within him that feels ?s big as a

Thoso hollows were common in Rat
Row. It was the river street of a large
city, where squalid men, women and
children fought, quarreled, cursed and
stole their wretched lives long to keep
that inner void just suflicientlv filled
to ward off the Potter's Field. "Stole,"
I said. The younger liabitai ts, per

this. As for their elders?well, if a

disposition to "squeal," all right,
perhaps; if he rebelled, the river was
handy. Then a fresh llow of firewater,
more despernte fighting, cursing
and cutting for a day or two.
Sometimes a rush of patrol-wagon and
armed police, a bleeding body carried
away, a liviug, sullen, horrible one or
two to answer for it?it was an old
itory to the blue-coats.
Thus, Jagri was a dog of the slums,
kicked, cuffed and starved, with good
points in him that once led an uptown,
clubman to coax him off the street
when Jags inadvertently wandered,foraging,
t) a vespectable quarter.
For three days Jags was fed, pettod;
and began to grow handsome. The.
first hour of liberty found him fawn-'

most, liriltnl of all 111,,

"Here ye be, bo ye, yo cuss^

Take that ? Tid that -'nd that!"
"That" wns a series of brutal kicks
that made the poor dog yelp out in|
piteous agony. When they ceased!
duo of Jiigs's beautiful, loving brown
eyes was gone. Vnoekcd out or its
bieeuiug socket by the master for whom1
he lmd sacrificed wealth and comfort.
That was merely n variation of the
tortures that Jags'a master habitually I
put upon him. If it ever occurred to,
the dog that he had anything to forgive
he did no, freely, generously and
lovingly, creeping all the mord
adoringly to the feet that kicked him.
If ho ever thought, wistfully, that his
master might have done a more rueroiful
thing and relieved him of a
real trouble by kicking out his
stomach, he never said so.
Just now he dragged his bony length
to the side of Blinks, keeping a watchful
eye for kicks, and breathed along,
sobbing sigh of relief when he got
close to his idol without awakening
bim. The man was seated on a broken
chair outside the tottering tenomenti
houso where ho and Jags had a kennel.
His bloated red face whs turned upward
to the still, his breath reeked bad
whisky, the soft summer breeze stirred
bis loathsome rags. One wonders
how even the breeze could touch him..'
Blinks was happy. He was "full," not
of that unnecessary luxury, food, buti
of vile whisky.
His slumber was soon disturbed by
a splash, a chorus of yells from the
gamins on the river bank, aad with
bare, red arms dripping with soap
suds, her frowsy hair Hying in the,
wind, Betsy O'Kiley rushed from her
wash-tub.
"The bnbby ! The darlint! It's
drowndid he is intoirely! Howlv
Mary! Hun, ye murtlierin divils!
Save 'im ! Hilp!"
It would not have created much of
a sensation in Kat Row society if a
half dozen little, "rata" had been
swept away altogether by the river. A
few draggled women lounged to doors
or windows, two or three blear-eyed
men, among whom was Blinks, lurched
lazily toward the place where the
small, dirty tigure had gone under the
miirkly water, giving it plenty of time
to druiyn in the most leisurely way
before their arrival. 'V.ly the screeching
motherland, .the dog lyeife really
alive to the situation.
Jags was weak from long fasting,
hut the instinct inherited from a long
line of noble ancestors nerved him.
In a flash, it seemed, his gaunt body,
was in the water and out, and Betsy
had snatched her soaked
drained the water out of him and administered
a ringing slap.
"Ye spalpane? Will yez be kapin'

The ohild replied with a vicious

Betsy went b*ek to her washtub, while
Jags cre]>t patiently to the side of his
master who, witli another, hail dropped
from sheer exhaustion on the yellow
earth. No one thought of praising or
thanking Jags. Such small, sweet
courtesies were not customary in Rat
Row. Only Blinks's companion, who
seemed more alive than his surroundings,
looked aoprovinelv at the doe.
"FetcR 'n carry?" he said laconically,
nodding in Jags's direction.

