Palsy's Little Dog.
1JY IIDWIX It. TIIAITOX.
H was only a man, a boy, ami a do,
They came into Jefferson Market Police,
Court and quietly tool; teats in the baeli
part of the dimly lighted, gloomy loom,
wlieie tliu shailows always make It seem
as tluiuyh tlieie never was such a thing
as sunshine In till the woiid.
'"They h.ne some friend amor.g these
miserable prisoners," 1 thouuht. "and
hao come to sec what the judge will do
with them." ' '.. '
Then 1 noticed that a policeman had
followed them In, and was sitting close
b.v.
'Oil, yes,' I said to mvfeU; 'lliat boy
stole the ting to sell to Ihe dog-catchers,
and the polieemm caught him. His
father e.ime along to &ec what Is done
with hhn iiethaps to testify thai hU
child Is Incorrigible, and to ask that
ho ho senl lt some institution till He is
of age.'
1 wasn't sure from where I sat,, but I
thought 1 taw the boy tiali bis list Into
his tyes unco or twice. Of cottr.se he
wassoiry lie bad got into trouble, the
moat hardened criminals feel sorry for
that. Hut why did he hold thu little
dog so close to him all the time?
Would a hoy waul to hug a dog that
was slolt il?
Patsy Murphy!' the fieri; called, In
a IniKl voice. All the wretched men
and women had been disposed of; the
pri.-oner's dock was empty. Tito judge
lay back In bis big aim chair, and
yawned-as though glad he was so nearly
through with the morning's business.
He looked as If bo had been up latu the
night before, and was bored with the
bother of having lo say, 'Ten days,' or
'Thirty days," so many times.
I 'Patsy Miuphy!' thu clerk called
again, still bunier, and In a harsher
tone, as though it was a personal griev
ance that prisoners should not boh up
befote him like a Jack-ln-a-box tint In
stant lie wanted them.
'Coming sir,' said the policemen, and
I saw be was leading the way for tlio
man, tlio boy, nnd the dog. As they
came to the railing tint (.eparates the
spectators' seats from the wide space In
front of the judge, there was a single
step down, and then, as thu boy gently
guided the man by taking his arm, I
saw, for the llrst time, that the man was
blind.
'Wrong, after all,' I again thought.
This is a professional beggar. Tbo
boy and the dog go around with hhn.
There Is a law against mendicants.
and that Is why they were brought
here.'
The f.io of tlio man had a sad, pa
thetic loolt, as do the faces of all blind
persons. Tlio boy's clothes wero poor,
nnd covered with many patches. His
face and hands were dirty; but It was
not a bad face. There are f.ome clean-
focus tb,1L urtt hud. nn.l snlilo illi-tv f.mna

face. There were muddy streaks In the
tllrt leading from the eyos down over
the cheeks.
'Well?' said the judge, Inquiringly,
turning from somo visitors with wltom

A short, frowning-faced fellow step
ped briskly lo the Imr. He had short,

nervous eyes, teerlng out from an tin
j dcrbrttsh of shaggy, (Very eylHvT5, glv-
Ing him a particularly tepuMve Iok.
'Well, joti tee, your honor, Mr.
Judge '
'Stopt sahl the Judge. "What's
you name?'
'llelurleli Schwab, and Mr. Judye,
your honor
'Stop, stop!' mIiI the judge anin.
'Aru you thu eoiiiplalnant In this ease"'
'I should miv I was. I'm a letter
carrier, your honor, Mr. Judfe, ami I
have to go Into the yard of the tene
ment house where thete Murplijs live.
They've got a dangerous, yelping cttr
that acts like a mad. tlojs. Yesterday
aflcrnooii I bad to go through the yard
lo deliver a tetter for a woman on the
second floor, and when I was wtislng
penecably along, tbo Murphy' dog Hew
at me and hit me on the leg,nnd I had nil
I could do to get away; and what I
want, Mr. Judge, our honor, Islohavo
the dangerous brute killed, according
to law.
Schwab had talked so fast he was out
of breath, while bts stubby red holr
stood out slialghtcr and fiercer than
ever.
'Are you Palsy Murphy?' asked the
judge, turning to the blind man.
