How Wolves Hunt,

One strongly marked characteristic
common to dogs and wolves is their
skill in trailing and running down
game, in couples or packs. Such a
wolf hunt in India is described by an
English traveller, who, while with his
telescope watching herd of antelope
feeding in q large field, observed six
wolves evidently conoerting how best
to secure their breakfast. Having de-
cided on their plan of campaign. they
separated, leaving one stationary.
Four crept stealthily round tho outer
edge of the field, and one lay In am bush
at each corner, while the sixth crept
through furrow in the middle of the
field, and there 10y down unobserved.
When all we're thus posted, tho first
wolf suddenly showed himself and,
charging the antelopes. drove them
right across the great aeld, whore they
were headed by another wolf, who
chased them in fresh direction, while
the first hunter lay down to rest.
No sooner had the frightened herd
reached the further end Of the plain,
than up sprang fresh wolf. who again
turned them and took up the pursuit,
leaving his painting accomplish to take
breath, preparatory TO another chase.
Thus the luokless, terrified antelopes
were driven from corner to corner of
the great plain, till, stupefed and ex.
hausted. they crowded together, gal
Looping in ever-lessening circles round
the centre of the field. where the sixth
wolf lay hidden. evidently waiting until
they should be so effectually tired out
as to fall an easy prey.
His calculations were, however, at
fault, not having reokoned on the
human presence, and just as he was
preparing for the final spring. we'll
directed shot proved fatal to the near
est wolf. whereupon all the confeder-
ates took the hint and scurried off with
all possible speed.

O woman VINO sLood near me, ana VINO
was triumphantly retreating with her
booty when she was captured by po-
liceman. would fam have moved no
further in the matter after recovering
my cloak, but was requested in the in.
terests of public safety to give my
name and address. and to attend at tho
police court next morning. When the
hour of attendance arrived was pune
tual, but was eager to conclude The
business and get away as soon as pos.
sible, in order to keep another appoint
ment. But something occurred soon
that made me forget the other appoint
ment altogether that day.
The woman who had been caught in
the act OF stealing my cloak was q
spare, dark woman who looked as if
she had seen better days. When asked
whether she had t. zen the CLOAK or not
she replied sulkily that it was no use
denying what everybody else seemed
to know. and then she began to be
somewhat abusive Of our laws and in
stitutions. averring that the time was
near at hand when everybody would
have their rights, and when poor peo.
pie wouldn't have to work for lot of
lazy swells.
Some of her animadversion was
aimed at mo. as the owner of the warm
garment she had coveted, and she flung
her arms about somewhat violently,
prompted thereto by tho excitement
under which she labored. As she dis.

underneath it shabby jacket bodice
of fawn- colored checked tweed, and
this tweed, be Unknown, was identical

parent purpose. 1t might be a shade

per part of the sleeve, little be-
low the elbow. Not only was the
tear in part of the garment that is
seldom worn through, but it was so
nearly the shape of my boarded bit of
tweed that was positive one would fit
the other, and that had at last dis.
covered the means of tracing Mr..
Blanchard's lost documents.
My hopes were we'll founded. A lit.
tie monetary diplomacy, combined with
promises of immunity from punishment
for the burglary, slicited full confess
sion from the woman. Assisted and
prompted by her husband, she had
effected the entry into Mr.. Blanohard's
house. As we know, she secured the
cashbo1 and its contents. Hearing
some one approaching the door, she
climbed through the window. tearing
her dress sleeve as she did so. At this
point in her narrative she broke into
vituperative language, all aimed at her
husband, who made off with all the
money and left her with nothing but
q tin box and some rubbishy papers,
which I pitched under the bed, and
haven't seen since"
Fortunately for US Mrs. Jinks wasn't
given to cleaning up often, and the
papers were recovered intact.-Mrs.
George Corbett, in the Cincinnati Times
