pals for ladies or gentlemen and loyal playmates for 
children. They are the ideal dogs for farm and

FOX HOUNDS AND A 
NOTABLE HUNT 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 435 ) 
Sure enough in between the studding, 
half way up the side and behind an. old 
headboard of the cord bedstead was the 
fox, clinging fast to the clapboards. 
The boss wasted no time but aimed a 
mighty swipe with the long handled 
shovel with which he had been conduct- 
ing his investigations and then Wash 
rushed for the fox. One lantern went 
out and the other tipped over. A hen- 
coop fell off the rafters. The boss was 
very liberal with his shovel swings and 
down came rakes, hoes and chairs and 
a part of the wood pile. 
The fox and Wash were not at all 
delicate and ran over all of us any time 
they found it handy, keeping the ava- 
lanche of furniture moving in the dark- 
ness which was as of the Pit. The noise 
we didn’t notice at the time but all the 
neighbors heard it. 
Finally everything loose having fallen 
down, Wash got the fox cornered in the 
coal bin. The boss righted the fallen 
lantern and with his trusty shovel wal- 
loped Wash and the fox impartially until 
the fox, being weaker, succumbed. 
Then we took an inventory. We had 
the fox and Wash seemed in fair shape, 
but the veteran Sport refused to share 
in our crime. 
I had lost one of my woolen mittens 
but we recovered that from the dead 
fox’s clenched jaws though how he got 
it will always be a mystery. 
W E hung up what we could and re- 
stored order, also tendered the 
house owner, who had meantime 
returned, some money to repair damage 
and departed for home. 
Undoubtedly the veteran would have 
shown us better work if we had given 
him a few more trials and had helped 
him to find himself, but we shipped him 
home to his indignant owner after 
another race, principally because of his 
age and battered eyeball. 
Stutz’s promising career was cut short 
by a train less than a year later. 
Wash’s career was no doubt influenced 
by the happenings of that day and when 
he had overhauled another fox or two 
he became convinced that if he didn’t 
putter and fool round too much he might 
catch a fox. 
Doubtless he had some such notion in 
his head when he won, a year and a half 
later, the A. K. C. field championship for 
fox hounds at the Barre trials and in- 
cidentally the All-age stake, the Speed 
and Driving cup, the Endurance cup, the 
Hitchcock Championship cup for highest 
general average and the Pope Memorial 
cup for combined speed and trailing. 
Several of his promising youngsters 
are now crowding their old man on his 
races and a fox has a busy time ahead 
of him when the family get their noses 
headed his way.