,'No. voir honor; Palsy's my boy.
The dog belongs to him. It Is n kindly
dispositional little thing, your honor,
and she's just like a child in tlio house.
Kvery one likes her, your honor, except
tills man. She never banned a baby,
let alone a grow u man'
'Don't you believe him, your honor,
.Mr. Judge,' broke lu Schwab. 'It
ain't '
'Keep quiet, will you?' said the judge,
sternly. 'You've told jour story once.
Where, is Patsy?'
'Here I am, judge,' said Pals-, brave
ly choking down a sob.
He was so small, standing close under
the front of tho desk, that the Judge
hadn't noticed him.
'Oil, there you are! And what have
you tofity to this man's story about
your mad dog?'
"i'aln't true judge. It's that letter
cat t ier that's mail. My dog nln't. You
can't make my dog mad she ain't that
kind,' choking down another sob as ho
spoke.
'Ilut this man says your dog Hew at
him and bit him ycslcrday.'
'It's a mean, wicked lie. judge. I'll
tell jou how Itwas. This Dutchman'
'Your honor, Mr. Judge, I won't be
called names by that hrat.evcn In court 1'
snapped Schwab, angrily. '
'Pe more careful, Patsy,' said the
judge. 'Say 'this gentleman.' '
Hut he ain't no gentleman, judge.
My dog and tno was plajing mo and
my dog and Chuck O'llrien In our
yard, when hu como lit,' pointing to
schwab. 'There was plenty of room
for hhn, but he was hound to go right
where, we was or nowhere. 'Git outer
here, you dirty bundle of rags,' says be;
and with that he up and lets lly a kick.
I got outer the way, but the dog caught
his boot. She thought he was going for
nit; again, she did judge, nnd then she
snapped at him onct just otict, judge
and he got out like a streak, cussing
nnd swearing he have us all took up.
You can't do nothing to a dog for just
snapping onct when a red-headed
Dutchman h'lsts her with his boot, can
yon. judge? And if I'd been a man I'd
a" licked him, judge '
'Stori, stop, Patsy,' said tho jtidge.bitt
not as though ho was angry while
Schwab luoked as though he was ready
to hurst, and It was all the policeman
could do to keep him quiet.
'Please, your honor, don't tnlnd
I Patsy,' said the blind man, with a slight
tremble lu Ills tones, 'lie loves thodng
and to he foigels where ho Is. I will
he responsible for tho dog, your hpnor,
and keep her shut up or mtuzlcd all the
ti me. If she ever bites a human being
I'll have her shot myself.'
'What have you done with the dog?'
asked the judge.
'I've got her here, judge,' exclaimed
Patsy.
'Here?'
li'ith lh.it Patsy pulled tho little dog
out from his jacket, where ho had been
lucked away all this w bile, at the same
tiuio Inking oil a leather muzzle from
the tiny black nose. Tho muzzle was
new; and for it the boy had thAC very
morning spent tlio pennies lie had been
saving for six months. Hn was sure
the muzzle would convince the judge, If
nothing else would, that Ids dog would
not be allowed to harm any one, cen If
she wanted to, and so he had gladly
ttiado tho sacrifice of his entire fortune.
After removing the muzzle Patsy
hoisted the. dog up on t'bo judge's desk.
Schwab turned ledderin the face than
ever. Ho had not known that the dog
was In the court room.
The. dog herself was a shaggy, friend
ly little thing, no larger than a good
sized house, cat. Up thero on the
judge's desk, all alone, waiting for her
sentence, she looked smaller. Did she
know that, her 11 fo was In tbo bauds of
tho bald-headed man sitting there? I'm
afraid she didn't have an Idea of It, It
was only another man to make friends
with not a terrible judgo to fear. And
she wagged her tall, aud looked straight
at him wltli her big brow n eyos, saying,
as plainly as ever a littlo dog could say
It:
" es, I do like you; won't you please
like me to?"
"So this is tho savage brute, the man
eater that flew at you like mad, nnd
from which you barefv escaped with
' your life. Is II?' askod the iuihje. turn
lug to Schwab. "Y'ou must be a brave
man.
