was not killed. and Red Fox had no desire to
hazard final mix-up with those desperate hoofs.
In this novel chase there had been thought of
hunting, but only of wiping out an affront. At
last though with certain hesitation of manner,
Red Fox got up, feeling that he had indicated his
dignity in a fashion that the arrogant bucks of
Ringwaak would not be likely to forget
Just at this moment, however, affairs took
totally unexpected turn. 1t CHANGED that
great limb of the tree under which the tired buck
had been brought to bay there crouching, fiat
against the bark and invisible among the tawny
leaves, huge wildcat With noiseess intentness
the great had watched the ending of the strange
chase and noted the exhaustion of the buck. Now,
the moment Red Fox started away the buck began to
off tremblingy in the opposite direction, seek
ing deep covert where he might lie down and rest.
Seeing his grand opportunity slipping by, the wildcat
sprang, mouth wide open, claws outstretching. He
aEghted square upon the bucks fore shoulders and
sank his teeth into the side of the latters neck.
Snoring in terror, and galvanized into new life
by the attack the buck sprang forward, right in the
direction of Red Fox. The latter wheeled sharply,
thinking the fight to be renewed and darted
back with the intention of making his victory this
time more complete and unambiguous. The buck
no longer saw him. Blinded by his panic.
he bounded straight ahead, carrying his deadly
burden. Within ten feet of Red Fox, however,
the fates of the wilderness would have it, he
beneath low outreachng branch, which caught
the big cat across the and swept him clearly
from his perch to the ground, half stunned.
The next moment the mad buck vanished among
the trees, leaving Red Fox and the wildcat
fronting each other astonshed, with nothing but
a blueberry-bush between them.
Red Fox stopped short, unwilling to face the cats
eviscerating claws, but still more unwilling to
away. The cat, however, though taller and heavier
than the cool and steadyeyed red beast confronting
it. was in mood for strenuous battle. Feeling
dazed by the sudden blow and daunted by the
sudden reverse it wheeled about with spit and
yowl and up the tree to which it owed its defeat
Red Fox, merely to emphasize his triumph,
strolled up and shifted menacngly at the tree-trunk

dog might a solitary wolf in dealing with
moose, and nipped the buck srnartly the hind leg
Deeply insulted, the buck wheeled about and
struck at his presumptuous assailant. But Red
Fox already beyond his reach. After couple
of futile rushes, he gave up the effort and again
moved away grandly about his business. No
sooner had he fairly turned, however, than he felt
again Red Fox long, avengn teeth in his hind leg
With little worry mingled in his rage, the buck
turned once more. But this time he made only one
effort to catch his nimble assaant. Then he stood
and eyed Red Fox, shaking his proud antlers and
stamping with his fine-edged fore hoofs Thereupon
Red Fox around him half dozen times this way
and that in dazzling swift circles, which kept the
tall animal wheeling nervously in the effort to face
him. At last he darted in cleverly that he got
another nip at the bucks hind leg Whereupon the
buck, demoralized, made wild leap into the air,
and started away in great leaps the meadow,
the brook, and through the burned woods.
This was victory to swell even Red Fox's heart
with pride-and his mate had been watching it all
from the door of her den. The natural and fox
like thing for the victor to have done was to
be content with such triumph. But Red Fox
wanted to infct punishment. Moreover, he had
learned a great deal from the persistent trailing
of the dogs which had prosecuted him. Like
a hunting dog, therefore, he set out in pursuit of
the fleeing buck, following him by sight through
the black and bleak ruins of the woods.
In a few minutes the buck, somewhat short
wnded from his earlier efforts paused and looked
back. In moment he caught sight of the low red
figure, belly to earth and stretched straight out,
coming up on him swiftly through the blackened
stumps In panic he ran on again till the pursuer
out of sight. Then again he stopped to take
BREATH running back little way after the custom
of his kind, and lying down with his face toward
the danger. But he had no more than settled HIM

than again the red pursuer in sight. following
implacaby. With heart almost bursting the
harassed buck sprang to his feet and resumed his
flight through the trunks and tall rampikes.

