On a Criminals Trail. i-THE MUCH MALIGS‘BD BLOODHOUND NEVER INJURES A FL’GlTIVE CN- LESS ATTACKED BY Lilli. The bloodhound has become the most important member of the police and detective force in many parts of this country. Man hunts are more common than they were in slavery days, and the terror which the dogs have inspired amng criminals in the south is very great. The very name of these dogs Conjures horrible pictures of reientlc» beasts pursuing a victim until fatigue weights him down, and then springing at his throat and tearing him to pieces. It is a very wrong impression, with little fact upon which to base it, but it will take several decades to remove it. Still tit-re is something dreadful in the mere thought of men being tracked by dogs. There are a peculiar grandeur and an intensely sage severity in the head of the aristocratic bloodhound. There is a suggestion of latent power and sup- pressed ferocity about him. His calm dignity and majestic, thoughtful air show his ancient breeding and Iordly associations. His wrinkled brow, his weary, mournful gaze from deep set, bloodshot eyes, bespeak years and cen- turies of meditation. He is as noble and as wonderful as he looks. You cannot imagine a bloodhound of high breeding attacking a living creature without provocation. And this is true of him. The true bloodhound never wantonly attacks a man he has run down. If the man remains perfectly Quiet, the bloodhound will let him alone, but if the tnan attempts to run mi there is bound to be trouble. Even then the bloodhound prefers to frighten rather than injure the object of the chase. He will make a deal of threat- ening before he will bite. Very often it happens that the bloodhound is at- tacked by the trailed men, and then the animal becomes savage and dread- ful. His very mcin inspires terror, and his sharp fangs, his powerful jaws. and his red and angry eyes make him ap- rear one of the most Iormidable of beasts. A man hunt is a very exciting thing. It is called sport in some places. Very often it is dangerous, for the criminal may be an armed and desperate man. Directly the crime is discovered the nearest pack of hounds is sent for. A sheriff or his deputy or some other oili- ccr becomes the master of the hunt. so to speak. Three or frur others, or pos- sibly a dozen, may accompany him on horseback, although in mountainous regions they may be compelled to aban- don their lrorsos at any moment. In each pack of bounds there is one wise old dog, who is the leader. Sometimes his scent is not the keencst, but his sa- gacity exceeds that of the others. If the pursued has left anything behind. that is given to the degs, and the tracks are pointed out as well. Directly they strike the trail they give tongue. The bay or bark of the bloodhound is deep-. -cr, more musical, more significant than that of the loxhound. There is some- thing very portcntous about it. Some- times the (logs circle about for many minutes before they are off in full crvi; then, swiftly or slowly, as the trail is ‘avarm or cold, they gallop along, their noses close to the ground, giving tongue as they run to show that they are full of confidence. The dogs do not run so fast that it is difficult fora man on horseback to keep up with them, and if the trail is cold one on foot can keep their pace. The tnen can see no sign ot'thc fugitive. They cannot even see the. tracks that retain a faint odor that lords the dogs. As they follow. they wonder when they shall reach a stream and if the hounds will be at fault. Men who know that they will be chased with dogs always make for water, because they know that it will throw them of? the trail. It succeeds more often with a beagle or foxhound titan it does with a bhwllround. Directly a stream is reached the dogs stop. Then the lead- cr seems to direct. the movements ofthe pack. Some cross to the other side. They run up and down the banks of the stream like. a shuttle, gradually in- creasing the distance covered. Others make wide circles. The interest of the dogs is intense. They seem to feel that l? will be a disgrace to lose the trail. 'I hey whine qucrulonsly and show their anger at times. Suddenly one gives tongue. Tire others may be far away, but directly they start for the common ]oirrt. rushing pellmell after the do: that has found the trail. lftlrc trail is hot. the dogs can tell whether the j'rr;irive has passed up or down stream and thereby save much time. As the trail grows warmer the speed and en- t! :rsiasm of the dogs increase, They “ill outstrip the pnrsuers and rush on quickly to the victim. Usually the tu- gizive climbs a tree or sits on the top of a fence if there is one, but this is not niceiswar)‘.

NEWSPAPER LAW. 1. A postmaster is required to give notice by letter (returning the paper does not answer the law), when :l subscriberdoes not take his paper out of the otlicc and state the reasons for its not heingtnlten. Any neglect to do so makes the pnstnmster responsible to the publisher fur payment. '2. If any person orders his paper discon- tinned he must pay all urrcurages, or the publisher may Cullllnltt: to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. There can he no legal discontinu- ance until the payment is made. 3. Any person who takes a paper from the pnst-ollicc, whether directed to his name or another. or whether he has sub- scribed or not. is respt’insible fur the pnv. 4. If a subscriber orders his paper to. In: stopped at a certain time, and the 'pub. Iiehcr continues to send, the subscriber in bound to pay for it it’ he takes it out of the. post-oilice. This proeeeds upon the ground that a rnan must pay for what he uses. 5.
