"Love Me, Love My Dog."
The little bow-wow took an iiti
menso Interest tn mo at first tight. He
was such a poor nnd friondloxs
creature, nnd it wns such a cold and
blustering night Hint I lind not the
heart to shut the door in Ids face, ns
he stood wtigging hit tail in tlio ttrcam
of light from the open hall and look
ing npon mo appealingly, with big,
innocent brown eyes, from under a
silky fringe of hair that appeared to
hint of Skye descent, though rather
more than less remote.
Yes, ho is certainty mongrel, this
Artful Dodger of initio; perhaps if ho
hnd been of good honest Skye strain
this lalo could nevor have been told of
him.
However, In he canio with mo that
night and out ho went wiih me the
next evening, for the first of our mys
terious walks abroad.
It was only round a conplo of cor
ners on an errand lo the green gro.
cei's about Hie morrow's list which
had not property boon made up; but
when I pulled my glove off at the
home door to grapple the better with
tlio difficulties of the latch-key, I foil
a cold nose thrust into my hand nay,
mora than a cold nose nn apple,
which, so red and glossy ns it wns, 1
was quite tnro my provident friend
hnd selcolcd from the very basket of
applos I had just ordered home from
under Hie green grocer's counter.
That was excusable enough, per
haps. But what followed duy by day
exhausted all my atock of apologies
for my poor klopiomaniao.
For day by day there was some
thing of my neighbors' goods laid at
my door. One morning it would be
prima beefsteak fresh from tlio
butcher's stall; another it would be a
dainty handkerchief thrust into my
haud as we walked together along
Chostnnt streol. I soon learned to
eschew the shopping quaner, how
ever, when we two wont out togotlier.
But my Artful Dodger was too much
for me. Ono snowy day all Hie
noighbars' doormats were piled up in
our vcstibule,and my poor little fellow
crept out from among thorn, wagging
bis tail wiih a delighted conscious
ness of merit, as 1 mumo up the
stops.
Some Fugin had trained him; there
was not a doubt of that. It was tho
part of a Christian moralist to reclaim
bim, not to turn him adrift iu bis
evil ways, I arguod. I seemed, how
ovor, to be iho only Christian in the
honse; or indeed, hi the whole block.
I funey they would have left my poor
little follow lo go to bad aliogotbor, in
another neighborhood remote from
tbeirs. But then he nevor looked up
at them, with bis big, innocent brown
oyes brimming with love and trust, as
ha did at mo.
s -Lovo me, love my dog,' " I said
to Hugh one evonlng, as I stood with
bim iu tlio vosiibate, and the Artful
Dodgor whined so pttoously on the
other side of the closod door that I
was obliged to let him out to walk
with ut. Thou I could feel myself
blush furiously, for though Cousin
Hugh and I wero well, it is bard to
ay what wo wore; but this unlucky
speech of mine was certainly the first
word of love that bad passed between
as.
I was glad lo go down on my knees
to the little follow leuping about mo
to escape the eyes of the big fol
low standing over me, for I felt
lure there was a laugh Iu them.
'Wliou your dog is as honest as you
are, Kitty," said Hugh, "I rauy per
haps bogiu to love him us"
'As I do?'' I answered, ny dog
aud I springing dowu the steps to
gether giyly. '! wouldn't advise
you to; evil communications corrupt
good mauuors, to quote still another
proverb; and my Artful Dodger may
toaub me as iiiuoli as I have failed 'n
lesiulilng bim, poor boy I"
At dial rate, is as well I am taking
you both to a poor quarter of the
e.ty," said Hugh. Aud Indeed I felt
that the dog might help to cheer the
little crippled lud be was taking me
to see.
It was not Hie first time Dr. Hugh
had rallied me oil to see some patient
of his. Elizabeth had a malicious
way of hinting ' that he had
me on probation at a model
doctor's wife. But Cousin Hugh and
I hnd been comrades ever since 1 could
remember; and when I was out of
rtach of Elizabeth's sharp tongue thore
was seldom anything to remind me
that we had not been boys together,
instead of girl and boy.
