" old Scar-Knco repeated , holding himself ready to disappear In the bushes nt a word , at a motion of the hand. Hut the children had had some ex- perlenco with wild creatures , and they sat as still as statues. "The time was , " said the Son of Ben All , "when you came at my cell and nskcd no questions. You have forgotten , but I re- Jnomber. " "No , Son of Ben All , " old Scar-Face re- pllfd , "I have not forgotten ; but when you came , you came alone ; you brought no etrangcrn with you. " "I said you had forgotten , " remarked Aaron. "What of Ilamblcr , the track dog ? " "True Oh , most true , Bon of Ben All ! " exclaimed old Scar-Face , lowering his head In apparent humility , a fact that caused Drusllla to remark , In a whisper , "Ho do like ho htimnnl" And the countenance of old Scar-Face , cruel and crafty , certainly had a human aspect. The children tried In vain to re member who do resembled. Ono and all were sure In V.elr own minds they had seen some one who looked like him. He was the personification c9 craft and fear the sharp nose , the whlto teeth gleaming , the glitter- THE .YOUNGSTERS PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER. Ing , shifty eyes , the pointed ears , turning about to catch every sound , and so keen of hearing'that the fall of a plno needle at tracted their attention. This was old Scnr- Pace , the Invincible , celebrated throughout middle Georgia as the fox which had out- footed nnd out-maneuvered every kennel of bounds brought against him. The ordinary hounds which had been used for chasing gray foxes , wore simply the playthings of old Scar-Face. Ho was in the habit of using them for the purpose of practicing new movements. He had ono scheme , which , when ho was not feeling well , he wan in the hnblt of working on his pursuers. It may be called the triple links , as for In- etanco : Imagine the links to cover a half-mile each , and the difficulty which a doc would hnve In untangling them with his nose , and that , too , whllo ho Is trying to go at full speed , will bo easily perceived , when the ordinary hounds failed to catch old Scar- Face hunters from n distance came with their Blrdsong hounds. These were Irish dogs , 'but were called Blrdsong because they 'wcro ' bred In Georgia by a planter of that name. These taught old Scar-Face the necessity of getting on foot whenever ho heard n hound hark between midnight and day , 1 > ut when the Blrdsong hounds found his drag warm the triple links wcro sufficient to throw them out. Here , then , wns this famous old fox , grin ning at Anroia nnd the children , almost within reach of their hands. Sweetest Susan nnd Druellla were plainly afraid of him , for the whlto scar on his forehead did not add to his .beauty , but Buster John re garded him with great curiosity and In terest. "I had forgotten Rambler , Son o ! Ben All , " snld old Scar-Face , musingly. "But I wns not the first to forget ; more than once I heard Rambler howling for ray blood. " "Yes ; he made no bargain with me , " Aaron remarked. "But hero nro those who heard of you , and who begged to see you. They have some news for you. " "It Is long since I had any , " eald old Scnr-Fnco. Whereupon Aaron told of the fox hunt thnt was to take place and of a hound named Hodo , who was almost so famous among fox hunters ns old Scar-Face him self. During this recital the fox came out of the tunnel , but snt upon his haunches close to the mouth of it and held himself In readiness to take refuge therein on the slightest alarm. "When Is this hunt to be ? " asked old Scar-Face. "In the days when there Is no working In the fields and woods. When you fall to henr the ax and the rattle of the wagon , then you may know the time for the , bunt Is neat at hand , " said Aaron , There was a pause , and during this pause a h.ire , a small palpitating creature , came creeping from the sedge and sat looking at Aaron and the children. Some movement or other frightened her , nnd she boundol away. Old Sear-Face disappeared In the tunnel llko a shadow , and presently those who were likening heard the poor little hare give one scream of agony and fright , and then all was still. " ' " naked Sweetest "U'hnl hurt the rabbit ? Susan. "I think It's n shame , " she cried , when Aaron motioned with his hand to Indi cate the fox. As she ppoke , old Scar-Face appeared at the door of the tunnel. At his feet lay the rabbit. Sweetest Susan looked appcallngly nt Aaron ; but appealing looks couldn't bring the hare back to life. 