<(WEU<" said Don Cabeza' something harne given him his cue, " a lot of young ,tetswM« coUected one .Sunday afternoon round a badger hole in winch there was i\ mirthty obstinate badger-one of .those old tw-lw that, you could knock sparks out ot with a hammer. Anyhow the young sports lad put all thoir swell imported terriers into him, and the old badger had come out on top every time—ab least he hadn t come out ou top, because he hadn't come out at &; but when he and tho dogs got to clurag ope anottier underground, ho ap ptaEeu to have away ahead the finest appe tk It seemed he had enough patterns of Weclown there tor old Ma:am Badger to take a crazy quiit of; and the boys were just about to quit when a chap who was standing by looking on said, kind o' sadly, 'I guess, Blasters, that my old dog'd fetch thit butfaer out for you - if you want him out, that is.*" 'fte stranger was one of those plank sbaped citizens, with shiny hair, like sea weed; be was a coffee-coloured cuss, and looked as inelaucholy as a sick monkey. His clothes might have been entailed clothes, in which tho family had lived for witorits; and the niongi'el was about as nearly like his master as a dop could be. Well, sir, the young bucks took a look at them both, and. the more they looked the acre they laughed. The notion that the cuv could beat all their ijnely-bred, im ported terriers, just tickled them to death ; and first one, and' then another, and finally the whole boiling oithem offered to bet "20, 3D, 10 to'" I against him—anything the owner liked, in'fact. But th&y couldn't clutfthaoldman oft'; he stayed with them; hfl seemed to have more money along, too, than you'd expect to find in such old clothes. And the more the boys kept sousing it to him, the more he kept taking'em, till finally they quit. And when the bets were all laid out on a bi;^ stone, there was more money there than would patch Old Nick's cabin a mi c.

Well, they stood around to see tho fun. It was pretty clear, thab some one Avas going to fall awful rich1 befove the deal was over. However, the visitor didn't seeni like he tliought that it was going to be he. He picked thg mongrel up and stroked him taderly, m & t j, e o i d dog w i nce d a uttlo oito tpo, as if he could see a chapter or so {MW.of Ijim. hHt him in," said the ps,;' put him in !"