The one stop from the sublime to
the ridiculous is a short one In my
neighborhood, nnd we had taken it in
a turn round the corner from the
stately terraced street where wns my
home. The absurd littlo bjxes in
which the peoplo hero were housed
might be an iinprovincut on the great
tenements of other cities, but to take
them seriously as homes wns rather
d fflcnli. "That one yonder is a mora
goraiilum pot," said I, nodding with
a gosturo towards a liny red bow
window filled with those great rod
and green plants.
Of course, tliero was "dressmaking"
on the modest placard on the door)
and equally, of course, there Wat tlio
dressmaker's small, pale face at the
window, where the florid round
bunches of blossoms seemed to liavo
drained nil life and color from her.
"It is a caso of Uippacclnl's daugh
ter reversed," I suid. "Instead of
giving her tlioir bloom tlio flowers
have taken all bors lo themselves. I
never sco a big coarse liodge-row like
that one without knowing that tliero
a fading lily of a woman behind it
stitching and stitching her heart out.
Cannot you make an excuse, Dr.
Hugh? Mistake tho house, or some
thing, and let ns knock and see if our
faded lily won't como out?''
But just then Hie dooroponod; tho
dressniaskcr was lotting out a custom
er. Who or what I lust, was I never
heeded, for from whero we stood over
the way my dog had dashed across, up
the lew steps, and was fawning on
tlio little woman in u transport of
joy.
SI.e did not stoop to meet those eag
er caresses; thoso sharp littlo eantuo
cries of delighted seooguitioii hud no
response. Only, as wo enmo up, sho
inado a hurried, groping movement
for Hie handle of tho door as if alio
would have shut it in our faces. Hugh
was loo quick for lior. Ho stepped In
across the threshold, wliaro sho stood
leaning pale and quivering against tho
wall.
We owe it to oursolvos," he said,
to make some explanation. Of course
tlio dog is yours."
She made a hasty motion ot dis
claimer; but Hugh wout oui
"Of couno the dog it yours; we
have had him so long in our keeping
because he was found one night last
winter, aud this lady kindly let bim
come indoors with her out of tlio bii
lor weather. But we have uo idea of
keeping the little fellow from you
unless, Indeed, you would care to part
with him''
This last tentatively, for it bad not
escaped Hngh any moro than it bad
me, that as between dog and mistress
iho affection was certainly all on one
side. The little woman girl tho wat
ruilier liud retreated, sinking down
on the stoop boX'Siairs that almost
tilled up the tiny entry. The dog did
not feel himself repulsed, as we did;
but fell, dog-fashion, to kissing the
worn hands wiih which she covered
hnr face. It wns iu that same instant
that we beard a child's cry. She lot
her bauds fall together, the wedding
ring flashing out on the worn finger
and then for the first time noticing
me with a swifi sign she led the way
into the buck room.
The buby was just waking In his
cradle. She turned her white fuco
round on us in Iho doorway, as she
dioppod down on her knee beside
hi in. The dog went sniffing about
the cradlo, round and round, as if lie
could not understand, then stood
Irresolute, his brown eyes flashing in
quiry from Hie woman to mo.
"For the child's sake," she said.
"For the child's tako'
Site caught her breath in fright
ened, gasping way that brought the
doctor iu, Hugh to the fore.
Steady," bo said gently. "We
art not here to hurt you, but to soo
what can be done for you."
Sho pointed to the dog. "Only
take Dash away. Leave us two
alone."
At the sound of his name the dog
glaucod round at her, but at bur
vehement repellent gesture lie crept
nearer to me, lilt tali between bis
legs.
Poor Path! Mr poor., boot. Ar
fill D Mlgerl" I whispered, stooping to
pnt him. But Hugh was looking nt
tlio woman atteniively. ''I beg your
pnrrlnii, but I think I have seen you
before," he said.
Sho throw up hor hands with a
sharp cry. "I knew ill 1 kuew that
dog would ruin met"
"Then you tried to loso bim, to got
rid of hltn?'
She mado Hugh no answer, only
moked at bim half fearfully, half do
tiautly. "Como, Kitty," he said to mo,
'since the dog's owner is willing to
part with him we will lake hltn home
with us." Ho laid ft couple of bills
on His sewing-machine as bo spoke,
disregarding her gesture of refusal.
