Hoop-La had deliberately given the Dogs a new scent ! Still, they received it without enthusiasm and she seemed very much disappointed. I "Hoop- La sat beside me, with licr hands on lier sides, rocking and swaying in a spasm of merriment." Hoop-La 155 knew one thing that she did not ; namely, that Dogs are instinctively afraid of coppers. When the bafifled animals went home, Hoop- La descended into the field and retrieved her financial losses. I suppose she took the coin home to her children, a...nd after familiarising tliem with its outward appearance, she told them : *' That is man-scent T A week or so after that, when I sat upon the summit of the hill, with my field-glass fixed upon the roomy piazzas of her home, it fell to my good-fortune to see her teaching her little ones. She was a tender mother, but a severe task-mistress, and plied the rod liber- ally when they made mistakes. She taught them how to play dead, how to manage their trails so the Dogs could not step on them, how to pick a Squirrel's teeth and bones, how to catch Field Mice with- out a trap, how to hunt Mares' nests, how to play Leap Frog, and how to sing the woodland spring song.
