Col. Burr of Virginia was mighty
fox hunter, and loved the sport beyond
words He owned fine pack of hounds,
and, during the season. thought of moth
ing but his hunters, his dogs, and the
weather. He was once entertaining an
army friend from Texas, whose ideas of
hunting any animal involved the use of
fire arms, and who had never seen q
foxhound. He had been with difficulty
persuaded to go forth to meet, and IN,
they were waiting impatiently for the
hounds to take the scent. Presently
there burst upon their listening ears the
din Of thirty canine voices in full cry.
The coloners eyes cleaned, and, as he
settled his feet in the stirrups and
stretched his arm toward the yelping
pack, he cried: "Major, listen to that
heavenly music!' The major pricked up
his ears for a second or two, and then re-
piled: Il can't hear thing. Those
damned dogs are making such noise. y
The colonel put his spur savagely into his
horses side and dashed away, leaving
his guest to his own devices.-Argonaut.
