he were trying in this way to aid Aaron.
When old Scar-Face had been thoroughly
scratched along the spine. where his hind
foot could rot reach, he shook himself, lick
ed his chops and seemed TO feel very much
better.
And so you think I should move away
from my home, Son of Ben Alp old Scar
Face remarked. We'll, if you had come
saying, My friend, you are in danger; fly
and remain away many suns, tomorrow's
dawn would have found me miles away.
But when you say, Beware OF the dogs;
there is one called Hodo coming to run
you down. that is different. l want to hear
this strange dog yelping behind me, not too
close, but far enough away to make him
weary. I want to hear the noise of his

Woodranger has gone"
AS you please, old friend" said Aaron.
This Hodo has made great talk among the
hunters. / have warned you; 1T is all l can

There have been swift dogs after me-

there, I'll bid him goodbye"

NO. you re wrong; IL would be no sur

won many a race; you have broken down
many a pack of hounds; but you're not as
young as you were. And something tells
me that If you were in your prime this
hound would outfoot you. 1 know what

And I know what can do, Son of Ben
Ali; and I'll show you when the time
comes. I'll give this hound a warm scent
and I'll cut out for him a journey he'll
long remember"
This thing of remembering" said Aaron,

Old Scar-Face took a step forward, but

Whereupon Aaron himself took a step

Imagine the links to cover a half mile
each, and the difficulty which a dog would
have in untangling them with his nose, and
that too, while he Is trying to go at fun
speed will be easily perceived. When the
ordinary hounds failed to catch old Scar
Face, hunters from a distance came with
their Birdsong hounds. These were Irish
dogs, but We're called Birdsong because
they We're first bred in Georgia by plan
ter of that name. These taught old Scar
Face the necessity of getting on foot when
ever he heard a hound bark between mid
night and day: but when the BirdSOng
hounds found his drag warm the triple
links were sufficient to throw them out.
Here, then, was this famous old fox
grinning al Aaron and the children, almost
within reach of their hands. Sweetest Su-
san and Drusilla were plainly afraid of
him, for the white scar on his forehead did
not add to his beauty; but Buster John re-
garded him with great curiosity and inter
est.

Scar-Face.
Whereupon Aaron told of the fox hunt
that was to take place, and of a hound
named Hodo, who was almost famous
among 1OX hunters as Oiu Scdf-face MIN
self. During this recital the fox came out
of the tunnel, but sat upon his launches
close to the mouth of it, and held himself
In readiness to take refuge therein at the
slightest alarm.

Scar-Face.
IN the days when there is no working
in the fields and woods When you fail to
hear the AK and the rattle Of the wagon
then you may know the time for the hunt
is near at hand" said Aaron.
