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

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.

Her wealth of gold green hair;
Th" willow peeped into the pool
And viewed her image there.

On slender, smooth brown arms;
The bridal wreath with snowy lac*
Veiled all her budding charms.
A violet unclosed an eye.
Then darkened it with kohl;
I saw a busy honey bee.

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.
