trail was cold. There were Ave bea-
giles in the pack. Their keeper
tapped the shoe track with stick
and they put their noses to it and
seemed perplexed as they shifted and
murmured over it. He urged them
on by calling out to the leader, "Git
him, Trump"
They took up the trail, though
slowly, and followed it about seventy
yards to the border of the woods,
but. there it ended. AS they came to
the end Of the trail they gave few
sharp, quick barks, and looked up at
their master, as if for further orders.
He saw at once that horse had been
hitched to a limb of the tree at which
the hounds had halted, and he stated
that it was light sorrel horse with
some white spots upon it, for he had
discerned hairs of those colors stick
ing to the bark of the tree where the
animal had rubbed against it. The
murdered had evidently come on
horseback and, after doing his awful
work, had remounted there.
He put them on the horses track,
and, as it was stronger scent, they
followed it with that long gallop Of
the beagle hound which can tire,
with its staying powers even the
tough sinews of the wolf 1t led
through the carriage gate into the
public road. Seven we'll mounted
men, in addition to the keeper, rode
with the hounds.
They followed the trail for fifty
miles. 1t ended at the stable door
OF a handsome country house about
six miles from Waynesboro, Ga.
Among the horses in the stable was
a thoroughbred sorrel mare with a
broad white blaze in her forehead.
The dogs took the trail at the stable
and ran it to cabin in the negro
quarter, where the hostler was found.
In reply to inquiries he stated that
the sorrel mare belonged to DR.. Cath
CART, and that the doctor had ridden
her home the afternoon before after
being out all night, and that he was
then in the house. He further stated
that when DR.. Cathgart returned he
wore dark brown suit with sack
coat. Theiproprietor of the mansion
was soon aroused, and the deputy
sheriff, who acted as spokesman for
the party, stated that they had i'm
portant business with DR.. Cathgart
and wished to see him at once. After
some parleying they were shown up
to his room. He was dressed, and
opened his door as they approached
and asked what their business was
with him at that hour. The deputy's
answer was "Hugh Cathgart, / ar
rest you for the murder of Henry L.
Porteous. ARREST me?" exclaimed
Cathgart. where's your warrant?
What's your evidence against me?
Take care what you are about; you're
in Georgia now" He was informed
that they were not there to argue,
but to act, and that they intended to
take him back to Barnwell dead or
alive.
He was convicted and hanged
within thirty days after the commits
sion of the crime. He admitted his
guilt just before his execution. Mr..
Porteous was the murderer's uncle,
with whom he had quarrelled over
money matters.-T. j. Mackey, in
The DogloVer's Magazine.

Rats in London.

Rats, which have of late become
a great nuisance to the London tubes
by attacking the coverings Of electric
cables have been driven from their
haunts by means of a virus which,
when eaten by rats or mice, causes
them to be overcome with the desire
to get into the outer air and to drink
cold water. 1t is curious and ins
teresting fact that the rats knew
where the tube was nearest to the
surface, as evidenced by the great
numbers which found their way to
the top at the Trafalgar square sta
ton.

THE WELL-BRED GIRL.

