hut gaining at every bound, sped a
gallant, beautiful hound, w hite-coated
taper-m uzzled, bearing Its tall like a
g reat |iluine, overhauling th e coyote
with trem endous leaps, going at a te r
rifle rate, yet so sm oothly th a t Its
speed seemed effortless—a Russian
wolfhound.
Beyond the willow fringe came her
mate, hound for Hound, level with the
bitch, unseen, though perhaps not un­
known to the coyote.
Then, fronj a shicker growth of
trees, outm atched but traveling fast,
a pinto flashed into C aleb’s view, a
hoy crouched low on th e w ithers,
welded to the horse, urging It on.
Caleb thrilled to the chase as It

“Gad, he can ride,” he m uttered.
A cap blew off, a long tress of chest­
nut hair, ruddy as a flame, whipped
out, was reached for and tucked in
by Its owner, only to stream erra n t
again. The boy was a g ir l!
T he bitch w as alm ost up with the
coyote, th e dog, w atchful through the
gaps In th e willows, came circling In,
Jaws agape, ready for the kill. The
coyote made a last desperate effort.
The bitch, with one enorm ous leap,
came abreast. She lunged, her w hite
neck like a snake’s for speed and sin­
uousness, her teeth clam ping down on
th e forefoot of the coyote. Caleb saw
the la tte r checked, tum bling, h eard a
broken snarl of defiance, and then the
second hound sprung In a w hite gleam
of fury, too sw iftly for him to catch
the action. Its pow erful Jaws, bred
for the w-ork, crunched through the
vertebrae of th e coyote's neck. The
hunt was ended.

culture, U niversity of Illinois. If any
out of th e thousand do survive the
diseases they are allowed to become a
