This was old Scar Face. the inVincible,
celebrated throughout Middle Georgia
as the fox which had outfooted and
out-maneuvered every kennel of
hounds brought against him. The ordi
nary hounds which had been used for
chasing gray foxes were simply the
playthings of old Scar-Face. He was
in the habit of using them for the pur-
pose of practicing new movements. He
had one scheme, which, when he was
net feeling well, he was in the habit
of working on his pursuers. 1t may

To Leave Chicago For Either st.

Cincinnati Enquirer)
The ferris wheel, one of the great
est wonders at the Worlds Columbian
exposition, no longer draws at Chicago
The owners have been receiving offers
for some time, and are now undecided
whether to favor st. Louis where it is
wanted as an attraction in the Louisi-
ana Purchase Centennial to be held in
1903. or New York. where it would do
well in any of the large summer re-
sorts. The wheel has fallen into odium
in the city of its childhood days. When
the Columbian exposition was over it
was dismantled and rebuilt at North
Clark street and Wrightwood avenue.
1t failed to make money until a COM
pany that acquired control of it eStab-
lished an amusement park at its base,
with vaudeville and summer garden
features. Adjacent property owners
fought the park authorities bitterly
when they sought to secure a liquor
license for the resort. carrying their
opposition through successive stages of
litigation until the proprietors' rights
were finally affirmed in the Illinois SUI
preme court. Since then the wheel has
done a thriving business as a summer
attraction. drawing much patronage
from visitors to the city who had never
seen anything of the order. But the
enemies of Sunday amusement are af-
ter it still and finally won their point.

the top of the hill he halted his shat
tered hand and offered battle, for the
hill was hard to climb, and he hoped to
punish the blue general as he came on.
Seeing the great advantage they held,
the gray column took new courage and
fought desperately. Steadily forward
the blue general led his men, drunk
with the thought of a;victory that was
three-fourths gained. Many there were
who went down that slope, but the rest
pushed on and up until the gray column
began to waiver. The desperate but
thoroughly beaten men looked appeal
ingly to the gray major, and at last
seeing the utter hopeleSsness of further
resistance he ordered another retreat.
Now. as at the foot OF the hill, the
dauntleSS leader sat gazing with min
gled hatred and admiration at the stout
figure at the head of the blues. And as
he looked a bullet came whirring ur
the hill and pierced the breast of the
gray major. He sank upon the neck of
his faithful animal and then rolled
helplessly to the earth.
The blue general, having paused with
his fieldglass to his face, saw the brave
major fall. but when he reached the
summit of the hill he observed that the
officer had fallen a little to one side of

Many men who had fought against
the blue general had come to know him
personally and to respect him. If now

away from the driver and went flying
down the street.
The boys in the pony cart were Turn
ing slowly, their cart hanging cross
wise of the street. They were talking
and laughing, utterly unconscious of
the danger they were in. A man who
wore a SLOUGH hat and had about him
the air of an army officer, saw the horse
coming down the street, ana saw the
danger the children We're in.
Without a moments hesitation he
put himself in the middle of the road,
between the children and the runaway
horse.
The horse seemed to be blind with
fright, but as he neared the man he
swerved slightly, so that the wagon
missed the cart, but ii caught the man
and rolled him over and over In the
dusty road.
The general, who was walking in the
avenue, saw it all and hurried to the
man.

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 full 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 were first bred in Georgia
by a planter OF that name. These
taught old Scar-Face the necessity of
getting on foot whenever he heard a
hound bark between midnight 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
trimming at Aaron and the children,
almost within reach of their hands.

plainly afraid Of him, for the white
scar on his forehead did not add to his
beauty; but Buster John regarded him

at the rear. He sat his horse going
down the valley with an expression of
bitter disappointment upon his face, and
hatred for his triumphant adversary
filling his breast. He glanced back UP
the gentle slope, down which his men
had charged awhile ago, and saw them
toiling up the hill again, bearing their
dead and wounded and staining the
stones with their young blood.
The column of blue was steadily adj

general, who had turned the flank OF
the grays as tin sword turns when
driven against a stone wall.
"D-n the Yankeesi" was all the gray
major could say, and then driving the
spurs into the TANKS of his horse he
