Ktar No. U had not hern Issued to any men. her of the force, and as it was as good, h!g. blight and shiny as any other, it was assigned to PoundmasteD Jackson, the colored official who haa done sm h excellent service for the last two years. Jackson Is sn ex officlo memher of the force and his star is required by the regulations. It wns pinned on his coat in a light too dim for the number to be discerned by him, and it accompanied him on his first rounds yesterday morning. It only required an hour to convince him that something was wrong. The first tiree dogs he cauKlit bit him.- The fourth got away, carrying the piano-wire noose. Then when the cart was appi r aching the pound the three dug on the Inside made a oot ball rush and burst out the end of the cage. They went yelping away to home and free dom. Jackson men drove disconsolately back to town, stopping at an old colored mamma's home to tell his troubles. "What's dat you all got on yo' coat, Silas?" she aFked, eyeing the big star fiercely.' "That's mah baldge," replied Jackson, rubbing the places where the dogs bit him. "Am yo' foolish enough to 'spos yo' can ketch anything but baid luck warln' dat hoodoo?" she asked Fternly. "Yo' go an' fro dat thing away and pin er pie pan on yo' breast cf o" kalnt git no other tar." Jackson then saw for the first time that it was the fearful thirteen. He tore it from hlHjcoat, wrapped It In a bit of news paper and carried It gingerly to his wagon. Then he drove direct to the police station and handed the package to Sergeant Nlcoll wlth the Information that the star must be taken back or his resignation, .would be forthcoming.- No - attempt, was made -te combat his superstition and another big star was offered him. In the bright light uf the central office It gleamed like a loco motive headlight, revealing the figures 23. "It's twenty-three for the dog catcher, Mlstah Nicolls," shouted Jackson as he re coiled from the star and started to leave Ihe room. He was lured back and the atmosphere cleared by the subutltutlon of star No. 18. Wearing that star, Jackson's first round yielded a harvest of eighteen dogs, and all were safely landed In the city pound.
