makes for the woods, goes in some dis
lance, then turns back, perhaps, till no
finds some leafy tree, up which he climbs
and hides himself till the ''hounds" have
gone by; anything to put them off the
track.
When the hare has gone far enough,
and wishes to return, especial care must
be taken, as, If he is seen, the hounds can
rush after him, "cross lots" and woe be-
tide him If he is caught He is no
longer champion, but has to give I'M his

has paid certain forfeit demanded BY

game fully as much as in England, keep
closer to the rules, and welcome each
hunting day as eagerly as the first one of
the season. Wednesday and Saturday af.
ternoons are usually chosen for hunts;
though sometimes an indugent teacher
will give the whole school an extra half
holiday for "hunt."
Does 1t seem strange to think of hav-
ing only half of Saturday for play9 1t
is almost universal custom, at least in
Scotch country places, to have school on
Wednesday and Saturday mornings till
noon, giving the rest of those days for
holiday, and boys there seem to like it 30.

known any other way.
But they get great deal of enjoyment
out of their "halfies" (as they call those
holidays), and after school hours as we'll,