Jags looked np imploringly ?.? a

"Blame yer mrzzablo hide!" hi
shouted furiously. "Call 'im back 01

to defend his master and bonqdec
back with a growl at his assailant.
"Cussed if the dawg wouldn't fighi

Big Andy with an admiring grii
at Jags. He went inlo his own nest it

bone. "Hyar, dawg I Put that dowt

Jags snatehed it with the fervor ol

with a sullen spite against the innocent.
cause of his shaking, and, looking
to zee that big Andy was at a safe
distance, he called :
"Hynr, ye imp."
The dog came, clinging desperately
to the precious food.
"Prop it!"
The poor animal obeyed, eyeing it
wistfully the while.
"Now, come git it!"
JagH bounded joyfully forward to
meet a kick that made him howl. Repeating
this amusing performance until
ho was weary, the human brute
finally threw the bone into the river.
Jags started weakly after it, but
obeyed with something like tears in
his one pathetic eye when commanded
to lie down.
Well, ho had been hungry before,
and if his master willed this, he must
know best.
It has been seen, long before this,
that Jags was an ideal Christian.
Hours after this even Bat Row was
wrapped in slumber?the heavy sleep
of the drunkard or the leaden one ot
exhaustion and weakness. Blinks, after
taking several more drinks from a
flat, black bottle, staggered into some
corner of the Old Mill, after ordering
Jags in language savoring of brimstone
to stay out, when the poor dog tried to
follow him in.
The stars shone as serenely down on
the foul smelling city slums as upon
the clover-sweet meadows far away.
The river murmured and gurgled along
the black piers. Sometimes the
"chug-cliug" of a steamboat came
clearly through the night; then its
hoarse whistle?one long-drawn, three
short, another long?woko the echoes
and it putted past, its high, colored
lights and trailing smoke making it
look through the darkness like some
iiery-eyed demon of tho mists.
Jags, lying prone on the rickety
Hteps of the Old Mill, moans and eries
a little in his sleep as vague realizations
of his wretched life and empty
stomach visit his dream.
Suddenly he starts up, nose in air,
and listens. There is nothing unusual,
Jcgsl The river gurgles on softly,
the stars twinkle undiramed, there is
110 variation of sight or wound that, human
mind can detect. Not human
mind, perhapH, but dog instinct ?
Jags quivers, bo snifTs the air and
walks about uneasily. He stops and
whines, tries to push in the barred
door and fails. Then he broaks into n
long, plaintive howl. Hurelythat will
awaken some ono in that narrow
street, that crowded house ! But thore
comes no other sound but the rippling
river, the roar of the far away, sleepless
streets.
Again and again ho howls. Silence!
What is that? A mere shadow of n
sound, faint, stealthy, as if some one
had stepped lightly on a dry twig and
snapped it. 11 rouses Jags to frenzy,
scores of human beings, men, women,
little children, sleeping calmly in s
tinder-box, that tinder-box on tire and
only he, Jags, a dumb, helpless animal,
to know and save them ! And he
? his idolized tyrant, in there!
Jags throws himself against the door
with a yell of agony. It falls open. A
thin puff of smoke wavers to meet him.
Barking, howling, fairly shrieking,
Jat's tears straight, for the room where
0_ O - .? MV> W
lie end Blinks have their kennel. He
isn't there! Out again, jumping
against doors in his frantic search,
choked with smoke, rushing through
curling tongues of flame, goes the dog.
Are they all dead in there! His master,
where is he? It is well that one
in that vast hive is not too tired nor
too drunk to awaken. Big Andy
rouses to realize that the dog is making
' a fuss," takes in the situation in a
(lash, and bounds out of the smoketilled
room.

glitter like liquid fire in the red flames.
The Old Mill is doomed.
"Is every one out!" asks the Chief
brusquely, gazing up toward the tottering
furnace.
As if in answer (here is a crash of
breaking glass at a second-story window
and a living thing appears there,
pitiful, pleading, abloze with little
tongues of flame. It whines imploringly.
"ig Andy has private reasons of his
own for preferring to remain incog,
among a swarm of policemen. Hut
now into the full blaze of light he
dashes forward.
