lures during the past winter will scarcely
have forgotten the bright-eyed, sharp
nosed, bushy-tailed little rascal which APP
peared with me on the platform. and whose
silky head they patted at the close of the
evening. 1t MAY also be remembered that,
after his mate was killed by the dogs in
the fall. another mate was bought for
him. and that both foxes were housed in a
large wire cage in the garden.
Before the cold weather came l had
erected, on the north and east sides Of the
cage, high wind-breaks. which sheltered
the foxes from the bitterest of the storms.
In the lee of these a wooden den was
the ground and the other above it. At the
other end of the cage. which caught the
morning sunlight, a platform was built,
about two feet from the ground, that the
ANIMALS might lie and sun themselves.
away from the floor of the cage. as they
might lie on the top of rock If they were
free in the woods But the den they
scarcely ever used to sleep in, except dur
ing severe storms of rain or sleet; they pre-
ferred TO lie out on the bare platform even
in the coolest weather. when the Their
mometer went down to twenty degrees be-
low zero or lower. Before lying down they
usually walked around the platform in
very small circle, curving the whole
body inward. and then sinking down. al
ready curled up. the legs and face covered
by the bushy brush. Thus they would lie
often back 10 back. even when the heavy
was falling, and several times we
have found them in the morning with
nothing but their black eartips protruding

very restless. jumping in and out of both

the ''Tousey House" at Lawrenceburg Ind.
The house still stands in fair condition.
II shows what a magnificent structure il

steamboats, would always come to the side
of the boat from which a view of this house
could be had The house itself is of brick
and of colonial style. Directly in front of

the waters edge. The length of this lawn
was about a quarter of mile and was one
hundred yards wide. Near the house stood
two towering cedar trees, which still stand.
In this house Albert G.. Porter was raised
by his uncle, Omar Tousey. Porter was
Governor of Indiana from 1881 to 1885. The
house is directly opposite 'Tousey Town
and faces it. Near by is a row of houses
which were collectively known as the
Gamblers Row" During the age of the
flatboaters this was a favorite resort of
men. who. after disposing of their produce
in Southern ports would seek the card
tables of Gamblers Row.
These historic places still used as
dwellings. but are allowed to become almost
worthless through neglect and abuse.

we went away she carried it back into the
den where we eventually discovered the
whole family of five baby foxes And since

while wagging his tail and then he began
to leap playfully over it, each time landing
close to it but never upon it, How long
he would have amused himself in this way

the sport the vixen flew at him and drove
him off in hurry. Then she picked up
the baby and carried il away.
