, ner of the Lion of St AIarl--the one in 10y
atty to their King, Henry Tudor; the other
in affection for Venice, their beloved Queen OF
the Adriatic. From this time the continent
OF North America belonged to Englishmen,
| by right of discovery.
| In a little more than three months after
the expedition sailed from Bristol, the Cabots,
in their good ship Matteo. anchored again IN
the same harbor.
Distinguished honors were paid the elder
! navigator He was made admiral, and the
King gave him a purse of gold. Every where
over England went the news of his discovery,
and when he prepared for a second voyage,
seafaring men from every quarter pressed to
enter his service.
But John Cabot never made another sea
voyage. 1t appears that he died suddenly,
but where or when we have no account; nor
does any one know where he was buried
Nothing dampened the ardor of young Be
bastian, however, and in May, 1893, he sailed
with two ships and as large a company as he
desired, determined to find the northwest pas
sage to Cathay and Japan; for as yet all the
lands that Columbus or the Cabots had DIS
covered were regarded only outlying ISL
ands of the Asiatic coast.
That year of 1893 was memorable in the
annals of commerce and discovery. 1t YVES
the same year that Columbus, on his third
voyage, sighted the continent of South Amer
lea.
That year and the same month, Vasco da
Cana, another young ocean crusader, was
doubling the Cape of Good Hope, clearing the
Straits of Mozambique, and, by going east
ward, reached the very land which the other
navigators were searching for in the west.
New ocean paths were opened for the COM
merce of the world.
OF course, young Cabot missed the .discov-
cry of the northwest passage. But he dis
covered Newfoundland, and explored the
coast as far north as latitude 671a degrees,
probably passing into Hudson's Bay. He per
severed in his efforts to find an open channel
to India until his sailors, appalled, by the
danger of navigating the ships among ice
bergs, compelled him to turn back.
| He then examined the coast as far south as
Chesapeake Bay, when he returned to Eng
land, taking several of the natives with him.
] His great achievement was the discovery Of
| eighteen hundred miles of sea coast OF the
North American Continent.
| There is vague report of another voyage
| taken by Sebastian Cabot in 1899, but moth
| ing definite is known He continued to live
| in England till the death of Henry VII when
he was invited to Spain by King Ferdinand
and in 1912 we find him at Seville, engaged
in revising the maps and charts belonging to
| that sovereign.
He was still dreaming of finding the north
west passage to Cathay; but the death of Fer
dinand put an end to his hopes in renewing
his search. He now returned to England,
and in 1917 he undertook, with Sir Thomas

or conauesI in Spanish America, is uncertain.

which empowered them to seek out, subdue

A Willy Depredator

Before many minutes the faint baying OF
the hound reached our ears, and soon we saw
him cross the stone heap where he had first
seen the fox and bear down toward US.
He struck into the circle a little above
where we stood and came tearing along,
uttering yelp at almost every leap, so intent
was he on the chase.
"Now grab him!" yelled Ben.
And, as the hound passed, we both grasped
his collar and held him back.
He didn't offer to bite us, but he howed
and struggled fercely while we. pulled him
over the wall In a moment, however, he
had struck the warmer scent, and with long
cry went tearing through the bushes with
Ben and | close behind him.
He ran a zgzag course up the valley for
half mile, and then his quick, eager baying
told us that he had either caught or cornered
the fox.
We hurried on, and arrived fairly breath
nard to earth. The den was under boulder
at the base of the mountain, and the fox had
evidently gone directly, to it after running
the circle to throw the hound off the scent.
self for once. He had probably played the
same trick on Beagle before and got off safe
ly, and he thought he could do it again.
I left Ben to guard the hole with his gun,
while Beagle danced ,frantically about him,
and ran across the valley to the house for
On my return, found that father and the
bows had arrived, having been called in from
their different stations on the mountain by
Beagle's cries.
II took us half an hour to dig the fox out
in fact, don't think we could have got him
at all if Beagle hadn't rushed in and seized
him by the throat
AS Ben had said. he was big fellow and
was not of the common red species. Father
declared it to be a black fox, only his coat
was in bad condition and he was evidently

ran across the open place on which l had
first seen him, leaped a little stream when
wound through the valley at this point ana
then turning to the left, disappeared IN the
heavy timber along the loot OF the moun
'sThat's no common fox" declared Ben,
as We started for the point where we we had
seen the fox disappear from view, hes
big fellow, and more of gray color than
red. III bet my boots it's a black fox!
We hurried onwards, and had made about
half the distance when Ben suddenly ex-
claimed:
''There he is againl Would you believe
it"
Sure enough the fox had again come in
sight, and as near as | could see, in exactly
the same spot he had before appeared;
''Is it the same one, or another! L asked.
''The same fellow to IT, declared Ben.
"Just watch"
The fox trotted across the open space,
leaped the brook in exactly the place he had
crossed before and to all appearances follow
ed on his previous trail.
Right at the edge of the woods a stone
wall commenced and ran across the valley.
When the fox reached the end of this wall,
instead of keeping as he had before, he
leaped upon the wall and disappeared on the
other side
"Don't YOU see, you looney?" cried Ben,
hurrying on. 81 tell you that fox is sly
one. He's run in a circle, So that when Bea,
gle strikes it he'll keep going right around
and around forever unless somebody puts, him
on the right track. Wen have to go down
there and catch Beagle when he comes by"
We reached the end of the stone wall and
discovered the marks of the fox where he
had leaped on to the soft earth on the oppo-
site side
'sNow we might just as well make our
selves comfortable" said Ben, laying down
his gun. when Beagle comes around we
must be ready to grab him and put him on to
the right track"
