And the man long-practised discipline made him lay down his gun, instead of dropping it; and then he voiced an exclamation of astonishment scarcely more articulate than Jan's own cry, and his two arms swung out and around the hound's massive shoulders in a movement that was an embrace. "Why, Jan dear old Jan! Jan, come back to me here! Good old Jan!"

"I am always glad John was with Mr. Blank his first year in business," said a mother speaking of her son. Mr. Blank was a man who had a life-long reputation for being as straight as a shingle and as clean as a hound's tooth, every inch a gentleman.

As the Nuthill party walked down the station approach to their wagonette, among quite a crowd of other people, Betty felt Jan's collar suddenly tighten his height, even now, allowed her to hold the young hound's collar easily without using a lead, for he stood over thirty-one inches at the shoulder and, glancing down, saw the hair all about his neck and shoulder-bones rise, stiffly bristling.

As I looked at the imprint a little closer I grew certain that the hound's paws had been bound round with some soft material linen, calico, or washleather, for one of the coverings had come unloosed and I saw a distinct mark of claws.

"Why, yes, Barnabas," nodded John, "in honor o' this occasion though, to be sure, the sign would look better for a touch o' paint here and there the poor old Hound's only got three legs and a tail left, d' ye see and the hare, Barnabas, the hare ain't!" "P'r'aps we'd better take and let him see for hisself, John?" "Right, Natty Bell, so he shall."

She stamped that idea on a thoughtful fellow. He's a Welshman. They are all excitable, have heads on hound's legs for a flying figure in front. Still, they must have an object, definitely seen by them definite to them if dim to their neighbours; and it will run in the poetic direction: and the woman to win them, win all classes of them, within so short a term, is a toss above extraordinary.

He was of about his own age, smooth shaven, with a frank, open face that gave him a clean and wholesome appearance. He had the lithe frame and red cheeks of an athlete in training his eyes clear as night air, his teeth white as a hound's.

To say it was love at first sight when that hound, dragging his prison around with him, looked up into the boy's face, and when that ragged boy who loved the woods and had a gun at home looked down into the hound's eyes, would hardly be putting it strong enough. It was more than love it was perfect understanding, perfect comprehension. "I'm your dog," said the hound's upraised, melancholy eyes.

"'He seemed not to notice us, and stalked on with an innocent yep! yep! like a sick hound's, more than anything else. "'Suddenly his eye caught us, and flashed fire. At the first view, he crouched to the earth, then came on us, bounding like a tost foot-ball. More magnificent leaps I never beheld! We were struck dumb but fired and turned our horses' heads! all but Featherstone.

The Lieutenant, Fred, and myself, proceeded to the spot, and as we approached, Bimbo attempted to rise, but the vigilant animal, with an angry growl, grasped him by the neck, and the dirty fellow was content to lie quiet, although he used his voice well, and broke forth with lamentations at the hound's rough treatment.
