Deer play in front of dogs; they dodge; they skulk; they exerciso an almost incredible precience to do what is least expected. If ever hard pressed, they take to water, and wherever the deer is found, it is commonly found in such numbers that fresh trails are constantly crossing one another, As a result, dogs pursuing one deer will usually rouse others, so that the whole affair, instead of being the stern purâ€" suit of one unhappy fugitive, is far more likely to be a sort of relay race, or merryâ€"goâ€"round. i During my lifetime I have been priâ€" vileged to see certainly more than & thousand wild deer pursued by hounds, and I have yet to see a deer in distress because of this pursu‘t, So superb is the deer‘s natural vitality, so keen are its senses, so familiar is it with the forests where it ranges, and so adeâ€" quate is its speed that it can take exâ€" cellent care of itself. Nor are wo to forget that such a fugitive may take whatever course it chooses, whereas its pursuers have to unravel its mazy trail. A pet buck of mine that I had raised with a bottle was on terms of friendly intimacy with my hounds; and in the autumn, when he had his new antlers and when his physical wellâ€"being was at its height, he used actually to proâ€" voke the dogs to give him a race. It was a strange yet accountable sight to see the proud stag, mincing arrogantly, lowering his head and bulging his neck, appFoach the hounds drowsing in the sun by the old barn. He would paw mischievously at them, snort in their faces, feign to menace them with his gleaming horns. After this mock threatening had gone on as far as the hounds could stand it, they would "take notice," rousing themselves, at which the buck would bound away in artificial panic. Stimulated by what appeared to be the deer‘s real fright, the dogs would take up the chase, sending the lithely joyous fugitive flyâ€" ing down the avenue, over fences, through thin strips of woods, back along the river, and thence to the avenue again, and so up to the house. As the buck would near home, he would miraculously transform himself from a wild deer into our tame one, would break off the race, and would not even deign to look back at the hounds which, with tails waving and â€" long ears flying, were clamoring on his â€" trail, As soon as the dogs had come to where the deer had stoped, they â€" stopped too.

Both he and ibll brother, the Duke of Gloucester, were hunting on Jan. 2nd with the Belvoir hounds, this being the Prince‘s first day this season, The Prince of Wales abstained from fox hunting the entire season before last, but was out a fow times last winter before leaving Considering predatory creatures and their prey, we have to admit that a staiking or a chase often ends in death. But in practically all such cases, the victim suffers merely the initial shock, which is, so far as we can fairly judge, attended by little pain. Death in the wilds seoms to me merely the operaâ€" tion of one of nature‘s indispensable, and, upon the . whole, beneficent laws. 1 In due time came the hounds, puzâ€" zling out the trail, At the water they became completely bewildered, and for some moments they cast about vainly for the lost scent. One dog went alâ€" most under the fox, which never moved. At last the oldest hound gave notice that the fugitive had run the log. Instantly the fox leaped lithely down the farther side of the embankâ€" ment on which he had been craftily reposing, and I saw him bobbing away serenely through the woods. He must have been a good halfâ€"mile away beâ€" fore his pursuers straightened on his tracks; and by that time he was probâ€" ably making a new puzzle for them. For in such cases the fugitive is genâ€" erally the real master of the situation ; and insofar as I have observed him, his attitude betrays loss fear than a certain amused curiosity, and a cerâ€" tain assurance in his own superiority, which subtly reflects contempt upon the following pack. "Now, father, let‘s get this thing right. I didn‘t let him kiss me, I merely let him try." "What‘s this, daughter. You let Mr. Brown, whom you barely know, kiss you." its widest part, leaped across it straight into the shadowy shelter of the old pineâ€"top, from where he ran down the log, climbed the strange mound of earth, and there lay down, some ten feet off the ground. . _ Hardly had I settled myselft before _ the fox came within sight, stealing along in his inimitable wary fashion. He was trotting rather idly, his flufty brush straight out behind him; at inâ€" tervals he would pause to look ahead, to listen, and to look back. There is no more characteristic pose assumed by a fox on the move than the one he commonly takes when he comes to a log in his path. Putting his forefeet on it in order to secure strategic eleâ€" vation, he will survey the whole stage of the forest, I saw my fox take this stance; and for about two minutes he did not move. Wild creatures pursued by hounds have come to learn that the real danger is often ahead rather than behind. After satisfying himself that the coast was clear, the fox, instead of crossing the log and following the path, turned down the prostrate tree, ran its length, and then, through dense bayâ€"bushes, returned to the path. But a better manoeuver was to come, A storm had uprooted a huge yellow pine; the dead top lay fringing the path; the roots had torn up with them a great halfâ€"moon of earth. Where th pine top touched the path, there was & wide slash of water. The fox avoided the water, yet did not pass it, but, at voIme io me, ‘There were foxâ€"hunters !on the place adjoining mine, and eviâ€" dently they had their quarry started.

Action is of value in proportion te the time that its results last, The art of the olden days was true action; the art of today is more magnificent, but also more useless, It may touch the emotions, perhaps even the morais, but it is not true action since it has ne lasting qualities, | Action then is an ideaâ€"something to be carried out, All this machinery labout us does not signify action, but it does increase our capacity for acâ€" tion by increasing our power to work out our ideas, Work is not decision, it is routine, Man is deprived of his initiative, a slave to his machine, What could resemble a moron mors closely than a man at a machine* Acâ€" tion lies deep in the brain of man,. It does not change it in the least that it may exhibit itself in various forms of motion later, It is still action so long as it is employed in the working out of an idea. There remains civil action to be considered. HMere again we must dis tinguish between the various types of what we falsely call action. All physiâ€" cal motion is not necessarily action. The ploughman in the field is not acâ€" tive so far as his body is concerned, nor is the mason who morely piles up bricks, But if the ploughman has be fore his mind the notion of a crop it the mason is working out a great deâ€" sign, then, indeed are both these mon in action. | Consider an army at war, We say they are in action.

Still less is an army active in time of pease, Ther it is a useless and expensive plece of machinery, deploying through various forms that have no meaning, waiting uselessly for something that may or may not occur, We hear a great deal toâ€"«lay about action.
