THE DEVELOPMENT OF A POP.
By ERNEST SETON.THOMPSON.
Chink was lust old enough to think
Mmself a very remarkable little dog;
.id so he was, but not In the way he
fondly imagined. lie was neither
fprce nor dreadful, strong nor swift,
hut he was one of the noisiest, best
natnred. silliest pups thnt ever
thrw"d his master's boots to bits.
His master, Hill Aubrey, was an old
mount nlncer who was camped below
Carnei Peak In the Yellowstone Park.
This is i' a vprv qulct corner- far
from the usual line of travel, and
Bill's camp, before ours came, would
have been a very lonely place but for
Ms companion, this irrepresaible,
woollv-coated little dog.
Chink was never still for five min
utes; Indeed, ho would do anything
he was told to do except keep still.
He was always trying to do some ab
jurd or impossible thing, or if he did
stu-mut the possible he tiBunlly
spoiled his best effort by his way of
going about it. He once spent a
whole morning trying to run up a
tall, straight pine tree in whose
branches was a snickering pine
squirrel.
The darling ambition of his life for
some weeks was to catch one of the
plcket-pi:i gophers that swarmed on
the prairie .'.limit the camp. Those
little anhnab have a trick of sitting
bolt upright o" "'eir hind legs, with
their paws held done in, ho that a dis
tance they look c::actly li'.:e picket
pins. Often when we wont out to
picket our horses for tho night we
would go toward a gopher, thinking
It was a picket-pin already driven in,
and would find out the mistake only
when it dived into the ground with a
defiant chirrup.
Chink had determined to catch one
of these gophers the very first day ho
came into the valley. Of course he
went about it in his own original way,
doing everything wrong end first, as
usual. This, his master said, was due
to a streak of Irish in his make-up.
So Chink would begin a most elab
orate stalk a quarter of a mile from
the gopher. After crawling on his
breast from tussock to tussock for a
hundred yards or so, the nervous
strain became too great, and Chink,
getting too much excited to crawl,
would rise on his feet and walk
straight toward the gopher, which
would now be sitting up by its hole,
fully alive to the situation.
After a minute or two of this very
open approach, Chink's excitement
would overpower all caution. He
would begin running, and at the last,
Just as he should have done his finest
stalking, he would go bounding and
barking toward the gopher , which
would sit like a peg of wood till the
proper moment, then dive below with
t derisive chirrup, throwing with its
hind feet a lot of sand right into
Chink's eager, open mouth.
Day after day this went on with
level sameness, and still Chink did
not give up. Perseverance, he seemed
to believe, niUBt surely win in the end,
as indeed it did. For one day he
made an unusually elaborate stalk
after an unusually fine gopher, car
ried out all his absurd tactics, finish
ing with the graud, boisterous charge,
and actually caught his victim; but
this time It happened to be a wooden
Plcket-pln. Any one who doubta that
a dog knows when he has made a fool
of himself should have seen Chink
that day as ho sheepishly sneaked out
of sight behind tho tent.
But failure had no lasting effect on
Cn iik. There was a streak of grit as
well as Irish in him that carried him
through every reverse, and nothing
eould dash his good nature. He was
'wa;s up and doing with the max
imum of energy and the minimum of
discretion, delighted as long as he
could be into everything.
Every passing wagon and horse
man and grazing calf had to bo
chovM, and u the cat from
guara-Uouse strayed by, Chink felt
nat it was a solemn duty ho owed to
base h th CUt aad hlaao" t0
chase her home at frightful speed.

it was nothing to tho rare which be
gan when the coyote turned on his
pursuer.
Chink realized all nt once that he
had been lured Into the power of a
Tartar, and strained every muscle
to get back to camp. The coyote was
swifter and soon overtook the dog,
nipping him first on one side, then on
the other, with mnnlfest glee, as if
ho were cracking a series of good
Jokes at Chlnk"s expense.
