FILL this enp to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
? woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon ;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have? given
A form so fair that, like the air,
'Tis less of earth than heaven.
Her every tone is music's own,
Like those of morning birds,
And something more than melody
Dwells ever in her words ;
The coinage of her heart' are they,
And from her lips each flows
As one may sec the burden bee
Forth issue from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her,
The measures of her hours;
Her feelings have the fragrancy,
The freshness of young flower? :
And lovely passions, changing oft, .
So fill her, she appears
The image of themselves by turns?
The idol of past years !
Of her bright face one glance will trace
A picture on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts
A sound must long remain :
i'.???? memory such as mine of her
So very much endears.
When death is nigh, my latest sigh
Will not be life's, but hers.
I fill this 'cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone ;
A woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon,
Her health! And would on earth there stood
Some more of such a frame,
That life might be all poetry,
And weariness a name.

?Take''??Im or leave him." ordered the
drover, truculently, still gazing out of
the window.
"WC yer permission I'll leave hlra,"
M Adam answered meekly.
"I'm short o' the ready." the big man
pursued,, "or 1 wouldna part with him.
Could I bide rne time there's rnany'd

Nevertheless the little man pricked hie '

cangilng his coat before hlrn to protect

?vast ?prang out, seised the coat In Its
?mall Jaw, and worried II savagely.
M'.Adam ?looped quickly and picked up
hi? tiny assailant; and Ihe puppy, eus?
pended by Its neck, gurgled and slob?
bered; then, wriggling desperately around,
mafie It? teeth meet In Ita adversary's
shirt, At which M Adam shook It gently
and laughed. Then he set to examining
it.

?lawny coat, fiery eyes, a square head
with amali, cropped ears, and a corn?
Durative)} Immense jaw; ihe whole giv?

by the manner of Its docking. For the
miserable relic of a tall, yet raw, looked
little ?i,ore than a red t>uttr,n adhering to
ii?. wearer's stern.
?M'Adam'B inspection was as minute as
It was apparently absorbing; he omitted

"Ve wad ha' bought him ycrnel', nae

"In course; If you saya so."
"Or albllns'yn bred him?"
"Appen I did." i
"Yo'll no be from these parts?"
"Will I no?" answered the other.
A smile of genuine pleasure stole over
M'Adam's face. He laid his hand on the
other's arm.
"Man," he ?aid gently, "ye mild rne o'

"Ve said ye found him?"
It wan the stranger's turn to laugh.
"Ha? ha! Ve tecckle me, little mon.
Found 'Irn? Nay; I was give 'Ini by a
friend. But there's nowt amiss wi' his

The great fellow advanced to ihn chair
undtr which the puppy lay. It leapt out
Ilka a llo-n, and fastened on his huge
boot.
"? rare bred un, look 'ne! a rar? gam?

Delightful Comedy.

