story of animal instinct was revealed
here when Capt. Walter du Brock dis

missing from the pack Of the Edge
water Riding club for ten days in a
cave It had dug on the banks of the
Des PLANES River near Glenview. The
dog had been shot accidentally and
his foreleg was broken in two places.
Capt. du Brock and the members
of the riding club were fording the
Des PLANES river when the trail of
the wounded dog was discovered. The
scent was picked up" by other dogs
of the pack and soon the wounded
hound was found.
Every preparation had been made
by the dog for its comfort in its
wounded condition. II had dragged
into the dugout mass of leaves and
small branches as a protection from
the frozen ground. Evidence that
/ the animal had prepared a food sup
ply before crawling into the cave
perhaps never to come out, was
shown on every side Pieces of de
cayed meat, small piece of frozer
pie and some rabbit bones were piled
in the center of the cave.

her. they did not dare to raise their
voices against it for fear 1T might hurt
them in the then pending election. Alter
that election they promptly selzed the
opportunity which their rascally minds
saw presented, of blackmailiug the coal
companies and threatening the transpor-
tation companies with legislation that
would put those companies forever az
the disposal Of machine campaign com
mittees. of the church Republican stripe.
The fact that from the same source q
blaeknuiiing prohibition propaganda
was begun two years ago and then sud
denly abandoned when the liquor IN
terests nut up the money demanded,
made il certain that the present move
of the Federal bunch blackmailers was
but a repetition of the old unscrupulous
rascaiity Every one recognized at once
that it was no desire to benefit the peo-
pie that called these blackmailers into
activity. but that this activity arose
simply because the bIackmailers thought
they saw an opportunity TO ply their
nefarious craft,
But every one recognized at sight the
same old. symptoms. The same old red
letter heads on the first page appeared
as in the prohibition matchmaking cnm-

that were expected to be the victims of
the blackmail; the same old violence of
language directed with the evident pur-
pose of having those against whom the
language was directed cover the extend
ed palm with coin.
And 20 il appears that the local coal
companies decline to be backmailed
They wll not put up to the blackmail-
ers. The transportation companies also
decline to be bIed And so the black
mailers are in Quandary They are ex-

frantic in their abuse, and are turning
to rend even their own friends. They
are now attacking the Secretary of
