DOGS
LThcSpook Hounds
ftThat fellow Bill Doran mid the man
In the seedy shooting coat bad one ofthe greateit heads In the dog breedingbuslnoM I gueea you never heard ofDill Dorgan
Bill stArted hU ftolentiflo experimentswith a snub nosed little bull terrier whoseknnnel name was Dan Bill had pickedDan from a Doveooat Derringer litter totia a prlu winner He slapped a fancykennel namo on him and got ready to sweepthe puppy clan
But the older that pup Dan got thehe got Ills nose snubbed down till
It turned up and then pointed off at theend in a way no respectable judge wouldlook at for a minute It was a Dudley noneanyhow Just blotched with white
He growed a nturnmlok like an aldermanand Utile spindly legs and a sickle talland-h didnt have no style or atand It theyt w ws a dogthat diegraceu a good familyII wa that dog Dan
1 happened over to Bill Dorgan onestayed to supper There In the
h i i wax that pup living with the familyWhat areyou doing with that said I
to Kill
Its my hotwedog says BillWell If I was raising a housedog says
I neem to me Id tie to something that-c nt calculated to give a nervous babythe
80 nays Bill kind of joshing likeAnd he didnt refer to the subjeok again
till after supper That dog Dan laid on thefloor all through supper never paying noattention to anybody which struck methen as kind of funny In a ninemonth pup
Hed lay with bla head on his pawswatching the door And by and by thehair on his back would begin to bristleand then hed begin to watch something
Hed foller It all around the room withbis cyee till it got into the fur corner andthen hed crawl up close to tbe fireplaceund Mick him tall between his legs andgrowl under bin breath and then toiler Itback After hed done that about fourtime he took to sneaking out and trallinthe thing
Hed crawl after It like a cat with hisnote on the ground kind of whimpering-to himself
Walt a minute says Bill Watch him
nowThat pup Dan was trailing again Thistime when hed got to the far corner hestiffened out the way a bull terrier alwaysdoes when bes ready for trouble and gavea little growl In his throat and jumpedHe smashed into the corner no bard It gavehim a bloody nose and swung around likea flash and bit the air
He chased all tbe way to the doorsnapping and growling There ho stoppedwith him legs spread out looking disap-
pointed and foolishBill turned up the lights and that pup
Dan went back and laid down by the fire-
place and seemed to be athlnklngWhat the boil says IThats what I wanted to Mt you about
says Bill any dopt In yourfu him
or two says ISam say lUll I want them dog
And then Bill loosened up and talkedHed been worrying a good deal it seemsabout some property that had been leftby his uncles wife and hed went to see amedium about It taking Dan along Andthe minute the medium got Connectionswith Bills uncles wife seen her standinglooking over his shoulder that pup Danhad been took withone of his fits of fight-
ing the airRight there Bill got ideaSam he says to metlwys fortune in
It AH years weve been breedingdogs for and aim ignoring theirIntellect You ought to ee it as plain asyour nose If you breed the shortesttailed dogs you can find to the shortesttailed dog you get a race of bobtailedlog dont you Well if I breed dogs that
things at night to other dogs thatthings at night what do I get Ask
yourself The spook hound And Ithought it all up Its going to l e themaking of the Mayfleld Kennel
Well the upshot of it was that I let Bill
have all my scrub dogs that had a Way ofnoeing things though 1 hadnt no faith Inthe oherne then He got a lot more fromthe Wanderer Kennels and the Sparrownook Kennel and begun to experiment-
The first generation of them dogs couldnil see things at night but they couldnttoiler em beyond tbe door any morenDan could The second generation waaable to trail em clear out Into the yardand the third could trail em all over Madeall kinds of trouble up George wayscratching up gardens and barkIng up trees no that people thought they
Many a dog Bill lout that wybut bo on I was convincedby time that there was something-In it I wanted BUI to go and an-
nounce hisYou Bill till I raise
two litters Ive got now And he tookme out and showed em to me
For looks they was the darndeat youever saw Bill hadnt tuok to no specialbreed he had wed bull terriers and floesand Newfoundlands and dachshunds andfetter and plain curd Any dig went as
long as It could Me thing at nightMme Blavatsky II the mother of one
litter looked like she might be Newfound-land crossed on dachshund with a dash ofterrier and the pups have no shapeat all They had point where
all looked alike and maybe that wasaccident They had great big sad brownrye and sunk cheeks And they neverlaughed and wagged their like otherIOR but Jest looked kind ofthoughtful
