Old ScarKaeowould have had quite a
Mil very feeling It ho had known that the
nailing cry ho heard \vas the voice of Mr.
ColltnRnnorth'ft Music , telling the rest of
the hounds that she had < llsco\eroJ the drag
of a fox. Although Joe Maxwell , with
Duster John behind him , and liodo trotting ?
In a dignified nay fit his horse's heels , had
gone directly Into the public road by way of
the gain near the spring , the rest of the
huntsmen , ltd toy the Whlto-llalrod Master ,
Rent through the slnnoUBo lot. The dogs ,
delighted to 1)0 free once moro , and en
thusiastic over the prospect of a chase ,
went galloping about the place , nosing in
every corner ; not because they expected to
find the scent of a fox thereabouts , but because -
cause It Is their nature.
It fell to the lot of Muflc to pass near
the Bpotwhere Old Scar-race had caught
the hen the night 'before. A few feathers
wore lying scattered about. These Music
Investigated , and Immediately her none made
n.n Important discovery. A fox had parsed
that way ! "Whereupon she lifted up norelco
\olco to warn the whole pack. Some re
sponded , while others thought It was a piece
of folly , and went trotting along about their
buslncBA. But Music persisted.
Mr. Colllngsworth stopped his horse and
listened. "That's a fox as euro as tbo
world , " said ho.
'Pooh ! " cried Mr. Dennis contemptuously ;
"You've been training your dogs with a cat
nkln. Call the silly creature off , or jou will
have all the dogs going at full cry after
a neighborhood tomcat "
Just then Mr. Dentils' Huth put In :
"What dirt I tell you ? " ho Insisted. "If
there's a fox -within a radius of flvo miles
this chano of a tomcat will scare him. out
of the country. "
"Waif" said Jlr. Kllpatrlck ; "I hear
Whalebone trying to whimper , and I know
mighty -well he's not Interested In cats"
The rain had taken a good deal of the
snap out of the drag. Joe Maxwell explained -
plained to Muster John afterwards but the
hounds know their business. They flung
themselves about trying to hit upon a fresher
scent , but finally 'worked bick to the gln-
houao , from the glnhouso to the road , and
along the road to the bars. They worked
very quietly. 'Music's ' -warning "walls " had
not 'been ' repeated , liut eho , as well as the
rest , knuckled down to business , -working
with occasional wlilncs and half-barks.
Joe Maxwell and muster John had already
arrived at the bars that opened Into the
BOjgo field. When Hodo saw that all the
ro-st of the hounds were coming In his direc
tion ho lost his dignity so far as to examine
the ground near the bars.
"If that fox was fool enough to go down
to the barn during the night he's foot enough
ito stay In this field until ho heard Music
bark awhllo ago. It that's so , ho'll never
run ahead of the dogs any more. " This
was Joe Max-nell's conclusion.
Old Fountain , somewhat belated ( for his
going had not been decided on till the lust
moment. ) , caino galloping up , riding a mule ,
dismounted and flung down the birs. Some
how , It seemed to Duster John that fling
ing down the bars had brought daylight ;
for , as the last one fell , he locked about
him , tnd everything -nas plainly vlslb'o. '
Ho could see the rest of the hunters com
ing along the lane that led from the gln-
house lot , and ho could see Hodo cantering
rapidly toward the plno thicket , where he
had seen Old Scar-race.
"When ho'e up , where does he run ? " Joe
Maxwell asked Fountain.
"Straight to'rds do p'lnt er woods "cross
yandor , an * den ho b'ars tor do lef , allers
tor do let' . "
At this Instant Hodo gave a fierce chal
lenge , to which Joe Maxwell responded with

n cheerful halloo that brought all the dogs
Into the field with their he-ids up. The
clouds had now blown away from the east ,
and the level ibcarns of the rising eun fell
upon the tups of the pines.
"Name or do Lord1 Look at dat dog ! "
exclaimed Old Fountain Hodo had Itsued
from the clump of pines and -was now leap

