SKILL IN TRAILING Indians on or
Western .prairies are famous for their skill
in following trails, but II is possible that
some of the hal:-breeds in The old Spanish
States of South America were even more
acute. A Traveller gives an account of
one of them
During the year 1880, criminal had
escaped from jail, and CaIibar WAS
charged to find him. The unhappy man
knowing he would be tracked, bad taken
all the precautions which the fear of the
schffold could invent.
Useless precautions! Perhaps they
only helped TO ensnare him, for Calibar
ieit that his reputation might be compro-
missed, and self pride caused him to acq1it
himself well.
The runaway took every advantage of
the unevenhess of the ground, 80 as to
battle his purs1er, but his efforts only
proved The marvellous sight of the trailer.
He walked the whole length OF street
on tIptoe. then climbed low walls, crossed
pastures and returned in his own track
Calibar followed, without losing the
trail. 1t he momeDtarily missed it, il
was soon recovered. At last he arrived
AT a canal of water in the suburbs, where
the fugitive had followed the current. to
toll the trailer. But in VAIN Calibar
followed aioug the shore, without any
uneasiness. and at hast stopped to examine
some grass, with the words, sat this
place he catne out i; there is no track, but
these drops Of water in the pasture indi>
cate IT.
The fugitive has entered a vineyard
Caltbar surveyed with his eye the walls
that surrounded 1t. and said, ''ie is with
in" The party of soldiers that attended
him sought in the vineyard without sue
cess. AT length they became tired Of
hunting, and returned to report the use
lessness of their search. s'fIe has not
come oot," was the brief answer which
The trailer gave without moving himself
or proceeding TO new examination. He
had mol come out indeed. Another search
discovered him, and On the following day
he was executed.

before The family ehaise for many a fcng
year to the village post office, to the Sab
bath day meeting, and upon all kinds of
errands. Old Charley was ever ready to
be ''hitched up." Not one trick had he
shown, nor had he once proved unfauhful.
and grandfather always rode him on such
errands or business as he might have
about the farm The river divided the
farm, and IT was at times necessary 10

bridge mile and half from fhe house,
but there was a good ford just down by
the bank, which was always used when
the water Was not high. Ore day in the
spring time grandfather had TO go over
the river, but ihe freshet had come. the
banks were overfowed and the ice in
great cakes and fields was coming down

powerful current, he caught the dropping

without hesitation, he turned around and
