Stories Of Tame Foxes.

managed to get out of bounds lately,
and becoming bewildered by the traf-
fic in the main street of the busy lit
tie market town it ran hither and
thither, terror to home and the butt
of others, who tried their best to kill
the poor beast. The fox, however,
got the better of all its pursuers and
ran off into what is locally termed
"the upper country" beyond, so that
all trace Of it was lost until the
groom who had been attached to the
little beast had the happy inspiration
to take out the bull terrier in search
Of its playmate.
Bully led in the direction of a park
four miles away, and within it's gates
the terrier quickened his pace, and
barking loudly was soon deserted by
the fox, who ran up to his friend with
great show Of delight. He seemed
glad to get back to the safe shelter OF
his pen in the stable yard, but, where
as, the poor beast had up to the time
of his outing been confding and famil-
lar in its ways, his experiences OF
"the man in the street" have made
him timid and shy now.
Mr. Jones, who was head game
keeper to the late Lord Lilford for
nearly SO years, told me of a tame
fox that he kept chained to a tree
close to his house. 1t seemed well
contented there, but as Lord Lilford
thought it ought to have it's freedom 1t
was taken in bag to wood and
turned out there The poor beast
tried to follow the keeper home again
and it was with difficulty got rid of,
only to be taken by stranger and
killed soon after.-Pall Mall Gazette