He frit a pang , however , when he eaw
the rest of the hunters galloping helter-
ekultor after the dogs , while ho nnd Joe
Maxvvoll were ambling along In a direction
that teamed gradually to lead away from
them. Butterfly , however , was running to
ward a hill In which the sedge field
culminated , and from this point a wide ex
panse of country lay under the cje.
Joe Maxwell looked at his watch and
found that only five mlnutca had passed
slneo Hodo had led the hunt away from the
clump of pints near whlcti Old Scar Face
made hl home. The joung man gave But
terfly his head , and In a few moments had
reached the top of the hill , which , though
not bifid , was the highest point for many
miles. The sun , shining nt their backs ,
threw a flood of yellow light on the hunt.
Buster John could see his grandfather , tall
and straight , riding after the hounds ,
flanked on either side by the rest of tlio
huntsmen , whllo Old Fountain brought up
the renr , belaboring his mount with a brush
broken from some con\onlcnt tre .
The dogs could bo heard , but they -were
not In sight. They -wore running through ,
ttio point of woods to which Old Fountain
had referred. Whllo Buster John was lookIng -
Ing at the hunters Joe Maxwell ran his eye
along the horlron to the loft and caught
sight of the tot going as swiftly as the
shadow of a fljlng bird. Ho tried to show
this swiftly moving shadow to Buster John ,
and finally succeeded ; and then It - vanished
ished
"Groat goodness ! " exclaimed Maxwell ,
gleefully ; "ho must have stopped to catch a
rat. What Is he thinking about ? He won't
last forty minutes. "
"Why , he's n mlle or moro ahead of the
dogs , " said Buster John.
"A mlle and a quarter , " admitted Max
well , measuring the distance with his ejo.
"Walt till I send word to Hodo. "
Prompt as nn echo a black shadow hurled
Itself from the woods and went careering
across the open country. Joe Maxwell
raised himself In his stirrups , placed both
hands to his mouth and uttered three short ,

woods , and the hunters , who were not far
away , cheered them on. They were run
ning" beautifully , and Joe Maxwell could
afford to &ay so.
"They'll not be far away -when the end
comes , " ho remarked. "And If that old fox
has any grit In him , ho'll be caught somewhere -
where between this hill and the point of
woods the dogd came out of. "
"Why , he's running away from , hero , "
cried Buster John.
"Of course , " said Joe Maxwel , "and be
fore mnry minutes have passed he'll discover
that he can't play the old game. Of course ,
If this Isn't the old fox we're after , we'll
never see the doga catch him. They'll becoming
coming back presently , and we'l have to see
If there's any hair between their teeth. If
It Is the old fox , he'll run away till ho hears
Hodo close at hand , and then he'll get
scared and try to reach homo again. "
"Tho rest are following the dogs , " said
Burtcr John , ruefully , as ho saw them gal
loping In the sunlight.
"And > ou are sorry you're not with 'em , "
suggested Joe Maxwell "Well , they'll see no
more of the race than iwo have seen , e\en
If we're after the wrong fox. If we are
after the right one , we'll probably have htm
ready for their Inspection by the time they
get back. But we're not going to stand
here , " ho said , reassuringly. "Wo are to
put Hodo right at his heels when be comes
back. "
This they did. In fact , as Butterfly was
chafing at the bit , Joe Maxwell let him have
his head on tbo firm Bermuda turf , and he
went flying along In a way that thrilled
Buster John. A mile of this sort of travel
ing was enough to satisfy Butterfly's ambi
tion for aw hire , and he was willing to stand
quietly when his rider finally drew rein.
The dogs could bo heard running far
away , their voices borne back on the
mortilng brcezo llko the echoes of me
lodious complainings , Joe Maxwell
looked at his watch again. The hunt had

