvxengo. Ihc:iiim I wouldn't j-:.!; to
him the other evening. Never mind I
can afford to wait."
"Then then Mis.s Hrcwster it is
true."
"Certainly it is true; is there any-
thing wrong about it .' I hope yon don't
think it is disreputable :o belong to a
g:od newspaper '.:
"To a gwv.t nrwspapor no; to a bad
JieTTiiapor. yes."
"Oh I don't think the Argus i a bad
newspaper. It pays well."
"Then it is to the Argus that vou be-
long?" "Certainly."
"May I ask. Miss Hrcwster. if there
is tflry thing I have spoken to you about
that you intend to use in your paper?"
Again Miss Hrcwster laujjhed. "I
will be perfectly frank with you. 1
never tell a lie it doesn't pay. Yes.
The reason I am here is because you are
here. I am here to liml out what your
report on those mines will be. also
what the report of your friend will be.
i. hac found cut."
"Ajid do you intend to uce the infor-
mation you have thus obtained :f I
may say it under false pretenses?"
"My dear sir you are forgetting your-
self. You must remember that you are
talking to a lady."
"A lady!" cried Wcntworth in his
anguish.
"Yes. sir a lady: and you must be
careful how you talk to th"i3 lady.
There was no false pretense about it
if you remember. What you told me
was in conversation; I didn't ask you
for it. 1 didn't even make the first ad-
vaocM toward jfour Mflsaiatance.'

"But you must admit. Miss Brew-
ster that it is very unfair to get a man
to engage in what he thinks is a private
conversation and then to publish what
he has said."
"My dear sir if that were the case
how would we get nnything for publi-
cation that people didn't want to be
known? Why 1 remember once when
the secretary of state "
"Yes" interrupted Wentworthwcari-
ly "Fleming told me the story."
"Oh. did he? Well I'm sure I'm ir.uch
obliged to him. Then I need not re-
peat it."
"Do you mean to say that you intend
to seud to the Argus for publication
what I have told you in confidence?"
"Certainly. As 1 said before that is
what I am here for. Hesides there is
no 'in confidence' about it."
"And yet ou pretend to be a truth
ful honest honorable woman?"
"I don't pretend it 1 am."
"How much truth then is there ir.
your story that you arc a millionaire's
daughter about to visit your father in
Paris and aecpmpany him from there
to thePiviera?"
Mis-s P.rowMer laughed brightly.
"Oh I don't call b tint a person has
to tell in the way of business untruths."
"Then probably yiu would not call
what Mr. .7. K. Uivcrs. of your estimable
paper did in Ottawa dishonorable?"
"Well hardly. I think I'iers was rot
justified iu what he did. because he v as
j msucces:.ful. that is all. I'll hit a. dol
lar if I had got hold of those papers
they would haw gone through to New-
York: but then .1. K. Hi vers is only a
stupid man and most tie-n are stupid"
with a shy glance at Wcntworth. )
"I am willing to admit that. Miss
HrowMor. if you mean 1:10. Th re net or
was a more Mup:d man than I have
been."
"My dear Mr. YV.-nl worth it will do
you owr .j lurch good if you come to a
realization of t!.:it fact. Tho truth i.
uni take oir-i-If much to seriously.
Now. it won't hurt you a bit to haw
what I am iroing to haw published in
the Argu. and it will help me a great
deal. .Ium ou wait hero for a few moment.-."
With that she flung her book
upon his lap sprang up and vani.-hed
down the eompanionway. In a wry
short time sue ioapx-arcd with i.oin
sheets of jKipcr in her hand.
"Now you see how fair anil honest I
am going to Ik. I am going to lead vou
what I haw written. If tin-re is any-
thing iu it that is not true. 1 will wry
gladly cut it out: and if there is any-
thing more to ho added. 1 shall Ik wry
glad to add it. Isn't that fair?"
Wcntworth was so confounded with
the woman's impudence that he could
make no reply.
She began to icad: "Ily an unex-
plained stroke of enterprise tho New-
York Argus is enabled this morning to
lay before its readers a full and excln-

THE IRON DUKE REASONED
And by 60 Doing Helped HlmsvlXla Cnaa
and IUttla.
It is told of the duke of Wellington
that he was out fox hunting when the
hounds on reaching the bank of a small
river lost the scent. The master of the
hounds apologized to the duke. "I'm
afraid your grace our fun is over. The
dogs can't pick up" the scenL"
"Not very likely my lord. A fox
hates water."
"Aye. aye." urged the duke "but he
may have crossed over some bridge."
"I don't blieve there is a bridge' an-
iwcred the master of the hounds.
"Well" continued the duke "unless
you know to the contray though I was
never here be fori I will wager a trifle
rou will find one within a.n.ile."
The two men. followed by the hunt
pushed on. and less than a mile off
j fame upon a rudely-constructed bridge.
1. he dogs crossed it again took up tin
scent and killed the fox. Asked for
the reason for assorting that there wa
a bridge near he answered: "I saw
! three or four cottaces clustered to-
pothcr on each bank of the river and I
thought the people living in them
would be tempted by their social feel
injr. to contrive a means i.f visitint
each other. That same inference o!
' mine gained me one of my battles. ''-

A Painful Humor
On the Ankle Spread to the Knee-
and Developed into Bolla-No
Trouble SInoe Taking Hood's.
"I was troubled with a disagreeable
Itching on one of my aukles. In time- it
developed into bolls cf which I had five or
six at a time. Tho humor spread from my
ankle to ray kneo and was very painful.
It bafuevl tho skill of pbysiciatis. For
weeks I could not hour ray weight on this
foot. Au abs.vss formed and was lanced
and tho lienor broke out on my other
ankle and threatened to repeat my former
experionee. Hood's Sarsaparilla attracted
Tvy attention abd I began taking ft. In six
weeks I was beuor aud began to hope to
permanent cave. I took Hood's Siirsa-
vjrii'a bc month and was entirely cured.
I have had no trouble with humor since