presented by the Wnlter Edwnrds Com?
pany, In which all tho members of that
famous organization taice part, Is one
of jho most attractive and delightful
comedies which the Edwards Company
lias offered tho public. That Is not going
too far, even for tho Edwards Company.
The play Is bright, clean, and nt nil
times bristling with Ihe most delirate
humor and situations. There Is a mati?
nee this afternoon and the usual nightly
performance, with a final matinee on
Saturday.
YVcel, ? maun be steppln". Good-nlcht
to ye."
"Te'll nlvor have sich anlther diarist"
"Nor nlver wush to, Na. na; he'll never
nmk' a sheep-dog;" and the little man
turned up the collar of his coat.
"Will he not?" cried the othoe scorn?
fully. "There ;nlver yet was one o' that
line?" he stopped abruptly.
The little man spun round.
"Isa?" he said, aa Innocent as any
child: "ye were sayln'?"
The other turned to the window and
watched the rain falling; monotonously.
"Yo'll be wnntln' wet," he said adroitly.
"Ay, we could do wl' a drappln'. And
he'll never rriak' a sheep-dog," Ho
shoved his cap down on hi? head, "Wool,
good-nlcht to ye|" and he stepped ouit
Into the rain.
It was long after dark when the bargain
wan finally struck.
Adam M'Adam's Red Wull became that
little man's property for the following
reallzaablo assets; nlnopence in cash?
thro coppers i?nd a. doubtful sixpence; a
plug of suspicious tobfuco In a well-worn
pouch, and nn old watch,
"It's- clonn glvln' '1m ye," said the
stranger bitterly, at tho end of the detti.
"it's mair the charity than aught else
mak's mo sao lechera!," tho other en
swernd gently. "I wad not like to see
ye pinched."
"Thank ye kindly." tho big man replied
with some acerbity, and plunged out Into
the darkness and rain. Nor was that
long-limbed drover-man ever agni', seen..,
In the countryside. And the puppy's pre?
vious history?whether he was honestly
come by or no, whether he was. Indeed,
of tho famouB Red McCulloch* strain,
ever remained a mystery In the Dale
land.
?N, B.?You may know a Red McCulloch
anywhere by the ring of white upon his
tall nome two Inches from the root.
CHAPTER. IV.
FIRST BLOOD,
After that first encounter In the Dales
ii'an'H Daughter, lied Wull, foreoM'Adam
called him, resigned himself cflmplacont
ly to bin lot; recognizing, perhaps, his
destiny.
Thenceforward the sour little man and
the vl'cloua puppy grew, as It were, to?
gether, Tho two were never apart.
Where nl'Adani was, there waa sure, to
be his tiny attendnnt, bristling deflanco
a.s be kept ludicrous guard over Ids mas?
ler.
The little man und Ills dog wore In?
separable. M'Aduni never loft him even
at the Grange.
"I couldnn trust ma Wullio at hamo
alone wl' (be dear lad," was his expla?
nation. "I ken wee) I'd ooine back to
find a wee corpse on the floor, and David
?insili':
?My heart Is snlr, G daur na tell,
?My heart ;s s.'jlr for somebody.'
Ay, and he'd be~sair elsewhere by the
lime I'd dono wl' bini?ha! he!'?'
Tho sneer at David's espense was as
characteristic as it va? unjust. t'y?
though the puppy nnd tho boy were al?
ready sworn enemies, yet the lad would
have scorned to harm so small a foe.
And many a talo dl'd David tell at Ken
mulr of Red Wull's vlclousness, ot his
hatred of him (David), and his devotion
to his master; how, whe'thorj Immersed
In tho pig-bucket or chasing'tho fleet?
ing rabbit, he would dcsl'st at once, and
bundle, panting, up at his master's call;
how ho routed the tomcat and drove him
from the kitchen; and how he clambered
on to David's beri and pinned him mur?
derously hy the nose.
Of late the relations between M'Adam
and .Tamos Mooro had been unusually
strained. Though they wero neighbors,
? ommunlcatlons between tho two woro of
tho rarest; and it was for the first timo
for many, a long day that, on an after?
noon shortly aftor Red Wull had como
Into his possession, M'Adam entered the
yard of Kenmulr, bent on girding tj?
tho master for an alleged trespass at
the Stony Bottom.
"Wl" yer permission, Mr. Moore," said
the little man, "I'll whoestlo ma clog,"
and, turning, ho whistled a shrill, peculiar
noto Ilk? tho cry of a dlsturbod poowit.
Straightway tlioro came ecurrylng des
?r^oratoly up, cars back, head down,
tongue out, as If tho world depended on
his speed, a little tawny beetle of a
thing, who placed his foropaws against
