DOG A FAKE HERO. Pushes Children Into the Selne to Rescue Them and Win Beefsteaks. | Special Correspondence THE NEW Yorke TIMES. | PARIS, Jan. 22.—Apropos of the de- | cision of M. Lepine to employ dog aux- | | iHaries for the patrol of lonely beats In ‘the outskirts of Paris, a good story {s: now going the rounds concerning a splen~| ‘did Newfoundland which was a candidate; ‘at one of the recent field trials. 7 The dog is the property of a man who lives on the banks of the Seine, just outiside Paris. Some time ago a child play-. |ing on the rfver bank fell into the water’ ‘and was in imminent danger of being: drowned. The dog, hearing the cries and | ‘the splashing, leaped over 2 hedge, ran ‘down the bank’ and plunged into the -stream just: in time “to rescue the little! victim. Naturally, the-breve animal was | made much of and the father of the) child, by ‘way of recompense, presented him a succulent beefsteak. Two days, -later another child fell into the water. alhd was rescued by the dog. The Ilfe-. saver received the sams caresses and | another beefsteak. Up to this point there was nothing extraordinary. But rescues became more and more frequent. Hardly a day passed but that some unfortunate infant was brought safely to thé bank by the dog ‘after an involuntary bath. It began to be suspected that the neighborhood was haunted by a mysterious criminal, and a special watch was inaugurated. Then the truth came out. It was the ‘(dog—the noble life-saver himself—that was the guilty one. Whenever he saw a child playing on the edge of ‘the stream he promptly knocked ‘it into the water, and then none the less promptly jumped in to the rescue. He nad thus established for himself a profit- source of revenue.