Looks good to me says I but whatate you going to do with em now youvegot em
Easy money says Bill In the firstplace every rnediwn in the business willwant one of em and in the second placethink how I can clear out housesThey cant really hurt thebut no ghosts going to stay whereef spook hounds Is pestering him day andnight Between you and me Bill Ive tookthe contrack to clear out the old Connollymansion as soon as I get this hunch ofpups raised
Won when those was about ayear old Bill sent he was allready to try experiments with the old
The peopl had moved out ofthe to give Bill n hand Hhad a to It nocuro no pay And hearked me to go and help

We took six dogs each of us leadingthree I had William Henry Bishop a-
cross between flee and greyhound and MrSludge who was mostly hull and MadameBlavaUky III There was so nun
Madams BUvatsky IH tbat youem but her attack was gray New-
foundland She was the pride of thekennels
Bull led Mr Sludge and Katherine Tingley and Lucy Fox after greatmediums was Bills Idea Hedbeen reading-up on spooks
was a black dark night with cloudsover the moon a great night for ghosts Inever did have such a time handling dogsWo came down the banks of the Hudsonwith them six dogs limping at every tree andtrying to nose at every fence and growling-at things
You know about the Connolly place Iguewi big lawn all gone to seed and lots oftrees and t whopping big old house Theres-a big reception room or dance or
I on the ground floor galleriesrunning around the top and all kinds ofshadowy corners
We sneaked into the big hall with thefloor cranking and we down and took theleojiW off the dogs and Bill hada bullsoye lantern with He lit itand turned it away down so it gave justenough light for us to see a little and notenough to scare the ghosts away And
we waited The dogs was layingus all quiet
All of a sudden Madame Blavatskybegun to growl under her breath And aminute later every pup In the bunch wasgrowling and shaking and watchingcorner with them awful big eyes
Looking at the direction of their eyesyon could sos em foller it from the cornerto the middle of the floor and then up thobig staircase and down the staircase againand off into the corner Mme Blavatsky-got up you could her stiffen aU overand begin to toiler but Bill held her down
Leta wait till it plainer says
BillHo hadnt no moren said It than thedogs began watchin1 again The thingseemed to be coming down the staircaseand oros ing to one the big pillars thatholds up the rout
seemed to stop by that plllarandI just then the whole bunch of spook houndsI broke away from us altogether and went
crawling and crouching towardthat pillarThe next you know they broke out barkingunder their breaths all to once and Jump-
ing and yelping and trying to climb thepillarAnd
the first thing you know Dill and-
I begun to see something Right on thetop ot the pillar where they was a lot ofdinkurabob they was a kind ofmist and crowed tillwe saw It was a ghost
Hon Id been expecting to ghostswhen to the Connolly anilI was protected by the boat packof spook hounds In tbe world hut my hairrow up and my collar got tight Just thesame There sitting on the ornamentlooking down at the hound like a treed
I coon was a little old chap In knee breechesand a pig tall looking like one of the pic-
tures in tbe geographyIt felt like we set there for hours the
dogs looking up and growling the littleold man kind of shifting uneasy like everylittle while and Bill and me shivering alldown our backbone And then MmeBlavatsky begun to sot queer
She begun to stiffen out and
log out stiff a a poker with nothing mov-
ing but her tall Once In a while thattall would hit the floor in a regular thumpthump
Whats doing says Bill to mebeing a BplriohulUt he wasnt
much And then all ofa tot tbe Idea together
was spirit rapsBlavatxky owing to careful
breeding for class In spook seeing wasmore than a spook hound
She was a medium dogOne rap for yes two for no says Bill
in tlK ghost Do you want these dogs togo away
Thump goes Madame Blavatskytall
All right Will you quit haunting thishouse If I call em off says Bill
Thump thump says Madame Blavatskys tall
To make it short bow we talked withthat ghost for an hour Madame BUvatakystall lining out his answsra until the ghostpromised to go and do his haunting somewhtre
night we the Headless Hessian and
It proper The dogs treed him byhis horses legs Of course the
nips went right through but still It pesteredhim and up a tree they went
Seems kind of funny that a horse evena ghost horse climbed a tree but thatwhat be And Madams Blavafekythumped against the trunk of the
while the Horseman promised tothe Island of Manhattan
