TORdE'S THICK DOG.

BY W. A. CURTIS.

"What a symphony in yellow I" ex-claimed Mr. Morris, as he and) hisyoung son 6wept around a curve of (heroad* clinging to the mountain side."I must have n snap shot at them. Iwish I were a painter instead of a pho-tographer, to get the colors;" and healghtcd from his bicycle and began toparley with Torge Halvorscn, to getaim and his dog to pose before thecamera.

Torgc Halvorsen's hair was palegold; golden-brown freckles studdedHia fair face. The original color of thecoat ho wore, one made over from apaternal garment worn an unknownnumber of seasons, could not be con-}ectured, but now it was of a full yel-ow, closely matching his hair. Hisonce brown overalls struck a loudernote in the yellow hue to which theyhad faded, and the hide of the littledog at hh side was still brighter yel-low, scarcely to be told from the gar-lands of yellow daisies entwined aboutits body. In the immediate fore-ground was the buff herbage of earlyfall, full of the last flowers of the year—yellow, yellow all. Back of the pairrose the maple-covered mountainside, bright in the gold that followsthe first frosts of the central west,where maples shimmer softly in gen-tle golds, and never flame in scarletsand crimsons.

"That's a homely dog you havethere," said Italpn Morris, full of thepopular prejudice against the "yaller

f* clog," a prejudice fed by unnumberedjoke&anu which refuses to believe thatany canine graces of appearance auddispoeitifMi can be circumscribed by a

yellow hide.

"He's a good dog, anyway," repliedTorgc Halvorsen; "and I think he ispretty, lie's smart, too. I bet youthero ain't a smarter little dog in thiscountry."

"Let's see him perform," saidBalph, loftily.

"All right," said Torge. "Ready,Tiggum!" and instantly Tiggum as-sumed an air of alert attention andthen proceeded to go through a scries

of performances which Ralph wascompelled to acknowledge he hudnever seen equaled. Tiggum stoodon his hind legs; lie danced, he leapedover his master's arm and then backagain. He lay still and snored in coun-terfeited sleep; he lay still in counter-

feited death, and at the word camejoyfully to life and chased his tail.Hecarrieda piece of paper to the fence

and returned with another piece pre-

viously placed there, showing how hecould bedepended upontocarry letters

to the post office, pos: them, and re-turn with the mail, lie ran after

Sticks that were thrown. Sticks were

thrown and he sat, onivejring, await-

ing permission to go after them, lfe

daught sticks as tney were tossed to

him, and again being told not to catch

them, sat in pretended indifference

whilo they were thrown within easy

reach of his jaws.

"He's a wonderful dug indeed,"

said Mr. Morris, a« the exhibition was

concluded by Tiggum being told thatthere was nothing more to be done,

whereupon ho raced and tore in circles

and ellipses and other geometrical

8gurcs for the space of some three

minutes.

"I wish you. would buy him for me,"whispered Ralph to his father.

"1*11 give you ten dollars for that

flog, will you sell him for that?"
