course the deer can accomplish no damage. but
at least il can put the enemy To flight, and TINS
1t often does. The interesting thing about this
side Of Mr.. Millaiss studies Is that he has been
able to pursue them In districts where the care
OF the propretors in the feeding and develop
ment Of their herds produces often remarkable
instances OF tameness. and yet depriyes the deer
OF none Of their wild traits. In some cases. 1t
Is true, overlooking and immunity from pur-
suit have caused the animals to deterioratc.
Mr. Mais tells OF the vast Winans estate in
Scotland. which was closed to sportsmen from
1889 to 1894. Everybody imagined that the for
ests must be crowded with magnificent stays.
AS matter Of fact when fragment OF the
estate was sold while ago. It's purchaser set

noble sport. but although big stays were album
dant. their antlers had d"teriorated amazingly
through the very luxury in which the herds had
been living. AS rule. however the British
sportsmen who have raised herds and have
carefully watched their development have not
been disappointed. The deer thrive in England.
The atmosphere is exactly what they want. and.
as Mr.. Mais is never tired OF stating. the great
parks and estates in England and Scotland are
among the most spacious and glorious retreats
In the world The illustrations before us con-
firm this view There Is something astonish-
ing in the fact that the tight little island
contains regions OF such grandeur.
M. Millais is true to the most majestic notes
OF landscape that he has encountered but even
In the widest parts OF the country he has sue
ceedcd in getting that intimate view OF his
subject TO which have just referred.
One Of the most picturesque of these unfa-
miliar phases OF animal life Is that one which
relates TO the cunning Of the stag. He follows
n human instinct and provides himself with
younger male comp lnion. whom he compels to
act as his fag. While the flag watches his mas
ter feeds or rests. If the huntsmen appear the
old sinner behaves with an almost human ma
lightly. He drives the flag out into the open In
order to divert the dogs. and then makes the