'I feel better , " remarked old Scar-Face , licking his chops. "I haven't had a good dinner In two suns. They are hard to catch. " "You are getting old , " suggested Aaron. "Yc , old ; but I gave this little creature a fair chance. " "It was n quick catch , " Aaron declared. "Neat , If not quick , " said old Scar-Face with an air of pride. "I'm old , but not too old for this not too old to lead Into the middle winds this great dog you tell of. " "What are the 'middle winds ? ' " Buster John asked In n whisper. " \Vh ro there IB no scent , " Aaron ex plained. "Thero Is ocent enough , " remarked old Scar-Face , "but It Is lifted from ground nnd grasa by the winds. Yce , 1 will lend this wonderful dog Into the mlddlo winds , and leave him there ; or I will carry him to the barren places where the ground Is red nnd dry , or where the sand has drifted. It Is now three years since I have done more than trot before the dogs they bring. What I need , Son of Ben All , Is something to stir the blood and make me thirsty. " "This dog they will bring will give you what you want , " said Aaron. "He Is called Hodo. " "What lo that , Son of Ben All ? " " Is his " "It name. "Well , my nnmo Is Woodranger. What do your kind call me , Son of Ben AH ? " "Scar-Face , " replied Aaron bluntly. "It Is as good as any , " said the fox. "Yes , ono name Is as good as another when you have three meals a day , " Aaron as sented. "There was a time , " suggested old Scar- Face , ' "when the Son of Ben All killed and brought mo birds ; but that time Is past. " "You are no longer weak and young. But I came today to do you a belter turn than that. I came to warn you of this dog from a strange settlement , whoso nose is so keen that ho never puts It to the ground , and whose legs are so strong that he but touches the top of a ten-rail fence as ho goes over. Take my word for It ; let not another sun rise on you hero tilt the grass Is green again. Go to the river ; hide In the big swamp ; stay anywhere but here. Let the dog with the queer name run down nnd kill ono of your brethren. Do you move away for a time , and go whore the hunters may not follow. " Old Scar-Faco tried to reach with his hind Toot a flea that was tickling htm on the top of his back near his shoulder , nnd In making the effort bo stretched out his neck , closed his eye and grinned so comically that the children laughed. "Como and I'll scratch you , " said Aaron. Old Sear-Face took a step forward , but hesitated. "No , Son of Ben All , " he said. "It makes mo cold to bo too near the new ones. " Whereupon Aaron himself took a step forward nnd scratched old Scar-Faco on the back with a plno cone , and this operation seemed to bo so pleasing that the fox kept tlmo to the scratching by patting the ground with ono of his hind feet , us though bo were trying In this way to aid Aaron. When old Scar-Faco had been thoroughly scratched along the spine , where tils hind foot could not reach , ho shook himself , licked his chops , nnd seemed to feel very much better. "And eo you think I should move away from my home , Son of Ben All , " old Scar- Face remarked. "Well , if you had come saying , 'My friend , you nro in danger ; fly and remain away many suns , ' tomorrow's dawn would liavo found me miles away. But when you say , 'Beware of the dogs ; there Is ono called Hodo coming to run you down , ' that Is different. I want to hear this strange dog yelping behind me , not too close , but far enough away to make him weary. I want to hear the noise of his yelp , or know that ho Is running wildly dither and yonder , sick to know where the Woodranger has gone. " "As you please , old friend , " said Aaron. "This Hodo has made great talk among the hunters. I have warned you ; It is all I can do. " "There have been swift dogs after me , Son of Ben All , but they hnve always been behind mo. Not one of them has ever un tangled the loops of my tangle ; not one liavo I ever carried Into the middle winds. This strange dog I should llko to carry there If ho has strength enough ; once there I'll bid him goodbye. " "You'll bo surprised If ho tells you howdy , " suggested Aaron. "So would you , Son of Ben AH. " "No , you're wrong ; It would be no sur prise to mo , " Aaron replied. "You have won many n race ; you have broken down many a pack of hounds ; but you arc not ns young as you were. And Bomctlilng tells me that If you were In your prime this hound would outfoot you. I know what I know. " "And I know what I can do. Son of Ben All , nnd I'll show you when the tlmo comes. I'll give this hound n warm scent , and I'll cut out for him n journey he'll long re member. " "This thing of remembering , " said Aaron , "depends on whether you are well enough to remember. I hope you'll bo well enough for that when the race Is over. " "Don't worry about me , Son of Ben All. Many things I know wcro taught me by you ; many I learned myself. I have been putting them all together until now I want to ECO what the strange hound will make of them. " "Well , so long , " said Aaron. "You are warned ; tliat Is enough. Go to your rabbit before ho la cold , nnd I'll go to my work. " Old Scar-Face disappeared In the tunnel "HAVE ANOTHER" ? lion the cork.

