I^IC jHtJ tales of Real Dogs-By Albert Payson Terhune She Trailed Criminals QUEEN: THE MANHUNTING BLOODHOUND WITH A “SIXTH SENSE.” Queen was a dog of mystery. She is dead, but the mystery will al ways remain. Her life story is strange. So was her possession of a “sixth sense” which nobody could explain. She was a big red bloodhound: and she lived in the jail yard at Bartow, county seat of Polk county, Florida. Sheriff Johnson of Polk county and Warden Hennessy of the Bartow jail and a hundred other reliabla witnesses attested to her queer mental powers. For example: Hennessy noticed that Queen would sometimes stand on her hind lags, at twilight, against the fence of her pen in the jail yard; sniffing the air and staring up and down the road. At such times she would shatter the silences of early eve ning by longdrawn howls. Always, within two or three, hours after this performance, a prisoner or a batch of prisoners would be brought in, from some other part of the county. At first this seemed only a co incidence. But presently, Hennessy grew to believe in Queen’s ability to foretell when prisoners were due. He told Johnson and others. They laughed at the idea. But, before long, they stopped laughing. For, by watching the big red bloodhound, they proved the truth of the ward en’s theory. It never failed. If Queen, lay quietly in her pen, Hennessy knew he could count on an unbroken night's rest and that it was safe to close up the jail and go to bed. But, if she stood up and howled, thews was no use in his undressing. Be cause, soon or late, during the night, he was certain to be aroused by the j arrival of deputies or constables with prisoners to be lodged there. Sheriff Johnson was not content to accept Hennessy's belief that Queeai knew of the impending pris oners by some sixth sense. He de clared she was infected by the warden’s e:cciteme.nt and that of the other jail officials when a moon shine raid was on or when some criminal had been run to earth and was certain to be caught. This hu man excitement, he said, caused her to rear up and to howl. Tire only fault with the explana tion was that it didn't explain. Hen nessy proved that Queen often howled in this way at twilight when no such laid or capture was looked for; In fact, when nobody at the jail had the slightest expectation of prisonets' arrival. Constables would bring captives In from distant parts of the county. A COMMON PROBLEM Toledo Blade: Courts In Boston, following precedent established in Toledo and elsewhere In Ohio, rule that in order to obtain conviction of a parking law violator, a police man must actually see the driver park and remove his car. In one dav 73 persons to whose cars "fix-proof” tags Itnd bern attached, were acquitted On another dav 110 aucli canes were thrown out of court. In Boston as well as Toledo, many motorist* perk their cars wuaie they pluse, leave them in i Men who had suddenly gotten into trouble: men of whom the folk, at tha jail never had heard. But al ways, Queen would herald their ap proach, hours beforehand. Never once was she wrong. Indeed, the Jail's regular inmates grew to listen for that longdrawn howl. When they heard it, a jeering shout would go up from the cells: “There’ll be •fresh meat,’ tonight!” How did the red bloodhound know, in advance, when new prisoners were going to be brought to lire Bartow jail the same evening? That is a mystery nobody was able to solve; though tha fact itself was proven past, all question. (In like manner, none of us here at Sunnybank was able to figure out how our great little collie, Wolf, always knew when the Mistress and myself ware coming home from an absence;—even before we had sent word to anyone of our intended re turn. Never once was Wolf mis taken about this.) Queen’s work at th“ jail consisted of much more than the mere giving of notice when prisoners were to be expected. She hud wonderful track ing powers: and she w'as used again and again to trail criminals. At this job she was the best dog in the .state. Her genius as a tracker was almost uncanny. Once, for instance, she was put upon a cold and seemingly helpless trail, after other bloodhounds had failed. She tracked a fugitive so far through the deep sand of the Flori da barrens that she became exhaust ed. The men with her had to help her over windfalls and creek beds, she was so tired. But she staggered on; leading the posse at last to the center of a thick orange grove where the refugee was found hidden in the loliage of a tree. Again, she was sent to track the murderer of a ne-arby postmaster and his wife. She led the constables over a long and winding course which ended in the killer's hiding place. Still again, when a Negro had shot and robbed an elderly man named Turner. Queen led the posse for miles, to a Negro's cabin But when she arrived there, she paid no attention to tilts cabin's occupant. | Instead, .-he ran past him to a cor ner of the room where a shirt was hanging. The ownar of the cabin confessed that the shirt had been left there fin hour earlier by an acquaintance of hU who had topped to borrow fresh clothes and food and who had gone on again. Queen followed, and th» criminal v/ax captured. Like most, other purebied blood hounds, Queen had not a silt'd of detinitely and “get away with It." The Boston condition Is the more serious on account of that city's nar row. winding, calf-path thoiofaree, but It la bad enough in Toledo mid In other cities where individual nchts and convent mr* me made paramount to the lights and salety of the public. Every city undoubtedly may clear Its streets of automobiles or other traffic »<»s'rur',it>ns by ex ercise of police power, ff the yel low tig becomes another strap of papv. itulswfulav paik*d rats msv <m lowed t f. jy to «t -lit.'iHill.la . savagery in her nature. True she would track a fugitive, until she caught up with him. But, having caught tip with him. she did not molest him in any way. Indeed, she made friends with such refugees; leaving it to her human compan ions to do the capturing. There was another splendid trait of Queen's which made her an ideal trail-dog. Naturally, if a bloodhound is allowed to run at top speed along the track of a criminal, the dog will quickly outdistance tha posse and thus w'ill be of no use to them. Thus, most bloodhounds must be held on leash during such chases. But Queen never needed a leash. Always she followed the trail .slow ly enough for the men to keep up with her. Instinctively, she seemed to know how' fast the constables could travel along any smooth or rough bit of ground. And she ac commodated her pace to theirs. Such terror did she inspire among Florida criminals that there are said to have hern several efforts to poi son her. Either by luck or by her own cleverness, she eluded all these attempts. Yet—like so many dogs which have more than normal intelligence—her life was short. Rare geniuses—either human or canine—are not usually long lived. Queen fell ill. The best local vets worked over her in vain. Then the most easy-running car in the neighborhood was engaged; and in it she was carried to a hospital in Tampa, but nothing could be done for her by specialists there. Her death cast a gloom over the decent people in all that region; even though it was hailed with de light by the criminal element. So perished one of the strangest and most valuable animals on rec ord. Many bloodhounds, in the course of crime-history, may have been Queen's equal at trailing. But perhaps none other of them had her amazing psychic powers or her gift at fore.telling things. BEHIND THE SCENES.

WEASEL SUBSISTS LARGELY ON MICE If weasels are seen about the farm, it is time to hunt rats, not weasels, according to an authority. It is only on rare occasions that a weasel makes his home In l lie poul try house and plays havoc with the flock. The cause of disappearing chicks is fur oftener due t«» the rat than to his mortal enemy, the weasel. Contrary* to common belief, wens els d<> not subsist entirely on blood, hut actually devour the flesh of their kill. Perhaps the most important food it mu on their menu is mice, and like the fuv, they eat numbers of these small animals. One authority, in examining the stomachs of thirty weasels, found that all of the spe cimens examined lind recently eat en mice, rats, or ground squirrels. Weasels sometimes eat birds, hut tills authority is of the belief that the weasels would lie missed more, if they were to disappear completely, j then would the few birds they eut. | The older a man gets tin* less sense | he has about eating.