By that time Bill wouldnt hays Uadedthat gray cur Msdnme for Cham-
pion Dovecote Emperor But the jolt wascoming
All of a sudden them seemed tolose the power of seeing altogetherTheyd lay by the fire at night and chawhence and sleep jut like any other dogsThey got the habit of wagging theirand barking and even eyes didntlook as big and sad as they used to
I Three times Bill and I took am outhouses that wa haunted just andnever got a smell of a ghost The dogs
just curled up In the corner and slept orran out to tbe gate to bark at
Bill knowed something was wrong buthe couldnt figure what it was Bo finallyhe went to Mme Parkin tblsUte writingttfdlum who used to give him wonderfulcommunications from his dead relatives
Themedium raised a spirit right off
ind Bill got a communication on the
that I It by This is bow it
This Is to that order of tbeExecutive Council no allied our
hounds They areAnd was signed by the origInal
Madame swesry of tileProtective Union
Bill kept them spook hound till theydied of ass a great oneof em would Kit a little m of seeing

BY THEOLD CIRCUS MAN
Difficulties of Finding Steeping Accoiamodatioru for the
GiantThe only great giant ever got
any really comfortable sleeping accom-modation when the show movingfrom one point to another by night saidthe old circus man was when we happened-to strike a canal
lit was all right when we were haltedanywhere say for a week or even for over-night for there he slept In hU own sleeping
tent specially designed and builtfor him that was something like a canvastunnel Of course wealwaysoarrledaloaghls-own private travelling bed which was ofample width and made in that couldbe put together in and so IA
his sleeping tent be could b quitecomfortable But when we were actuallymoving the giant was likely to have a hardtime of It at night
Ktllroads were not so many In thosedays and even it there bad been one every-where we wanted to go hed have had toride in a box oar and that wouldnt havebeen either pleasant or for himand so night on the road was likely to be amighty uripleasant time for the gIant
We did use to rig up a tort of a make-shift bed for him of with hla mattresses on them on polethe ends of the planks renting on thewhich the was carried
were all the time workingor the he on them on
country roads was always something feardidnt so on the
always meant a hard time for the giantexcept when we struck a canal along ourroute and then the WM la clover
we used to charter a canal boatfor the giants special use and on the deckof that boat we set up hissleeping tent with inside put together
his regular sectionalof the we were a trifle narrowthat were not so wide on tleck ait
tent would be when It was setplenty of room for It to stand in with Its
we woulddraw the tent In a little at the sides
along the bottom and there WM alwaysample room for bed inside
Into his tent anti onto hisown comfortable bed on the deck of a canalboat bo could an a matter of fact sleep
about as comfortably an he could ingreat In his own two
story room in his house in winterquarters
was no twitting or jolting on this
and quietly and smoothly its ownwater came
a near to being an Ideal sleeping place usanybody was
more than satisfied when we couldmove him nt night by canal boat
And we used to strike nuoh chancesoftener than might think for there weremore canals then or were more usedIn those before the common intro-duction everywhere of railroads And soin summer thewhere we could tent regularly-for him and all the giant used to getwith comparative comfort-
It was winter when he had tosleep indoors that we used to have thereal trouble finding sleeping accommoda-tion that is of and we
hint out but one or two winterthat account Sometimes in
the smaller those days as I gueMIve told to to take tworooms for him two connecting rooms with-a door between anti stretch line of cotsatongin the two rooms tImebetween maklnga most uncomfortable bedfor him And sometimes when we couldnteven find like that he had to sleep-on down in a bowlingmaking a bed not much more comfortable
Into two roomsAnd so we had to give up taking time
on tbe road In winter an an attraction byhinuelf showing In halls on account of
quarters for mind thereafter hespent the winters most com-
fortably shows winter quartersbeard the great man say
more than once when we were oflife on the road that he never slept morecomfortably anywhere than he whenwe to a canal boat

In those day stud poker was a gameIn favor and particularly with
king night Harry engaged-In a game of stud poker In the old Com-
bination gambling house at the bead of Mainstreet In this city and although he was un-
fortunate at flrAt tbe cards finally favoredhim and when the game broke up be wasnearly S2SOOO winner-
