ROMAN CAMP TO ATHELSTANEFORD. 143 



Weatlierham Steps, as he had done his dam Bracelet 

 before him. Travellerj too, hunted his first day, and 

 he is by Tonic, a name of Will GoodalPs, who had 

 to use all his skill to get him over the distemper. 

 Bounty had nearly been put away for this cause, but 

 Atkinson persevered, and kept her entirely on eggs. 

 She rewarded him one day by stopping short at a 

 wall, and hitting it down the dyke, in a fast thing 

 over the muirs from Ealingshaw, when the body of 

 the hounds flashed over it. Rally wood has also his 

 good mark for picking it up in a dry furrow when 

 the fox had lain down near Gladsmuir. The Burton old 

 draft of 13J couple were still dark, and what was 

 contained in the sweet heads of Fashion, Phillis, and 

 Proserpine was still a weighty and anxious problem, 

 both for masters and men.