"When ho was n puppy I doctored him , nnd Cio used to trot after me In the woods. Now my mind's easy. If he Is caught , well ; It ho ain't , good. He's outrun hounds no long that he's got It in his head that none cau catch him. That's his business. " " 1 didn't like his looks , " said Sweetest Susan nftcr nulille "Ncr mo needer , " Drusllla exclaimed. "He ook too much like folks when he hclt his head on one side an * grin.

Dat crcetur she Is got do 01' Hey n 'Im. I hope doy'll ketch ' 1m. " fluster John said nothing. Ho was wonderIng - Ing how ho could manngo to gut permission to go on the hunt that had been arranged for. At last he a.skcd Aaron's advice. 'Hide behind some of 'cm , " Aaron ro- piled. "Fountain or Johnny Ilaptcr can take ono of the carriage horses , " Ilustcr John sug gested. Aaron nodded his head , nnd the youngster made up his mind to go with the hunters , unless everybody In the house shut their cars to his pleadings. Now , Sweetest Susan , who knew that aho coujd not go in any event , was very nnxlous for her brother to sco the hunt , nnd If her reason was partly a selfish one , It was no different In that respect from the reasons of a great many grown persons. She wanted to hoar all about the cliase , and she know that Uuster John could tell her about It better than anyone else. This was the selfish part. On the other hand , she also wanted Hu/fer John to so because his dcslro was so keen. He had never seen a fox hunt and ho was getting quite old enough , In Sweetest Susan's opinion , to share in some of the amusements of his elders. True , fox hunting Is a rough sport when It Is carried out with energy , but Duster John didn't have to break his neck riding across ditches and gullies , nnd Jumping fences. Ho could rldo behind Fountain or Johnny Dapter , oren on one at the fat nnd sober carriage horses. Sweetest Susan had heard her grandfather say many times that with good clogs , and a hot drag , a fox hunter needn't rldo very far nor very fast to see pretty much all that wns to bo seen of a fox hunt. She didn't remember Just these words , but she knew what her grandfather meant , for he himself was among those who had ceased to 'bo ' ambitious to "tall the for , " and was content to canter from ono position to an other , so as to. bo able to see the most exciting events In a fox chase. So the youngsters , as children -will , put their heads together and laid the plan of a campaign , and It wns n very cunning one , AT HIS FEET LAY THE RABBIT. too. Not a word wns to be said about the hunt until they knew the very day on which It wns to take place. Then the day before the matter was to bo broached by Jemlmy , not seriously , but in a half-Joking way. This would be followed by Sweetest Susan and then Buster John himself would make an appeal , an appeal full of tears if necessary. "You never have seen ono cry as hard as I can. " he declared to Sweetest Susan. "What you wanter wait so long 'fo' you git alter 'cm 'bout It ? " Inquired Drusllla. "Yes , " said Sweetesl Susan , "why ? " "If you begin too soon , " explained Buster John , "mamma will find forty reasons why I shouldn't go , nnd they'll nil bo good ones. If wo begin the day before she'll be too busy fixing up the house tor the gentlemen who are to go hunting ; she'll bo too busy to find any reasons. You know how mamma Is when company Is coming. " "I'm dreadln * do day , " said Drusllla with emphasis. "When comp'ny comln' do whole house got ter bo tore up an' cleaned , and eve'ythlng got ter bo desso. " "And when company comes , " chimed In Sweetest Susan , "she'll let us do anything wo ask her almost. When Mrs. TcrroU came that time I asked mamma If mo nnd Drusllla might play In the barn loft , and she kissed me nnd said 'yes. ' And the next day she happened to think about the loose planks up there , and then she said wo mustn't go In the loft never any more. " "If Mrs. Terrell hadn't been there , " snld Buster John , "she'd hnvo thought about