PUCK. away like a guilty thing behind a coil of ropes, and lay down to watch in the rain and the dark, But when all was quiet and Archie had gone below, Schneider slowly and furtively crawled out from her hiding-place, and stole down the steep little stair, and lay down behind the door to keep guard over her master; happy only to be near him. And there she had lain, without making movement or sound, all through the weary hours— happy, watchful, patient —until her quick ears caught the sound of that cry of hor- ror which Archie gave as he wakened from his dream, and the poor dog knew at once there was something wrong—that Ae was in trouble —and timidly, anxiously, and more than half afraid, she made her presence known. It would be hard to exaggerate Archie's pleasure at regaining his old friend, for he had got to love Schneider almost as a brother, It had been called so after old Rip Van Winkle’s famous dog, in grateful remembrance of the pleasure afforded him when he was yet a boy in school, and Sir Alexander, one evening that they were in London, had taken him to see a famous American actor in that réle. It was Archie's “first play,” and the memory of that matchless performance, so perfect in its rounded grace, its fine and exquisite humor, its more than womanly tenderness, its infinitely touching pathos—had remained fresh in his mind ever since. So he had called the pup Schneider, and as now he patted and caressed her, and called her by all the pet names and endearing epithets he could think of, the memory of those boyish days came back to him, and his eyes filled with tears. “ Pshaw! Schneider,” he said, as he brushed away those signs of weakness, “this will not do. Come, old friend, and let's see what’s do- ing in the world above.” (To be continued.)
