A Sightless Sentinel

Mrs. Liddell, of Miller avenue, heard a burglar crawling over the roof of her house, a few nights ago, and she of course was naturally excited and arose, lamp in one hand and revolver in the other. As she was not used to wielding deadly weapons, she was more afraid of the revolver than of the burglar, and would not have dared to cock it for her life. But she held the weapon up to the window, however, so that it would be visible to the marauder, and he slid down "gracefully as the coon." . Mrs. Liddell owns a fox terrier, which had all the while been tearing away at the door and barking as thoiojh it wotfld throw up its lungs. lts mistress opened the door and out shot the fierce little chap and tackled the intruder, who evidently kicked the animal several times, as indicated by his enraged cries; but he succeeded in putting the enerny to the rout. Now this canine is not nearly as blind as a Monroe policeman, after saloon closing hours, yet he is absolutely sightless and is governed alone by his sense of smell; yet he goes about as jauntily and with so much ease and self-consequence as any self-respecting dog in the full possession of sight.
