morning recently they were fox hnnt-

and there was just enough dampness
on the leaves and grass TO give the
dogs good scent A fox was soon un-
oarthed and kept running In a circle

In the center overlooked the entire
course and after the hunt had con-
tinued for some considerable time
the fox made for a giant and Yenera.
Bile chestnut tree which had fallen
across a ravine. Into the hollow tree
dashed the fox, the dogs behind about
$50 yards behind Reynard was seen
to emerge from the other end of the
log and soon made of through the
forest
The dogs were thrown off the scent
at the hollow log, but soon caught It
again across the rayine and kept up
the chase for about half an hour or
more. Then the fox once more
disappeared in the hollow log to
emerge as before. The dogs again
trailed on, but in about another thir-
ty minutes the fox for the third time
entered the log and still again disap-
peared in the forest across the rayine
The dogs were about used up by this
time, though the fox appeared to be
quite fresh after the third trip through
the log. The hunters noticed this un,
accountable circumstances and began
to suspect something. They securely
closed up one end of the log and when
Reynard for the fourth time entered
they closed up the other end. Then
they procured axes and cut into the
tree. Their reward came in the shape
of three foxes, which had evidently
been racing the dogs by turns.
