So then we set forth down my wood

We were greeted by no hostile shot
and found our vessel quite as we had
left her, as could see at q, glance
when we neared the. bank; but, none
the less, something stirred in the bush

greeted Hiroshimi as he approached
the boat In advance.
You, Tiger called out LATTE. The
dog. a dog none too beautiful and now
just a bit forlorn, approached us, alter
nately wagging in friendship and re-
treating in alarm. ,s.

scented John, "and 1t was more'n ten
miles around, and how could he smell
where we went on the water? Come

dog, but a, creature Of great reason,
else he never could have found you.
And III be bound he is as keen for ad-

HE is coming here last night two

Gent Hiroshimi "Also he bite me on

"He has allotted to himself the duty
Of caring for the property Of his mas

really malefactor. Besides. since he
would not leave the boat and follow
our trail he is by this time hungry.
Feed him, Hiro."
But Hiroshimi was not eager to APP
proach the piratical canine again, so I
myself fished something from ham
per and called the dog to me. He ate
gladly and most gratefully.
Now, 1t Is strange thing to say, but
1t Is the truth, had never before in
my life fed dog. l had won many
knotty suits at law, had solved many
hard problems dealing with human ma
ture and had found human nature for
The most part rarely glad or grateful,
but had never owned or even fed a
dog. A strange new feeling came in
my throat now. Suddenly swallowed
some invisible, intangible thing.
"John," said I, what breed Of dog Is
this?" Indeed, It was hard to tell off
hand, although he had the keen head
Of collie.
u guess he's just one o. them partial
dogs" answered John-"mostly shep-
herd, maybe; dunno"
Every well. Partial shall be his name.
And is he yours? ?"
HE runs round on the farm. He

John, will you sell me Partial?' Il
asked this suddenly, realizing that my
voice might sound odd.
"What'd you want him fer?" be re-
piled. "He'd be nuisance
i II think not. See how faithful he has
been; see how grateful he is, and how
wise. He reasoned where you were as
