But the unexpected happened, and after charges and countercharges, and other aeronautic movements ending In at 'closo quarters fighting of some duration, the swallows beat a hasty retreat, or rather, disgraced themsolvea by the most confused flight ever Indulged In by a vanquished enemy. Then tho victorious dragon files flew about that particular portion of the sky with the. unmistakable air of noble conquerors, performing all sorts of assertive antics which Included airy curacoling, evolutions, soarings, plunging, . etc., all sufficiently significant and all tending to proclaim the fact of their undisputed occupation of the atmospheric superficies over the Notoyazaka. reaching a great altitude rnd the discomfort attendant on lua rapid with drawal from the pressure under which be has lived.

October Pt. Nicholas 1 -''t ' - The cases on record In which dogs have risked their lives to save their fellow creatures are almost as numerous as the acts of heroism chronicled in the annals of humanity. The finest medal that was ever struck would not have been too great a reward for the noble act performed by Budge, a spaniel, In In a recent Hoboken lire. Budge lived at 413 Fourteenth street, together with fifty carrier pigeons, a dozen fancy rabbits, and her own four puppies, only a few days old. Before the building was well alight Mr. Selns, the landlord and owner of Budge, managed to escape with h.s family, but the carrier pigeons, tne rabbits and the puppies were forgotten. Budge was absent at the time, but returned half an hour after the fire started. For a moment she stood aghiut at the flames, and then, realizing that her family wsa In dire danger, she dashd through the fire and in a moment returned carrying a badly blistered puppy. Iler anxious face wore a look of quiet triumph as she left the little creature In a place of safety and once more roturfied to the burning building. Again she came hark with another puppy, a little more singed this time, but alscx living. Her own hair was now ablaze, but. unmindful of the pain, she dropped the pup In the street and started back again. But a young man who had stood by watching her caught the dog In his arms, and in spite of her frantic struggles to return to her perishing family refused to let her go. Had he done so she would bave gone to her death. So badly burned was the brave animal, that an ambulance was called, and she and the pups were taken to the dog hospital, where they were detained for nenrly a week. Of all the live stock In that building the only creatures saved were the two puppies, and they oweu their lives not to man but to what, la this Instance at least, proved to be the nobler animal. Mother love was the cause of the death of Daisy, a beautiful little fox terrlor, the daughter of Mouse, a noted prize winner, the property of Col. G. A. Stevens, a millionaire. Daisy belonged to Capt Woodall, who has charge of the barges of the New Jersey Ice company. Daisy was the mother of four poppies, which wore born on New Year's day, and she was the proudest parent In all New York state. In the second week of January last Capt. oodall made the discovery that one of the puppies was dead, and when Daisy was away he threw the little corpse Into the Hudson, but the tide was low and there was no current to carry It away. When the mother returned to her litter she Instantly saw that one waa missing. Fhe wffnt wild with anxiety, and raced from barge to barge looking for ber lost puppy. At last bo caught sight of it bobbing up and down .n the water, and la an Instant she was after It. She awam to the side of the body, took It in her mouth and turned toward the snore. But tho Icy waters of the river were too much or the gently bred ' - mV-'- '''' ' i - r ' A. y .

It was no urn, and after a little whllo she gave up the attempt as a bad Job, and before help could come she sank, carrying the puppy with her. Capt. Woodall wes almost as grief stricken for his pot as Daisy bad been for her offspring, and offered a big reward for tho two bodies, which were secured by a boatman. An attempt was made to bring up the three little orphans on the bottle, which succeeded so well that they are now growing up and almost old enough to understand the story of their mother's heroism, which capt. Woodalls little son is never tired of telling them. Another case In which a dog made a heroic attempt to save the life of a friend was that of Jack, a wlied haired terrlor. After he had been In the family for a few months a stranger was introduced in the shape of a fluffy little black King Charles spaniel. Jack and the new arrival who was called Queenie became firm frlendi, sleeping In the same basket and eating from the same plate. Queenlo was devoted to the fire, and would lie Inside the fender amt go to Whenever Jack sleep peacefully. found her In this dangerous position he would look at her for a noment and then, taking her by the neck, would place her on tho rug. One evening he came to bis master with a look of anxiety .making a peculiar noise, half bark, half shine. He looked at his master for a moment and then left the room. Returning again he made the same nolss and started for the door, looking back at every step. Ills master was busy Just then and took no notice until for the third tlmo he returned, when the master rose and followed him. The dog led the way through several passages and finally into the kitchen, walked up to the range, and placed one paw on the oven. The lire was out for the maids had gone to bed, and on opening tho door there was Queenie at her last gasp. She had not been burnt, but simply suffocated. Every effort was made to revive the dog, whllo Jack stood by wltn a look of the most Intense anxiety on his fare. But It was no use. and the little body was taken Into tho garden and laid upon the lawn. Jack gave one glance at his friend, put his nose to hers, then ran off. He was not seen again for three days, when he returned dirty, bedraggled and lame. Never did he over enter that kitchen again. He hnd ntado a noble effort to save hla friend, and It was not hts fault that the density of one man's comprehension had prevented his ' 5V . 1 . . - v V '- - He Scratched ' ' , V Planters House and Tea Gardens. a within short distance ol Las just retired.

While visiting our friends. Col. and Mrs. R e. we went one day with them In their pretty white shlkara, with its blue and white awning and ten boatmen in livery of white and pale blue turbans and sashes, to the foot of the steps leading up to the palace of the Maharajah's brother, the e was Rajah Amir Singh, as Col. R to make a call on that Prince. When the Rajah discovered that we were also In the boat, he sent to beg that we would come up to see the palace, which we did gladly. The Rajahs palace Is on of tho other side of tho canal from that of tho Maharajah, and whereas' the latter Is a hideous painted brick building, wuh dreadful decorations of orange, green and red, the smaller palaca is quite like an English country house covered entirely with rose vines, and with fine lawns and gardens. The Rajah cume to the top of the broad stone stairway to meet us, and shaking hands most cordially, led us to his house, 'where, on the broad entrance porch, we found two rows of native servants standing, tho.r thoes In pairs behind them. We noticed that the billiard table was of French make, without pockets, and the walls were hung with skins, huge antlers and deer heads.

One evening when she was tal !"g her usual ride, she came to the trench through which runs the water for frt"uegur, and on. looking along It. thought she saw a man lying in the water She rode up to the spot and rode lip to the spot and discovered two natives In the last stages of cholera lying In the middle of the stream. Horrified, she rode up to the Resdency. where they refused to believe the story, but on going back with Mme. de Bourbel they found the two natives as she had said, but both dead. Soon after that the Maharajah, fearing that If she were allowed to remain at the Bal and got cholera he would be censured by the English for permitting her to stay, sent seventy coolies down from Gulmerg to bring her and htr things to tnat mountain valley. where the court goes every summer for the months of July and August or August and September. Tho cool if s arrived In the middle of a very hot day and Immediately fell upon her mulberry trees and ate the fruit until they could cat no more. When Mme. de Bourbel heard of It she was horrified and sent word that on no account were they to touch any fruit or to drink any water except that sent them by her, but It was too late, and before night three were dead of cholera. Then the courageous woman became really frightened and packed up her children and her belongings for an early start the next day. She sent one coolio ahead with tho tiffin basket and at early dawn Btarted off with tho remaining sixty-siand her own servants. The tiffin basket did e.
