Easter Monday opened dismally. The rain
fell in torrents. the walking was unpleasant and
there was a mixture of chill and warmth about
the atmosphere which was very disagreeable.
The result was that the attendance of members
in the House was. small when the hour of noon
arrived.

yet with the regularity of machinery. At
short intervals little puff of vapor would
rise from this black shadow, and then the
clear voice of Jonah would come ringing over
the valley. Then the rest of the dogs,
groupe of shadows, with mnsical notes swept
across the Bermuda field.
"Oh, how beautiful" exclaimed Miss Car
ter, ciapping her little hands
"Wait" said Joe, ''don't make any noise.
He'll pass here and 90 to the fence yonder, and
if he isn't scared to death you'll see a pretty
trick" g
1t was q wide circle the fox made after he
passed through the Bermuda field. He crossed
the little stream that ran through the valley,
sbirted pine thicket. ran for quarter OF a
mile along "a plantation path. and then turned
and came down the fallow ground that lay
between the creek and the hill where Joe and
Miss Carter, with Harbert, had taken their
stand. 1t was a comparatively level stretch Of
nearly half mile. The old corn rows ran
Iengthwise the field, and down one of these
Old Sandy came, in full view of those who
were waiting to see him pass. He was run
ming rapidly, but not at full! Speed ana,
although his tongue was hanging out, he was
not distressed. Reaching the fence 200 yards
away from the spectators he clambered lightly
to the top, sat down on a rail and began to
lick his fore paws. stopping occasionally. with
one paw suspended IN the air, to listen to the
dogs. In moment or two more Jonah en-
tered the field at the head of the valley. Old

by this time the hunters had crossed the
fence, and the dogs, with the exception OF
Jonah, were beginning to cast about in the
broomsedge and brier patches.

watching the dog as he walked in quiet
dignity by the side of her horse.

gradually worked away from the horses. It
was noticed that he did not hunt as closely as
the other dogs nor did he nose the ground as
carefully. He swept the field in ever-wden-
ing circles, going in an easy gallop, that was
the perfection of grace and energy and
strength. Preoently Harbert cried out:
'Looky yonder, Marse Joe! Looky yon6er
at Jonah!'
All eyes were turned in the direction that
Harbert pointed. The dog was hunting where
the broomsedge was higher than his head,
and he had evidently discovered something,
for he would leap into the air. look around,
and drop back into the sedge, only to 20

energy.

The next moment Jonah gave tongue with
thrilling energy, repeated the challenge twice,
and was off, topping the fence like bird.
The effect on the other dogs was magical.
They rushed to the cry, caught up the red-hot
drag scrambled over the fence the best they
could, and went away, followed by cheer
from Harbert that shook the dew from the
leaves. The young men were OF, too, ana
Joe had all he could do to hold his horse, which
was in the habit of running with the hounds.
The sound, of the hunt grew fainter as the
dogs adross q stretch Of meadow land ana
through skirt Of woods to the open country
beyond, aud Joe and Miss Carter, accompanied
By Narbert proceeded leisurely to the brow OF
hill near by.
..If that is Old Sandy" said Joe, she will
come across the Bermuda field yonder, turn to
the left and PASS us not very far from the dead
pine yonder.' Joe was very proud OF his
knowledge.
"Why, we shall see the best of the hunt"
cried Miss Carter enthusiastically.
They sat on their horses aud listened.
Sometimes the hounds seemed to be coming
nearer, and then they would veer away
Finally their musical voices melted away IN
the distance Joe kept his eyes on the Ber-
muda field, and so did Harbert, while Miss
Garter tapped her horses name gently with
her riding whip and seemed to be enjoying
the scene. They waited q long time, and
Joe was beginning to grow diSheartened,
when HARDER; suddenly exclaimed
"Looz Wonder, Marse Joe! What datgWlne

Across the brow of the hill slipped taWny
shadow-slipped across and disappeared before
Miss Carter COuld see it.
"That's Old Sandy" cried Joe, "now watch
for Jonah!'
Presently the hounds could be heard again,
coming nearer and nearer. Then larger and
darker shadow sprang out of the woods ana
swept across the pasture, running swiftly. ana
