Next morning the rest of the pack decided to start themselves a n impromptu hunt, and when Fredere went to look for his patient he discovered that she was not in the house where she had been left. Listening to his dogs in their fox chase, he soon was able to distinguish her voice. He headed the hunters off as quickly as possible and caught the wounded dog. Her leg now was merely dangling, so he made a quick and painless amputation. Persuaded by his better judgment that no three-legged dog had any future In a pack of fox hounds, he prepared to kill her. In fact he even went so far to dig the grave. But just before he got ready to put the animal out of her misery he decided that while she had no future for foxes, a threelegged dog would be mighty handy for deer. So next year Maggie, who was about the best of his young fox hounds, will have to change over from her first love to deer driving.