heritage sprang up all over it. from the brooks edge
back to the woods, and it lay like jewel in its
brlliancy, the spot of green young life in the
blackened expanses of ruin. The den above the
meadow, of course, the worse. In fact,
the desolation surrounding it made it all the more
secure from intrusion or discovery
Along in the last week of September, one evening
about sunset, Red Fox enjoying a good stretch
after nap beneath his juniper-bush, when he
a tall, high-antered red buck standing about ten
feet away and eying him with kind of hostile
curiosity. 1t was ruttlng season, when, Red
Fox knew, the bucks always looking for
trouble But he also knew that the handsome
arrogant-looking beast could have no possible
excuse for a quarrel with him. He finished his
stretching unconcernedy therefore, then sat up
on his launches and stared, good naturally enough
at the visitor. What was his surprise, then, when
the latter, apparently enraged because the small
red animal by the Juniper-bush did not afraid
suddenly bounded at him with a beautiful graceful
ferocity and struck at him with his keen fore hoofs
Had of the big black stumps on the hillside
bounced upon him. Red Fox could not have been
more astonshed, for the many triumphs of his
sagacity and strength had given him certain
arrogance. He nsuted well as astonished
His astonishnent, however, did not make him lose
his wits. He out of the way like a flash before
that murderous hoof descended. But the angry
buck followed him up, bounding like a great ball,
and striking again and again at the small, brush
tailed creature which easily eluded him. With
each failure he grew and more irate; but at
last half wnded with the violence of his efforts he
stopped, his great red sides painting For half a
minute he stared at Red Fox irresolutey; while
Red Fox sat up his launches ten yards off and
stared back with unruffed, indifferent air Then,
apparently concluding that he had made mistake,
the vicious tempered animal wheeled daintily and
moved off the meadow.
But he was not to get away easily. Red
Fox's blood was up. The attack had been I'M
provoked and altogether senseless. Between the
foxes and the deer there had always been kind of
informal peace their interests in way conflicting
Red Fox was minded to make the naughty animal

tom of his kind, he now slipped forward swiftly,

out of the burned woods
and into the unsecured
forest. Here owing to
Red FoX's comparative
ly Indifferent powers of
trailing, the buck would
have had a great advan-
tage had he been fresh.
But instead of that he
was now on the verge
of utter collapse. Once

coverts he stopped, un-
able to run a step far

trembling so that they

this most vindictive of
foxes, whom he had SO

Red Fox came up. The
buck struck at him
frantically, but he kept

situation. Then he sat
up about twenty feet
away and coolly eyed
the unhappy buck. He

complete, the venge-
ance surely effective.

~ weeks of drought,
a forest fire had
swept across the wooded
uplands. On the heels
of the fire came long
drenching rains, which
quenched the smolder-
ing moss and stumps,
filled the brooks and
ponds, and brought
back hope and the joy
of life to the Ring
walk country. But
there remained a cruel
black scar across the
landscape, along the
upper slopes of the
ridge, stretching from
the region of the lower
lakes all the way over
into the wild Otta-
noonsis Valley. 1t was
p scar which succeeding
springs would soften
with the balm of bush
and weed and LEAKAGE,
though two generations
would hardly avail to
efface it.
To Red Fox it was
a hateful thing, because
it represented a vast
and rich hunting-range
spoiled. The little mea-
dow, however, had suf-
fered no irreparable
damage, because, there
being no growth of
bushes upon it to feed
the fire, the roots of the
grass had not been
burned out of the soil.
Immediately after the
rains a fresh Young

A Waste of Time.

The average girl of the farm has
not the right idea of what it means
to be accomplished. If we speak of
one having an accomplishment We
wish to be understood as meaning
that the one spoken of has perfect
ed some requirement. To be ac-
complished does not imply that we
must sit at all the different graccs
OF society; young girls waste much
valuable time in obtaining freely
glow of knowledge of everything.
Custom says that girls must,
must, whether they have any talent
or not, learn to play the piano;
sheet after sheet of music is furnish
ed them, dollars are paid for instruc-
tors, hours are devoted to practice,
and how many succeed in making
good players! At any pleasant
home gathering, at a concert or
church service, how many girls in
the neighborhood can play for the
occasion? The average girl takes
DIP piano playing simply for the
reason that she must know a little
something of music; she must be
able to run over the popular
melodies; but beyond this, she has
no ambition. Time is wasted in
abusing the beautiful art instead of
acquiring the art. In the same
manner We find much valuable
time wasted gaining little smatter-

them can she do we'll enough to

girls greatest faults that she does
