It, but the stranger bowed and ac-

reason crimes escape discovery Is not
that criminals are SO bright, but that
detectives in general are so particular

So does Sir Conan Doyle. And l have

Ancient Uses Of BIoodhounds.

Although the use of bloodhounds
for tracking criminals still survives.
another ancient use of these dogs
seems to have died out. Bloodhounds
were at one time often called upon
to assist an army in the field. the
forces with which the earl of Essex
suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time Of Elizabeth, for instance, being
accompanied by 500 dogs. In the Scot
fish clan feuds and the wars between
England and Scotland bloodhounds
were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors. and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted In this man
ner. Wallace is said to have bafded
his pursuers by killing follower and
leaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the less
cruel plan of wading some distance
down stream and ascending a. tree
which overhung the water.