Chink yelped and howled and ran
his hardest, but hud no respite from
his tormentor till he dashed right
into camp; and we, I am afraid,
laughed with the coyote, and the
puppy did not got the sympathy he
deserved for his trouble in doing as
he was told.
One more experience like this on
a smaller scale was enough to dampen
even Chink's enthusiasm. He de
cided to let 'that coyote very much
alone In future.
Not so the coyote, however; he had
discovered a new and delightful
amusement. Ho came dally now and
hung about the camp, knowing per
fectly well that no ono would dare
to shoot him. Indeed, tho lock of
every giw In the party was sealed
up by the Government officials, and
soldiers were everywhepu on watch
to enforce the laws.
Thenceforth that coyote lay In wait
for poor Chink, and sought every op
portunity to tease him. Tho little
dog learned that if he went one
hundred yards from camp alone, the
coyote would go after him, and bite
and chase him right back to his mas
ter's tent.
Day after day this went on, until
at last Chink's life was made a mis
ery to him. He did not dare now to
go fifty yards from the tent alone,
Chink forgot nil hlg own fears, ana
turned ca the animal like a little
demon.
The !PA8M feel the force of right
and wrong, Thry know moral cour
age it ml cowardice. The moral force
was nil with the little, scared dog, and
both animals seemed .to know it. The
coyote backed off, growling savagely,
and vowing. In coyote fashion, to tear
that dog to ribbons very soon. All
the same, ho didn't venture to enter
the tent, ua he clearly had intended
doing.
Then began a literal siege, for the
coyote came back every little while
and walked round tho tent, scratching
contemptuously with his hind feet,
or marching up to the open door to
be met at once, face to face, by poor
little Chink, who, really half-dead
with fear, was brave again as soon as
he saw any attempt to Injure the
things In his charge.
All this time Chink had nothing to
eat. He could slip out and get a
drink at tho near-by stream once or
twice a day, but he could not get a
meal in that way. He could have
torn a hole In the sack and eaten
some bacon, but he would not, for
that was in trust, or he could have
watched his chance to desert his post,
and sneaked off to our camp, where
he would have been sura of a good
meal. But no, adverslt had devel
oped the true dog In him. He would
not betray his master's trust in any
way. He was ready to die at his post,
If need be, while that master was
away indulging In a drunken carouse.
For four days and four nights of
misery did this heroic little dog keep
his place, and keep tent and Btuff
from the coyote that ho -held in mor
tal terror.
On tho fifth morning old Aubrey
had awakened to the fact that he
wasn't at home, and that his camp
In the mountains was guarded only
by a small dog. Ho was tired of his
spree now, and he got on his horse
and set out over the hills, sober, but
very shaky. When he was about
half-way on the trail it suddenly
dawned on his clouded brain thnt he
had left Chink without any food.
"Hope tho little boast hain't spoiled
all my bacon." he thought, and he
pressed on moro briskly till he cariie
to the ridge commanding a view of
his tent. There It was, and there at
tho door, exchanging growls and
snapping at each other, were the big,
fierce coyote and poor little Chink.

Aphorisms ol Admiral Reveillere.
DRAW great consolation from thinking that we are de
scended from monkeys. Without this Incontestable proof
of progress I should have great difficulty in believing in
it while I look on the spectacle of national and interna
tional folly. In assigning an animal origin to us, Darwin
reveals the true meaning of the doctrine of original sin.
I have lived in intimate Intercourse with savages, and I
do not consider civilized men to be happier. Cannibals have
excellent qualities. A man may be none the less a fine fellow
for being a cannibal. When I see a certain newspaper on the
table or in elegant hands I ask myself uneasily whether
human ferocity has sensibly diminished since men roasted
their enemies and ate them.
A man without ideals is a beast minus Instinct.
Egoism Is love of self without respect for self.
Justice Is tha recognition in others of all the rights that
one claims for one's self.
We know not whence we come or where we go, but all
that we know lends us to the belief that our origin is very
low and our destiny very high.
The strongest of the faculties Is the imagination; the
most useful tho judgment. The union of Imagination and
& judgment is genius.
and even if he wont with us when we
rode, that fierce and impudent coyote
was sure to turn up and come along
trotting close beside or behind,
watching for a chance to worry poor
Chink and spoiling all his pleasure
in the ramble, but keeping just out
of reach of our quirts, or a little
farther off when we stopped to pick
up some stones.
One day Aubrey moved his camp
a mile up-stream, and we saw less of
tne coyote tor tne reason tnai ne
moved a mile up-stream, too, and
like all bullies who nre unopposed,
grew more Insolent end tyrannical
every day, until poor little Chink's
life became at last a veritable reign
of terror, at which his master merely
laughed.
Aubrey gave it out that he had
moved camp .to get better horse-feed.
It soon turned out, however, that be
wanted to be alone while he enjoyed
the contents of a whisky-flask that he
had obtained somewhere; hut one
flask was a mere starter for him.
The second day he mounted his horse,
said, "Chink, you watch .the ranch,"
and rods away over the mountains
to the nearest saloon, leaving Cblnk
obediently curled up on some sack
ing. Now, with all his puppylsh silli
ness, Chink was a faithful watch-dog,
and his master knew that he would
take care of the tent as well as be
could.
Late that afternoon a passing
mountaineer came along. When he
was within shouting distance be
stopped, a. 1. customary, and
shouted:
"Hello there, Bill! OBIll!"
But getting no answer, ho went up
to the door, and there' was met by
"an odd-looking purp with his bristles
all on endl" and Chink, for of course
It was he, warned him In many fierce
growls to keep away.
Tho mountaineer understood the
situation and went on. Evening came
and no master to relieve Chink, who
was now getting very hungry.
There was soma bacon In the tent
wrappod in a bag, but that was
.acred. Hi. master had told him to
"watch It," and Chink would have
tarved rather than touch It.
He ventured out on the flat In hope
ot finding a mouio or something to
stay the pang, ot hunger, when sud
denly he was pounced on by that
hrute of a eoyote, and the old chase
was repeated as Chink dashed back to
the tent.
There' a change came over him.
The remembrance of his duty seemed
suddenly to alter him and brace him
up. Just to the cry of her kitten will
turn timid cat into a tiger.

"Wal, I be darned!" exclaimed
Aubrey. "I forgot all about that
blasted coyote! Poor Chink, he must
'a' had a mighty tough time! Won
der he ain't all chawed up an' the
camp in tatters."
There he was, bravely making his
last stand. His legs wero tottering
under him with fear and hunger, but
he still put on his boldest face, and
was clearly as ready as ever to die in
defense of the camp.
The cold, gray eyes of tho moun
taineer took in this part of the situa
tion at tho first glance, and when he
galloped up and saw the untouched
bacon, he realized that Chink had
eaten nothing since he loft. When
tha puppy, trembling with fear and
weakness, crawled up and looked In
his face and licked his hand as much
as to say, "I've done what you told
mo," It was too much for old Aubrey.
The tears stood in his eyes as he
hastened to get food for tho little
hero.
Then he turned to him and said,
"Chink, old pard, I've treated you
dirty, an' you always treated me
white. I'll never go on another spree
without taking you along, Chink, an'
I'll treat you as white as you treated
me, if I know how. 'Taln't much
more I kin do for you, pard, since ye
don't drink, but I reckon I kin lift the
biggest worry out o' yer life, and I'll
do it. too."
Then from the ridgo-pole he took
down the pride ot his heart, his treas
ured repeating rifle, and regardless ot
consequence, he broke the Govern
ment sealB, was eagles, red tape and
all, and went to the door.
The coyote was sitting off a little
way with a Mephtstophelian grin on
his face as usual, but the rifle rang,
and Chink's reign of terror was at an
end.