his master's ankles and looked up hito \
his faco; then, catching sight of the ?
strangers, hurriedly ho took up his posi?
tion between them and M'Adam, assum?
ing his natural attitude o? grisly defl
ance. Such a laughable spectacle lie
made, that martial mite, standing at bay
with bristles up nnd tooth bared, that
ovon .Tamos Mooro smiled.
"Ma word! Ha' yo' brought his mui?
r.|e, man?" cried old Tammas, the hu
:norlst; and, turning, climbed nil In a
heat on to an upturned bucket that
Uood by. "Whereat the puppy, embold?
ened hy hla foo's retreat, advanced sav?
agely to tho attack, buzzing round the
ilippery pall llko a wasp on a window?
1 ano. In vain attempt to roach tho old
man. , 1
Tammaa stood on the top, hitching hie
trousers and looking down on his as
su liant, the picture of mortal fear,
'"Elp! Oh. 'elp!" he bawled. "Send
for the sogors! fetch tho p'licel For
lawk-a-mussy'a sake call him off, man!"
Sjven Snm'l Todd, watching tho scone
ftom tho cart-shed, was tickled and burst
;-,ito a loud guffaw, heartily backed by
'hinry fimi oor Job. Whilo M'Adam re.
markod: v '.'
"Ye'i-a fitter for a stage than a stablo
'mcket, Mr. Thornton."
"How didst coom by htm?", asked Tarn?
i laH, nodding at tho puppy,
"Found him," the little man replied,
sucking his twig. 'Found him In ma
.?,,'ockln' on ma birthday. A present from
?, a lei-tie Davl'd for his unici duri, l doof
"So rio 1;" said Tammas, nnd was
seized with a sudden spasm of seemingly
en useless merriment. For looking up ns
M'Adam was speaking, ho Upd caught
ti glimpse of a boy's fair head, peering
cautiously round the cow-shed, and, be?
hind, the flutter of short petticoat?. They
disappeared as silently ns they had come;
and two small fl'giiron, Just returned from
school, gilded away and sought ?shelter
?il the friendly darkness of a coal-hole.
"Coom awn?'. Mnggle, coom awa'l 'TIs
th' owd un, 'lsselt,'? whispered a disre?
spectful voice.
M'Adam looked round suspiciously.
"What's that?" ho asked feharply.
At the moment, however, Mrs. Moore
put her head out ot the kitchen win?
dow.
"Coom thy ways In, Mister M'Adam,
nnd tak' a soop o' tea,'? she called hos?
pitably.
"Thank ye kindly, Mrs. Moore, I will,"
be answered, politely for him. And this
r ne good thing must bo allowed of Adam
M'Adam; that, If there was only one wo?
man of whom he wns ever known to
speak well, there was nlso only one,-in
tho whole' course of his life, ngalnst
whom he ever Instituted evil?and that
wns years afterward, when men said
Ill's brain was sapped. Flouts and Jeers
no had for overy man, but a womnn.
good or bad, waa. sacred to hlrn. For tlm
i-ex that had given him his mother and
his wife ho had tliat sentiment of ten?
der reverence which, If a man still pre?
servo, ho cannot bo altogether bad. An
ht turned Into the house he looked back
nt Red Wull.
"Ay, we may leave him," be Mid.
"That is, gin ye're no nfrai'd, Mr- Thorn?
ton?"
Of what happened while the men were
within doors, It Is enough to tell two
thing?, First, that Ovd Bob was no
bully. Second, this: In the code of sheep?
dog honor there Is written a word In
stark black letters; end opposite It an?
other word, writ large in the color of
blood, The first Is "Sheep-murder"; the
second, "Death." it is the one crime
only to he wiped away In blood; and to
acousa of the prime Is to offer the one
unpardonable Insult. Every sheep-dog
knows It, and every shepherd.
j That afternoon, as the men still talked,
the ciujot echoes of the farm rung with u
furious'animal cry, twice repeated: "Shot,
for sheep-murder"?"Shot for sheep-mur?
der"; followed by a hollow stillness.
??? ??? ? ? *
The two me? finished their colloquy.
The matter was concluded peacefully,
mainly owing to the pacifying Influonea
of Mrs, Moore. Together the three went
out Into the yard; Mrs. Moore selsslng
the opportunity to shyly speak on David's
behalf,
"Ilo's such a good little lad, I do think,"
she was saying.
>'Ve shbuld ken, Mrs? Moore," tho little
man answered, 11 thought bitterly; "yo
see eiiQuch of him."
"To' irfun be main proud of un, mes
te??," the woman continued, heedless of the
sneer, "an' Mm growln' such a gradely
ia<J."? ;??
M'Adam shrugged his shoulders.
"I barely ken the lad," he said. ''By
sight I know him, fif course, but barely
to speak to. He's but seldom at name."
