The shaggy old Tibetan yak Mt the

yak occupied his shed and inclosure.
Yesterday a visitor stood watching
the yak munchlng at a truss of hay In
his manger. He called the yak and II
took no notice. Then, having read
Hooker's "Hlma1ayan Journals" he re-
membered the calls of the Tibetan
maldens when they bring the yaks
home at sunset.
The visitor uttered the call. The yak
dropped mouthful of hay. gave n
deep grunt, and came shamblng to
the bars of Its stable. The visitor pat
ted and fondled 1t, and grunted yak
language and 1t licked his hand. and
when he left the yak house 1t ran out
OF Its shed and followed him around
its large barred lnclosure.
He returned later and found the yak
still restless. 1t had deserted Its meal /;
II paced the Enclosure and made plain
tive noises. The visitor gave the TIbe-

ran to him. Good heavens !" cried n

sent by Henry VIII to make reprisals.
In this he succeeded only too well he

however, proud OF hts achievement, de-
