of his young men gave hurried de-

supposed that they had certai inly the

"Of course. Sir Charles and Prof.
Adolfo rendered no verdict, having
no quality to do such thing" he
added. But Sir Joseph is welcome
to his little joke. The Bellies one

of New York-does not take cog

he continued. "The supreme court
Of New York did not order this hear

about it. 1t was simply by agree

self. Only by word of mouth be-

twelve families. on Vine street alone,
had acquired dogs. And almost no
two of the dogs were of the same
breed.
Then 1t was that Old Man Negley
came to the fore.
Old Man Negley had not the good
luck to live on Vine street with its
deep yards and broad lawns. He
lived in a shack. down on River
street; he and his smiling fat wife
and their three dogs. But he was a
daily visitor to Vine street, where he
cut lawns and made gardens in sum-
mer and shoveled snow and made
furnace fires in winter.
Hitherto the old chap had had no
special claims to distinction, besides
being a good workman. But now 1t
was discovered in some way that he
! had spent many years as kennelman
and as a hanger-on at dog shows.
Wherefore the new dog-craze on Vine
street made his advice and opinion as
much in demand as those of the only
doctor in a busy town.
For the dog-owners were finding
[ that it is one thing to buy pup and
quite another thing to understand him
or how to care for him. Commuters
fell to waylaying Old Man Negley for
information and asking him innumer-
able questions about their particular
breed OF dog.
One noon as Old Man Negley parked
his lawnmower in the lee OF the
Crothers' porch and sat down beside
It in the shade for lunch two little
figures came around the corner Of the
ant,oue converted farmhouse and bore

One was a twelve-year-old girl

Bernard Berenson said he was
glad to be called as aIsexpert by Sir

Capt. Hahn continued. About fifteen
