RABBITS TO FIND.
BY WILLIAM O. STODDARD.
"I say, Tad Murray, what's made you so late with your cows thismorning?"
"Late? Well, I guess you'd be late if you'd had such a time as I did. Itwas all old Ben's fault."
"Ben's? Why, there he is now, chasing the brindled heifer. If she'd onlyturn on him, she could pitch him over the fence like a forkful of hay."
"He's a better cow-dog than that ragged little terrier of yours, CarrHotchkiss; but he's an awful fellow to let into a corn field, 'specially'bout this time of year."
"Into a corn field!"
"When there's a lot of rabbits in the shocks."
"Are there rabbits in your corn?"
"It's just alive with 'em. And Ben he gets after 'em, and the corn's allcut and shocked, and he'll tear a shock of corn to pieces in no time;and father says it's too bad, for he hasn't any time to kill rabbits."
"Tell you what, Tad, Whip's the best dog in the world for rabbits."
"Is he?"
"He wouldn't hurt a shock of corn if he scratched clean through it. I'llfetch him along soon's you get your cows in; and we'll get Dan Burreland Eph McCormick and Frank Perry, and we'll have the biggest rabbithunt you ever heard of."...
