Lost Dog 
(Continued from page 207) 
couple of hours, before his music stop- 
ped and he came in, and Bill said 
“quitter”; but we took Lost Dog’s back 
track and found his fox couldn’t stand 
the pace, so took to the ground in a 
den where foxes are reared most every 
spring, probably the same den in which 
this tired-out fox had spent his fox- 
cub days. And while we stood looking 
at that fox den Lost Dog broke loose 
again away over the north, and after 
an hour of cold trailing jumped an- 
other fox out of Sidney’s Gulf, and 
then we let Prince and Ted loose, and 
the three of them ran that fox until 
late afternoon, when he came too close 
to Bill and his old Ithaca ten-bore. 
The day closed with Bill pulling into 
John Wilson’s place with a gun and a 
fox on his back, Prince and Ted at 
Bill’s heels, where they belonged, but 
Lost Dog wasn’t there, not he, he was 
back on the hills trying to start an- 
other one, apparently as fresh as 
when he started out in the morning, 
and we got him by going back and 
putting a chain on him. 
A wonderful dog, you will say, and 
you will be right, but you are wrong 
when you think we took him home to 
Bob Angell right then; we did take 
him to Bob, but it wasn’t until the fox- 
hunting season was over and then we 
told Bob if he didn’t bring Lost Dog 
down to us the following fall, when 
the frost was on the pumpkin vine, 
we would boycott his Spencer Lake 
Hotel, and good fellow that Bob is, he 
brought Lost Dog in along in Novem- 
ber, and Lost Dog lays sleeping at my 
feet before a roaring fireplace as I 
finish this about the time the clock 
strikes twelve and there is another soft, 
damp tracking snow falling outside, 
and the morning will bring another fox 
hunt so full of thrills to Lost Dog and 
fox hunters of Ithaca. 
“The Baltimore Oriole,’ together 
with a biographical sketch of Audubon 
by Raphael Semmes Payne, has just 
been published by the Norman Reming- 
ton Co. 
The author’s purpose in this 
little monograph is to point out the 
versatility of the oriole—its charm, in- 
genuity and value to the home with an 
environment of garden and orchard; 
also to spread the interest, now becom- 
ing so universal, in all bird life. 
The biographical sketch was com- 
piled from Audubon’s Biography and 
Memoirs and while very short and su- 
perficial, is charmingly and _ interest- 
ingly written. 
The book contains 55 pages and is il- 
lustrated with one colored and two 
black and white plates. The price is 
$1.00. 
It will identify you. 
Nessmuk’s Campfire 
(Continued from page 215) 
dull knife so as not to cut the surface 
enamel of the bamboo—which gives it 
its strength—in fact, you rub them off. 
Be very careful of your ‘‘edges” so as 
not to weaken the “glueing up.” Wipe 
carefully with a soft dry piece of mus- 
lin—an old kerchief or silk—to remove 
all old varnish specks and oil marks 
from the hands adhering to the rod. 
If stubborn, add a touch of clean tur- 
pentine to the cloth. 
In the case of a new rod, of course, 
the above is unnecessary, except the 
“rubbing down” with the cloth. After 
you have finished your windings, wrap- 
pings and the mounting of your guides 
and tips, rub down with the back of a 
comb or the handle of an old tooth 
brush; bone is best. To preserve the 
color, use the following, which I have 
found to be highly satisfactory: equal 
parts of collodin and banana oil, ap- 
plied to the silk windings only, followed 
by a solution of white shellac thinned 
25 per cent. applied to the entire rod— 
wrappings and wood. After which ap- 
ply at least 2 coats of good rod varnish, 
thinned to about the same and brushed 
on with long, even strokes while warm, 
followed by several coats of the varnish 
at its full strength stroked on while 
warm. Allow plenty of time to elapse 
between coats. Length of time depend- 
ing upon “weather conditions,” but 
choose a warm dry day to do your var- 
nishing. Hang your rod joints in a 
cool shady place where they can have 
as even a temperature as possible and 
be free from dust. A breeze will dry 
your varnish much faster than “dead 
air.” Keep the joints away from walls 
or your varnish is likely to “crawl,” 
hanging them upright rather than lean- 
ing against some object. A rod should 
be gone over before the opening of each 
season: tighten ferrules, loosened by 
alternations of temperature and re- 
placing all broken or worn wrappings. 
Before putting a rod away as com- 
pleted, with the aid of a medicine 
dropper apply two or three drops of 
melted parafine to the throat of the 
female ferrule, thereby sealing the 
joints of the rod against moisture. In 
placing in a wood form, never tie the 
joints of a rod down tight, as this will 
put a permanent “set” in a joint, espe- 
cially when the guides do not drop 
down true into the slots of the form.
