OF st. Hubert dogs that they have taken
up trail forty-etght hours old, after 1t
had been washed by heavy rain. They
distinguish instantly the different doors
of two stays of the same age, and, thanks
to their tenacity and stamina. they are
able to chase the same stag three days in
succession, and in spite of their slowness
wear him out inevitably.
But. you say, St Hubert dogs? Have
they not a familiar look? We all know
these dogs, though not by their name of
st. Hubert Their very name of blood
hound is as ancient, the Old writer CaluS
saying: They smell the blood of the pur-
sued creature; therefore they are called
'Canus sanguinarius.

common people. Pedigreed animals went
to live with peasants, but not without
damage to their heredity. Some pure
races were preserved only through a
small pack or pair of dogs such as the
race of Saintonge. IL it exists still, it is
thanks to a physician of Saintes, one
DIR. Clemot. to whom the Marquis de la
Porte-aux-Loups in 1889 intrusted two
males and female. On the return of
the marquis from the emigration Dr.
Clemot gave him back the increased
family, and these are the ancestors of
all the pure Saintonge hounds of today.
Thus. when the restoration came
about, it happened that certain great
families could assemble packs of pure
more or less old races. But the
remnants Were not numerous enough to
constitute packs for all the gentlemen
OF France who desired to take UP what

hesitate to "send out the fourth relay
a leaden bullet.
X X
A modification set in, however, about
1910. when in Poitou they began taking
note of the effect of the new English
strain where the French stock had been
good. The new dogs showed themselves
so much more beautiful, vigorous and
light of foot; their great speed and en-
durance tired the stag SO readily that
the fourth relay came to be thought
unworthy of them. So their owners set
up for themselves in all it's purity, the
old royal chasse a courre, a cor ct cri.
One only drawback annoyed them-they
were frequently fooled by the change"
1t annoys them today. ''The change"
astonishing unique maneuver of the
French stag, was the greatest strong
point of the ancient pack of dogs.
After a long run, when he feels him
self firing, the stag seeks to put some
comrade in his place. In his first efforts
he leads his pursuers to the herds day
time resting place in the forest. If the
hounds are far enough behind him he
will TRANQUILITY lie down beside his breth-
rem, otherwise the pack breaks into the
herd behind him. In either case the dogs
disperse it in all directions Now, pack
of English foxhounds would break with
the breaking herd, or follow this or that
stag, their instinct being to follow fox"
and not a particular fox. The already
fatigued stag would escape, and the
hunters would be led after new victim
in full force OF his wind.
A we'll disciplined pack of French deer
hounds acts differently. No matter how
the younger dogs may be excited by the
sudden contact with the herd, they soon
collect and follow the wise lead Of the
cooler members. The baffled stag, after
trying his minor ruses, must at last COM
bine his great unique maneuver of "the
change" by personally conducting a
chosen substitute.
He will not try again to lose himself In
the herd. Instead. he depends on this
involuntary accomplice, whom he finds
by his delicate sense Of smell. It must be
a stag of his own age, antlers and body.
Finding the brother, he lies down beside
him. Soon the pack is heard Both stays
leap up. The hunted one holds back Just
long enough to let his unsuspecting COM
panion choose direction. He follows him
infinitely. When his involuntary pace

The new deer begins his long run. When