She don't look to ine like a very
dangerous animal.'
Tne little dog wagr 1 her tad harder
thin ever, ' If to show her thanks for
the good opinion of the judge.
'Ami she ain't one hit dang'rous,
Jthbjfr,' sahl Pattv, eagerly, hope revlv
Inf. Ym are sure they haven't changed
tlm dog that thin Is really tho blood
thirsty benst that nearly chewed you
up?' continued the Judge, looking nt
Schwab.
Schwab nodded his head as much rs
te say, 'Ye.'
'On the testimony given, I sen no
reason to order the dog shot,' said the
Judge. 'That can only bo done, under
tho New Code, when the complainant
has t a kern oath that the dog has actually
bitten him.'
. JThen I'll swear to thai, your honor,
Mr. Judce,' .said Schwab, wltti an evil
eye on I'atsy, who, by reaching up a
JIttle, inannged to furtively pa
t, In i
protecting, Oon't-be-afrald sort of way,
Ids little tlot on the desk.
,'Yott need to bo careful what vou
swear to, Schwab,' said the jttdge.warn
Ingly. 'Perjury doesn't pay even to get
revenge on a small boy and hit pet dog.
Do you still Insist on swearing that this
dog bit you?'
'Yes, I do,' said Schwab, sullenly.
Then he took tho solemn oath that
swore away the llltlo dog's life.
The judge looked all the tltno as
though he was sure Schwab had svveni
to a lie, as hn said:
"Tho law leaves me no choice lu such
a case. The dog mttit '
'Oh, dear Mr. Judge! don't say It!'
sobbojl Patsy, patting the dog harder
than ever. She had turned around and i
was licking his hand, looking down
with wonder and almost human pity, as
If to s-iy: 'What can be the matter
with my master? He Is such a jolly
boy, always full of fun and frolic, and
now he Is full ot nothing but sobs and
tears.'
'You must not Interrupt mc,' said the
judge, In a not unkindly way. 'If I
could save the dog lor you I would, but
tho law, which 1 have to obey, leaves
mo no choice. I in snnv for you, but
your doj must bo shot.'
As hn spoke the fatal wonls he put
out his hand to lift the dug down to
Patsy, and taking It its a friendly ncl,
he gratefully llekoJ the judge's hand.
'Oh, please dear, kind, good Mr.
Judge!" Patsy ngaln burst out. neither
thinking nor caring about the judge's
previous warning. 'She only tried to
pertect hint she didn't snap because he
kicked her she did It for love of mc
and If It's anybody oughter git punished
it's me. Oh, can't you send mo to the
Island for a year, Judge or lock mo up
here or let mo work for you I can do
lots or anything and take back what
yon raid?'
'Olllecr, tnke thtvso people away, nnd
look after the dug jourself," said the
judge, in a rather husky voice, as he
turned away. 1 even thought I saw him
hastily dash his hand near his eyes, hut
perhaps 1 was mistaken. Schwab had
already sin aked out.
A Hie Judge turned nway. Palsy for
the (list time fully realized thai there
was no appeal, no hope. Ho hugged
the little dog close to his heart, aud
coycrcd tho shaggy face with quick, hot
kisses, patting her faster and faster.then
hugging her closer and closer, as she. in
return, licked his face with sp.iimolle
eagerness. Did sho know?
'Come, young feller, there's no use In
taklu' on about It,' said tho policeman.
'You'll have to get out of here. You
can get another dog easy enough,'
Then ho started lo take tho dog, but
evidently thought better of It, and sim
ply said :
'Come on, now.'
The policeman led tho way, helping
the blind man along. And so they pas
sed up the aisle and out of the dismal
court room, Patsy hugging and klwhiK
the little dog, und sobbing as though
bU heal t would break the little dog
licking away the tears, and giving piti
ful little cries of sympathy, as though
she, too, at last understood.
They hat) no more than disappeared
ihan I thought. 'Perhaps I can save
Patsy's little dog. I will try the effect
of money on that policeman.'
Seizing my hat, I hurried after them.
As I reached the duor I hoard a pistol
shot.