Otherwise we shall not feel that we
have a right to keep the dog," be said.
'And we will keep dim; he shall
never annoy you again, believe me."
He bowed to her respectfully as we
three went out, closing the door be
hind us, for she ucvor moved from
her knees boslde the cradle.
Of courso I askod Hugh what it nil
meant the moment wo wero out of
ear-shot, and I am afraid I was not in
a Tory amiable mood during tho walk
homo, because he would not answer.
The next day, however, he told me;
for the next day be went back to tlio
flower-pot of a house, and found the
littlo dressmaker bad lost herself to
Dash again.
'And I hoping you would be lioro
making your gowns, Kitty," he said
ruefully. Thnt was tho reason I
thought I had better not toll you her
story until you had gotten interested
iu the poor, young thing. Hut she
has vanished without a clew; and
Do you romembcr cousin Catharine's
writing to mo bore to look out for her
house last Summor, while you were
all out of town?"
'l remember matnmVs being wor
fled at hearing of so many burglaries
in town of empty houses."
"Precisely. Tliero was a gang, it
wns believed. At any rate, one of Hie
burglars was trncod lo bis homo by
means of his dog. Ho was not taken
without obstinate resistance; be got
bad wound, aud I wat called in as
tho nenrost doctor to stop tlio flow of
Mood bofore lie could bo removed.
Ho hud a pretty littlo homo; a pretty
littlo wife of his own, who, with s
baby of a few wooks in hor arms,
shrank atrickon with shamo and hor
ror iu tlio furthest corner of tho room.
It seems she never bad so much as
dreamed of her husband's 'business,'
which took him so oftou away from
hor at night. Sho appourod to shrink
away from him as if he was an abso
lute stranyer lo her, as if bo could not
be tho nvin she had known. What she
might havo done further I don't know
for the follow died of his wound.
"He tore the bandage off on the first
opportunity and just bled his 11 fo
away. Peoplo were interested in the
poor young woman, and sho would
not havo lacked kindness, but thou, as
now, sho disappeared. Tliero was ft
rumor that she was a shoplifter, so
many Incongruous things were found
storod away in (he littlo bouse. But
I believe myself tho Artful Dodger
was responsible. He must have boon
trained unbeknown to hor by that
Fagln of a husband of hers. Now,
what are we to do about your klepto
maniac, Kilty?"
I put my hand under the Artful
Dodgor's chin, and turned up bis face,
wiih its brown, innocent eyes.
Love ine, love my dog," I said
again.
This time I bad a tight to say it.

In making a compost for manuring
grass land, bulk is quite at necessary
as quality. The soil needs to be filled
with organic matter, and tho mora lib
eral this Is applied iho more effeottre
'he compost will be. Thus, fire tout
of swamp muck is small quantity to
spread orer an acre of bind, and
twenty tons would be better, and this
would be moro effective if applied al
tlio first than if irlrcn In repeated
small quantities of five lout yearly foi
four yours. This Is so for tho reason
Hist It is not quickly decomposable and
soltiuble, and time Is required for 111
result. It Is otherwise with tho more
solunble fertilizers, as nitrate of soda,
sulphate of potash, or dissolved bones, '
or superphosphate of I lino. These
mny be applied ouch year with advan
tage, and wlmtorer surplus may be
left in the soli after tlio crop lias been
fed will remnlii for the next year.
For fifty pounds of nitrogen 3o0
pounds of uitrato of soda may be
used, nnd this is an excessively large
quantity.
Ono hundred pounds of Hilt tortll
izer is UMtully considered sufllulont,
but if raw banc finely ground it used,
tills will o fiord all the nitrogen need
ed. Four hundred pounds of the

gen, and tills is ns much as is con
Inlncd In 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda. This bono will !'so contain
nearly 100 pounds of phosphoric acid,
leaving only tho potash lo bo ndded.
As two tons of hay contain about 80
pounds of this, it would require 300
pounds of sulphate of potash, or ISO
of tho mttrlato to supply this. Thus,
with 20 Ions per ncro of compost of
sun nip muck with li mo gtvon nt first,
and tlio bone and potash supplied
every your, tiny good grass land
should yield two tons of buy yearly
for several years by the cxerciso of
