After the boys isometirnes not very young bo.vs, either) agree on the route the merry party starts out. First they go down through the big woods. Sure enough thero in tho paw paw patch Old Lead trees a large oppossum on the ground, doubled up as though dead. But as he is only shamming death is soon made a reality by a few well directed blows from a stick. Next they start around Jack's cow field for coons have a noted appetite for corn, but before they haye gone half wuy around Lead strikes a fre*h coon track and away go dogs and boys down to the old coon hollow, almost, the same place from whence they started. There on the top limb of a buckeye sapling sits Mr. Coon, eyeing his audience below, In a few moments Dick has jerked off his coat and boots and Is rapidly ascending the tree, but ere he has climed far Mr. Coon makes a leap for freedom, landing right in old Ring's mouth. Then the fun commences. It is coon, dogs and boys, with squalls, barks, shouts v.nd laughter, in one indescribable coon fight. Oh, you city chaps, you are "not in it."
