But ina few moments everything was quiet again, and he managed to lead old Molly out into the road without any further mishap.

Oh, Johnnie!"” i “Who calls upon Sir John the Val-' fant?” answered he in a deep bass which almost choked him. A moment more and there appeared at the top of | the ladder a woman's face. The fore- ! head was lined with care and the! mouth had a discouraged droop, but there was a gleam of unqumxvlmble'- mirth in the faded blue eyes. “I wish’t the noble Sir John would make haste and fetch his paw's from the gouth pastur’,” said s eyes dancing. Sir John rose, drew Limseclf up so | that he looked at least six feet two in his mind's eve, folded his arms and gazed with a Laughty stare at his | mother. “Woman, I am not a slave. Tama! knight,” quoth he. Just then he heard the strident voice of Silas as he ad- dressed sundry remarks to the horses, “Thy minion is without, call him to do thy bidding,” added Sir John. “If you mean Silas, he's got all he |y kin do, and you ncedn't be callin’® him | names, neither,” suid his mother, her face hardening. But Sir Jokn positively refused to outrage his knightly dignity by driving cattle.

Imagine his consterna- tion when he could noet find his trusty ! steed, He called again and again, but no Molly appeared. Then he noticed how “awfully dark” it really was. Some of those trees looked mizhty funny. What was that? Only the leaves rustling. They never sounded so in the daytime. Why didn’t the sun come up? A ghostly screech plerced the air. The blood of Sir John the Valiant ran cold. Again that awful “Whoo-00-00," and Sir John took to his heels in ignoble flight. He tripped on his saber and fell, but was too frightened to rise, and so lay still and sobbed. At last he sobbed him- self asleep, and when he awoke the sun was shining brightly through the trees. He was very hungry, and stiil a good deal frightened. He had lost the corn bread from his pockets, and he thought longingly of the bacon that his mother cooked for breakfast. He got up and started to walk; but the sword dragged him back. All his de- sire for adventure had vanished with the night. He trudged along, carry- ing the sword in his arms. Some time later a very humble knight errant stood at the kitchen door, looking into the worrled face of his father. “Air ye goin’ to lick me, paw?" was what he said. But his mother ran to him and kiss- «d him, and cried, and Sir John the ! Valiant laid his head on his mulhcr'si { A Dl B S T ) D OFGFCGOGOGTOOOAD IO | shoulder and cried, too.

I'rancis D, Craig, of Indianapolis, who owns a farm in Brown county, near Helwsburg, says his tenant has a dog that disp as much intellf- cenee as any singing or piano playing houn' dawg.” Watch, is the dog's ne, and it is just a cur, without a pedigree. Wateh strayed a mile or so from home some time ago, and | calling the Jdog’s name did not bring back. tinally the tenant tele- rhoned to Helmsbure, “Yes, Watch is here,” was the re- ply in answer to an inquiry. Watch heard the telephone bell ring | und became interested. The recelver | was put to the dog's ear, and when | it heard its master's voice, it barked with delight. “Come home, Watch,” sald the ten- ant when he heard the dog's bark. Watch made a leap for the door, and was home in a few minutes. Since | then the dog has learned to use the | phone. When it {s away from home, | and wishes the owner to know where 1t is, it enters a house or store, goes to | the phone, and barks until the recetver | is taken down. When this is done, the | exchange operator, who knows the ! dog’s volce, makes connection with | the owner's house, and Watch barks “Im here” or “I'm com!ing"—at least, the barks sound something like that, | Mr, Craig says. Wagch has even been known to take the receiver down with ite pawe, but as it finds difficulty in holding the recelver to i's ear, the dog prefers assietance.—Indlanapolls News.
