BETRAYED BY HIS DOG.
Pet Unwittingly Leads Officers to
Arrest His Criminal Master.
St. Louis Republic.


dog that George Woodstock, the
notorious King of the Coiners," is
just now serving a sentence of four
teen years penal servitude.
For close on a quarter of cen=
fury this remarkable man carried
on his nefarions trade without ever
having once been troubled by the
police, an absolutely unique record
so far as this particular branch of
criminal industry is concerned.
At last, however, from informa-
ton received" the detectives got on
his track That is to say, they found
out that he lived somewhere in
Peckham, and that his mint" was
supposed to be in the borough. In
spector Fox, who had charge. of the
case, also discovered that he owned
favorite retriever dog named
Nero.
Forthwith there was organized a
most comprehensive as we'll as ex-
haustive local canine census. Every
retriever dog in Peckham was fol-
lowed home and the ostensible
business carried on by its owner
verified. But to no purpose. There
were found to be some hundreds of
bowwows of that particular breed
in that particular district, but in
every case the status of their pos
SCISSORS was found to be unimpeach-
able.
Then one day, quite by accident,
Inspector Fox happened on stray
specimen of the species toddling
along in the neighborhood of New
Cross. "Nero! NeroT" called the of
fcer, and the dog stopped, and
looked up inquiringly. The detecs
tive bought him beef, made friends
with him and followed him when
he at last made for home.
A few inquiries convinced the
Inspector that he had at last run
his man to earth, but he had as yet
no evidence to secure a conviction.
So for weeks he watched and wait
ed, cementing his friendship with
the dog meanwhile. Then, when all
was ripe for action, Woodstock, his
wife and his child, were decoyed
away for day by one of FOa's
secret agents, the detective let hi o.
self into the house with a skeletNp
key, and the now thoroughly conn
PLEASANT retriever was led by his
chain to the district in the borough
wherein it was believed the mint
they wanted was situated.
Arrived there the dog was releas-
ed and told to find his master.
Away he went, wagging his tail,
and close behind him in hanson
followed Mr.. Fox. Within a very
few minutes the animal stopped be-
fore a house in place known as
the Triangle. "Do you know this
dog?" inquired the officer of the
tenant of the adjoining house. ooh,
yes" was the reply. Its Nero. He
belongs to the gentleman next door.
He's an engraver, and he only
comes to work two or three days
week"
Then indeed did the inspector
feel assured that he had succeeded.
For FORMS sake he had look over
the interior of the premises. But he
was as certain as mortal man can
be of what he was going to find
there before ever he set foot across
the threshold, and his expectations
were fully realized. That very night
Woodstock was arrested, unwilling
" betrayed into the hands of his
enemies by the one friend he trust
ed; and one, too, who would not
