A CAT Halter CURED.
How Dash Learned TO Take Care Of HIs
Mistress Pussy.

Mistress Pussy.
Dash was a Gordon setter who had
enjoyed the full confidence of all the
members of large household for half
a ifetime-that is to say, half dogs
lifetime. From puppyhood he had been
petted and treated as a person of i'm
portance.
He had many pleasures, but the
greatest was being sent scampering
down the long garden in pursuit of
cats ignorant that this particular piece
of ground belonged to dog.
Dash's master disliked cats almost as
much as the dog, and as these animals
made havoc with his flowers, breaking
down his favorite rose trees and lying
in the midst of his Canterbury bells.
perhaps his dislike was no more TO be
condemned than the dogs. However
that may be, the moment a cats nose
or tail appeared at any corner of the
garden wall Dash was summoned to
give chase. Cats and the legs of the
iceman were two morsels that Dash
longed TO taste. The man had acct
dentslly hit the dog with piece Of ice
which he was throwing away, and on
another occasion he had shaken his
tongs at him.
One day Dash bounded into the sit
ting-room in answer to call from his
mistress and found her petting little
ball of black fur, which on being set
down on the floor in front of him
bumped up its back and Missed at him
like a snake. A cat! Dash could not
believe his eyes. How kind Of the mis-
tress to give him such a treat He
pricked up his ears and wagged his tail
and then pounced toward the kitten.

caught that he made up his mind never
to take unnecessary risks again.
He had been visiting a farmyard
that was quite a way from his burrow,
that the burrow had been filed up with
earth. At first Reynard thought that
1t was done by the badger who had
lived in the hole before Reynard drove
him out; but soon he saw the marks of
a spade, and knew that man had been
there.
While he was examining the burrow,
suddenly he heard the cry of the
hounds, and he knew that the hunt
was out and was after him. He
dropped the fat hen he was carrying
and trotted away from the dogs, mean
ing to slip out along little ravine he
knew of. But no sooner had he
reached the edge of the wood than he
heard a man shout. Then he knew he
would have to run for it.
Away he shot, his long brush sweep
Ing the ground. The hounds came
straight after him, and he had to in
crease his speed. But, tired from his
long journey, he found the hounds
would not be able to reach the little
ravine in which he had so often puz-
zled the keenest hounds.
Still at full speed he looked right
and left, and saw thick row Of bushes
on one side. Turning SHARPLY he ran
toward them, for he knew there was a
railway cutting behind them, and
hoped to cross it in time to reach the
further bank before the dogs. Once
hidden from the huntsmen he knew of
twenty tricks by which to throw off
the dogs and get away to safe cover.
Unfortunately as he leaped through
the row of bushes his hind legs caught
between two springy shoots that held
him like a trap. Nearer came the dogs;
harder poor Reynard struggled; but
try as he would he could not pull his
legs through between the stems. He
was about to give up the struggle
when he heard the rattlety-bang of a
freight train coming along the track.
This scared the fox more than ever, for
he thought that it might keep him
from crossing the track even if he
should free himself.
He struggled desperately, and, at
last, by quick push of his fore legs.
threw his body back from between the
sticks. He was at liberty-but just
then the hounds were upon him!
Reynard made one long leap half
way down the bank, and at that mo-
ment the train came opposite him so he
couldn't cross the track. But Reynard
then showed what bright old fox he
was, for, giving anotherjump, with the
foremost hounds at his very heels, he
caught the rear end of platform car
the last car of the moving train.
Then, feeling quite safe, Reynard
turned his head and gave the baffied
hounds farewell smile.
Reynard, after this close shave, made
up his mind to find a home not quite
so near the fox-hounds. He remained
on the rain until he was well out OF
/ reach. and he never went back 10 his
! old quarters. This was unfortunate
for the poor little rabbit whose bur.
row Reynard stole when he took new
! home.
The huntsmen often wondered how
the fox got away, but the dogs never
