When hotly pursued by the British troops the robbers make use of a very clever device. They conceal their scant clothing under their small round shields and scatter them about to resemble stone or bowlders. Then picking up a few twigs—if there are any to be had—they assume all sorts of grotesque attitudes, their almost flesh less limbs silhouetted against the dark night sky closely resembling the charr ed limbs of a tree. Absolutely motion less, they hold their positions till the enemy has passed them. In this way a British subaltern In charge of a party sent to capture some Bhils was considerably startled one evening. The pursuit had completely lost sight of tlie robbers and finally the party drew rein by a clump of gimrled and bent trunks, tired and hot from their hard exertions. The officer in charge took off his hat and placed It on the end of a broken limb, when In stantly there was a wild scream of laughter and the tree trunks suddenly came to life and vanished in the dark ness. DOGS THAT LOVE MUSIC. Maryland Farmer Sattstie 1 that Their Howie and Whines Mean Approval. Robert Wickes, one of the most ar dent lovers of dogs in Maryland, who constantly keeps a large kennel of fox hounds, water dogs and diminutive pets, several years ago entertained visitors to his home with what lie term ed his “canine orcbestry.” Provided with an accordion, violin, and several other instruments, the members of Mr. Wicks’ household commenced an en livening air in the dining-room of his home. Immediately the dogs crowded to the door of the kitchen and set up their whines of approval, or even de light. When admitted into the room they crowd around the players and in dulge In a most novel performance un til either they are tired out or the musi cians are forced to suspend playing from sheer exhaustion. Their whin ing is solemn when some dragging air is played, but a veritable bedlam is reached when the quick strains of the “Fisher’s Hornpipe” are played. That their sensations are those of pleasure and not of discomfort is unmistakably shown by the fact that they can scarce ly be forced from the room so long as the music continues. In the old high-ceiling country kitch en the writer has seen mice steal out and become quite tame in response to the performance of some old negro fid dler, who, apart from his perfect time, succeeded In drawing but little music from the dilapidated violin, though, of course, the sounds are musical. There is no reason, too, to believe that dogs, like human beings, are not all ap pealed to by exactly tlie same sounds. What will attract the notice of and call forth the deep bass solo of the mastiff or the Chesapeake Bay water dog may not appeal to the household pet or the farmyard cur or fox hound, and vice versa.
