A RABBIT CHASE 



carefully. After the race was over Sheppy was so 

 much ashamed of his failure that he went back to 

 the house without coming near me. When I got 

 home he thrust his muzzle into my hand and wagged 

 his tail and tried to make me understand that rab- 

 bits are not in his line. A slow-footed woodchuck 

 suits him better. But I am going to train him to 

 chase rabbits, even if he cannot catch them, for if 

 he keeps them moving they may decide that they are 

 not popular here and move away to some one else's 

 orchard.