the loose planks right on the spct. " And to this Sweetest Susan readily assented. Their mother , llko most mothers , had not the faintest Idea that the children wen- able to put their small fingers on some of her characteristics ; hut youngsters the world over are more observing and know a great deal moro than their eMrrs give them credit for. The most of them nro discreet enough to keep their knowledge to them- | selves. | Well , Buster John's plan of campaign ' was ns wo have outlined above , nnd ( though he did afterwards develop Into a very suc cessful politician ) It must not be supposed thnt his plan displayed any special aptness or brilliancy. No , he was merely a very bright boy , whose common sense was In process of development. Moreover , If bis plan had cost him any I serious thought , It would have been labor t thrown away ; for as matters turned out , It was not necessary at nil Indeed , It might have failed but for ono of those lucky In- I cldents that sometimes happen to us all. ! Buster John not only saw the fox hunt , or at least the part of It that could be seen , , but ho saw It In such a fortunate way and under such delightful circumstances that It remained for many years a red letter day In his memory.

I'UATTliU OF Till : YOl'.VfJSTKnS , "Frances , " said that little girl's mamma , who was entertaining callers In the parlor , I "you cam * rto'in stairs so noisily that you } could bo heard nil over the home. You know how to do It better than that. Now go back and come down the stairs llko a lady. " Frances retired and after the lapse of a few minutes re-entered the parlor. "Did you henr mo como down stairs this time , mnmma ? " "No , dear. I am glad you came down quietly. Now don't let me ever have to tell you ngaln not to como down noisily , for I see that you can come quietly If you will.

" FIIIST TYPEW1UTEII. WorilileNM Illock of Wood Cnt In tliu Miuiie of it StnlrcMiNC. Hidden away In a dark corner of the model room In the patent office at Washing ton , with the dust of years giving its brown surface a. coat of gray , is an apparently worthless block of wood cut In the shape of a staircase , with small blacks of wood mounted on wires on each of the stairs. When I happened to see this object wlille looking through the 400,000 models the other day I thought It must be some sort of child's plaything. On closer examina tion iny curiosity was aroused , so that I Induced ono of the busy attendants to look up the matter for mo. It wns discovered to be the first "typewriter" over made in the United States perhaps in the world. If placed by the side of one of our 1809 model typewriters , the first typewriter could not fall to provoke a smile from the spec- taMr. Instead of dainty black and nickel loiter keys , with an open framework showIng - Ing the easy working of the Intricate ma chinery of the Inside , ns Is usual In the typewriters of today , this first typewriter consists of a clcscd wooden box with blocks of wood half an Inch square for Its letter keys. The paper carriage of the first type writer 'is also of wood , nnd Instead of the operator turning the paper carriage by a mere touch on nn extension rod , as Is done with all typewriters now In use , when one line wns finished on the first typewriter the operator had to use both hands to turn the paper carriage one hand to lift a catch from the cogwheel nnd the other hand to push the paper around as far as desired. However , much ns the first typewriter differs from Its grandchildren , close exam ination shows that It has all the essentials of typewritcis as wo know them today. The Inventor of the typewriter was n. T. I' . Allen of Farmdale , Ky. , who secured his patent In 1876. There were other so-called typewriters Invented before this date , but the Allen 'Invention Is the first machine thnt bore fruit , and It Is that machine which may ho looked upon as the parent of the [ 5,000,000 or moro typewriters In use in the United States today.
