DEVICES OF DOG THIEVES.
London Criminals That Have Made
Canine Kidnapping a Fine Art.
(Tit-Bits.)
Modern dog stealing is a line art.
and in inndon and the provinces there
are homes where‘stolen canines can
be left until an opportunity occurs for
getting rid of them, said a detective to
the. writer the other day. Until
quite recently a. little kitchen In a
crime stricken slum of Whitechspei
was given over entirely to the pure
pose of dog storing. When a thief
brought In his prey the master of the
"home" allotted a large soap box to
the animal.’ Each dog in this ‘ kit-
chen was supplied with a. kennel in
the shape of a wooden box, with a
tray for food. I believe the keeper
of the “home" charged two shillings
a week for each dog lodged and
boarded there.
A large number of stolen dogs are
shipped to the continent. Belgium
is the best market, for dog sales are
held in several of the principal towns
eyery week end. Fancy dogs fetch
very pod prices in Holland. Dogs
which will not fetch more than 85
in this country will sell as much as
£30 'In the land of the windmill.
lip till a short time ago there used
to be a great market for English dogs
in Paris. every English dog being
looked upon In the French capitol as
a "thoroughbred. " Whether a dog
had a pedigree or not. if it was Eng-
lish bred it must be “thoroughbred."
and accordingly, would command a
fabulous price. There Is scarcely
any market now In Paris, however.
the people there having discovered
that half of the dogs sent 'over from
London and sold as "throughbreds'
were next door to mongrels.
Dog thieves work in various ways.
and they have to be exceedingly care-
ful when on business beat; for it is
not every canine that will allow a
stranger to approach It. Many a
good dog will take a piece out of any
man's leg If he attempts to whistle It
off; so it Is desirable and necessary to
make friends, as it were.
There are many ways of doing
this. A dog thief seeing a. dog in a
park. for instance. which he thinks
will fetch a good price. will, if the
animal Is being led on leash, follow
it and its master. or mlstdess home.
Later on the stealer .loafs.round the
house. and finds out where the dog's
kennel is and also its name. One
dark night he pays a visit‘to the dog.
whispers Its he set tone,
and throwa the e of juicy
meat. After the it had two or
three such pieces of meet, it may al-
low the stealer to untie its chain' from
its kennel.» Then the dog follows the
man. Why? Because the‘ stealer
has about him a peculiar scent which
will induce a dog to follow him for
miles.
A year or two ago a dog thief man-
aged to secure a place at a West End
dairy. His business was to deliver
milk at the best houses in the early
morning, and he us’ed' to carry an
empty can of a good also on his
rounds. If a. small dog came to the
door it. was snatched up and put In

ment.
A dog stealer will not-risk sellin: 1'
the animals he steals authey are. He
carefully alters their appearance.
Here Is an example of dog faking. A
fine bull terrier was stolen from a
West End square, and when the thief
had got It In the privacy of his own
home he set to work to disguise It.
Upon its back he produced big patches
of liver color by homing its back with
caustic. A mark or two on Its ears and
a g“few on its paws completed the die-
