ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.
Capture Of "silvertail," Noted Fox
After Hot Chase.


ROCKVILLE, Nd. January 4. 1908.
''Silvertail," a noted red fox, which has
infested this section Of Montgomery county
for the past eight or ten years, and which
has eluded the hounds of the Rockville
Hunt Club in many red-hot chases. has
finally been killed. The animal met it's
death yesterday afternoon after what is
unanimously declared by the me...bers Of
the club to have been the most exciting
chase they ever participated in. He did not
succumb, however, without a game strug-
gle The dogs were about "all in" at the
finish, nearly all of them being in a state
Of complete exhaustion.
The following well-known followers of the
hounds participated in the chase: Charles
A. Ciagett, Edward c. Windham, Reuben
Charles Windham, Edward Candy and DR..
Riley. With twelve of their best dogs they
assembled near Veirs mill, about two miles
from this place. In very few minutes a
hot scent was struck and the dogs were off,
all in full cry Not once was the scent lost,
and for fully four hours the hills and bot
toms of Rock creek were kept lively by
the notes Of the pursuing hounds. JUST
ceased, and 1t was at once surmised that
the fox had either been captured or run
In" After a brief search the dead fox was
discovered in the yard In front OF the resi-
dence of Mr.. Charles e. Garrett. near the
7th street pike, with the worn-out dogs
lying on the ground near by. The brush
was secured by Mr. Charles Clagett. and
Messrs Edward Windham and Reuben Bur-
riss each took an ear as remembrances Of
the gamest fox they ever chased.
The fox was named ~Silvertail'' because
of the fact that his tail for about four
inches from the end was perfectly white
He was a remarkable animal.

Hope House had carried him along SO
unanimously that he had let the old
relations with his home drift and yet,
in spite of all that had to be counted
into swift receding past, he could
not deny the strength of the blood re-

He turned from the professor with a
feeling of relief and began to chat with
his sister.
She was the same careless, thought
less, superficial creature she had al
ways been, and yet she had an affec-
ton for her brother that John Gordon
felt was very real. 1t touched him,
even while he was wounded by many
things she carelessly uttered about his
own choice of life.

contents. at seems very real to me-"
she added with light laugh.
John Gordon let his look go over the
interior of that princely residence. All
the soft, easy, luxurious appliances of
modern civilization within the reach of
lavish wealth were evident ON every
side. Velvet carpets, golden decora-
lions, the most costly pieces of art,
wood carving from Bavaria, exquisite
medallions, portraits by Sandalio, and
paintings the price of any one of
which would have been more than the
life earnings of a hundred families in
the tenements-before he was aware he
was putting flesh and blood values up
against all that physical luxury. Then
he suddenly looked into Mary's face
and said with a smile:
