hideous clamor OF Afghan warfare Blu,

the policeman fed him. After that night

for such service the dog is credited on

made twenty-five arrests. Not long ago
policeman Fisher saw thieves attempting
to rob a drunken man. and started to
arrest them. They fed, and Fisher
gave an alarm rap as he pursued. Sud-
