SPRAGUE Sc DUCKETT, 342 Madison Ave., New York City 
REYNARD OF THE 
RIVER SWAMP 
(Continued from page 427) 
thus engaged, he heard the dogs draw¬ 
ing nearer, and made a frantic effort 
to regain the road which he knew to 
be only a few yards away, but owing 
to turning several times in pursuit of 
the weasel, he traveled slightly parallel 
with the road instead of directly to it. 
The result was that, try as he would, 
he could not make the road in time, 
and arrived a moment late, to see 
Pepper (who was slightly in the rear) 
cross the road. I did not know whether 
to laugh at Fred or sympathize with 
him. He had such a disgusted and 
crestfallen look, with the rain drops 
trickling down his face. “I ought to 
be kicked full of holes for leaving the 
road,” he said, and he looked as though 
he meant it. However, I had taken 
this trip for the especial purpose of 
giving Fred an outing, and I did not 
intend to lose my temper even if we 
did lose the fox. 
It needed now only a few minutes to 
noon. We decided we would eat our 
lunch which, fortunately, had not be¬ 
come wet, through our game bags. 
Reynard had lost no time once across 
the road and we could only hear the 
dogs at times. Although we remained 
on the road until fifteen minutes to 
two, he showed no inclination again to 
cross the road. In fact, he had not, 
until the last half-hour, approached it 
closer than a half mile. By this time 
the wind was getting strong and the 
clouds were so heavy that it looked as 
if daylight would not last much be¬ 
yond four o’clock. Therefore I pro¬ 
posed that one of us follow reynard, 
and endeavor by the same means to 
induce him again to cross the roadway. 
I asked Fred which he would prefer 
to do, and he replied that he would 
sta-y on the road and that a team of 
horses would be required to drag him 
off it before dark. 
So once more I started into the 
swamp, but before going, I told Fred 
that if I wished him to follow me at 
any time I would, if out of sound of 
our whistle, fire one shot and then two 
in quick succession, for I figured that 
reynard must be getting rather tired 
of the game by now and might make 
up his mind to leave the swamp and 
hole up. I proceeded as best I could 
through the swamp. I could hear the 
dogs, but quite far away. 
When I had been tramping through 
the swamp, climbing over fallen trees 
and working around bog holes in an 
endeavor to come up with thq dogs for 
the space of perhaps half an hour, I 
suddenly realized that they were head¬ 
ing straight toward me; almost at the 
same time I stumbled through some 
cedar boughs to find myself on a nar-