Breeding is the one thing in our
mercenary land that cannot be
bought. No amount of money or
position will make up for that indie
Enable something which we call being
well-bred.
The Well-bred girl may be as poor
as that proverbial mouse of churchly
haunts, but no one will question her
right to be called lady, in the good
old sense of woman of refined feel
ing and deeds.
Rudeness is something that the
well-bred girl never permits herself
However much she may be tempted
to be snubby or cutting when people
deserve it, she remembers that paying
one back in ones own coin is ill-bred
Good breeding, while often mat
ter of inheritance, is more often due
to careful training and desire not
to hurt another's feelings. The girl
who is well-bred never presumes
upon her position, nor is she loud and
conspicuous in appearance and man
ner.
The well-bred girl rarely apollo
gizes. She does not do or say things
that make apologies necessary, and
she does not feel apologize for her
environments, however simple.
If the truest hospitality is to give
strangers exactly what one has with
out comment, so also is it a sign of
good breeding. 20 make splurge
for outsiders, that outsiders know to
be splurge which can be i'll afford
ed, is sign that one does not feel
socially secure.
The well-bred girl does not gossip
nor carry tales nor talk scandal. All
the other girls may do it, and it may
seem quite harmless and amusing,
but 1t is something that the girl Of
truly refined feelings finds revolving.
If for no other reason, a girl
should shun talk that she would not
be willing to stand by, because it
often leads to unpleasant scenes and
involves others in a network Of dis
agreeableness that is anything but
sign of good breeding.
The well-bred girl is not boastful,
aggressive nor unduly self-assertive.
Above all, she is not a toady. There
IT, no surer sign of lack Of breeding
than to strive to curry favor with
one who, by force of circumstances,
may have more money or influence
than you have.
Gushing or disclosing ones private
affairs to a scofing world is any
thing but well-bred. A quiet, inter-
ested, gracious manner that has it's
reserves leaves no doubt as to the
claims Of girl or woman to good
breeding.
Above all, this Well-bred girl avoids
scrapes Of any kind. She does not
do things that are open to question,
knowing that no girl can afford to
ignore public opinion and get herself
talked about.
The well-bred girl is the self-re-
specting girl; she will no more per-
nit impertinences than she would
think of offering them. She knows
she is lady, and asks no more than
to act the part and to be treated
as lady should be.
No one ever heard Of a girl Of

The most remarkable case tnat l
know of in which beagle hounds were
employed in the interest Of public
justice occurred in Barnwell district,
South Carolina, about 1S45. Mr..
Porteous, a childless widower, pos
sessed Of a large estate in land and
slaves, lived on his plantation, where
his cousin, woman of about fifty
years, and her daughter, of seven
teen or eighteen, kept house for him.
He was not over sixty, but his health
was very feeble. 1t was his custom
to have himself called every morning
at o'clock by his body servant, who
aided in dressing him. One morn
ing the servant knocked at the bed
room door, as usual, and receiving
no answer, after repeating his loud
knocks many times, and the door
being locked, he reported the strange
occurrence to his mistress. A neigh
Dor was summoned, and, at his sug-
gestion, the door was forced On en-
tering the room they we're Mortified
to see MI. Porteous lying dead upon
his bed with his throat cut.
A bloodyR razor lay close to his
right hand, and clearly indicated that
he had committed suicide. He had
on a night shirt, the left sleeve of
which was ripped, and, being unbut-
toned, the greater portion of his left
Avyncnd Tho v1rin+ Of q
bloody hand was seen plainly on that
arm, and it was naturally supposed
to have been made by him in his
death struggle. The theory of self
destruction was further strengthened
by the fact that the door was found
locked and bolted on the inside.
There were three windows to the
room, and, although the sashes were
up, as it was warm July night, the
blinds were closed and fastened by
their catches to the window sill. The
chimney was carefully examined, and
it was seen that the fues were too
narrow to admit the entrance of a
man to the room through one of
them. On the arrival of the family
physician, who had been sent for, he
proceeded to make an examination of
the body. AS his practiced eye
caught sight of the finger prints he
exclaimed: "Mr. Porteous was MUIR
dered! The four finger marks and
the thumb mark on the left arm were
made with the left hand. F"
A careful inspection of the window
blinds showed that the catch on one
of them was much worn, and did not
hold to the iron cleat on the sill, and
that the blind could readily be pulled
open when apparently fastened. The
bedroom was in the second story of
the house, and it was observed that
the window with the loose catch
could be reached by a man climbing
out on limb of an oak tree that
grew near. The ground was bare
around the foot or the tree, and a
shoe track was seen in the loan. The
track faded out in the grass plot
within few feet of the tree, and did
not appear again beyond it. Hounds
were sent for, and arrived about 8
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The day dawned at 4 O'Clock in.
that season of the year, and as the
murderer must have done his bloody
work before that hour, he had at
least twelve hours start, and the
