 At the time the dog was plaj-ing along tlic waters edge. It saw 

 the iilUgator as it khh about to enter the stream, and immediately 

 comi'rehended tlie Bituatiou. The alligator was out of its proper 

 place, bat there was no tune to gov an alarm. The dog imme- 

 diately started for the scaly trespasser and caagbt it by the tail. 

 A bitter light then ensued. The dog attem[ited tu pnll the aUi-

 tide turned, lbs uihgalor caught, the dog Ijy the neck and gave 

 him ample time aud cause to raise an alarm. The dog did so. The 

 men who had been witnessing tlie affray came to the dog's rescue. 

 Then- appeai'ance frightened the aUigator, which released its hold 

 and endeavored to get away. The dog again seized it liy the tail, 

 pulled it to the bank and held it secimaly until the men could put 

 it into it« cage. — Xivlianapoiis A'ewg.
