MANS BEST FRIEND"
DOGS EMPLOYED AS GUARDS BY
GREEK ARMY. /.
They Replace Railway SentrIes and In
Paris Render Valuable Aid
to the PoIlce-Are Above
Bribery.

After several attempts had been
made to damage the railways used for
the transportation of Greek troops
into Turkish territory, dogs were EN-
ployed to guard the lines, the Greek
government being unable to spare sol.
diers for the purpose. The results
were excellent At Larissa in particu.
lar the entire railroad line was effica-
ciously protected by dogs.
So much interest has been aroused
in Europe by this new use for dogs
and the success of the experiment
that reports have been officially asked
for by the various European military
authorities concerning the special
training Of the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found invalu-
able in Paris, and they have been as
signed to important duties. All along
the banks of the Seine dogs watch for
accidents. II careless passenger or
an unwary boatman falls off one of
the many boats and barges plying
constantly up and down the Seine,
one Of the big beautiful Newfound-
land river guards bounds into the wa
ter to the rescue, barking to give the
alarm and after swimming with the
limp body to the shore. Even the
bridges are closely watched by the
dogs, for from the Seine bridges many
despairing men and women leap into
the river, hoping thus to end their
misery.
1t Is now believed that countless
railway wrecks due to deliberate de-
sign during labor troubles could be
prevented If railroad sections were
policed by dogs. Their efficacy in this
duty has been unquestionably proved
In the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort pris-
oners to and from Jail In Paris. They
will courageously attack their enemy
even when fired upon, as a notorious
bandit found to his cost during a re-
cent struggle to escape while being
conveyed to trial. This is result
obtained by careful training.
How to defend his master Is an.
other important lesson taught the po.
lice dog. The dog must snarl and bite
as soon as an attempt to hold up his
master is made. In this the police
dog is developing marvellous qualities.
Guarding property is another of the
police dogs duties, and in this also
he has proved himself an adept. Ar
ticles left In his care are safe and
faithfully watched.
His moral training forms as much
of police dogs education as his pro-
fessional lesson. He is taught to be
honest and faithful and not to accept
a bribe. The latter is important be-
cause poisoned meat is often offered
to these dogs. The police dog soon
learns to eat nothing but what his
master serves him, and Is an example
to many men in his resistance to
temptation.

DOLL. MAKING AN INDIAN ART
Marvellous Miniatures Are Those
Turned Out by Clever Aborls-
Ines of Mexico.

It is thought that the tiniest dolls
are those made by Mexican Indians.
They are barely three-fourths OF an
inch long in many cases, but are new
ertheless perfect in detail.
The method of manufacture Is as
follows: First there is a -diminutive
framework of wire. This is then wound
with fine silk thread until the proper
figure has been secured. The cos
tunes are then cut according to the
character Of the doll, and fitted to 1t.
With needles that can scarcely be
held in the fingers, needles Of which
the eyes are almost invisible, various
designs are embroidered on the dolls
clothes with the finest of silk threads.
So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through a
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work Is ac-
complished without the aid Of any
-enlarging device.
Once properly dressed, the doll is
given its hair. Even to the details
of braids and ribbons this work Is
carried out. Then there are formed
the eyes, nose, mouth, hands and
feet.
In Mexico these dolls are sold for
ridiculously small sums. 1t takes about
two hours Of painstaking labor to
make one Of the simplest of the man.
ikins.
Some dolls are provided with tiny
baskets of flowers, fancy sombreros,
water jars and other paraphernalia.
The baskets are made Of hair by the
Indians Of Guanajuato. The bits of
pottery are made of clay, in exact i'm
itation of the practical sites. All these
accessories are sewed to the dolls.
Miniature roses are embroidered in
the costumes Of the dancing girls and
ornaments are arranged In their hair.
Wreaths Of flowers are hung about the
shoulders and the arms are formed in
graceful and life-like attitudes Of dane
ing. The matador is complete in
every particular-hi costume being
gayly decorated in many colors, the
hair dressed in true Spanish fashion,
including the conventional queue.

He did not look a criminal, for he
stood very straight and square, re-
garding the three of US with an
amused smile.
"Of course, I had no right to be

Il should like word in private, Mr..

They walked of together, leaving
me alone with Mr.. Thomas Appleton,

myself. But how in heavens name,

the subject.
Coran returned, with a face OF vim
dictive indecision. Under his veil OF
austerity there had smouldered a dan.
gerous temper, which was close upon
bursting into flame. But, after all, he
had excuse enough. Heaven alone
knew what baulked ambition, what
treacherous insults he had come to
associate with this young man. The
same passions actuate humanity,
whether they view the world from one
lend of the telescope or the other.

1T would certainly create a great
scandal in Brendon," said Appleton,
firmly.

Innocent! What were you doing

"That Is my business"
