its hind legs are of the same height as

of hyena are shorter. Moreover, its
form which closely resembles that of

these dogs often annoy sportsmen by
carrying off antelope and other game
which they have killed. When they
cannot get a meal in this way they
hunt for prey themselves, and. as they
are possessed of great speed and en-

to train these dogs and use them for

Dog Dined on Greenbacks.

Not long ago New York woman
went to police headquarters and com
planned that she had been robbed of
S400 in notes. rs well as three bank
books and deeds of property. Diligent
search failed to disclose any trace Of
robbers. and the case was put down as
one OF the many unsolyed mysteries of
the great metropolis. Two weeks later.
the victim of the loss appeared at the
station again and told a curious story.
The lady is the owner of pet dog, and
for several days it was noticed the ami
NAL spent much of its time sleeping
behind a hat rack in the hall adjoining
the bedroom, where the valuable pa
pers had been kept in tin box. One
day. while the hall was being cleaned
the rack was removed and behind it
the missing bank books ard deeds
were found But of ii. greenbacks not
a scrap could be discovered and the
conclusion was arrived at that the dog
had chewed up the whole four hun
dred dollars worth.
