HOUNDS DELIGHTED

In the viinity of my home in New Hamp-
shire foxes are among the commonest of
the wild animals. No one even hopes for
their total extermination-the possibility
of such a thing Is too remote even to ex-
cite hope. For my part, am pleased
that they are here. for l see them often.
and I am seldom too busy to watch fox.
Sometimes they may be seen crossing the
road at dusk, just moving shadows in the
uncertain light, but more often I get
glimpse of one in broad daylight, while he
is busy catching grasshoppers In some field.
With his head on one side, his ears cooked
forward and with his sharp nose pointing
to some object in the grass, he stands for
moment, rigid with attention. Then he
leaps upward in a graceful arch. and
alights with all four feet close together
Usually the grasshopper is underneath. and
the sharp muzzle is. poked down between
the paws to bring the luckless insect out.
My neighbors do not seem to enjoy seeing
q fox quite so much as do. They usually
get their glimpses Of him at night, after
being awakened by the squawking of the
hens, and often enough they see him leave
broilers in his jaws One good housewife
who lives within mile of me rears turkeys
for pin money, and one fine Sunday after
noon not long ago. while the birds were
feeding within a quarter of a mile OF the
house, the foxes got into the flock and
killed six before the owner could run over
to save them. Incidents of this kind have
been the cause of a war which Is never end
Ing, and in which, 50 far as / can see.

neither side has yet gained any decisive ad-
vantage. There is always enough chick
en-stealing to make it advisable to keep
guns and fox hounds, and there is always
enough fox hunting to keep the foxes in
good health, physically and mentally.
Had It All Planned.
The other day a neighbor Of mine de-
clared his intention of going fox-hunting
on the following morning and invited me
to go with him. 1 accepted the invitation,
and next day met him in his yard at day
light He had a gun himself, and offered
to loan me one, but declined with thanks,
as l do not keep chickens, and therefore
have no personal quarrel with the foxes.
Behind the barn four foxhounds were
chained. and we went round to loose them.
They were almost crazy with delight at
sight of the gun. and leaped and barked as
they never do If their master approaches
them empty handed. Two of them were
old dogs, trained fox-hunters, and these
were given their liberty at once, but the
other two were youngsters, and were taken
on the chain, to be liberated only after the
veterans had started fox.
We were scarcely out Of the yard when
the two old dogs struck out into the wet
fields with noses to the ground, and we
could see only their backs and tails. as
they shot from place to place. through the
d
woodland, and in less than ten minutes we
heard the deep "yow-yow" of one of the
old hounds he struck the trail of a fox.
My companion now slipped the young dogs.
and soon the little pack was in full cry
and tearing along In single file through the
forest and over the mountain side, their
musical voices echoing among the hills for
miles.
Habits Of the Fox.
fox, cunning as he is, has certain hab-
it's which frequently favor the hunter. For
instance, when running before the hounds
he often has regular route, perhaps some
miles in length, over which he leads the
dogs over and over again. The hunter,
seeing the dogs go by the first time, hot
on Reynard's trail, can secrete himself
near the PATH knowing that there is a fair
chance Of getting the fox on his next
round. To be sure the crafty little crea-
ture is apt to vary his course more or less,
but the experienced fox-hunter knows that
there are certain points along the trail
which are more likely to be visited than
others. and of course he chooses one of
these points for his stand" This is just
what my companion did. We saw the dogs
go past below ridge Of high ground which
overlooked valley. and presently we were
crOuching behind the stump of a tree. wait
ing for the coming of the fox Some
twenty yards below US a rock jutted out Of

the hillside, and my neighbor assured me
that there was every probability that the
enemy would come to that rock. He had
already shot three foxes there from his
present hiding-p place.
The voices of the hounds sounded fainter
and fainter and finally died away In the
distance and the man with the gun said
that it might be twenty minutes before
we heard them again In the meantime
he told me stories of other animals he had
hunted-of weasels and rats which had
destroyed his poultry; of an eagle which
had attempted to carry off one OF his
lambs, and of a black bear which years
ago had broken into a sty and killed
three full-grown pigs
The Hounds Are Coming.
And so the time passed until we again
heard the baying of the hounds, which
had been almost round the HILL and which
were now approaching US as fast as thew
could travel looked in the direction OF
the sound, and far away, in field OF
llght-colored, sun-burnt grass I caught a