, "That's the right fox , " said the young fel-

"S'o , they're coming back , " replied Max
well.
"I don't hear them , " said Buster John.
"Nor I , " Maxxwell admitted ; "but But
terfly docs. "
And sure enough the thin and sensitive
oaro of the horse pointed forward , and ho
wna listening Intently. Presently a mur
muring , singing sound was heard , llko the
humming of bees. It grew louder by de
grees and eoomed to bo coming nearer and
nearer.
"Ho's duo hero pretty soon , If he's on
schedule time , " said Joe Maxwell , In a low
voice. "Keep porfectlj still. Don't move.
I want you to see how Hodo manages this
sort of thing. "
As the dogs topped a distant hill their
voices sounded like a clash of cymbals , with
full brass band accompaniment. They
scorned to bo nearer than they really were.
"Yonder ho comes , " said Buster John ,
under his breath. He had his hand on Joe
Maxwoirs arm , and ho Indicated the position
of Old Scar-Faco with his thumb.
The old fox was running bravely. Ho
showed none of the usual symptoms of de
feat , or oven fatigue. His brush was well
up , and he was going very nimbly and rap-
Idly. Ho soon disappeared , and the music of
Uie park died away a the dogs descitided
Into the depression below the hill. Then
came the sharp , eager cry of Hodo , close at
hand. The watchers saw him come over a
fence 100 jards awa > , like a bird , and he
ran toward them with head up and toil down.
Evidently his Mood 'was ' up , too.
Ho swept by some distance from the point
where the fox had passed and Buster John
declared that ho was not on the track nt.all.
Joe ( Maxwell made no reply , but gave to
Hodo the signal which told the dog that the
fox was not far away. Again , as before , the
dog Increased his speed , bearing closer to
the drag , and this time Joe Maxwell , with
Duster John behind him , rode rapidly ia a
parallel direction.
"I give him five more minutes , " said
Hodo's master , "but ho's certainly a game
old fox. "
Faster and faster went Butterfly for sev
eral hundred yards , and then suddenly drew
rein. The valley before them afforded a
plain view , except for a ditch which ran
through the middle. The dampness there
had attracted a growth of alders , brambles
aud such iwecds and shrubbery as thrive
where the ground is wet. On either side ot
thfs ditch there was a ctear space of Ber
muda turf , dotted hero and there with small
pine brushes. On the further side of
this ditch Hodo was running. Suddenly he
turned , crossed the ditch and came fljlng
back , while Joe Maxwell rode toward him as
fast as Butterfly could go Again Hodo
crossed the ditch , and as he did so Old Scar-
Face came out on the opposite side and went
careering across the open field. In a series
of wild jella Joe Maxwell gave Hodo the
view halloo , and in another moment the dog
had been across the ditch again , and had Old
Scar-Faco In plain view.
It Is safe to say that never in the course
of his life will Buster John ever experience
such sensations as ho then had , or behold
such another spectacle as was there enacted
before his eyes. He could only vaguely re
member that he heard the cry of the dogs
behind him , and that the voice of Hodo
HODO CATCHES OLD SCAU-FACE.
sounded like a de&p and continuous mur
mur. Within the course of fifty yards the
dog overran the fox and turned In and
caught him before Old Scar-Faco could get
himself under way again
And the funnv part of it was that all the
other dogs wore up In time to give the dead
fox a good shaking before ho got cold.
When the hunters came up Mr. Collings-
worth pretended to believe that Mublo had
killed tbo fox , and Buster John was aston
ished to see that Joe Maxwell claimed noth
ing for Hodo. Mr Denis insisted that
Rowan or Ruth was the guilty party , while
Mr Kilpatrlck declared that If killing foxes
was a hanging crime he wouldn't give a
thrlp for Whalebone's life These remarks
were all Jokes , gome of them as old as the
men who wade them But Buster John
didn't know that.
"Why , the other dogs were not In sight
when Hodo and the fox came Into the field ,
and they didn't como up till the fox was
caught and Killed , " Buster John asserted.
This statement seemed to make no Im
pression on the others -"Abercromble ,
make the boy tell } ou tonight how much
Maxwell gave him to talk that way , " re
marked Mr Colllngbworth.
Seeing that Buster John's feelings were
hurt , Joe Maxwell turned to him laughing.
"They're only Joklnp. " ho explained "They
know very well that their dogs -would never j
have caught the fox. "
' Why , Hodo vas running him all around {
hero like n rlbblt before the rest ot the d&g *
WCTO In eight , and teforo they did get In '
eight ho had killed him , " exclaimed Buster
John.
" 1 believe you , " cried Mr. Colllngsworth.
"That dog of > ours Is a freak , Maxwell ,
there'll never bo another llko htm. Of
course we'll have dogs that can catch rod
foxes ; this pack here can do It any day In
the week , but we'll never f > ee another do ?

Wonderful AVork of n IUIp Knife In
Mmiv Mllrn of IMpp.
To those of inquiring mind who have seen
or read of the long pipes that carry crude
petroleum from the wells of Western Penn-
s > Ivanla to the refineries on the Atlantic
scacoast , It Is a source of wonder how the
pipes are cleaned
As the oil flows through these underground
conduits , the parafilne In the fluid Is sep
arated , and this residuum encrusts the sides |
of the pipes and proves a serious hindrance
to the free passage of the current of oir.
The device that Is used to remedy this evil
1s a knife , about two feet In length , with n
sharp edge that Is constructed exactly Hko
the thread of a screw ; Indeed , the knife it
self resembles a huge headless screw more
than anything else. It Is always slightly
smaller In diameter than the pipe It passes
through.
When the thickness of the crust of par-
ofilno renders a cleaning necessary , this In
strument Is inserted In tbo first link ot the
hugo Iron chain far off In the oil fields. It
roiolves Its motive power from the stream
of petroleum , which It accompanies an the
way to the coast , revolving rapidly as It hur
ries along , and scraping the channels clean
from every particle of parafllne.
It turns and twists and cleanses In this
manner throughout Its whole long Journey ,
finally dropping from the pipes in the midst
of the vast stream of petroleum that empties
continually Into the receiving tanks at the
refineries. Of course Its edges are duller
than when It started upon Us expedition , but
otherwise Its condition Is perfect. It Is im
mediately shipped back to the fields , where
It Is sharpened again and laid away until
future parafllne accumulations require ooee
more Its valuable services.
