Tragedy of the Pet Dog.
I had been to a plcnio luncheon with
soruo friends in a glade near the lovely
valley of Kujiar. We walked back,
having our dandia (light palanquin) dusk car¬
ried behind us; and when began to
fall we put the dogs which had accom¬
panied us into the dandia, knowing it
was no longer safe for them to run by
our side. At length one lady became
tired and called for her dandi. It was
brought and set down for her to enter.
As it touched the ground tho little dog
jumped out to welcome his mistress; but
in a moment his pretty gambols were out
short. Like a flash a great creature
sprang into the road, and snapping up
poor little Prim, vanished with the rapid¬
ity of thought down the steep hillside.
Wo felt thunderstruck, and stood foi
some momenta in horrified silence, gazing
down into the bushes where the gliding
form had disappeared; but nothing was of
to bo seen or beard. The elastic tread
the leopard left no sign or track, and so
noiselessly had it passed that we could
not tell whether it had slipped at once to
tho bottom of the ravine or whether it
was then lying only a few feet below us
hidden in the brushwood. The latter
wo imagined to be the case from the sud¬
den silence that fell upon the other dogs,
which, instead of whimpering [as before
and rebelling against their imprisonment,
now cowered, mute and terrified, In the
cusliions of the several dandia. Poor
Print must have been killed by the first
clutch of the cruel claws, for he never
uttered a singlo cry. Wo hurried home,
grieving much over his dreadful fate,
and the gentlemen of the party immedi¬
ately returned to the spot with their rifle#
and beaters, but nothing was then to ba
seen of the leopard.- Chambers’ Journal
