Bit of Evidence.

l. bloodhound at Bucharest Picks Up "a
Bit of Evidence.
A certain well-known inhabitant of
Bucharest is the director OF manu-
factory which, being situated in the
outskirts of the city, he goes to early
each morning, returning late in the aft
ernoon. The director was some few
years ago married to the daughter Of
a rich merchant. He also possesses a
splendid bloodhound, which had become
very clever in finding and bringing any
lost object of his master or mistress.
Little did the director, when teaching
his dog this trick, fancy to what pur-
pose he was doing it. Among his in
innate friends he reckoned certain
banker, and visiting him one after
noon, accompanied by his dog, he no
ticed it sniff around the waste paper
basket, and then bring out from among
the scraps of paper a green silk hand
kerchief, which seemed strangely fa-
miliar to him. He seized 1t and pock-
eted it without the banker noticing
and soon after took his leave. The
lady was packed off to her parents and
proceedings for a divorce commenced
She ultimately confessed to having
given the handkerchief as a memento
which the banker had thrown into his
waste paper basket to be found by the
intelligent bloodhound.