Outside, the policeman was Just put.
ting his revolver back In his pocket. The
blind m ill was loaning wearily against a
telegraph iolc, with a scared look In his
palo face, tears dropping from hU sight
less eyes. Down lu the gutter, In a
miserable heap, was a little boy hugging
the dead body of a little dog.

'He' got to hangl'
Tho one narrow street of the frontier
town was lilted with a surging crowd of
excited men. There were Indian light
ers, scouts, gamblers, tramps, miners,
speculators everything and everybody.
Kvery town lias Its bully every fron
tier town. Dig Jim was the bully of Hill
City. He could drink more, curse loud
er, shoot qulckcr.and start a row sooner
than any other man. When ho shot
Limber Joe It was a stand-off. It was
rough ngainst rough. Whoever went
l under the town would be the gainer,
! The death of his second victim brought
i him a certain respect, for ho had given
, the man a fair show, There was a limit
to the number of men one might shoot
In Hill City. It was three times and
out. Big Jim had killed his third.
Two hundred iLen all excited some

lo te 1Q ibe place,
'Firing him out!'
'He's got to hang!'
Miring out the bully ami coward I'
Thctc was a rush bul It was checked.
Men had pistols and knives In their
hands, bul tlio sight nf Dig Jim with a
"navy" In each hand cooled their ardor.
A life for a life Is no revenge. Thcvlled
when they called hhn a bully. Uttllles
sttlkeand run or bluster nnd dare not
strike. They lied when Ihev called htm
acowuitl. Cowards do not remain to
face death.
lllg .llin advanced a little. The crowd
fell back. He stood nt the door and
surveyed the mob as coolly as another
man might have looked up at the pine
covered crest of Carter's Peak. The
mob grew quiet. There were two hun
dred right hands clutching deadly
weapons, but not a hand moved. Two
hundred to one Is appalling odds, but
tbn one was master. Seeming to face
every man. of them seeming to cover
every breast with the black muzzles of
his revolvers the man backed away up
the road Into the darkness, out of their
sight and hearing. He said not a word.
There wasn't a whisper from the crowd
until he had disappeared. Then men
drew long breaths of relief. A tcrtlble
menace hail passed away.
Out Into tho darkness do'vvn the
rough road oyer tho rude bridge, and
there Dig Jim put up Ids revolvers,
turned his face, square to the West, and
stepped out without a look hack at the
camp. It was ten miles to Harvey's
ISend. Men driven from tho one camp
took refuge In the other. The half way
landmark was a hit of a valley skirted
by a creek. Wayfarers who wero jour
neying by team many times halted
here. On this night there was a lone
wagon. Under tho canvas cover slept a
mother and four children, llcstlng
against tho wheel was the husband nnd
f.itlici, his eyes peering Into darkness,
his cars drinking In every sound.
lllg Jim list! not reached the valley
yd when the still night air was rent
with war-whoops, tho crack of rifles,
Ihe screams of a woman and her child
ron. Indians had discovered tho lone
and almost defenseless family. There
were live scalps to adem their lodges.
The bully and tho coward had not been
discovered. He could Und a safe hid
Ing place. Did he?
A half-dozen screaming, yelling fiends
were dancing about tho wagon shoot
lug striking dodging closing In on
one while man who somehow escaped
their blows and bullets, when there was
cheer and a rush, and the Navys began
to crack. Sixty seconds later dead
silence had fallen upon the valley.
One two three dead Indians, The
Immigrant leaned against tho wagon,
faint with a wound lu Ids head. The
wife looked out with an nvvful terror at
Tier heart. Pullets had chipped and
splintered wheel and hotly.
"Who are you?" asked tho Immi
grants as a figure approached from the
darkness,
'lllg Jim.'
'You have saved in from a massacre
'Yes, It was well that 1 happened
along! House up the lire, for there Is
tio further danger.
When the blaze caught the frcsl
fagots and lighted up the little valley
the Immigrant counted the dead In
dlans again one iwo three. He till-n
ot with extended hand, but big Jim had
tlepailed. Next day, when men from
Hill's and Harney's found his dead body
beside the rocks a half mile away, with
live wounds which had lit Ids life-blood
out, they whispered to each other:
'We thought we knowed him, hut vvc
didn't.
