to his human association. Nesbe loved him devo-
tedy ever, and on the march he slept just inside
the flap of her tent
A handsome animal was Yasha. His ruddy coat
thick and glossy, his ruff heavy and streaked
with coarse hair of rusty iron color His head was
rather more square than is usual set with 1ntel1
gent alert brown eyes, and his jaws strong and
armed with double set of perfect ivory fangs.
Yasha's travels had saved him from that scratching

Also he was no idler; but went over the Balkan
Mountains with all of his weight and strength thrown

muscles and gave him that high nervous tonicity
wherein every worker, canine or human, excels the

Yasha quickly fought his way to the head of the

From these he learned many tricks of the game,
sometimes at no light cost. great silent brute

started quietly in to eat him one day. wagging his
tail the while and saying nothing to anybody. AS
result of this lesson Yasha travelled for week on
top of the pushcart instead of under 1T; but 1t was
worth the pains, for never again did he trust a
stranger until he had him by the throat 1t also
taught him the golden virtue of silence.
Another time he narrowly escaped an awful deatn
at the angs of wol6sh assistants Of Shkipetari
swneherd and limped back to camp looking as if
he had been caught in moving machine: These
dogs of race as old as Yasha's own Molossian
shepherd dogs they were, of a stock bred by the
shepherds of ancient Epirus in Northern Greece,
and their ancestors had entered the Balkan Noun
tains driving focks for the subsistence of Trajans

Nesbe smiled indulgently:. These Chngeni, them,

delight in Yashas prowess.

merely the history of the father repeating itself in
the son, except that Yasha's desire for conquest
was prompted by Sterner emotion than that OF his
valiant sire.
Cogitating with eyes half closed the sunny side
of a wall, Yasha decided for a raid Pera. He
had already looked about little in Galata, coming
home with few punctures but far from debated,
and with a rather poor opinion of the fighting
qualities of the dogs in that quarter and contempt
for the niggardness of the Armenian garbage pail.
But Pera being richer quarter, promised better

To attempt raid on Pera single handed would be
madness, i'll that attacks the CANNES of

respect due the conscientious way in which they
had questioned his authority before he had
grown into the physical and mental prime that made
this utterly suicidal act One of these dogs
was Yashs's own brother; the other heavy

deposed by Yasha. Both good fighters,
strong jawed, stiff legged stubborn, and fierce,
and both likewise possessed of that intelligence

cunning and arises less from instinct than from actual
thought. Instructive action is the result of
involuntary reflex, whereas thought is voluntary

NEGRESS MAKES SOCIETY BOIL.
BRICK Graduate OF School Determined
To Attend Dance.

New York, June 1.-THE determi-
nation OF Irene Vanderale, a negress
and pupil in the East Orange High
school, to attend the dance of the
graduating class of that school in the
fashionable Women's Club rooms at
orange on June "a, has set the So

perpleXing order are il, prospect.
AS member of the graduating
class of the school the girl received
two tickets to the dance, which is one
or the features of the ending of the
high school curriculum. In addition
her sister, who may also be graduat-
ed, received two tickets to be used in
the event that she passes the final ex-
animation.
These two are the only negro girls
In class of about 80 boys and girls.
many of whom are scions of some OF
the most exclusive families of the
most prominent social set in the
Oranges.
When the parents of these pupils
learned that the two negro girls in
tended to take part in the dance the
news spread through society like an
electric flash.
of1ers to relieve the surcharged at
mosphere by purchasing the four
tickets at any price were extended to
the girls and were Indignantly reject
ed. Failing in this, some of the white
girls, unable to contemplate with
complacency the social mingling of
races on the waxed floor of the FASH
ionable Women's Club when the two
girls should bring their negro escorts
to the dance, began 20 decline the in
vitations.
How far this movement has ex-
tended no one knows, but the par
ents of the white girls are in despair
OF success by conciliatory measures,
as James n. Vandervale, father of the
two negro girls, is a stanch support

In common with the white people.
1t was he who led the fight against
the segregation of a foreign element
from the other pupils in the grammer
schools a few years ago, as a result
of which the Board of Education
compromised by establishing a class
for backward pupils into which some
of the descendants of foreigners found
their way, much to the relief of the
best circles of society.
