Odd Occurrence In the Hunting Field
On the afternoon of Feb. s, 1894, the
hounds of his grace the Duke OF Beau
fort were IN full cry. The run had been
a long one and they knew that the fox
was almost spent. Suddenly the scent
turned abruptly from the open, leading
straight into the garden Of a cottage in
the little village Of Castle Coombe.
These who were following wondered
what had happened and were more as
tonisised still to see the entire pack,
without checking for an instant, dash
through the open door into the little
room. A shrill scream was heard, and
when the whipper in threw himself
from his horse and gained the thresh-
