Little Warhorse 
much larger field—the Park. After a number 
of Jacks had wandered out through these doors 
a rabble of boys appeared and drove them 
back, pursuing them noisily until all were again 
in the smaller field, called the Haven. <A few 
days of this taught the Jack-rabbits that when 
pursued their safety was to get back by one of 
the hatches into the Haven. 
Now the second lesson began. The whole 
band were driven out of a side door into a long 
lane which led around three sides of the Park 
to another inclosure at the far end. This was 
the Starting Pen. Its door into the arena—that 
is, the Park—was opened, the Rabbits driven 
forth, and then a mob of boys and Dogs in 
hiding, burst forth and pursued them across the 
open. The whole army went bobbing and 
bounding away, some of the younger ones 
soaring in a spy-hop, as a matter of habit; but 
low skimming ahead of them all was a gor- 
geous black-and-white one; clean-limbed and 
bright-eyed, he had attracted attention in the 
pen, but now in the field he led the band with 
easy lope that put him as far ahead of them all as 
they were ahead of the rabble of common Dogs.
