     When   it   comes   to   the   actual   chase�察  �some   hounds   will   show   great 

ardour   at   first   starting�察  �but   presently   give   up   from   weakness   of   spirit。

     Many a hound will give up the chase and return from mere distaste for 

hunting�撮�26�А�and not a few from pure affection for mankind。 Others with 

their clamorous yelping on the line do their best to deceive�察�as if true and 

false were all one to them。��27�А�There are others that will not do that�察�but 

which in the middle of their running�撮�28�А�should they catch the echo of a

clear   motive�察  �some   of   them�察  �others   taking   too   much   for   granted�察  �and   a
