Fox and a Rabbit.

A fox was seen coming down a pass
in the hills followed by a rabbit, which
came along at a smart pace and seemed
impelled by an overpowering curiosi-
ty. Fox and rabbit presently dlsap-
peared into a patch OF covert, and al
most Immediately the fox was seen to
emerge with the unfortunate rabbit
dead in its jaws. The whole tableau
was witnessed by persons of unim-
peachable veracity, one OF them a very
careful observer of wild life. 1t was
perfectly evident TO them that the fox
had in some way fascinated the rab-
bit and was consciously following out
a plan devised for its destruction. AS
for the rabbit. it was clearly incapable
of avoiding its doom.-Country Life.
