Rut he was a ilv visit--r to Vine street; v . r. he cut lawns and made gardens tn sti:mn?r and shoveled snow and made furnace fires In winter. Hitherto, the old had ! d r.o special clolm to distinction, besides being a g 1 workman. Hut now It was discovered in some way t...it he had spent many years as a kennel; an 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 a pup; and quite another tiling to understand hlin or how to care for him. Commuters fell to waylaying Ohl Man Nog lev for Information and to usk htm Innumerable questions. K One noon, as Old Man Negley parked his lawnmower lr. the lee of i the Crothers' porch and sat down beside It in the shail'. for lunch, two , little figures came around the corner of the antique converted farmhouse and bore down upon him. One was a twelve-year-old girl. Sibyl Crothers. The other was a nondescript little old yellowish-gray dog. "Mr. Xegley." said the child with trouble quivering In her sweet voice, as she pointed to her beloved dog. "MaJste Burke says thai Baddy, here Is a mutt. He Isn't, is he? You know all about dogs. lie Isn't n mutt. Is he?" "No." returned thp old man. gravely. I aa he proffered the disreputable little ! dog a sliver of corned beef from his first sandwich. "No. indeed. Paddy Isn't a mutt The blood of tbe finest 1 champions In the dog world Is flowing in Poddy's veins." "Really?" exclaimed the delighted ! child. "Champions of what breed, Mr. ! tieg 1-y?" "All breeds." responded Old Man j Negley. 8lbyl*s fare flushed. She passed a protecting arm about Paddy; and j glared defiance at the old ninn. "I don't care!" she flashed. "He's j the dearest, wisest, best dog that ever i was. Daddy gave hlin to me when ho i was a puppy and when I was only just big enough to walk. And he's been my chum ever since. And now these other girls with their new-fangled thoroughbred dogs are turning up their noses at him! P.ut I didn't t'cnk you'd make fun of"Hold on!" begged the old man. | "Hold on there. .Missy.

"People pot a mongrel, for fifty cents or f.?r nothing. In this world we're apt to value a thine by the amount it costs us. So they don't bother to train a mongrel as they'd train a thor ou glib red. "In spite of that, he of:-n surprises them by bis cleverness.

Temperature Variation Gives Rise to Breeze * When air becomes wnrm It expands. ** gets lighter, and rises, while fresh. I colder air blows in and takes its place. V That Is why there Is usually a breeze at the seaside. The land grows warm In the sunshine, while the sea remains practical- J ly cool, so there Is generally a flow of cooler air from the sea taking the place of the warm air rising from the land. bi These differences of temperature oc- 01 cur all over the world. Big areas of land and water become unequally bot and make the layers of air above their unequal in temperature, and therefore different In pressure. G1 r< y THE.
