followin' 'ounds.
AS Big Cy settles comfortably,
jeff lowering in the background,
the pack Of six couples Of smart
hounds are cast. AS they move
to the timber, we are impressed
by two exceptional specimens Of
the modern American hound-one
a powerful but not overlaid stall
wart, Warrenton by name, that
exhibits class all over; the other,
a bitch, Topflight, also q superla-
tive field worker and displaying in
addition the refinement and ele-
gance so sought by devotees Of
the bench. These two are litter
mates, tricolored and bred in the
purple. They would stand out In
any company. Simple, direct,
eager, with lasting expectancy,
they please one immensely. And,
speaking Of hounds, where else
may one find such magnificent
vitality, such physical exuber-
ance, so gloriously translated into
expression?
Big Cy dwells, affectionately, on
the merits of these grand animals.
Breeding forward as thus illus
trated is q religion with him. His
collection Of trophies and ribbons
from Canada and the States fur
nish unassailable proof Of Cy's
skill in breeding and training.
With such hounds and such coun-
try does Jeff's beloved Boss sup
ply the cream of the sport in the
vicinity Of Washington. Worship
ers at the shrine of Diana, god
dess of the chase, know Cy well.
Just as hounds are cast, an.
other famous fox hunter arrives.

ments ago, there is . crash Of
tongue. IT'S the music Of the full
chorus!
Reverberations cause the soul
sympathetically to listen to this
music. The same reverberations
cause Big Ben to abandon his
aristocratic demeanor Of leisure.
Quickly. he circles lefthanded. He
moves in q wide arc from south
east to east. He heads up-coun-
try, with Rock Greek on his left.
Through meadow and bottom
land, around and under gaunt,
white-limbed sycamores he glides
with the rhythm Of perfect &C
ton.
From our hilltop position we
view him, with the pack coming
on, closely formed. Unrivaled
music reaches our ears. The
hounds now are united and now
are responsive to each other, as
if to express alternate complaint
and joyful glee.
Is not one sensibly astonished
by this amazing fidelity with
which these hounds, at hig h
speed, discover and follow the
trail, relying solely on their deli
cate sense Of smell?
Gains Good Lead

nard continues up-creek for four

murmured, self-deprecatiug oaths:
from the others, outlaws tinged
with the understanding Of fox
hunters-guffaws from which all
sting has been taken by the utter
humor of the situation.
Good old Tom! Good old John!
I see them now, as they laugh
the hearty, cheerful laugh OF
sportsmen. Both now are under
standing of the ways Of fox hunt
ing men.
Three Glasses
You know, fox hunting is whole
some. It is a sport vigorous and
virile. Fox hunters may be classed
as follows:
/. The straight-goer-the man
who, at risk to self and mount,
means to go and will stay in
sight Of hounds.
2. The tinid gate or road
rider.
8. The foot hunter who en-
joys (passively) the music Of
the pack; the student Of hound
work; the hunter as distinct
from the rider.
Big Cy Cummings, a quondam
member Of the first class, has de.
serted the saddle and no longer
rides to hounds: he now com.
fortably sits 'em out, jeff sup.

which Jeff gleefully refers as
"the Boss's grandstand." This
unique custom only is paralleled

favorite, Polly, field prize win

Maryland last November.
The hounds sweep the woods to
discover tantalizing evidence Of
Reynard's wanderings. Suddenly,
a whimper from the depths Of the
timber. It's Warrenton. For a
few moments he continues, alone.
However, since he enjoys the repu-
tation for high creditability
among his mates, they join him.
The fox is not over mile away,
curled up in a dry spot among
pine needles and enjoying q nap
in the scented, sheltering forest.
He has been abed about two hours
and, although sound asleep, one
ear instinctively is cooked for the
first sound Of danger.
The hound chorus reaches Sir
Reynard's cooked and attuned ear.
He awakeS. He yawns. He rises.
He is keen, refreshed. He walks

around. He knows hounds are at
safe distance. This red fox hap
pens to be Big Ben, a character
condemned and praised accord
ing to ones point Of view for
miles around. Has he not been
master Of his wild world these 10
years?
Cunning Reynard
In size, speed and in cunning,
is he not the peer Of his fellows?
Has he not in the ages-old feud
between fox and hound always
given an excellent account Of him.

He allows that conditions for
this contest are fair. Being a
sportsman, he has subscribed to
them, and has accepted the is
sue.
Light-footedly he swings to his
right, to the east. He crosses
Turkey Run and heads for the
big pines. For two hours, he
runs. Finally, southwark he
points, and we catch a glimpse
Of him and hear hounds Justify
marking their way in pursuit
across a stubble field.
Stout Of Heart
Pursued and pursuerS enter
timber. Shortly, we neither see
nor hear. Surely, this is a sweet
running fox, stout of heart, swift
of limb, cunning Of brain. He
has applied the acid test to his
enemy. They have stood UP un-
der the test. They constitute a
good enemy, as Reynard quite
readily agrees
Where he finally went, we do
not know. What became Of him
is just another mystery Of fox
hunting. However, we make fair
appraisal, make fair apportion-
ment Of praise between fox and
pack, and agree upon a draw.
For time we wait. Then, off to
Oak Grove.
