A Dog that Held a Grudge.

A surly man could Lie shown more temper than Sootchy, going slowly homeward, barking and growl kail the way. An appareno reconciliation took place wbeo the artist returned, bub he haxl decided that he would not take the dog back to the city. Soon after, he gave it to a friend in the village where he was ajoiMiins This alight was never for giTen, -;J it would seem that Scotchy brooder yv?r it continually. A year later the W lit went to call on the friend who H received the dog. The ladies of the Satisehold were on the piazza, and so was theterriqr. As soon as it saw its o!d mater coming up the walk, it seemed in a most wild rage. Every hair on its back sviodnpright, and its eyes became green irith anger. Snarling and growling, it Btaed its teeth and looked as if deter mined to use them. "Scotchy, come here!" said the artist Iternly-.■*'•.■ ':...■".' ■ . '.. Asu compelled against its will b,y the old race of authority, the dog slov/Jy obeyed, growling at every step. "Position!" said the artist, in his severest tope, and Scotchy growled his way between his former master's leg?. " Now, jump!" Fairly'trembling and yelping with ram, the dog sprang over the artist's clasped naridsßs it had been taught long before, "Jump back!" Snarling his bitter protest, back it sprang. "Sit up!" Seotehy rose on his haunches, meanwhile gnashing his teeth. " Shake hands !" Out came the paw and a most portentous growl it the same instant.

"Oh,"crJe(i the ladies, " do drive the clog away: he will surely bite you. Here, Scotchy, come here, come away '." " Sit still," said fche artist. "U-jr-r-r-r," responded Scotchy, yet seeming unable to disobey. ( The artiafc now sat down and. commanded,

"No, no!" cried the ladies; "ho will wte your nose off." '

So probably Scotchy would have done Md the artist relaxed his stern quiet demeanour, O r shown the least fear. He only repeated the command more severely, keepipg his eyes fixed on those of the dog. Aiircompslled by some mysterious, ir rasishble power, Seotchy sprantr into the "Ms lap with a terrific snarl,~and with Wnwwhite teeth exposed. "Kiss me!" thundered the artist.
