Some five years later. as a youth

More Than 200 Trails.

More than 200 successful trails have
been made by Captain Mullizin and his
bloodhounds since he began work in
Kentucky, and more than 400 persons
have beer captured and convicted or
confessed and effected a compromise as
a result OF the work.
The first important work In which
the leading hound, Nick Carter. took
part was six yearas ago. when the
dog was one year old. Tom Brown. q
negro, OF Jessamine county, overpow-
cred and criminally assaulted a young
school teacher as she was returning 20
her home. through a lonely wood The
cog was put on the trail OF the negro,
and followed him several miles 10 his
home. up the stairs, and TO the bed,
where Brown lay The negro was
taken before the young lady. She
Identified him fully. and Brown was
taken 70 a tree a short distance away,
and lynched by the men who had cap
tured him.
One OF the most important cases that
Nick Carter ever took part In was thu
tracing OF the slayer OF James r. York.
near Lawrenceburg- Two aged brothers.
IS. II. and J. R. York. lived near
Lawrenceburg. IN August. 1905. James

pected. Nick Carter and Captain Null
liken were sent FOR. and when they
arrived on the scene the aged brother
OF the murdered man. W H York.
was seen 70 slip out OF the crowd.
The bloodhounds took up the scent and
went straight to ". II. York. The old
man was arrested and. after a trial.
was convicted OF numbering his brother
through envy and avarice, and con
fsssed- He IS now serving a life sen

There. under the white stars-un-
der the wide sky by side they lay
my mother and her husband. But be
tween those two Eraves-the one green
with Gods fresh grassland the other
new scar in the soil-there stalked
the spectre of my hate. Years came
and went and once, in a passing
fancy-dreaminE that he still lived and
that my hatred might not lull itself
TO sleep-I wrote these lines, which
call:
